Gwen & Gavin

Gavin & Gwen

This past weekend, Hakkasasn Las Vegas Restaurant and Nightclub at MGM Grand celebrated its one-year anniversary with non-stop festivities, and in attendance of the monumental affair was Hollywood power couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Following the birth of their newest addition Apollo Bowie Flynn in February, the couple enjoyed a night out alongside talented artists including Tiësto, Questlove and more as they toasted to Hakkasan Las Vegas’ big milestone Saturday, April 26.

The night began as the proud new parents were spotted dining at Hakkasan Restaurant with family and friends including Stefani's brother, Todd Stefani and his wife Jennifer, along with longtime friend and well-known hairstylist Danilo. Arriving just after 10 p.m., the beautiful new mom and known fashion icon was dressed to perfection wearing a black leather studded ALC jacket, blue suede L.A.M.B. pumps and a Kelly Wearstler clutch, indulged in a number of Hakkasan signature dishes as she engaged in conversation with her adoring husband, Danilo and family while sipping on The Hakka, Hakkasan’s most talked about cocktail. Looking to continue their night out, the gorgeous couple and their guests made their way up to Hakkasan Nightclub following their dinner. As the group arrived inside they were immediately escorted to their VIP booth located on the main stage. As they walked through the crowd, the energy of the packed room soared to new levels while partygoers cheered for Stefani and Rossdale. All throughout the evening, the stunning couple was in good spirits as they danced and mingled with their guests. They were even spotted taking photos of each other while hanging out in their VIP booth.
 
Tiesto
The evening continued with non-stop high energy and was a sight to see as electronic music heavyweight Tiësto took over the DJ booth with a set unlike anything the main room of the nightspot has ever seen, while iconic DJ Questlove kept the energy alive in Hakkasan’s Ling Ling Club. Just before Tiësto took over the decks, he was joined by Hakkasan Group CEO Neil Moffitt as an eye-catching seven-tiered cake adorned with an elaborate Chinese dragon and topped with the iconic Hakkasan emblem was presented to commemorate the anticipated one-year anniversary celebration. Filled with excitement the gentleman shook hands and congratulated each other on an amazing year as confetti burst into the air, marking an unforgettable start to the nightclub’s anniversary celebrations.

KINDSOMNIA Took Over Vegas! Kids LOVED It!

On Saturday, more than 2,500 Las Vegas students representing all 59 Southern Nevada middle schools were up all night, all in the name of being Kind. Hosted by the Josh Stevens Foundation, KINDSOMNIA was back for its third year.

KINDSOMNIA is designed to be a life-changing event during which middle school students celebrate and practice acts of Kindness. The evening begins with a “Kindness rally” led by Drew Stevens, founder, Josh Stevens Foundation. He will discuss ways to incorporate Kindness into everyday life and how to create a legacy to be proud of. With this newfound or reinforced knowledge, the students begin their adventure for the evening. Throughout the night, they will be challenged to reach out and make new friends, be Kind to each other and catch one another in the act of being Kind.

Students spent the evening at numerous, adventure-packed attractions throughout Southern Nevada including AdventureDome, paintballing, Skymania, Cosmic Bowling, and extreme obstacle courses. The evening began with the Kindness rally. From there, they were transported by bus to all locations and supervised not only by a group of Foundation staff members, but also nearly 300 adult and parent volunteers. The students returned by 7 a.m. on Sunday.

The turn-out of nearly 2,500 students represented a 40 percent increase over 2013’s attendance.

WHO: Founded in 2008, the Josh Stevens Foundation’s mission is to recognize and reward a child’s heartfelt Kind act and to inspire kids to be more Kind, more often. Genuine Kindness born in the heart of a child deserves celebration. One month before Josh’s 13th birthday, he lost his life in a tragic accident in September 2008. Amongst his friends, family and community, he was known as a person who was Kind and often did good deeds for others. He left a legacy of Kindness that lives on today through the work of the foundation. To date, nearly 90,000 Kindness cards and 300,000 “Be Kind” t-shirts with various slogans have been printed and distributed.

USAC HPD Midget Series Comes To LVMS Saturday 4/26!

The USAC HPD Midget Series will make its second visit this season to Las Vegas as NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing resumes Saturday night at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
NASCAR Super Late Models, Super Stocks, Bombers, Legend Cars, Bandoleros and Thunder Cars also will be on the track for a full night of racing at the 3/8-mile paved oval.

Tight points battles highlight many of the NASCAR-sanctioned divisions, including Super Late Model, where four-time track champion Scott Gafforini of Henderson holds a narrow seven-point lead over North Las Vegas’ David Anderson.

Vinny Raucci Jr. of Las Vegas has finishes of third and second this season and leads the NASCAR Super Stock division by seven points over fellow Las Vegan James Wingard.

Other drivers with multiple feature wins this season include Jason Irwin, with two victories in Legend Car, Ian Anderson, with two wins in Thunder Car, and Mason Sargent, who is a perfect 3-for-3 in the Bandolero Bandits class.

Spectator gates open at 5 p.m. Saturday, qualifying will begin at 5:50 p.m. and heat races and features will start at 7 p.m.

Serendipity 3 At Caesars Palace To Undergo Some Whimsical Changes & Enhanced Menu

Five years and more than 500,000 signature Frrrozen Hot Chocolates later, Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace, has become a must-see dining destination, much like the original New York City location. Changes at the popular eatery are currently underway, set to elevate the indoor and outdoor dining experience.

Exciting new features include a whimsical 26-ft. tall Tiffany-style lamp flanking the expanded outdoor patio, featuring vibrant pinks and oranges, color staples of the Serendipity 3 brand. The expanded strip facing patio now features a full bar complete with counter seating and several high definition televisions, providing guests a front-row view of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and iconic Caesars Palace fountains.

The expanded interior space will now feature additional tables and seating, as well as floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful scenery.  The imaginative décor features the well-known oversized lighting fixtures and a rainbow of colors to accent the interior. The inside of the restaurant now seats 148 patrons in classic white chairs with colorful adornments, reminiscent of the original shop.

Serendipity 3’s enhanced menu is the perfect blend of savory dishes to balance the indulgent dessert selections. Signature dishes such as “The One & Only Las Vegas Strip Steak Sandwich,” “Las Vegas Chicken Strips,” “All In Nachos” and “Deep Fried Oreos & Ice Cream” will remain as menu staples, while new additions add a twist to the classics, with unique ingredients and elevated presentation, all while keeping with the whimsical Serendipity 3 personality.

New and reimagined items include “Three Amigos Tacos,” chicken, beef or fish tacos accompanied with S3 signature garnishes and “Teenie Weenies,” a trio of Sabrett hot dog sliders, featuring one each of a Coney Island, Chicago and California style topped dog. The new seared salmon dish is vibrant and attractive, with fresh and crisp flavors composed of lavish cucumber laces, perfectly seared Atlantic salmon, complemented by an heirloom cherry tomato salad and a light horseradish dill cream sauce. The Fried Twinkie Sundae evokes nostalgic joy at first sight, drizzled in chocolate, butterscotch and marshmallow sauce, so be sure to save room for dessert!
   
Serendipity 3 is open Sunday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to midnight. For reservations please call 702.731.7373.


Season Finale Of Life Is A Beach Party At Hyde Bellagio On Sunday 4/27! Bikini's Galore!

Surf’s up on the Las Vegas Strip! Hyde Bellagio will throw a sun-kissed Life Is A Beach-themed XIV Vegas Sessions season finale Sunday, April 27 at 6 p.m.

The costume-encouraged bash invites bikini-clad babes and buff bros to don their flashiest shades for an epic night of revelry. When the sun sets over Bellagio’s famed fountains, the night will heat up as sand and surf transform Hyde into the sexiest waterfront property in Las Vegas. Guests should come prepared for the elements as the weather forecast predicts frequent champagne showers, storms of confetti and electrifying house music that will keep the party going all night.

The event marks XIV Vegas Sessions’ annual summer hiatus and celebrates the exhilarating second season which has been rocking the Las Vegas Strip with popular monthly parties since October 2013. Since 2012, Hyde Bellagio has reincarnated the notorious day-to-night party, which began as XIV Summer Sessions in Los Angeles, with Vegas-sized proportions. Awarded Vegas’ Top Ongoing Promotion of the Year by Nightclub & Bar Magazine, XIV’s themes vary, but neon is ubiquitous, signature champagne showers flow freely and crazy costumes are encouraged.

XIV fanatics longing for the uninhibited atmosphere and outrageous creativity of XIV Vegas Sessions can still get their fix this summer. Now a coast-to-coast phenomenon, the unmistakable energy of XIV lives on all summer long with XIV Summer Sessions in Los Angeles and XIV Miami Sessions at SLS South Beach.


Get Your Tix NOW! Blue Party At Mundo Coming Up On May 22, 2014!

Helping someone in our community find work is always in fashion.

That’s why Goodwill of Southern Nevada is proud to announce its inaugural The Blue Party, an evening of original runway fashion, art and live music under the stars outside Mundo Restaurant at the World Market Center in downtown Las Vegas on Thursday, May 22, 2014.  Doors open at 6 p.m.  

The Blue Party will showcase seven local up-and-coming local fashion designers who will premiere their one-of-a-kind-collections using reimagined and repurposed Goodwill merchandise during a live runway fashion show. 

Participating designers are:  Mitch Atkinson, Carlos Bruce, Maria Bruce, Tiffany M. Lewis, Aldo Mencatto, Wanda Merrit, and Glen Wright.  Each designer will also offer personalized fashion experiences during a special live auction.

After the runway show, guests are invited to stay for a complimentary After Party featuring live music by local artists Yvonne Silva, Silversage and Jesse Pino.  

The night will also include a silent auction featuring local artists’ reinterpretation of Goodwill merchandise and traditional items, as well as several vendor booths for fashionistas to shop.

The Blue Party is hosted by the Goodwill Ambassador Council and will include passed appetizers and select alcohol generously donated by Mundo – a Latin Chic Restaurant.  Sandee Madrid and Bojo Ackah of KLUC, 98.5FM will emcee the night’s events.

All proceeds raised at The Blue Party will benefit Goodwill’s mission of assisting people in Southern Nevada find employment, no matter circumstance or disability.  In 2013, Goodwill of Southern Nevada helped more than 2,000 people find employment at a variety of businesses.

“When you purchase an item at a Goodwill retail store or donate it to a Goodwill donation center, you are giving that item a second life,” said Steve Chartrand, President & CEO of Goodwill of Southern Nevada. “But you are also giving someone in our community a second chance because our stores fund Goodwill’s free job placement and training services.  The Blue Party is a true celebration of what Goodwill does.”

Tickets start at only $25, per person.  Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
