Fat Tuesday Celebration!

Revelers Will Rejoice Over Open Bar 

Mardi Gras is arriving fast and PBR Rock Bar & Grill is on board to make sure the Fat Tuesday celebration is loud, rowdy and fun on Tuesday, March 8.  

Beads will be everywhere as PBR Rock Bar adorns guests with beaded necklaces as they enter the country-rock bar inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Open seven days a week from 9 a.m. until the early morning hours, PBR Rock Bar & Grill offers guests hearty, American comfort food and barbeque around the clock. Beautiful babes and bad ass bull riders are dared to attempt to defy gravity on PBR Rock Bar & Grill’s daunting, hydraulic mechanical bull. 

Located at the center of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, PBR Rock Bar & Grill’s expansive; 3,000-square-foot patio gives patrons a front-row seat to all of the action.

Chateau Nightclub & Gardens at Paris Las Vegas celebrated an over-the-top grand opening party on the Las Vegas Strip last night with a surprise performance by very special guest, Drake.

Chateau exploded with excitement when Drake entered the DJ booth and shocked revelers when he hit the turntables to spin a dance mix for the crowd. He then took the mic and sang "Up All Night," and mid-performance, walked over to the VIP area in a balcony overlooking the nightclub and where he sang a mash-up of his most popular hits including "Over" and "Miss Me." He went back to the DJ booth to close out his set, as the entire club had cameras flashing for the up-close-and-personal performance.

Before the show, Drake was overheard telling reporters that the night would be memorable, that he was excited to open the Strip's hottest new nightclub and promised to bring an energy like Vegas has never seen. It was clear to those in attendance that he didn't disappoint.

DJ Samantha Ronson kicked off her residency with an 80's and 90's mix that had all the crowd dancing, and Havana Brown, the featured DJ from Britney Spears' Circus tour, took over the turntables after Drake's performance. Nick Cannon, who kicked off Chateau's preview party on Friday, returned to the DJ booth Saturday for a second set.

Reggie Bush from the New Orleans Saints was also at Chateau last night, sharing bottles of vodka with a large group of friends in celebration of his 26th birthday. Also at Chateau were television and film director/producer Brett Ratner, the San Diego Chargers' Stephen Cooper and Shaun Phillips as well as Ndamukong Suh of the Detriot Lions.

Walking the red carpet last night were Drake, Wilmer Valderrama, Ronson, Angel Porrino and Brown.

 CSI: The Experience to Host Spring Blood Drive in Partnership with United Blood Services on March 26 at MGM

All Donors Receive Free Admission to CSI: The Experience

Did you know that more than 250 donors are needed every day to meet the needs of hospital patients throughout Southern Nevada? As part of an incentive to encourage communities to donate and make a positive difference, CSI: The Experience is partnering with United Blood Services to host a blood drive Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at MGM Grand.  All donors will receive a complimentary ticket to check out the intriguing and hands-on exhibit, CSI: The Experience between March 26 and April 9, 2011.

“We hope that this partnership will help encourage the community to donate,” says Jeff Pluth, General Manager of CSI: The Experience. “In return, donors will be given an opportunity to play the role of crime scene investigator as they crack the case in our fascinating and interactive exhibit.”

According to United Blood Services, over 200 pints of blood must be collected from donors each day to meet patient needs in Las Vegas alone.

Las Vegas Blood Collection Statistics:

·         The national average for blood collection is 5%; Las Vegas average is 2.5%

    * United Blood Services is the only blood collection organization in Las Vegas and serves more than 21 hospitals in Southern Nevada and Northern Arizona

    * Less than 2% of the Las Vegas population gives blood on a regular basis, although it is estimated that 72% are eligible to donate

    * Most donors can give up to six times a year, but 65% of existing donors give only once a year

Based on the hit CBS show, CSI: The Experience displays true-to-life mysteries inviting guests to crack the case in a thrilling and engaging environment. Through hands-on activities and using real equipment, patrons are given the tools to gather the evidence, investigate the scene and solve the crime.  Spanning 12,000 square feet and featuring thousands of hand-made props, CSI: The Experience places guests in the role of crime scene investigator as they solve one of three intriguing crime scenes.

The Palazzo brings you a burst of Spring! Butterflies and Vibrant Decor!

The Palazzo Las Vegas Celebrates the Arrival of the Spring Season with Vibrant Butterfly Décor

The Palazzo Las Vegas will welcome warmer weather with colorful butterfly inspired décor throughout the resort.

Bursting with bright colors and distinctive butterfly designs, guests will enjoy a charming spring atmosphere during their next visit to The Palazzo.  Bright hyacinths, tulip willows, cherry blossoms, forsythia topiaries and 16-foot Amstel King Ficus trees will line the atrium waterfall while 15-foot Japanese plum blossoms and 5-foot tulips complement the lobby gardens.

An intricately designed, animated butterfly with a 22-foot wingspan will top off the décor.  The butterfly will softly flap its wings and gently blink while perched amidst the ground fountains and blooming spring topiaries.  The signature butterfly took three months of planning and a team of 12 designers, seamstresses, welders and engineers to create.

The spring décor will be on display in The Palazzo Waterfall Atrium and Lobby daily beginning Mar. 7 2011 and will remain a must-see attraction through the end of May.
