LL Cool J...TAO and Grand Opening of TAO Beach!!

There must be something in the water because once again TAO’s Worship Thursday was the setting for an impromptu performance that rocked the house. LL Cool J, in town to celebrate his clothing collection available exclusively at Sears, walked into TAO amid a throng of screaming fans. Once settled at a VIP table in the moat section he graciously posed for photos with club goers as well as the Miss USA contestants from the next table over. The sounds of DJ Five and the vibe of the crowd inspired the artist to grab a microphone and jump up on the TAO catwalk. After asking the DJ if he happened to have any of his music on hand, he invited the Miss USA contestants to join him on the catwalk as he rocked the house. The entire club danced as LL Cool J performed three songs before returning to his table to enjoy the rest of the night at TAO.

Don't forget that today is the Grand Opening of TAO Beach with Mandy Moore! Overheard on the elevator yesterday as I was leaving The Venetian - "wow today we were sooo busy at Tao Beach and yesterday will be slammin!" So go check it out!

Annie Duke

The 3rd Annual Jennifer Harman Charity Poker Event red carpet took place this afternoon. While never having played poker it was heart warming to see how everyone showed their support and love for these animals that need a furever home! This all took place at The Venetian Poker room and I can hardly wait to see who wins!

Meanwhile I had the luck to be next to the crew from RAW VEGAS TV and I would like to send a shout out! They were very very nice and helpful with giving me hints on who was who. SO overheard...Annie is Joan Rivers really a mean person? Well the answer to that questions was read her tweets!! Joan Rivers tweets that is and the reference to taxes...hummm. Cannot wait to see who wins the Celebrity Apprentice and no Annie Duke would not say!

Poker Player Layne Flack when asked is poker was luck or skill, "laughing, whoever said that it is luck is lying. It is a game of skill!" If I did not want to include pictures of the celebrities and the poker players much more to report but I will do a follow up report on Monday, meanwhile here are some pictures from the event! Enjoy and remember that the NSPCA is Nevada's only no-kill shelter and they are not funded federally and depend on private donations.

Four paws up to Jennifer Harman, The Venetian, and all of the celebrities and poker players in attendance!

It's A Green Letter "Earth Week-end" at the Palms

N9NE Group and the Palms Casino Resort commemorate Earth Day with a series of green-conscious events during Earth Weekend Friday, April 17 – Sunday, April 19. N9NE Group sees Earth Weekend as the perfect opportunity to highlight the exciting progress in sustainability. N9NE Group makes environmental responsibility a top priority, always looking for new ways to reduce the company’s impact on the environment. The weekend will feature something for everyone, including premier poolside and nightlife entertainment with a green theme, fresh libations and exclusive film screenings, all focused on saving the planet while having fun.

Friday, April 17 At 11 a.m. N9NE Group and the RTC introduce Las Vegas’ first bus operating on used vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is provided by N9NE Steakhouse, inside the Palms Casino Resort. The bus will be on display outside the Palms Casino Resort. The Grease Bus is wrapped in green-themed artwork created by students from Becker Middle School and Mojave High School.

At noon N9NE Group will unveil Las Vegas’ first solar-powered DJ booth at Palms Pool & Bungalows. The DJ booth, built by Sustainable Waves, uses Sharp solar panels to capture power directly from the pool deck and Outback inverters to convert the sun’s energy into 110 volts of electricity to rock the pool. Palms Pool sponsor Miller Lite is also a sponsor of the solar-powered DJ booth. Miller’s banners for the DJ booth are printed on BIOflex, a completely biodegradable vinyl which, in landfill conditions (darkness, high heat, lack of oxygen and moisture), attracts microbes that breakdown the PVC turning it into sodium (salt) dust. The DJ booth is just one way N9NE Group and its partners are pioneering creative strategies to address the threat of global warming.

At 7 p.m. CineVegas presents an exclusive showing of the film, GASHOLE inside Brenden Theatres. GASHOLE traces the development and sinister demise of the 100-mpg fuel technology. Directors Jeremy Wagner and Scott D. Roberts will be available to answer any questions and discuss feedback following the showing. All profit from the film screening will benefit Conservation International. Tickets are available at the theater box office for each film and are priced at $10 for adults, $6.50 for children under the age of 12 and $9 for seniors and military with proper ID.

At 11 p.m. Rain Nightclub hosts the official green Friday after-party, featuring the sounds of DJ 5IVE. With multiple levels and environments comprising 25,000 square feet, extraordinary design and special effects, Rain Nightclub is a dynamic, multi-sensory destination that offers entertainment by international guest headlining performers, an electrifying dance club and a private event facility that is fully carbon neutral partly through the planting 2,054 trees in the Mendocino National Forest.
