Wynn Las Vegas Opens - The most anticipated casino opening in the history of Las Vegas took place this week!

Wynn-ing On A Budget - Even regular Vegas visitors might not have ventured north of The Venetian in years. Older resort properties were bypassed to see all the new South Strip resorts built during the past decade.

However … The opening of Wynn Las Vegas squarely moves the focus of “hot” back to the north. If you want to stay close to Wynn Las Vegas but you aren’t on a Steve Wynn budget, refresh yourselves with these established favorites. The following lodging choices are all within a comfortable walk of the new Wynn resort:

Attention Monorail Riders: You can see Wynn Las Vegas from the monorail, but no stop is close. Get off at Harrah’s and enjoy the walk past The Venetian.

Show Notes - Anthony Cools The Uncensored Hypnotist has resurfaced at Paris Las Vegas, new dates are on sale for Barry Manilow (who is drawing great reviews), Forever Plaid is well worth the quick trip over to the Gold Coast (next to The Rio), and Hawaii’s Society of Seven is thriving with the addition of Lani Misalucha.

If you miss 80’s and 90’s rock/metal the trashy styles on sexy women, Erocktica is drawing one of the wildest crowds in town at The Rio. (Word is that the women in the crowd often get more wild than the women on stage)! On another adult note, Bite is the new erotic and sensual topless show at The Stratosphere.

Cousin Vinnie and the Ba-Da-Bing gang are inviting you to an evening that roars only with good fund, good music and an atmosphere that recaptures an era at the new Speakeasy Cabaret at Ba-Da-Bing at the legendary Stardust. And true to form, the gang’s all here. Cousin Vinnie and the flapper’s, dolls, goombas and gangsters.

Hey, what’s it a little ba-da-bang-bang between friends? We’re shootin’ from the “hip” and believe it when we tell you that this is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. You can dance to the sounds of Karin Denise and the Sin City Boyz Show Band, enjoy easy conversation with friends, meet cousin Vinnie and the Ba-Da-Bing gang, and enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two (no Prohibition here!). Cousin Vinnie says: “Be dere or else!” Click for Speakeasy Cabaret at Ba-da-Bing info.

Crazy Girls Showgirl Controversy Puts Riviera On The Map - After 18 years it’s a household name: Makes history as “LV’s Sexiest Topless Revue”

Norbert Aleman, creator and producer of “Crazy Girls,” said, “‘Crazy Girls’ and ‘La Cage’ are the backbone of the Riviera’s entertainment. I began at the Riviera with a 12-week engagement and here we are 18-20 years later. I was told that we would never survive and we faced controversies with the National Organization of Women, Las Vegas City Hall and a powerful state senator and we survived it all. Public opinion was very supportive and we are still here. During the early to mid-’90s ‘Crazy Girls’ was the only show of its type and now there are nine copies of the show in Las Vegas.”

Norbert continued, “When the show began in 1987 we had a predominately male audience and bachelor parties and now it’s Middle America with half couples some women and some men in small groups. That’s how the mores of America are changing. The show has gained wide acceptance. Now the taboo is the (gentleman’s) clubs while the ‘Crazy Girls’ appeals to most adults.”

It all began at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. At 18 years, “Crazy Girls” is the longest running topless cabaret in the history of Las Vegas!

Skintight’s Darryl Ross Is The Triple Threat of Vegas Adult Shows - He can sing, he can dance and he can act. He is Darryl Ross, a “triple-threat” entertainer, who since 2001 works the stage with the cast of Skintight at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

Starring in Skintight, alongside Shannon O’Keefe, Ross surely keeps this cast “skin-tight” by meshing his stunning looks with his off the charts octave range and his soulful and sensual jazz background.

As if excellence in the performance of the arts were not enough, Ross was also an accomplished wide receiver for the Dukes, of the James Madison University in Virginia. Ross has starred in the motion picture “Toy Soldiers,” performed in “A Chorus Line” and co-starred with Frank Gorshin in “New York, New York,” before finding a home with Greg Thompson’s Skintight in 2001.

Bearing his American pride, Ross has performed for the U.S. troops in South Korea, Japan, Iwo Jima and Pearl Harbor. Since his Las Vegas debut, Ross has also been featured in a number of Playboy revues, wrote and recorded albums and has performed alongside rap artists like Run DMC and Ludacris.

Ross performs nightly with the cast of Skintight in the Clint Holmes Theater at Harrah’s Las Vegas.
