Vince Neil: Some behavior has no excuse

Honestly I never cared about Vince Neil enough to know his history or that he claimed to not drink at all. If so, it would have been easy enough to call him out on that. He is a regular, with a glass in hand, around Vegas at receptions and events. I can’t [...]

De-evolution: four walling, the Faust of Vegas

I went to check out Devo at the official debut of the new Crown Theatre/nightclub at Rio. This is the space that has hosted everyone from magician Mac King to Prince’s 3121 stand.
I remain very excited by the independent booking of the club. I am less impressed by the mix of concert venue with nightclub. [...]

Criss Angel hiring: jobs available pretending to like his tricks

In a recession it is easier to hire people who will pretend to be tricked than to come up with good magic tricks. That is my theory. Criss Angel is releasing a magic kit. Maybe it will be so good that people will be impressed by the tricks?
Well, hint, it does not seem like Criss [...]

Steve Wyrick’s checking account: bet you have more in your pocket

This is not a magician to give money from your wallet for a trick.  It might really vanish.
It is a sad spectacle to kick someone when they are down.  I am not proud to be doing so. But you get the truth and rumors confirmed at bad moments. That’s life, as Mr. Sinatra sang. And, [...]

How does Vegas spell success: f-a-i-l-u-r-e?

MGM Grand moves a “popular” show from a theater for productions  to a nightclub meant for dancing. How does that make sense?  The reason, of course, has to do with popularity.  A press release announcing the move–well, sort of announcing the move–opens dramatically: “The phenomenally popular off-Broadway production Girls Night The Musical has extended [...]

Steve Wyrick living off mom, needs a job

I know I  have had issues with Steve Wyrick in the past. Last time I spoke to the former magician he promised me a better explanation than the one he was then peddling for one of his tricks that messed up. That explanation never arrived. Then, when his nightclub/vanity-performance-space/and-killer-of- many-shows/ showroom  at [...]

Remembering: Ronnie James Dio

I was at this Heaven & Hell show at Palms’ Pearl venue in 2007. It was one of the first concerts in the months after Pearl opened. The sound quality of this clip is hideous especially considering how good the sound mix is inside Pearl.  But the clip shows the energy Ronnie James Dio brought [...]

Criss Angel: not dead yet, fans disappointed

Criss Angel is not a rip off  Houdini  but a tribute artist. Or, something like that. Despite lending “Believe” its name, I doubt Houdini could have mustered the concentration to sit through the show at Luxor.
There is a funny blog item from Phoenix New Times about Criss Angel’s escape a few days ago from a [...]

Holly Madison is not getting pregnant today

Tila Tequila  has a new name and a new blog.
The new incarnation called Miss Tila is hosting tonight at LAX at Luxor. To keep things simple LAX is still calling her Tila Tequila.
Miss Tila’s blog kicks off with a big local Vegas story. She reports as “breaking news” that “Peepshow” star Holly Madison is getting [...]

Miss Tila Tequila (Holly Madison needs baby ‘idea’s’)?

According to LAX’s press release, the vacuous vacuum Tila Tequila will be hosting tonight. But LAX apparently did not get the news that Tila Tequila is no more.
Don’t cry yet.
The Tila Tequila tadpole has emerged a frog; the whatever she does celebrity has announced her rebirth as the newly minted celebrity blogger “Miss Tila (formerly [...]
