And you won't even get a restraining order

Having devoted bajillions of megabytes to the world domination of Holly Madison, we thought we knew every last claim to fame that Madders possesses but here’s one we didn’t know about – Holly Madison slot machines!

La Madz Twitpicced this one last night, and rest assured, we will be right down there to get our hands on her buttons and our fists in her slot.

But in the way down, what we really want to know is: how the hell did we miss these before? We’re thinking they must be new, from her use of the #milestone hashtag, but still, we feel like this is something we should have known about. Why didn’t Planet Hollywood set up a red carpet for the unveiling, huh?

Does Holly’s slot live up to expectations? We’ll roadtest it very soon and let you know!

Scoping Out the WiFi Options at The Venetian and Planet Hollywood

August 19, 2010 at 6:37 PM | by eastcoastgambler | 3 Comments

Today, we have a special guest post from EastCoastGambler who details his harrowing WiFi experience on a recent trip to Vegas. Enjoy!

I usually don't mind paying for WiFi in my room if I plan on using it, but this trip to Vegas was for relaxing and that meant detaching from my computer as much as possible.

The $17.99 resort fee at The Venetian was optional, thanks to a slot tournament I was participating in, but that also meant I had to pay a la carte for WiFi service when I needed it. So I decided to scope out the free WiFi options at both The Venetian and Palazzo and further down the Strip at Planet Hollywood. Here's what I found:

The Odds Of Rubbing Up Against Statham and Stallone Tonight Are Looking Good

We are ready, willing and able to be Expendable to Jason Statham. Just putting that one out there.

We’re not sure it’s quite accurate to call The Expendables “the summer’s most anticipated and action-packed movie” as them lot at Planet Hollywood did this morning, but we’ll forgive their hyperbole since they’ve got Jason Statham and Sly Stallone in town for the premiere tonight. Who, after all, could fail to be over-excited by those two hot bods?

Our favorite Vegas honeymooner Vegasstar11 was asking about star-spotting opps at the premiere only last night, and we would say that if it’s anything like the last PH premiere (for Get Him To The Greek), it’ll be easy peasy to get close to the honchos.

It's Official: Holly Madison Hates Resort Fees

July 29, 2010 at 2:57 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Live Holly action, courtesy of @PHVegas

Call it a psychic link, because right now, as we are writing this, little Holly Madison has nipped down to Planet Hollywood for a stunt to show how much money you spend on resort fees in Vegas. Seeing as we hate resort fees, we thoroughly approve of her latest campaign. Well done Madders!

In other news this week:

* OMG! WTF! She adopted a ferret! Whether that’s meant to be sexually suggestive, or indicative of the fact that she wants bubbies, we’re not sure.

* Wot, another Vegas Deluxe mention? Oh yes. Josh Strickland name-checked her all over the place in his guest column covering Robin Leach’s holiday.

This (Nearly) 30 Year Old Virgin Did It At the Stratosphere

July 23, 2010 at 4:04 PM | by juliab | 11 Comments

We told you about our first time...visiting Vegas, that is. And you’ve told us about yours. Except you all seemed to do it with your parents. So we thought it was time for the next member of VegasChatter to tell you about her deflowering at the ripe age of 29.

My most shameful Sin City admission? That I only came here for the first time last year. Yes, I left it until I was pushing 30 to lose my Vegas virginity. Loser. On the upside, being such a late developer meant that I could do it in style, which kind of makes up for it.

2009 was my annus horribilis. I loathed my job in London, I had a catalogue of disasters come my way, and when a friend died in tragic circumstances last July, and I was expected to write about it for the newspaper I worked for, I knew I needed time (and job) out.

I wanted to go somewhere I could relax – somewhere with, as I thought, no culture, nobody I knew, no expectations and no judgment when I got completely onion bhajied. There could only be one place – Vegas! Ok, Vegas as part of a road trip across America. That way, I figured, I could do some Kerouac-esque finding myself in oblivion. Romantico! So I signed myself off work for six weeks and three days after the funeral I was on a plane to LA.

I stayed a week in LA but the place didn’t really speak to me. I’d planned three days in Vegas to douse myself in alcohol and move on, expecting the hangover to be the longest lasting effect it had on me. But the drive along the I-15 was kind of life-changing. I’d never seen a desert before, and I was utterly entranced – I remember pulling off the road near Barstow, mesmerized at how hot the wind was, and how there were real, live cacti sitting in front of me on the roadside. You know those three huge sandy lumps on the plain outside Baker? I was fascinated. I made them the desktop on my laptop that night, and I’m still staring at them today.

Suck in Those Abs: Holly Madison Wants You to Join Her On Stage

July 16, 2010 at 11:58 AM | by juliab | 0 Comments

You could be shaking your thangs together in a couple of weeks

It feels like only a couple of weeks ago that we were giving a thumbs up to the Wynn’s new scuba diving in Le Reve package, and saying that you wouldn’t find it (as in, being able to perform in a show) anywhere else.

Except, now you can, because it looks like that crafty madame Holly Madison has taken a leaf out of Steve Wynn’s book. E! has just launched a competition called Holly’s Vegas Peepstakes, and if you win, you’ll get flights to Vegas for you and your three BFFs (they can fight between themselves for who’s going to be stuck as Laura), two nights at Planet Hollywood, and a meet and greet with Holly.

Then, while your BFFs kick back and watch Peepshow in VIP seats, you’ll get a walk-on part in the show. Whether you’ll be in the nuddie is anyone’s guess.

Thrown Down Your Dollar Bills! (For Beer, Not Strippers)

July 9, 2010 at 8:06 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Man, Vegas makes it so easy for us to continue being alcoholics what with Nickel PBR nights at CityCenter and now $1 Beer Mondays at Cabo Wabo at The Miracle Mile shops.

Starting this Monday, guests can guzzle a variety of draft beers for only a dollar from 9 to 11pm. Appetizers, entrees and other food will still be full price but we think if the booze is $1 than you can certainly pony up for at least a quesadilla.

Just remember, please no drinking and driving. We don't want anyone at Cabo Wabo (or anywhere for that matter) pulling a Vince Neil.

Unleash Your Inner Celeb Stalker at Planet Hollywood Today

Where: 3475 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109
June 24, 2010 at 1:46 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Hey stalkers fans, have you ever wanted to own something that your idol used to have? Wear the coat off their back? Caress your skin with their freshly starched undies? Start each day with a sniff of their perfume ingrained on a hanky? (NB, that may just be the Matt Goss fans we know.)

Well now’s your chance. At Planet Hollywood today, tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday, there’s the Julien’s Auctions Summer Sale. Who is Julien? He's actually called Darren Julien, but seeing as he’s not famous and we don’t want to sniff him, we're more interested in what he’s shifting: namely, truckloads of celeb goodies.

Cher’s dresses, Elvis’ guitar a load of Michael Jackson stuff (from sofas to Swarowksi-crusted gloves), Sinatra’s jewelry and lots of other pieces owned by less Vegassy people (Johnny Cash, Hendrix, Anna Nicole Smith and – wtf – R Kelly) are all up for grabs.

Today and tomorrow are Music Icons days, Saturday and Sunday are billed Hollywood Legends (we repeat, wtf, seeing as Anna Nicole Smith is placed here) and there’s also a Star Trek auction for the geeks on Sunday. There’s even a chance to meet William Shatner today at 11am and 5pm. Amaze.

Holly's World Recap: Mom Visits, Holly Gets Rear-Ended

Holly's realization that her date isn't an alchemist.

Another episode of Holly’s World hit the airwaves last night and of course we were there to watch. The episode moved back to Las Vegas and focused mostly on Holly Madison’s dating life, a little on Laura, and even less on Angel and Josh. Here’s what we learned of our cast of characters:

Holly’s World Debuts, World Domination Starts in Mexico

June 14, 2010 at 8:27 PM | by Mr Pappagiorgio | 0 Comments

We could play Toto. Call us, Holly. Please.

Holly Madison’s march toward world domination started last night with the premiere of her new reality show Holly’s World. And world domination apparently starts in Mexico as she took the show to Cancun. Unfortunately that meant not too many Vegas shots as of yet – ‘tis the price to be Queen of the World.

Still, we did get a good look at the show’s cast of characters who will haunt our nightmares become very familiar to us over the next few weeks:

Planet Hollywood Really Needs a 'Get Him To The Greek' Package

Where: 3667 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
June 9, 2010 at 12:36 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

See? It’s Planet Hollywood! Where’s Holly Madison?

Bored of the douchebag brigade recreating moments from The Hangover left, right and center? Get ready for them to have a new vocabulary, because Get Him to the Greek, which went straight to the top of the box office when it opened at the weekend, was partly filmed in Vegas.

The plot, as you’ll probably know by now, is about a record exec (Jonah Hill) dispatched by his boss P Diddy to fetch rocker Aldous Snow, AKA Russell Brand, from London to LA, via New York and Vegas. We actually found it very funny (although we’re in a minority of one among people whose views we respect on this one, and it could have had something do to with Russell Brand kissing us right before we saw the film).

But best of all, obvs, we liked the Vegassy locations. As well as a generic strip club and drug deal (we’re thinking North Las Vegas), we spied places we knew: the Strip, for one, where P Diddy gets run over.

A Buxom of Beauties (And Mario Lopez) Hit Planet Hollywood Last Night

Where: 3475 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89109
May 25, 2010 at 12:25 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Sometimes we feel that here at VegasChatter we’re concentrating so hard on the sexy men (and Chippendales) of Vegas, that we forget to show equal love to the female form. So in an attempt to redress the balance, here’s a video of a couple of hundred sexy ladies in bikinis.

The occasion? The Cosmo Bikini Bash at Planet Hollywood. Presided over by Mario Lopez (unexpectedly yummy) and Lo Bosworth (unexpectedly lovely) and featuring appearances by Carson Kressley (unexpectedly hawt toes) and Holly Madison (not unexpected in the least). Apart from Mario leaving early (possibly because we told him his soon-to-be-sprogged baby would be fit - in the English sense), a good time was had by all. "All" mainly being the 98% male spectators.

Hotness

Now what would the collective noun for this be? A buxom of girls? Feel free to study the video for etymological research as you decide.
