If there’s one thing we always said about dresses, it’s that they have too much of a front part. Which is the technical term we learned in fashion school.

Afrojack swung by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Las Vegas’ James Clubhouse yesterday to give out some pointers for the youth DJ class. He didn’t mention that Step 1 was “Be Dutch.” We bet some of those kids are going to have a real problem with that part. Maybe they need to build some windmills at the clubhouse or something.

One more place to not be able to afford UFC tickets.

That new 20,000 seat MGM arena, between New York-New York and Monte Carlo is going to run $350 million to finish. Or roughly the cost of six front-row tickets to the next Floyd Mayweather fight.

AEG and MGM are going partners on the thing, which won’t break ground until summer of next year and won’t even open until spring 2016. Yankee Stadium was built in less than a year between 1922 and 1923. So this arena should, according to math, be twice as good as Yankee Stadium. Except for the part where it will never, ever be home to pro sports.

So, this thing is literally all about flowers, right?

We don’t know if you’ve heard anything about this yet, but there’s this festival called the Electric Daisy Carnival coming this weekend. It’s true! 1 Oak is giving away a trip for six (on a Speedway-bound chopper), with a table, to the industry host or hostess who brings the biggest crew. And will reward them by deeming most of them unfit for chopper duties. Click for more words and pictures »

Just your typical EDC Week crowd. (Photo by Erik Kabik)

There are, at last count, roughly four DJs for every man, woman, child and small dog in Las Vegas during Electric Daisy Carnival Week. With a glut of stage slots to be filled, not to mention the spinoff events at the clubs all week, it’s easy to see how a DJ without any kind of Insomniac-approved official billing could feel like a Dickensian orphan pressed up against the wrong side of a window pane on Christmas Day.

But the truth, say local spinners, is that the rising tide lifts all boats. If anything, there seem to be two basic approaches: To offer up a programming alternative with a focus on open format, or else to take a conventional open format space and throw in an EDM curveball.

“I don’t approach it any different. The spots I work at aren’t EDM-driven. My schedule doesn’t change at all,” says DJ Ikon. “The format doesn’t change. In fact, most of the clubs I spin at during EDC weekend try to spin at try to do hip-hop events because it’s so EDM-driven, for people who don’t want to go to EDC or hear EDM acts, they try to cater to those people.” Click for more words and pictures »

The one thing Electric Daisy Carnival was missing? (Other than pants, we mean.) Lifelong devotions of commitment. But fret not, 18-year-old about to make a huge mistake: Now you can get married at the festival.

Las Vegas Wedding Chapels will be holding weddings, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies run by traditional ministers and/or Elvis. (Wait, do they necessarily have to be two different people?)

If you want to make this thing legal, you have to come with your own marriage license (60 bucks, plus another five if you want to use a credit card). Otherwise, the commitment ceremonies (with a photog available to use your iPhone to take pictures) are free between 9:30 p.m. and 3 a.m.

If you don’t want to wait in line for that, you can spring for one of two wedding packages. For $99, you get a ceremony performed by an EDC minister, use of the Electric Daisy Bouquet, six ceremony photos, a certificate and the minister will handle legal filing. For a DVD, it’s $25 extra. The Electric Elvis Wedding is $179 and includes two songs from the King. Seems like money well spent, especially when you factor in that you won’t have to wait in line with the free ceremonies. Call Brian or Eileen at 1-800-574-4450 to make reservations. Unclear if Elvis will perform a hardstyle remix of “Love Me Tender” or not.

Say what?

Roller coasters: Try as you might, they just keep traveling through mostly horizontal paths. Well not anymore, thanks to the Polercoaster, an attraction coming potentially to the Tropicana that somehow has nothing to do with strippers.

The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing plans for the 650-foot observation tower/coaster with retail and dining space at the top. And hopefully a Club Polercoaster. Dear God, please give us a Club Polercoaster.

The website for the ride touts “Safe, secure, efficient operation” and “proven technologies.” Jesus, we’d hope so.

We can’t tell if this is a win for Kanye, or a win for professional Patrick Bateman doppleganger Scott Disick. But to promote future Best of 2013 list-topper Yeezus, Scott Disick filmed this American Psycho parody for future brother-in-law (or however that’s going to work) Kanye West. Better this than the hooker scene, we guess, but it really kind of takes all the fun out of nonstop American Psycho jokes when Disick is in on it. Although it is sort of delightful in Disick’s Judge Doom voice.

Three-piece Peck, y’all.

The Cosmo’s Dive-in Movies for tonight are an unabashed American classic, and also To Kill a Mockingbird. That’s right, Will Smith-and-Will Smith’s kid movie fans, you don’t have to go all the way to a theater to see After Earth on the off chance After Earth is still playing in any theaters. Instead, you can hit up The Pursuit of Happyness tonight. And while you’re there, stick around for one of the most beloved films based off one of the most beloved books in either American canon.

Disney can’t be happy about all this gambling.

The Jonas Brothers–Joe, Nick and That Other One–did entertainment duties at Sunday night’s Miss USA pageant, that Nick was co-hosting with Giuliana Rancic. But they were also spotted around the property filming a video for a track on their forthcoming fifth album. Joe was helming the affair, and was palling around with Wilmer Valderrama at Hakkasan that night. Which we guess technically increases the chances of a throwback, ’80s metal style video with Mila Kunis writhing around on the hood of a Jaguar. Though it seems, unfortunately, unlikely.
