Holly celebrates Valentine's Day at Tryst! Pretty in Red!

Saturday night, blonde beauty Holly Madison hosted a special Valentine’s Day affair at Tryst Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas. She walked the red carpet in a red party dress with gold shimmer accents and red peep toe heels. Joined by her two best friends and Holly’s World co-stars, Josh Strickland and Angel Porrino, the group was very playful posing on the carpet much to the enjoyment of onlookers in line, waiting to get inside and closer to the reality stars.

Missing from the event was Holly’s current beau, Jack Barakat, guitarist in the rock band All Time Low. Holly confirmed on the carpet that she is still dating Jack, but that because of their very busy schedules, they opt to keep things very mellow and not put any pressure on each other. He is currently on the East Coast preparing for a European tour.

She glowed when she discussed her new hosting correspondent position with Extra, and even took over one on-camera interview to grill Josh on his ideal relationship.

Once inside, the PEEPSHOW entourage was seated at the best table in the club, directly on the dance floor looking out on the venue’s gorgeous 90 ft waterfall. Holly wasted no time to get the party started, as she jumped up on top of their banquette, dancing with her bffs, waving and posing for fans’  photo requests from below. The group was especially excited to hear Katy Perry’s “Firework” and Afrojack’s “Take Over Control”, screaming in excitement and singing along to every word with each other. She was also overjoyed to see the staff were all dressed in her honor, donning tube socks, short shorts, I Love Holly t-shirts, and even her signature candy necklaces from Sugar Factory. She tweeted a photo out to saying, “The cocktail girls at Tryst are all in Holly costumes!! So cute!”

The staff at Tryst presented Holly with an immaculate Valentine’s Day cake, a three tier creation by Freed’s Bakery in Las Vegas. Each layer was a giant stacked candy heart, with oversized Valentine’s Day candy and cherries topping it. After taking photos, Holly stuck her finger in it to lick the frosting and once Josh and Angel realized the cake was real, they ripped out a middle section to take a bite of the holiday delight.

Just for the occasion, Bacardi created a signature drink titled the “Holly Berry”, featuring Bacardi Torched Cherry rum, a perfect concoction for Valentine’s Day. The entourage raised their glasses to the burlesque star and cheers-ed to kicking off the holiday weekend at the Las Vegas hot spot. The concoction was a combination of Bacardi Torched Cherry, Chambord, splash of Sweet & Sour, and a splash of Sprite, and was served to guests as both a shot or martini.

Sean Kingston Parties in Vegas at Tryst!! 21 at Last!!

This past week-end superstar singer Sean Kingston reveled in his 21st birthday party at Tryst Nightclub with an entourage of friends and family. A much slimmer Kingston walked the carpet, telling reporters he is down 35 pounds thanks to an intense workout plan. Blinged out for the celebration, he was sporting an impeccable diamond-encrusted Bentley logo gold chain, a dazzling platinum diamond watch, a gold diamond bracelet, and multiple carat diamond earrings. He told reporters that he was very excited to finally party inside a Las Vegas nightclub but also kept much of the focus of the evening on his mother, Janice Turner, who beamed in pride next to her son.

The admired performer was escorted to an exclusive VIP table inside the Wynn Las Vegas hot spot, sitting raised over the dance floor overlooking his fans below. With champagne the drink of choice for the evening, Sean raised his glass to crowd and celebrated cheers with his closest friends. The Tryst staff presented Sean with an amazing four tier birthday cake by Freed’s Bakery of Las Vegas, covered in the Jamaican colors and adorned with its own bling, an edible oversized gold chain featuring Sean’s logo draped over and a gold 21 sitting atop the creation. DJ Spider led clubgoers in serenading the young star with “Happy Birthday” while Kingston smiled from ear to ear.

Shortly after, he gave the crowd a gift of their own, performing three of his hit songs on stage with DJ Spider, DJ Hype King and Andrew Chin on stage. He opened the performance with “Take You There” but stopped the music a few bars in to yell to the crowd, “I’m 21, Vegas!”, bringing an eruption of screams from onlookers and chants of “Sean Kingston” over and over. The dance floor was packed with anticipation of the performance, a sea of hands raised high above to the crowd. Kingston spoke of his love for Nicki Minaj before breaking into their collaboration “Letting Go (Dutty Love)”, flanked by the gorgeous Tryst go-go dancers and set in front of a breathtaking backdrop in the venue’s infamous 90 ft waterfall. He told the crowd “I just turned 21, and I feel so blessed. I have to give a shout out to Mama Kingston in VIP. I love you!” He closed the set with his hit song “Fire Burning” causing an explosion of excitement on the dance floor with girls trying to sit on their boyfriend’s shoulders for a better view and everyone inching closer to the stage for a closer glimpse.

Before finishing the intimate performance, Kingston told the audience “It’s not only my birthday… Someone else out there is celebrating too! There’s someone very special I want to bring to the stage.” Groups of female clubgoers celebrating their own birthday began to scream in hopes that he was speaking of them, but Sean asked his mother to come to the stage instead, as she will celebrate her birthday on Monday, Valentine’s Day. Janice glowed in delight before showing off her dance moves, grooving on the stage to the Waka Flocka Flames hit song “No Hands” with the entire group. The Tryst staff then brought out a second gold cake with red roses specially for his mother as he asked the crowd scream “Happy Birthday!” three times for her. They danced on stage for multiple songs before heading back to their VIP table and reveling in the celebration into the early hours of the morning.

At 5:30 am, Kingston sent a tweet out to his nearly one million followers saying, “WHAT AN AMAZING NITE!!!!!!!!..... THIS VEGAS PARTY WAS THE BEST EVER WOWOWOWOW.. I had too much fun.. We was swaggin tha whole night.. HEAVY!”

6th Annual 98.5 KLUC Love Affair Brings Legendary R&;B Acts to the Orleans Arena, February 12

Celebrated rhythm and blues, soul and funk acts from the 60s, 70s and 80s, will perform the hits as part of the 6th Annual 98.5 KLUC Love Affair at the Orleans Arena on Saturday, February 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Performing at the event this year are Rose Royce; The Delfonics; Deniece Williams; Bloodstone; The Persuaders; Tierra; Sly, Slick and Wicked; and Barbara Lewis.

Rose Royce is perhaps best known for their multiple hits from the Carwash soundtrack, including the title track which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B charts in 1976. Other hits associated with the multi-platinum selling group include “I’m Going Down,” “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore,” and “Wishing On A Star.”

Soul staple The Delfonics’ noted top-10 hits include “La-La (Means I Love You)” and “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time),” as well as “Hey! Love,” “Break Your Promise,” “Ready Or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide From Love),” and a cover of Burt Bacharach’s “Alfie.”

Deniece Williams began her career in music as a back up singer to Stevie Wonder, but quickly stepped into her own spotlight to become a multiple Grammy Award® winner and chart-topping singer. Williams is known for hits such as “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” from the Footloose soundtrack, “It’s Gonna Take A Miracle,” “Silly” and “Free,” along with several duets with Johnny Mathis, including the No. 1 smash, “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late.”

Known for blending rock, soul and gospel into their music stylings, Bloodstone reached success with top-10 hits “Natural High” and “That’s The Way We Make Our Music” in the 70s. In 1982, the group hit the R&B charts again with “We Go A Long Way Back” and “Go On And Cry.”

The Persuaders are best known for their 1971 hit song “Thin Line Between Love And Hate,” but are also known for songs they originated that became popular when other artists covered them, including “Some Guys Have All The Luck” (covered by Robert Palmer and Rod Stewart) and “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” (covered by Gladys Knight & The Pips).

Tierra, a popular Latin R&B group, reached success in 1980 with the hit song “Together” and is also known for songs “Gonna Find Her,” “Memories,” and “Zoot Suit Boogie.” The group has recorded regularly since their first release in 1973. Their latest CD, On The Right Track, was released in 2008.

Men of Motown Award recipients, Sly, Slick and Wicked hit the charts in 1970 with the song “Stay My Love” and is also recognized for “It’s Not Easy,” “Your Love Was Meant For Me” and “Sho Nuff.”

Songwriter and singer Barbara Lewis wrote and recorded the hit song “Hello Stranger” in 1963, followed up with many more hits into the 60s, including “Baby I’m Yours,” “Make Me Your Baby” and “Make Me Belong To You.”
