Country Superstar Eric Church Takes The Stage At The Chelsea

Eric Church brought Southern charm to the mophie Stage inside The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas last night (Saturday, April 26).

Singer/ songwriter Caitlyn Smith warmed up the crowd before country superstar Eric Church took the stage. Church performed a stand-out set of hard-hitting, fan favorites such as “Creepin’,” "Homeboy" and “Drink In My Hand,” complete with attention-grabbing guitar licks. The artist continued his lively performance with "Hometown" and “Springsteen.” After addressing the audience and calling his evening at The Chelsea “one of the most special nights [he’s] ever had,” Church proceeded to tear up the set list, informing the crowd that he wasn't quite done playing yet.

Inspired by some of the world’s most iconic venues, The Chelsea is a 40,000 square-foot transformable space featuring remnant brick tiling, an eclectic collection of stage production props, a vintage lobby bar, private VIP opera boxes and a memorable grand staircase complete with a dramatic chandelier.

Upcoming shows at The Chelsea include: Childish Gambino (May 2); Bruno Mars (May 23 & 24); Chelsea Handler (June 13 & 14); Kraftwerk 3-D Concert (June 28); Ed Sheeran (Aug. 29 & 30) and Keith Urban (Aug. 31).

Vanderpump Rules Cast Parties At Hyde Bellagio In Vegas!

Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Jax Taylor, Carmen Dickman and Tom Schwartz

Tom & Jax 

Saturday night, the stars of Bravo TV’s hit reality series Vanderpump Rules partied the night away at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Jax Taylor and girlfriend Carmen Dickman, Tom Sandoval and girlfriend Ariana Madix, and Tom Schwartz enjoyed dinner at Sensi before heading to the chic nightspot. After posing for photos on the red carpet, the group made their way through the packed club to a plush VIP table where they were welcomed by a parade of Hyde’s sexy servers holding up signs that spelled out “V-A-N-D-E-R-P-U-M-P.”

The group enjoyed bottle service as they interacted with the crowd, stopping to chat and take photos with multiple fans. Clearly enjoying the atmosphere, the boys danced alongside Hyde’s life-size characters and reveled beneath showers of confetti. Taylor even posted a photo on Instagram of him kissing Dickman on the cheek with the caption, “Snowing in Vegas!!!”

The friends danced and partied at the fountain-side hot spot until the early morning hours.

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.

Christine Breckenridge of Riverside, Calif., became the 26^th female driver to win a USAC feature race when the HPD Midget Series visited the Bullring earlier this month. Breckenridge led the final 20 laps of the 30-lap main event to notch her first USAC feature victory.

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. Anderson won the season opener but Gafforini responded by winning both 35-lap feature races on April 12. Saturday’s Super Late Model main event is scheduled for 40 laps.

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.

 Aaron McMorran of Las Vegas has won two of the three NASCAR Bomber features this season and leads Don Sargent by seven points going into Saturday’s night’s 25-lap main.

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.

The Bullring is one of the best entertainment values in Southern Nevada with affordable ticket prices and family-friendly concession prices including $1 hot dogs, $1 Coca-Cola products and $2 Budweiser beer. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or in advance by visiting or calling the LVMS ticket office at (702) 644-4444 or online at www.lvms.com. Discounted tickets are available with an advance purchase.

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.
