Sexy siren Audrina Patridge returned to Las Vegas to host a posh party at WET REPUBLIC at MGM Grand this afternoon. The brunette beauty escaped the Hollywood Hills for some Vegas thrills with seven of her closes friends. The MTV reality hottie strutted her way into VIP wearing a chic L*Space black cover up before showcasing her impeccable beach body in a revealing bikini made by the same designer.
Audrina addressed the partygoers from the DJ booth and welcomed everyone to the ultimate pool party for a truly lavish celebration. DJ Crooked worked his magic on the turntables as he spun heart-pumping beats all afternoon long. He also taught Audrina a few lessons on the turntables as he let her take control of the music for a few minutes. With Audrina at the helm she chose to start her playlist off with a little bit of house music before remixing it with LMAFO’s “Shots” featuring Lil Jon. Audrina then took the crowd on a musical journey as she played Danzel’s “Put Your Hand’s Up In the Air” and Aerosmith’s “Janie Has a Gun”. Audrina was overheard talking with DJ Crooked saying, “I want to learn how to become a DJ!”
After partying in the DJ booth Audrina went back to her exclusive bungalow with her friends where she instigated a water gun battle. Though the NCAA Final Four basketball game was on in the background, Audrina and her friends were preoccupied with sneak attacks. At first Audrina was ambushed by her friends who dowsed her with water, but that didn’t stop her from being the life of the party!! Seeking revenge, she hid behind the curtains before surprising one of the unsuspecting Angel Music Group VIP host and drenching him with a bucket full of ice water. Audrina took no mercy as she proved no one was safe in the line of fire from her water gun and playful antics. At the end of the day everyone got wet!!
After enjoying the fun in the sun, later this evening Audrina and her gal pals will enjoy Cirque du Soleil’s KA and then head over to Craft Steak for a delectable dinner.

Frank Sinatra Jr. and His Big Band Perform in Sinatra Sings Sinatra at the Suncoast Showroom April 9 - 11
Premiere vocalist Frank Sinatra Jr. and his 20-piece big band conducted by Terry Woodson will pay tribute to his legendary father and entertainment icon Frank Sinatra by performing his treasured hits in Sinatra Sings Sinatra at the Suncoast Showroom, April 9, 10 and 11.
An inherited honor, Sinatra Jr. performs the songs that his late father sang during his stellar 50-year career, many of which the younger Sinatra witnessed first hand. The show includes such Sinatra classics as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “One For My Baby,” “Luck Be A Lady” and “Strangers In The Night.”
In the 1980s, backed by a 17-piece orchestra, Sinatra Jr. opened in downtown Las Vegas and reintroduced the lush big band sound, sparking renewed interest in live music. In the decade that followed, he expanded his band to include 20 musicians and played the lounge at Desert Inn, marking the first time in 20 years that a big band had appeared in a lounge on the famed Las Vegas Strip. By then, he had also joined his father’s staff as musical director and conductor, helping to choose the music and conduct the orchestra whenever his father was on stage.
Sinatra Jr. conducted for his father at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and went on to perform his own show to sell-out audiences at Tavern on the Green and later, Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. His 1996 release of “As I Remember It,” a tribute to Frank Sinatra’s talents and the composers and arrangers, who defined the Sinatra legend, climbed the charts and earned critical acclaim along the way. In his tour that followed, Sinatra Jr. used a 44-piece orchestra and won respect from fans and critics.
“When I was a boy, my father would often bring me to Las Vegas. I saw all the stars perform, and late at night, there would always be a name band playing in a lounge,” Sinatra Jr. recalled. “I remember listening to Harry James, Count Basie and many other famous bands. It was quite an education. I always try to recapture the spirit of those late night sessions in my own show.”
Tickets are now available starting from $29.95, plus tax. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.636.7075 or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
