Details have been scarce on Caesars Entertainment’s transformation of Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall into the Gansevoort. The company’s most recent SEC filings reveal, though, that aside from a 65,000-square foot rooftop night- and beachclub spearheaded by Victor Drai, the company also plans to add a second-floor restaurant.

Who’ll helm the kitchen? The buzz in the investor and foodie community is that it will be none other than Italian-American culinary personality Giada De Laurentiis. While Caesars Entertainment declined to comment on De Laurentiis’ possible acquisition, the move would make sense on the heels of the company’s successful partnership with Gordon Ramsay, and with star chefs like Masaharu Morimoto and Tom Colicchio set to bring their celeb cachet to competing properties.

The host of Everyday Italian and Giada at Home, De Laurentiis is one of the country’s most well-known chefs, but has yet to open a restaurant. Sounds like she’s bringing her signature baked mac-and-cheese cupcakes when the property opens late this year.

Commonwealth and The Act are teaming up tonight to channel the spirit (and possibly soup) of Andy Warhol. Jerome LOL spins, Absolute cocktails are served gratis from 9-10 p.m. and a rooftop performance kicks off at 11 p.m. You won’t have to get a silver bowl cut to get in, though. Soup optional.

Last night was the first preview night for Light–and tonight will see Eclipse get off the ground at Daylight with Axwell. Early word has been fairly dripping with praise. Though, as always, this sort of thing should be taken with a grain of salt given at least some of the people involved are employees.

What I witnessed at @thelightvegas last night was legendary.

Oh my body hurts, but was well worth it to work the playdate for @thelightvegas! I think we turned a few heads..or hundreds.

— MEGS (@Megan_Nicolson) May 22, 2013

Still, there’s a Vine video of the space, if’n you were considering trying to fight the hordes and get in here during its opening weekend:

Police consider Jose Canseco a person of interest in a sexual assault investigation Metro is conducting, based on tweets Canseco sent out. No charges have currently been filed, nor have any arrests been made.

Several of the original tweets have since been deleted, but Canseco did post this an hour ago:

Lets play truth or dare. I dare susie bell to tell the truth.

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) May 22, 2013

Canseco’s Twitter feed has long been a source of fascination for many, including Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers and sports site Deadspin, among others. In recent weeks, he’s been trying to goad Shaquille O’Neal into a celebrity boxing-style match and trying to lure investors to fund a Vegas-based reality show about his life.

He also noted last night he was flying to Dallas to play in a minor-league baseball game with his brother, Ozzie Canseco.

UPDATE: And now he’s added several more:

Wow thats funny i raped u then y did u have ur clothing off as soon as we left the club in my car.

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) May 22, 2013

Wow now people r threatening me not to tell the truth.whats the matter u cant handle the truth

— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) May 22, 2013

Truth or dare. I dare u to take a polygragh on national tv.i will take one

Not content to shell out for one defamation suit, Joe Francis is straight-up begging Steve Wynn to take his money. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter–during which he copped to being drunk–good-decision maker Francis told a member of the media with tape recorder rolling:

“He’s an asshole,” says Francis. “Steve Wynn is a monster, piece-of-shit asshole. He really is a piece of shit. By the way, I’m going to have his ass. He is a scoundrel.”

He leans back, momentarily drained. He hasn’t eaten anything in the several hours we have spent together and already has gone through a photo shoot as well as talks with a lawyer, who has been shuffling in and out of his office.

“I’m drunk,” he admits, before looking at one of two glasses in front of me.

You know, say what you want about Joe Francis, his questionable profession, his ability to pay back gambling debts and his absolute lack of judgement, but there is an ocean of difference between “monster, piece-of-shit asshole” and “scoundrel.” We like that he somehow made sure to cover all that ground.

The man who crafts elaborate pastries; the man who is ostensibly in charge of all cakes; the man who was bitten by a cake bug and granted the gift/curse of second sight, Buddy Vaalastro the Cake Boss, is opening a new restaurant at The Venetian.

Valastro is partnering with Honey Salt’s Elizabeth Blau and Kim Canteenwalla to take over the old First space to do Buddy V’s, an Italian joint that goes heavy on the pastry. Where we assume he’ll be baking a death cake.

DJ Dijital spins for Lavo’s All/Night Tuesday this evening. Why, during the course of the day when all of Twitter was freaking out about the dude who invented gifs saying (WRONG, WRONG, WRONGLY) it was pronounced “jif”, did no one ask Dijital? Seems he’s in a position to opine on matters of hard-g/soft-g.

Peepshow performer Sophia Monica, who’s in the ensemble and fills in for Coco from time to time, caught the spotlight in Saturday night’s show when boyfriend and babydaddy Etienne Carreira got down on one knee to propose during the show. Which we would’ve assumed, had we been there, was some creepy new monogamy-inspired striptease number. Look, we like to stay focused is all.

We think she know her answer, because she did a backflip in heels to celebrate. Which fortunately didn’t Miguel anyone in the front row.

The Jabbawockeez may have danced with Taylor Swift at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, but it was Jennifer Lopez who came out last night to show her support. Probably because Swift already went through a tearful breakup with the dance troupe. J-Lo was with boyfriend Casper Smart at the group’s new PRiSM show, where she got up with the rest of the audience during the dance-along portion. As far as divas go, that’s a downright populist approbation. There is zero chance of Beyonce ever dancing with us commoners.

It’s just good form that if you’re going to attend a Royal Wedding dressed like a giant baby, you accent that with a proper fascinator.
