Blondes did have more fun! Jenny McCarthy and Holly Madison at EDC!

Two blonde beauties stood out among the tens of thousands of attendees at this weekend’s Electric Daisy Carnival held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. Jenny McCarthy and Holly Madison both danced the night away at the three day event, known as North America’s largest electronic music festival. In the photos attached, the TV starlets were dressed for the occasion on Friday night as McCarthy sported a pink tutu-esque dress with flowers on the bust, while Madison tapped into her own flower child fashion with daisies worked into her locks.


The girls hung out on the posh VIP stage run by XS and Marquee nightclubs where they had the best views in the house for headlining performers Tiesto, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, overlooking a sea of more than 40,000 festival goers below at just one of the event’s six stages. McCarthy was spotted on both Friday and Sunday nights while Madison was a dedicated fan, attending each evening after her performances in PEEPSHOW.

World Acclaimed show The Lion King welcomes new cast members!

Disney’s THE LION KING at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino welcomes Phindile Mkhize, Dashaun Young and Samantha Ware to the cast of the Las Vegas production this summer. Pride Rock continues its “Circle of Life” with reprised roles from Mkhize as Rafiki and Young as Simba, while debuting Ware as the playful and determined lioness Nala.


South African native Mkhize takes the stage as Rafiki Monday, July 4 after touring with THE LION KING for eight years. Mkhize has traveled to Germany, Australia, Holland and Amsterdam performing and sharing her talents. Past credits include The Lion King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Sarafina 2, Mama, Maria, Maria and WozaMyFohloza.

A LION KING veteran, Young began his role as Simba in Las Vegas Thursday, June 23 following performances in London, Broadway and the National Tour. As a graduate of California State University, Fullerton, Young is no stranger to the West Coast. Young has performed with Hairspray, Legends, The Scottsboro Boys, Emerald Man, Aida, Hello, Dolly! and Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Broadway newcomer Ware debuted with THE LION KING Monday, June 13. Ware, 19, hails from Lincoln, Neb. where she was a student at Doane College. Her recent roles include Mimi in Rent and Velma in Chicago, both at City Stage in Union Station in Kansas City, Mo.

Mandalay Bay’s production of THE LION KING is virtually identical to the other companies seen around the globe and is staged with all of the same spectacular music, sets and costumes that have made it a worldwide phenomenon. The Las Vegas production features an international cast of performers who have won acclaim in productions of THE LION KING around the world including Broadway, Taipei, South Africa, London, Los Angeles, Australia, Toronto, Shanghai, Paris and Holland. Within nine weeks of its Las Vegas debut, Disney’s THE LION KING broke the Mandalay Bay box office record and continued to break its own record four more times within two years.

The smash hit has been seen by more than 55 million people in 18 different productions worldwide since its 1997 premiere. THE LION KING productions have grossed more than $4.3 billion to date and have cumulatively run 83 years. Newsweek calls the Tony® Award-winning sensation “a landmark event in entertainment" and The New York Times says, "You will gasp again and again at the visual majesty of the show…There is simply nothing else like it.”

Rockhouse brings you 4th of July fun and bikinis!

For most Americans 4th of July is associated with freedom.  For Rockhouse, it’s associated with freedom, bikinis and one wild weekend of independence antics.

Las Vegas’ only ultra-dive bar will celebrate America 1776-style with $4 regular shots, $4 draft beers and any lady in a red, white or blue bikini will receive their first drink for free.  Rockhouse will also feature two new specialty drinks; the “Sweet as Apple Pie” and “Give me Cotton Candy” cocktails guaranteed to make anyone feel like they were born in the U.S.A.

Additionally, Rockhouse will close the weekend out with an ultimate beer pong tournament.  Teams of two can buy in for $30 and the winning team will win the grand prize of $500.  Teams can register at www.TheRockhouseBar.com starting Thursday, June 9, with any major credit card.

Day or night, it’s always the right time to party at Rockhouse. Whether people watching on the rowdy Strip-side patio by day, or dancing on the bar with an 80-ounce guitar by night, the ultra-dive bar is one of Vegas’ best-kept secrets. Rockhouse will give partygoers the ultimate nightlife experience – minus the “VIP” attitude. With a knockout lineup of gorgeous bartenders, bottle service that won’t break the bank, a daiquiri bar and casual dress code, Rockhouse is definite must-visit hotspot for locals and tourists alike.

Blending a local dive bar with the glamour of Sin City’s party scene at a convenient center Strip location, Rockhouse is the top party destination on the Strip. Las Vegas’ only ultra-dive bar features top-notch lighting and sound with the best DJs in Las Vegas blending upbeat rock, hip-hop and dance. With beautiful bartenders pouring drinks from the bar tops, playing in the giant bird cage and dangling from tire swings suspended from the ceiling, Rockhouse is the spot where the party never stops.   Rockhouse is located on Las Vegas Blvd. in front of Imperial Palace, directly across from Caesars Palace in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.  The daiquiri and main bar open daily at 10 a.m. and the adjacent nightclub is open from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly.
