Monday Night Halloween Party at XS Nightclub had revelers going strong!

Monday night, XS Nightclub closed out the epic Halloween weekend with a “House of Horrors” themed bash to celebrate the frightful holiday and birthday of its Resident DJ, Afrojack. The jam packed evening of unparalleled talent began as Bobby Burns followed by Quintino took the stage and a pulsing music evaded the nightclub.

The man of the hour was escorted into the venue by cocktail waitresses dressed in gory ensembles and joined the exclusive table behind the stage surrounded by enormous video screens that projected one-of-a-kind video to the audience. Afrojack met up with R&B singer and longtime friend and collaborator, Omarion, who was sporting a throwback jean jacked and oversized sunglasses.  Also to be found within the group was blonde bombshell Holly Madison who was dressed as Disney’s, Princess Ariel. The Vegas starlet completed her look with a seashell encrust top and red streak throughout her hair that was pinned back with a starfish shell.

After headlining a blowout party on the eve of Halloween, deadmau5 could not resist returning to the venue for another night of mayhem. Tricks were up his sleeve as he conjured up multiple costumes throughout the evening including Indian feathers, a turtle shell, glowing mouse ears and even covered himself with camouflage.

Shortly after 1 a.m. the lights dimmed and music softened as the crowd erupted when a hooded DJ took the stage simultaneously turning up the base to reveal himself to thousands of partygoers. Hands flew up in the air as the crowd moved as one dancing to beats of Afrojack.

Towards the end of Afrojack’s set, Alesso joined him on stage as XS’ Managing Partner Jesse Waits presented a four-tier, black and gold shimmering cake to the Resident DJ and the crowd wished the sensation a happy birthday. A cloud of confetti feel from the ceiling as Alesso took over the decks and Afrojack joined industry friends backstage for a monumental birthday celebration.

The Halloween party continued into the wee hours of the morning as a mesmerized costume crowd would reminisce on the unforgettable talent they witness for years to come.

Epicurean Charitable Foundation Scholarship Recipients Prepare Favorite Holiday Recipes  

The scholarship recipients of the Epicurean Charitable Foundation of Las Vegas (ECF) bring the culinary spirit of the holiday season with their favorite Thanksgiving recipes.

A freshman at the Culinary Institute of America in New York City, Ciro Fodera loves to bake his specialty, pecan ginger pumpkin cookies. Before moving to the Big Apple to pursue his love and passion for the culinary industry, Fodera interned in Canicatti, Sicily, as a prep chef at La Torre Home Services.

Cheyenne Vallette, a sophomore at the University of Las Vegas, Nev., is majoring in culinary arts management. For a traditional Thanksgiving side dish, Vallette’s specialty recipe is the sweet potato soufflé made with marshmallows. With a genuine passion for food, Vallette hopes to own a pastry shop one day.

Pecan Ginger Pumpkin Cookies: Ingredients (3 dozen cookies)
1 cup pecan halves, divided
1 cup 100% bran cereal
1/4 cup light molasses
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
3/4 cup Powdered Sugar Icing (see recipe below)
3/4 cup candy corn pieces

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove a couple of the pecan halves; set aside. Finely chop remaining pecans; set aside. Mix cereal, molasses and egg until well blended; let stand 5 minutes. Mix flour, baking soda and spices in separate bowl; set aside.

Beat margarine and 3/4 cup of the sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add cereal mixture; mix well. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Add chopped pecans; mix well. Shape into 36 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter; roll in remaining 1/4 cup sugar until evenly coated. Place, 2 inches apart, on lightly greased baking sheets. Flatten the balls. Insert 1 whole pecan into top edge of dough round for the "pumpkin's stem."

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies feel set to the touch. Let stand 1 minute; remove to wire racks. Cool completely. Spread each cookie with 1 tsp. of the Powdered Sugar Icing. Decorate with candy corn, using about 3 pieces on each cookie. Let stand until icing is set.

Powdered Sugar Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
Mix sugar and milk until well blended.

Note: If a thinner consistency is desired, gradually stir in up to 1 Tbsp. of additional milk.

Sweet Potato Soufflé with Homemade Marshmallows: Ingredients
3 pounds sweet potatoes                                          
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups softened butter

1/2 cup self-rising flour                                                 
3 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon                                              
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Marshmallows (recipe follows) Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil the potatoes in water with the salt until tender. Drain the potatoes and cool to room temperature. Blend the potatoes with the remaining ingredients in a blender. Pour the blended mixture into a 9 by 13-inch casserole pan that has been greased with butter. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes until almost set and lightly browned. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees F. Top the soufflé with the marshmallows and then return to the oven. Continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes until the marshmallows are golden. Enjoy!
