Katie Price and Alex Reid's Wynn Wedding: Where They Done It
Katie buys the ring. The hat? We blame jet lag
Remember the charming couple we told you to keep an eye out for yesterday morning as they arrived in Vegas? Remember how we said they might be here to get married? Well they’ve only gone and done it, haven’t they?
After sexyman Norm Clarke tweeted this afternoon that the word on the Strip was about the Price’s impending nuptials, we sped our way down to Planet Hollywood, where she and lovah Alex Reid were shacking up.

Print Out Your Photos at These Kodak Kiosks
Remember the old days when cameras required film and you had to wait at least a week to get your vacation pictures back from the developer? Then remember when one-hour photo processing was introduced and we thought nothing could be better? Yeah, that was a long time ago.
Now that everything's gone digital, everyone is printing out their own pictures--whether it be on specialty photo printers at home or by doing it in-person at the drugstore. And guess what? You can even do it in the Wynn Las Vegas..
We spied this nifty little photo kiosk on the Esplanade near the shoe shops and the Pizza Place. There's also another one located in the Bellagio too. Simply plug in your camera, memory stick, USB card or even CD and the kiosk will print out your picture right there.
The pricing options vary depending on what kind of print you want and how many but typically, a single photo print-out costs about 30 cents. But we wouldn't be surprised if there were Vegas-esque prices here for your print-outs.

Unwind and Upload at Terrace Pointe Cafe's CES Happy Hour
Terrace Pointe Cafe at The Wynn made our list yesterday for places with free WiFi in Vegas so it makes perfect sense that the bar is doing a Happy Hour every day of CES.
From 3 to 6pm, beer and specialty cocktails like margaritas and sangrias are $7 while tapas range from $4 (guac and chips) to $10 (triple play angus beef sliders). Plus you can take out your laptops and not converse with anyone IRL because this time of the year, everyone's doing that!

The High-Low Appeal of Garth Brooks at The Encore
After we took this photo, Purple People yelled at us.
If you find yourself strolling around the Wynn and Encore properties these days, chances are the one and only song you will hearing blaring from the Wynn's outdoor speakers is "Friends in Low Places." And yes, that's because country superstar Garth Brooks has officially kicked off his semi-permanent residency here. (Wynn might be playing his other songs but the four different times we were outside the hotel, it was that ultimate bar crowd pleaser playing.)
We were invited along with several other Vegas media folk to attend the 10:30pm showing of Garth's concert on Saturday night, his second night in town.
With tickets at a healthy rate of $143 (including tax) for any and all seats, front row or back row, we're here to tell you exactly what you're gonna get. Well, not exactly since Garth might be taking different requests when you go. Yes, he takes requests.

How to Get Garth Brooks Tickets for Friday (But Also, Be Realistic)
So the big day is getting near--Garth Brooks first concert at the Encore Theater. Yes, tickets for his first batch of concerts have been sold-out since the end of October. But all hope is not lost.
There reportedly are some tickets available due to ticket cancellations and the discovery that some tickets belonged to scalpers and other unscrupulous folks., etc.
Ok, let's be clear here: your chances of getting Garth tickets for this weekend are SLIM TO NONE. But if you feel the "thunder roll" and you know that you've got "friends in low places" working magic behind the ticket booths and that God will not leave you with this "unanswered prayer" and that "somewhere other than the night", these Garth tickets were meant to be yours, there is a way to try.

Sugar and Ice Has Now Turned Into The Pizza Place
We've always loved the old-timey malt shop and cafe Sugar and Ice at Wynn Las Vegas, mostly because of its waterfall views and the free WiFi but the ice cream and sweets weren't so bad either!
That's why it's a good thing that although the shop has changed names to the generic Pizza Place, the free WiFi has remained. The menu hasn't changed that much either. There is still gelato on-hand, as well as sandwiches (which are more of the Italian sub variety) and salads but as the name implies, pizza pies are now yours to be had. Cheese slices start at $4.25, 12" pies at $12.50 and 22" pies at $27.50.
The Pizza Place is open Sunday through Thursday from 9am to 11pm and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Beyonce To Make Nearly a Million Bucks a Show at Wynn?
According to sexiest male gossip columnist alive, Norm Clarke, word on the Strip is that Wynn Las Vegas is courting superstar Beyonce to do a longterm show. While we already find it shocking that Beyonce would consider setting up semi-permanent shop in Vegas, what's completely wild is the figure being thrown around for Beyonce's paycheck: $750,000 per show..
Now, this wouldn't be a six nights a week, double performances on Fridays and Saturdays kind of gig. It's probably something similar to Garth Brooks deal which is strictly weekend shows for month-long stretches. And we surmise that Queen B will fill in when Garth needs some time off.
Still, $750,000 a show? With a hefty paycheck like that, ticket prices are sure to be high and never discounted.

Whether You Run The Marathon or Sleep Through It, Here's How Encore Suggests You Relax
Taking a break from all the CityCenter Madness, we'd like to remind you that the Las Vegas Rock n' Roll Marathon is taking place on Sunday!
As the official host hotel of the race, The Wynn Las Vegas is pulling out all the stops for marathon runners and supporters. One place inside the Wynn and The Encore that we expect to be pretty busy this weekend? The spas.
But with so many relaxation options to choose from, we sought out Ella Stimpson, director of spa operations for The Spa at Encore, to suggest some post-Marathon treatments, whether you're a runner or not.

Steve Wynn Goes Shopping at Art Basel, Comes Home With Stallone Painting
Art has never been the first thing we seek out in Vegas, although we bet the galleries at the Bellagio and Wynn are decent places to escape when the sound of the slot sonatas starts to send us batty. But the news of Steve Wynn’s latest acquisition has us rethinking our art aversion. While in Miami for Art Basel this week, Wynn purchased a painting by Sylvester Stallone. Uh huh. Rocky. Rambo. Sly. Judge Dredd. He paints.
Apparently, Stallone has been a part-time painter for 30 years, but his foray into the Art Basel world puts him in the professional category. What else do you call it when you sell your painting to one of the most famous collectors in America for $40,000? Wynn took a shine to an abstract piece, while another art gallery bigwig bought a Stallone self-portrait for $50,000.

Taste of Wynn Has Closed To Make Way For Garth Swag
Thanks to the tweets of Two Way Hard Three's Hunter, we were tipped off that Taste of Wynn inside Encore has closed.
How could this be? The retail shop devoted to all things culinary at Wynn and Encore had just opened on October 1. Well, the official word is that the shop closed to make room for an entertainment store that will feature merchandise from Le Rêve, the property's nightclubs and the forthcoming Garth Brooks concerts. A rep for Encore tells us:
Given the proximity to the theaters, this made the most sense. The Taste of Wynn store was a great success and we intend to relocate the concept to Wynn LVNV in the near future. We will continue to explore other opportunities for Taste of Wynn at both properties.
In the meantime, you can buy your Wynn/Encore-branded goodies at not only Wynn LVNV, but at the XS store (while it's still around) and either one of the Wynn/Encore sundries stores. But may we suggest skipping the purchase of an Encore t-shirt and taking a chance on the tables instead? This is Vegas. You're supposed to "risk it all!" not come home with a hotel-branded t-shirt.

And Then There Were Four in the Fierce Top Chef Competition
Oooh, this week was a goody on Top Chef Las Vegas. We’re down to final five contestants who were giving it their all for the last challenge in Vegas and with Robin finally out of the way, we can focus on the real talent of this competition.
The intro scene is full all things Hallmark-y stuff that pull on your heartstrings. Kevin throws on a rosary and hails his wife Callie as his inspiration to win. Aww…as if we needed another reason to route for this sweet ‘ole Southern boy. Eli waxes poetic on being the youngest one in the house, but citing his mentor as Richard Blais (Top Chef contestant, Season 5). Jen fesses up to being unfocused the past few weeks and sets herself up for an all too obvious comeback.

Are You Sexier Than Edward Cullen? Then You Could Win $5,000 at Blush
Listen up, Edward Cullen wanna-bes: With Halloween right around the corner, Blush nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas aims to bring the Twilight movies and books to life with a contest to find the sexiest vampire in Vegas.
The contest, dubbed “Vampoween,” will be held Oct. 27 and will award $5,000 to the reveler—male or female—with the best vampire costume.
Co-hosted by Grey Goose and SpyonVegas, it will be a night for a little fright and maybe a little bite. Doors for the contest open at 9 p.m. and local women always get in free.
