EDC Electronic Artist Skillrex dedicates moment to Ryan Dunn! Over 85,000 in attendance!

Saturday night, electronic artist Skrillex played to a massive crowd at the Neon Garden stage at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. Just before ending his set in the early hours of the morning, Skrillex asked the fans to dedicate a moment of silence in memory of his friend Ryan Dunn. The daredevil, made famous by appearances in Jackass and MTV’s Viva La Bam, was tragically killed in a car accident last week. A hush came over the area normally filled with dubstep beats and hardwave tracks, while fans raised their cell phones to light up the area and show appreciation for the young star lost too soon.

Shaquille O'Neal was the biggest kid in the candy store yesterday afternoon as the NBA phenom celebrated his retirement and satisfied his sweet tooth at Sugar Factory  www.SugarFactory.com.  at Paris Las Vegas. O'Neal, who was accompanied by girlfriend, reality star Nicole Alexander, sampled sweets in Sugar Factory's retail store, picking up heaping handfuls of sour gummy candies, chocolate-covered gummy bears  and a few tank tops for Alexander. The doting duo loved Sugar Factory's signature Couture Pops and playfully posed for photos with fans.

Following their shopping excursion, O'Neal and Alexander grabbed a private booth at The Chocolate Lounge inside Sugar Factory American Brasserie and indulged in milk chocolate and cookies and cream  milkshakes, along with a plate full of handmade chocolate truffles.

Also spotted at the sweetest spot on the Strip was Indiana Pacers player, Tyler Hansbrough. The NBA player was enjoying Sugar Factory American Brasserie’s signature Red Velvet pancakes at the restaurant with a group of friends. He also stopped to look around the sprawling retail section and check out the selection of candy.

Nicole Scherzinger performs and plays in Las Vegas! All at Marquee Dayclub

Nicole Scherzinger celebrated her upcoming 33rd birthday with a weekend in Las Vegas.  The pop star and judge of the X-Factor started the Vegas vacation relaxing in the sun at Marquee Dayclub on Friday.

Friday night the solo artist and lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls dined at LAVO, enjoying signature dishes before heading up to the nightclub where she was surprised with birthday cupcakes.  Scherzinger danced on the banquette with glow sticks and a blinking ring, and being extremely gracious, she invited several club goers to join her for drinks.

The party continued Saturday afternoon as she returned to Marquee Dayclub, commanding a cabana and taking in the sounds of DJs Roger Sanchez and Dirty South with a surprise set by ATB.  She was treated to a cake designed by Gimme Some Sugar before hopping into the DJ booth with Roger Sanchez, jumping, dancing and whipping her hair as fans cheered.

The celebrating wrapped up Saturday night at TAO.  After walking the red carpet in a Jean Feres Couture dress, Scherzinger took time to greet 50 fans in the nightclub’s Opium room before sitting down to dinner under the watchful eye of TAO’s famed Buddha.  She made a special request for TAO’s popular Sea Bass dish, and made a game out of the restaurant’s Giant Fortune Cookie dessert, doling out the fortunes to each of her friends and having them read them aloud.

Upon arriving in the nightclub she grabbed light sticks which she waved around as she danced in her skybox overlooking the club as her friends from high school joined the party.  As a five tier cake with a microphone was presented to the pop star her friends, including members of the Lion King cast and the A Cappella group Mosaic, sang happy birthday.  As the song came to an end, Nicole grabbed the mic, shouting out, “What’s up Vegas?”.  DJ Vice promptly began to play her new single “Right There” featuring 50 Cent and she surprised the entire club with an impromptu performance.

The birthday girl looked stunning throughout the weekend with hair and make-up by Violet Hour Hair | Nails | Beauty at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
