Well, well, well, you just can’t tell

It’s our one hard and fast rule in life: You can never have too many opportunities to hear “My Michelle.” Tonight, Steven Adler brings his eponymous Adler’s Appetite to Wasted Space. It is, coincidentally, your chance to see Chip Z’Nuff, of Enuff Z’Nuff fame, on stage. We know you’re a closet “New Thing” fan. Click for more words and pictures »

Spiritual heir of “Smooth Operator.”

Wow, with the baldness and the shades and the checkered neckwear, he really looks like a junior Cee-Lo, doesn’t he? Anyway, Miguel Jontel was at Eve inside Crystals last night to lay down the jazzy “All I Want is You” along with a, if you watch the video, way-into-it bass player. He sounds kind of like a male Sade. We’re not sure anyone would want to be described as “the male Sade,” but there it is.

DJ Tiesto is joining the ranks of Vegas residents come 2011. The Dutch DJ — Tijs Michiel Verwest to his friends — currently has tour dates booked up through Dec. 5. No venue has been announced yet for the residency, but he’ll be part of a clutch of high-profile jocks who have committed to Vegas in the last year-plus like Kaskade, Paul Oakenfold and Z-Trip.

Like Tupac, it’s full of California love.

Summer comes, and summer goes in a flurry of Labor Day. What they can never take from our summer, however, is our ice cream. Because if we have to steal a Good Humor truck and Cannonball Run across the country in an outlaw chase while we polish off the last of what’s in the freezer, we will. More than damn near any of the frozen novelties — except for maybe the Bomb Pop and Bubble O’Bill, the Creamsicle has left its indelible mark on summer.

Naturally, it needs to be in booze form.

N9NE Steakhouse and Nove Italiano at the Palms are bringing out the California Creamsicle for Labor Day weekend, inspired by the citrus sellers of Southern Cali. Click for more words and pictures »

Never forget.

Hot on the heels of the rumored Madonna deal comes more speculation out of the delightful scamps in the United Kingdom that Bon Jovi has been offered a “multi-million pound residency by a top Las Vegas Hotel.” Wait, wait, wait. Is someone developing a Jersey-themed casino that we don’t know about? Click for more words and pictures »

The devil apparently got bored in Georgia.

Nevada State Grandmaster Fiddle Champion Johnny Potash is in at The Stratosphere’s American Superstars as hard-fiddlin’ Charlie Daniels, while their Tim McGraw, Chad Givens, is out. Organizers copped to more changes coming for the show. The rumor as it stands right now has those changes being delivered via telephone, if you know what we mean.

Get uncomfortably close to Miguel.

“All I Want is You” singer Miguel Jontel comes into Eve at Crystals to do his thing, while Foursquare/Gowalla-esque check-in game that incorporates leveling up, Whrrl, offers the chance for four revelers to upgrade to VIP and meat Jontel. It’s like World of Warcraft for people that hate orcs, and also love hip-hop and R&B, we guess? Click for more words and pictures »

It was the blowjob punniest seafood contest of the year at First Food & Bar’s Second Annual Shuck & Swallow, with the team from Mastro’s Ocean Club knocking back 117 oysters oysters in 10 minutes. Other oyster-gobbling hopefuls were from B&B Ristorante, Carnevino, Dos Caminos, Mon Ami Gabi and RM Seafood while 107.5 FM’s Dave and Mahoney judged the action. Money raised went to Three Square, which is raising dough during Restaurant Week right now.

Say what you want about NASA, but we like this new direction the space program is taking.
