Wanna See An Afternoon Show? Laughernoon Starring Adam London Is Magical & Funny!

Vegas! A city of glittering Neon and high rollers; yet there are some things that will always stay the same such as buffets and afternoon shows. This particular afternoon show took place on April 10^th, 2014 at The D in downtown Vegas.  It was a celebration, a milestone; it was Adam London’s 410^th performance.  VIP guests nibbled on ice crème sandwiches and cones and drank delicious iced drinks. All in anticipation of Mr. Adam London’s show and you know what he is a funny guy! From Utah Adam was able to play off that with the multiple wives and had the audience chuckling. 

The show is a mixture of comedy and magic and is suitable for all ages.  He pulls people from the audience and he reads minds and he is quite handy with a deck of cards. The showroom at The D is quite intimate and I was approximately 3 feet from the stage.   Seamless magic! Looked just like Harry Potter.

My favorite act was where he takes a dry erase board and draws a lady from the audience and then he sings “That Old Black Magic” and the lady on the dry erase board starts to sing and her mouth moves! Was pretty amazing! Then he erases her and she is gone!  Quite entertaining and Adam is charming and funny.

LAUGHTERNOON STARRING ADAM LONDON starts at 4 pm and you can purchase either regular or VIP seats tickets.thed.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=7

Mario Lopez Enjoys New Show Vegas Nocturne & Yes The Chihuahua Was Fine!

Friday, April 11, Mario Lopez enjoyed a full evening at Rose. Rabbit. Lie. inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.  He and five friends dined in the venue's Music Room before heading to a VIP box in the Ballroom to watch the 9:30 p.m. show of Vegas Nocturne. 

Mario was spontaneously brought on stage during two acts.  The first involved Piff the Magic Dragon and his magical performing Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles.  During the act, Mario successfully shot Mr. Piffles with a gun, blew Mr. Piffles out of a cannon and also found a way to resurrect him - all in a matter of minutes.  The second act included Mario and a massive ping pong ball fight with the Vegas Nocturne cast and audience.  Things got pretty weird. 

Following the show, Mario stepped into the secret Cloak Room and took a photo with some of the cast members before rounding up his friends to call it a night.

Superstar Singers Robin Thicke & Flo-Rida Open Up Famed Pool Party REHAB!

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas celebrated the debut of its double-dose of REHAB with music sensation Robin Thicke on Saturday, April 12 and award-winning artist Flo Rida on Sunday, April 13.

The unforgettable debauchery kicked off on Saturday as Thicke entered Las Vegas’ original dayclub through the sold-out crowd singing his hit song “Give It 2 U” before jumping on the poolside stage. The artist continued the show with “Blurred Lines” and “Magic” as fans cheered and sang along. Following his performance, Thicke thanked everyone for coming out saying, “I love you Hard Rock! Thank you so much REHAB! God bless you all! Let’s go!” Spotted in the crowd of revelers was comedian and actor Dave Chappelle.

On Sunday, Flo Rida kept the party going at REHAB after hosting at Body English Nightclub on Saturday evening where he filmed a music video for his new song “Rollercoaster” at both locations. The artist got low on the dayclub’s stage with Natalie La Rose while singing “Good Feeling,” “Wild Ones” and more. Taking partygoers by surprise, Flo Rida hopped on his bodyguard’s shoulders and walked through the swarm of guests while performing his hit song “Club Can’t Handle Me.” Throughout the afternoon, attendees cheered and danced as they partied within arm’s reach of the singer. Flo Rida even took a dip in the poolside tropical oasis to help cool off from the warm desert sun. Notable guests include professional football player Jameel McClain and “Pawn Stars” actor Austin “Chumlee” Russell.

This weekend also marked the launch of the property’s Pink Taco Brunch. The mega-hip Mexican cantina was packed with food enthusiasts who enjoyed the Sunday fiesta’s new menu items before heading to REHAB.

Over at Vinyl, metal band Sevendust performed an acoustic set on Saturday, where lead singer of In This Moment Maria Brink was seen with several of her band mates as well as Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch. The following evening Coachella act Bombay Bicycle Club rocked the stage to a group of admiring fans.
