Christian Audigier the Nightclub at Treasure Island has its grand opening tonight, marking the latest Strip destination for Pure Management Group. Nick Cannon comes in to guest DJ the opening at 10:30 p.m. — because no one is as emblematic of tattoo-influenced culture as the dude from All That. Audigier brings the influences of his fashion design into the club, which means he buys the rhinestone-encrusted skulls in bulk and passes the savings on to you. Click for more words and pictures »

Shannon Elizabeth gets things started early at Tao inside The Venetian tonight with an 8:30 p.m. cocktail party. That is, if she can pry herself away from the poker table long enough to swing on by. Everything wraps up by 11:30 p.m. and gives way to Chris Clouse and DJ Solomon for your move-busting pleasure.
It’s a three-day weekend on the eve of our favorite holiday to ever be celebrated with a double ration of rum. We, however, have done the math on inflation from 1778, and figure it’s going to be a lot more than a double ration for Independence Day 232. Start planning on how you’re going to honor Washington’s tradition. Click for more words and pictures »

Sylvester Stalllone, Robert Earl, Jason Statham and a group of 20 were at Revolution Lounge last night for their Red, White and Bikinis event. They went with the standards: Grey Goose, Patron and Dom Perignon Rose. We’re not sure where Carl Weathers was, but we assume he pretty much had to be around somewhere.
Poker player Phil Ivy and producer Irv Gotti were also there, although it’s unclear if either of them were wearing silk, American flag boxers.
Earlier, Stallone and Statham had dinner at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resorts. They — they must’ve brought something up to the room for Carl, right? Right?

Last night’s Summer Surprise Series show at LAX inside Luxor was Naughty by Nature. Suprise! You’ve got early ’90s hip-hop. Which is really the best surprise anyone can get. Bonus points if that surprise includes the Digital Underground. SpyOnVegas.com has the gallery.

Here at DailyFiasco, we’re more patriotic than George Washington crossing the Delaware to sign the Gettysburg Address in front of the flag at Iwo Jima while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” blares out of speakers carried by F-14 fighter jets.
That’s why we’re here to offer a selection of patriotic Fourth of July activities that even notorious curmudgeon Millard Filmore would approve of. Take that, Compromise of 1850.
CatHouse inside Luxor does Red, White & Va Va Voom, with a display of all-American lingerie and red, white and blue cotton candy at 10:30 p.m.
Torrid at Planet Hollywood’s Hawaiian Tropic Zone hosts Red, White & Boobs. Playboy model Tiffany Holliday hosts and DJ Roxanne Dawn spins, while one lucky lady will win a new rack courtesy of Dr. Pancholi from Cosmetic Surgery of Las Vegas.
Prive at Planet Hollywood Resort has a Fourth of July Party with Perez Hilton and guests Lady GaGa and Ultraviolet Sound.
Blush at Wynn Las Vegas has Dependence Day, with a fireworks show at midnight.
Tao Beach at The Venetian celebrates with DJ Samantha Ronson starting at 10 a.m.
McFadden’s inside the Rio has a hot-dog eating contest at 9 p.m. where contestants won’t be judged by speed or volume, but by seduction.
Rock the Block at the Fremont East area of downtown brings in Everlast and Taproot for a free show at 6 p.m.
Six Stations casinos, Red Rock, Green Valley, Texas Station, Fiesta Ranch, Sunset Station and Santa Fe Station, will shoot off fireworks to the tune of Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, ZZ Top, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Yes and John Mellencamp. Yes and James Brown? Are they trying to figure out if they can put people to sleep while fireworks go off?
Mist at Treasure Island and Diablo’s Cantina both celebrate for the entire weekend. Mist does Red, White and Booze starting at 2 p.m. Friday through Sunday,while Diablo’s celebrates later in the day, running from 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
And now we present to you the greatest patriotic song of them all. Yes, even more Americatastic than the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
This was much more successful than the Cool Sea Cucumber cocktail.
Your mom always wanted you to eat your vegetables. You just wanted to drink your booze. (You were such a precocious 5-year-old.) It’s about time someone stepped up to the plate with something other than a Bloody Mary to ensure that the twain shall meet.
The Cool Cucumber at Louis’s in Town Square starts with a few cucumber slices muddled in the bottom of a Collins glass. Ty Ku citrus liqueur is combined with Cruzan citrus rum and a bit of Midori melon liqueur for both sweetness and to give the drink a nice, green hue. Topped with lemon-lime soda and served on the rocks, the Cool Cucumber looks a little like what the Hulk would drink to cool down on a hot summer day.
Mixologist and Louis’s General Manager Robert Chachere said he was bored with vodka, and wanted to create something summery without relying on the old standby. Click for more words and pictures »
See, before, you were afraid to wear your light-up glasses in public because you didn’t know how to accessorize. Now you know: Pink tie, skunk-striped hair. It draws attention away from the dumbest eyewear since the electro-luminescent pince-nez craze swept the nation in Nineteen Aught Six.

Following yesterday’s poker tournament, the celebs scattered to the seven winds. Adam Sandler and a group of four wound up at N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms for dinner, before heading up to the Playboy Club. Sandler spent most of his time playing blackjack, and, we imagine, doing one of the three voices in his repertoire.
Charles Barkley was also at N9NE and ate with a friend at the bar, where he also asked the bartender if she’d marry him for a million bucks. For a million, we’d have guarded Dennis Rodman for Barkley.
Meanwhile, Don Cheadle, Annie Duke and Ben Affleck decamped for Sushi Roku at Caesars Palace, while Ray Romano ate with Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines at Tao inside The Venetian; and Jason Alexander was at Bellagio’s Fix. Michael Richards, meanwhile, still isn’t allowed out in public.

Yesterday’s Ante Up for Africa celebrity poker tournament at the Rio drew a formidable lineup of celebs ready to hit the felt. Among those in attendance were Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Don Cheadle, George Lopez, Adam Sandler, Ray Romano, Charles Barkley, Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Tilly, Jason Alexander, Scott Ian and Jerry Cantrell.
We hope to reunite this exact cast when Bravo finally picks up our pitch for Celebrity Dodgeball Cagematch. It’s going to be ratings gold.
In these times of global warming, energy concerns and environmental uncertainty, there’s only one man qualified to step in and get something done. There’s only one man who can salve the wounds of a troubled planet. There’s only one man who can rock hard enough to make the flowers bloom again and the rainforests grow back. That’s right: Saul Hudson.
Slash, people. Slash.
The top-hatted half of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ twin-guitar assault steps up Saturday at Red Rock Casino’s pool Saturday night to launch the Bottle Rock It poolside concert series that will run every Saturday through Sept. 27.
