National Nerd Day at LAVO! Dustin Diamond Hosts and Great Pics!

Tuesday night Dustin Diamond, Screech from the TV series Saved By the Bell, hosted at LAVO in celebration of National Nerd Day. Diamond dined with friends at the Italian eatery before heading upstairs to the nightclub, which was filled with club goers decked out in their best nerd gear. He MC’d the contest, which awarded $1000 to the sexiest nerd.

Also spotted at LAVO was Cesar Millan. The Dog Whisperer dined on LAVO’s expansive Strip front terrace with a friend and then took over a VIP table in the nightclub where they danced all night while drinking Perrier Jouet Fleur Champagne and munching on strawberries.

Hot Stuff! Habanero Hot Wings!! Tacos & Tequila!

Tacos & Tequila (T&T) has introduced its newest menu item, a mouthwatering dish that is sure to bring on the heat. The habañero hot wings will tantalize the taste buds with a spicy blend of habañero peppers fused with tangy lime juice for a zesty new summer recipe, available for $10 throughout the summer at T&T.

“Habañeros are one of the spiciest peppers, so we added a few key ingredients to counterbalance the heat,” said Executive Chef Saul Ortiz. “The overall flavor is a zesty blend of tangy, spicy and sweet.”

Habañero Hot Wings recipe:

7 jumbo chicken wings (1 pound)

1 oz. habañero sauce

1 oz. buffalo sauce

1 oz. hot sauce

2 tbs. butter

1 oz. cotija cheese

2 oz. ranch dressing

1 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

Using a deep fryer set to 350 degrees, cook the chicken wings for 5 minutes. Transfer the wings to a pre-heated conventional oven and cook at 350 degrees for an additional 3 minutes, or until crispy. On a stovetop, combine sauces and butter in a pan and fuse together over low heat for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, combine sauce and wings and coat heavily.

In a separate bowl, muddle the cilantro and add ranch dressing, mixing evenly. Top wings with cotija cheese and serve with a side of creamy cilantro ranch.

Tacos & Tequila embodies the cool modernism of the new Mexico City while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and high-end Las Vegas panache. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark wood, leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons. Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch across the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.

The highly-stylized Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, high-energy vibe and flavorful menu is located at Luxor Hotel and Casino, open daily from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. The 8,000-square-foot venue embodies Mexican culture intermixed with rock-n-roll flair with a flavorful menu created for Drive This Entertainment! by the talents of world-renowned restaurateur and chef, Richard Sandoval.

Bikini's and Cosmo Magazine and CELEBS all together at Planet Hollywood!

Last night the third Annual Bikini Bash was held at the Planet Hollywood Pool! The first 1,000 girls to arrive were treated to loot and swag! Think free bikinis and gift bags with NIVEA products and back massages. Yes a good time for all! On hand to celebrate were Celebs...Mario Lopez who arrived and stopped and posed for fans on the red carpet. He arrived looking handsome and adorable and also signed copies of his new book "Extra Lean" which made perfect sense as the event was centered around feeling good and looking beautiful! Mario said of his book - "Diet's don't work and the book takes a well rounded approach to eating healthy. Embrace your food and follow the journey because if it tastes good that is half the battle! Everything in moderation." Makes perfect sense Mario! Lauren LO Bosworth was also on hand and she looked fabulous in her bikini! Be sure and look out for this new writer! In the works for LO...a new book, which when asked "I enjoy writing creatively!" Can't wait to read "LO Down!" Also on her plate - developing a new TV series! Way to go LO! Vegas DJ's Midi Mafia Bruce Waynne and Dirty Swift spun the latest tunes after they strolled down the carpet and posed for pics! Very charming and looking cool under the Vegas sun! Swimsuit designer Shay Todd also answered questions and when asked what inspires her "I do not follow the trends and my ideas come from everywhere including nature, different cultures. The swimsuit should suit the wearer and keeping it simple is best." Cosmopolitan Publisher Donna Kalajian Lagani was very excited to have Cosmopolitan so prominently displayed on the world famous Las Vegas Strip on The Planet Hollywood media boards! Great to actually meet on of my most FAVE Magazine's Publisher! Celsuis is the new energy drink which was on hand to promote their product. It tastes great and will help you achieve your desired diet results combined with eating right and working out. This drink has no carbs (YEAH!) and is sugar free! Celsuis helps burn calories with a combination of green tea and ginger. Plus you have your choice of carbonated or non-carbonated. Very refreshing and yes it did increase my energy level! I can see it being a part of a diet routine! Lisa took the Celsuis journey and lost an incredible 180 pounds and keeps the weight off with a well rounded diet and moderate exercise. Two surprises from the event - Holly Madison popped in for just moment. Carson Kressly stopped and chatted about the TV series "True Beauty" which is produced by Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks! It is all about beauty for both females and males. The inner beauty that is, not the outer beauty which is what Vegas SEEMS like it is about! So be prepared for some "Fun and a very naughty shoplifting thrill ride in Vegas!" Vanessa Minnillo also appears on this exciting sophomore series which will air starting next week on ABC!
