Free Sunscreen Station Now Available At Wet 'n' Wild!

Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN) has teamed up with Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas for a community-focused partnership that encourages park guests to keep skin safety top-of-mind. 

The components of this “first of its kind” partnership include a colorful sunscreen kiosk upon entrance to Wet'n'Wild, offering complimentary SPF 30 sunscreen to visitors for the remainder of the park’s operating season. Additionally, the kiosk is adorned with skin safety tips for guests to keep in mind not only during their visit to the park, but in their daily lives. Park-wide audio messages also will play periodically throughout the day, reminding guests to apply sunscreen and offering other proactive tips. Two additional kiosks, located at the entrance to Red Rock Bay wave pool and Splash Island, will be installed in the coming weeks. 

The free sunscreen is a paraben-free, oxybenzone-free and waterproof blend. The broad-spectrum sunscreen fully protects skin against potentially harmful UV-A and UV-B rays, when applied and reapplied appropriately. The sunscreen kiosk and additional elements comprising the partnership were designed with all ages in mind and to urge park visitors to stay proactive with skin protection. 

“Many negative skin conditions are fully avoidable with a hands-on approach and preventative measures,” said James Kilber, executive director of CCCN. "This partnership is ideal as it promotes fun in the sun, but also encourages safe behavior and tips on preventing skin damage. We hope that park guests will take advantage of the awareness messaging and free sunscreen throughout the remainder of the season." 

Now, Wet‘n’Wild guests who simply forgot their sunscreen, or need to conveniently reapply without interrupting the fun, have cost-free options within the park. 

“Our partnership with Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada to provide free sunscreen and skin safety tips at the park is a great example of our mission to provide a fun, safe and memorable experience for our guests throughout the season,” said Takuya Ohki, general manager of Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas.

Check Out The Video Performance Art of Angel Delgado At The Amanda Harris Gallery

Performance art has been an important part of acclaimed Cuban contemporary artist residing in Las Vegas Angel Delgado, and on Thursday, July 10, from 6-9 p.m., the Amanda Harris Gallery of Contemporary Art will host a video presentation of select performances from his career.

As part of the event, Delgado will also discuss his inspiration and commitment to performance art with the Delgado’s “Constancy” exhibit opened last month at the Amanda Harris Gallery. Inspired by the months Delgado was imprisoned in Cuba for a controversial performance art piece in 1990, the works examine the unique materials available to prisoners with limited access to supplies. The pieces include carved soap blocks, drawings on handkerchiefs and paintings. Delgado’s impressive work is largely based on the limitations, restrictions, prohibitions and controls that are frequently imposed on human beings in society.

Delgado has shown his work internationally for over 15 years, including solo shows in Havana, Madrid, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Istanbul, and Pittsburgh.

Four decades after beginning its exemplary journey as one of the leading rock ‘n’ roll bands in the world, KISS continues to make waves with one of the loudest, most over-the-top, non-stop parties at The Joint.

Along with an incredible recording career, KISS received a long-overdue induction into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. In addition, KISS’ new two-disc anthology, KISS 40, was released this past May. KISS 40 features one track from each of the band’s studio and live albums as well as tracks from each of the original band member’s 1978 solo albums and compilation cuts.

“KISS Army, get ready! America’s most iconic band is coming to America’s most exciting city. Rock and Rock Hall of Famers KISS are bringing their show to Las Vegas for their first-ever residency. For 40 years, KISS has been putting on some of the most exciting shows in music and we finally got them where they should be – Las Vegas – at The Joint. We couldn’t be more excited to see what they’re gearing up for!” exclaimed Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking for AEG Live Las Vegas.

TAO Beach & Nightclub Welcomes Bachelorettes & Brandi G. & Wendy Williams!

Brandi & Chippendales

World's Largest Bachelorette Party

Wnedy Williams & Brandi

Saturday afternoon at TAO Beach, daytime talk show host Wendy Williams and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Brandi Glanville hosted the third annual World’s Largest Bachelorette Party, made pretty by Benefit Cosmetics. The two sizzled on the red carpet before heading in to the blowout bachelorette bash. Glanville took over a VIP cabana and immediately began swooning over the Benefit Cosmetics products there, grabbing a tube of the brand’s “They’re Real!” mascara and exclaiming “this is the best one! It really is the best.” Williams also took over a nearby VIP cabana and Glanville came over to wish Williams a “happy birthday.” While on her way back to her cabana, Glanville stopped multiple times to pose for photos with adoring and excited bride-to-be’s. The Chippendales brought their sinful schoolboy charm to the final fling affair and playfully posed for photos with Glanville and all of the brides. The bachelorettes came together in their WLBP grand cabana, overlooking the entire venue, with the afternoon’s two hosts and Williams was surprised with a cake while the packed dayclub sang her “happy birthday.” Williams took over the mic and greeted the crowd with her signature saying “how you doin’?” and welcomed everyone to the ultimate pre-wedding bash and congratulated them on their upcoming nuptials. Throughout the afternoon the ladies enjoyed XB Sweet Tempered Punch, a high quality premixed spin on the classic “Sex On the Beach” cocktail. Anti-hangover drink RESQWATER was on-hand to help make sure they could enjoy all the cocktails they pleased without any of the headache-filled misery of a hangover. Topshop, the fashion authority hailing from the United Kingdom, was also poolside to help the bachelorettes celebrate in style.

Later that evening, Williams and her group of friends, which included her husband of 16 years, Kevin Hunter, continued their day TAO. Williams hosted the private WLBP celebration inside TAO Nightclub’s Opium Room alongside Chippendales star Jaymes Vaughan. The duo led the group of bachelorettes through a laughter-filled evening with a wide array of bachelorette-themed contests, games and of course male revue entertainment. In-between activities the ladies were treated to makeovers from Benefit Cosmetics, signature appetizers from the TAO kitchen and giveaways from the Something Blue prize wheel, which included one grand prize honeymoon to any Sandals Resort. Williams then moved downstairs to TAO Asian Bistro to fuel up on signature dishes for her birthday celebration.

After dinner, the group took over a VIP skybox at TAO Nightclub to celebrate Williams’ 50th birthday. Shortly after she arrived, the TV personality was surprised with another custom birthday cake, which was presented to her by the Chippendales as well as TAO’s mirror man. Armed with bright pink glow sticks, Williams danced with her husband to the sounds of DJ Ross One and hung close to the railing of her skybox so she could overlook the entire party scene.

Also at TAO Nightclub, rapper Too $hort was spotted at a VIP table with friends and family.

Actor Josh Peck dined at LAVO Italian Restaurant on Saturday evening. Peck posted a photo to his Instagram and Twitter accounts of himself and his friend at the restaurant, posing with their Kobe Meatballs. The actor and a group of friends then made their way to Marquee Nightclub to celebrate a friend’s 21st birthday. Peck and the rest of the group raved about the venue and how much they especially loved Kaskade, who was manning the DJ decks and treating a sold-out crowd to the latest installment of his Summer Lovin’ residency.
