LMFAO PLAYS TOUR GUIDE

Sky Blu and Red Foo, the normal-haired and super puffy-haired halves of LMFAO, respectively, are all up in the Palms tonight, taking contest winners to dinner at Nove and then to play blackjack before headlining Moon. The Satellite Bar has Damien Jay.

The electro duo scored an indie hit with “I’m in Miami, Bitch.” So naturally, the first thing they had to do was deliver an “I’m in Las Vegas, Bitch” remix. We’re holding out for “I’m in Schenectady, Bitch.”

MRAZ, ALL-STAR TEAM AT PALMS


Acoustic shenanigans can support a massive entourage, apparently. (Photo by Scott Harrison | Retna. Additional photos courtesy)

Before his concert at The Pearl Saturday, singer Jason Mraz stopped by Moon at The Palms where he turned up with a group of about 25 people Friday night. They started with a dance floor table before splitting up and getting a second table outside on the patio. Phillies slugger Ryan Howard was at Moon with two ladies and a dude, while free agent Jason Giambi also roamed the club.

Howard and Giambi were just two of the ballplayers at the Palms on Friday. They both ate at N9NE Steakhouse, which also saw Shawn Chacon, Mike Piazza and NL Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum dine. Joe Rogan, here for UFC 91, was there too. Piazza tossed him an extra Silver Slugger award just to make him feel like he was part of the crowd. Meanwhile, Dan Uggla of the Marlins, Dontrelle Willis of the Tigers and Scott Olsen of the Nationals all turned up at both Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas and Drai’s inside Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall on Saturday night.

Rogan and Giambi also turned up at Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Giambi, sporting a T-shirt for TheDirty, co-owns the club. They were joined by UFC head Dana White and singer Everlast. No word on whether Everlast brought everyone down with depressing songs about poverty.

SEMA DRAWING CAR LOVERS


Too Short with one of the Fly Girls circa 1992.

Last night at the Palms, Moon saw rapper Too Short hang with BMX rider Rick Thorne; two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves at a table with six friends; and Braun Racing owner Todd Braun sharing a table with driver Denny Hamlin and more than 20 friends who stayed until 3:30 a.m. before going back to their sky villa. The SEMA convention is currently taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which explains the collection of gearheads. The auto equipment show isn’t open to the public, so if you needed one more spinner to complete your set, you’re out of luck until Pep Boys stocks up.

Dining at N9NE Steakhouse was angry slugger Gary Sheffield, who ate with a group of 10. Sheffield once admitted to deliberately tanking a plays when he was unhappy in Milwaukee to show his displeasure, which is the kind of selfish passive-aggressive shenanigan we can get behind.

GIRLS NEXT DOOR GET INTO SEASON


Holly is dressed as one of the Baywatch stars. You know, Hasselhoff.

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt hosted Trick ‘em and Treat ‘em at Moon inside the Palms last night, dressed in their Halloween best. Madison donned Pam Anderson’s Baywatch swimsuit while Marquardt was some kind of … evil clown. With a tutu. Or something. We’ve been assured she was Skull Candy Rainbow Brite, but we’ll be damned if we don’t know an evil clown when we see one.

Also hanging out was Criss Angel, who turned up around the same time Madison did. The girls, along with Sara Underwood and a crew of about 15 were a differnet table from Angel, who was with 10 members of the Believe cast. Both parties, though, arrived around 12:15 a.m. and left at 4 a.m. Angel really should’ve done Madison a solid and complemented her costume by going as Yasmine Bleeth.

1028TUE: THE ROUNDUP


This is exactly why Hef waited for them to leave the Mansion instead of forcing them out.

Moon inside The Palms brings in Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison for J-Roc’s Trick ‘em and Treat ‘em Halloween party. See, you’d already know about this if you had perused our massive Halloween events preview. Holly even spent the day at Amp Salon getting her hair ready. The current, or former, or whatever they technically are now Girls Next Door keep the Halloween festivities rolling at the Palms after Playboy Club started it all off on Sunday. At this rate, shell-shocked bouncers will be wearing Hamburgler and Greatest American Hero costumes well into the Christmas season, and we, for one, couldn’t be more excited at the thought.

PHELPS BACK IN BUSINESS

Clearly, Micheal Phelps is sick of all that water, because he was back in the desert this weekend, soaking in all our sweet, sweet moisture-free air.

The Olympian returned to the Palms, scene of his butt-grabbing glory in September, where he hit up Moon Friday from midnight until around 3 a.m.

On Sunday night, Phelps was over at Wynn Las Vegas’ Tryst, which is at least lagoon-side, where he hung out with friends.

Newly emancipated Holly Madison was over at Lavo inside Palazzo Sunday night.

BUSCH RACES FROM POKER TO MOON


Kurt Busch, ladies. Ladies, Kurt Busch.

Fresh off hanging in there with the hustlers and card sharps at his charity poker tournament, Kurt Busch headed to Moon inside the Palms with a group of eight to hang out until around 2 a.m. The group did the usual vodka and champagne, but also went in for Kamikaze shots.

Also at Moon last night were MVP, Chris Jericho, Matt Hardy, Chavo Gerardo, Carlito and several WWE Divas among the group of 60 WWE wrestlers Raw workers spread over two tables. No steel folding chairs were harmed in the evening’s partying.

MARY CAREY HEADS TO MOON


We think someone let a little air out of the left one.

Celebrity Rehab eye-candy, erstwhile ballerina and one-time gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey stopped in at Moon inside the Palms last night where she partied from midnight until around 2:15 a.m. drinking vodka/Red Bulls and doing shots.

My God. What would Jeff Conway say?

TOO SHORT ROAMS PALMS


Room 101 owner Matt Booth, Too Short and photo bomber.

Too Short banged out a quick five-song set at Ghostbar inside the Palms last night as part of a Room 101 MAGIC tie-in, then made his way to Moon where his crew inflated from seven to 17, drawing in Trech of Naughty by Nature.

We’re going to go ahead and guess that in the Good Hip-Hop vs. Wack Hip-Hop war, Trech ain’t on Soulja Boy’s side. Nonetheless, Soulja came into Moon, did his set — and left because he’s underage. The crowd included regulars Zab Judah and Computer of Adventures in Hollyhood.

Earlier, Bobby Brown had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse. No, he doesn’t keep all his meals to crack flambe.

Meanwhile, over at Yellowtail inside Bellagio, Justin Long — the Mac guy who plays opposite vastly underrated PC guy John Hodgman and former Drew Barrymore beau — had dinner with nary a lady in sight.

Finally, Christian Audigier, still in town for his When I Move, You Move, saw Cher at Caesar’s Palace. Expect next year’s line to involve sequined headgear.

BACH REMEMBERS YOU


Ain’t your business if he’s got monkeys on his back. (Via SebastianBach.com

Sebastian Bach and a group of seven kicked it at Ghostbar inside The Palms yesterday in advance of tonight’s show at The Pearl along with Dokken, Poison and Rob DeLuca. Sebastian Bach Fun Fact: He has a tattoo on his right arm that reads “Youth Gone Wild.” This is because he never played by the rules and he never really cared.

Also at The Palms last night was Bridget Marquardt who got to Moon around 2 a.m. with a group of four, expertly planning the details of hiding pirate booty.
