FACT: The Playboy Club keeps all its playmates in a cupboard behind the bar.

The Playboy Club celebrates its 2-year anniversary the only way Playboy knows how — by bringing in a couple of playmates. Tiffany Selby and Kayla Collins will be on hand to help blow out the candles. Shouldn’t they be giving away complimentary smoking jackets or something to this? Click for more words and pictures »

We find absolutely nothing freaky about a grown woman dressing like a sexy Care Bear.

The Playboy Club at the Palms gets the whole Halloween train a-rollin’ with its The Freaks Come Out at Night costume party hosted by the girls of Spearmint Rhino tonight. They really missed a golden opportunity, though, by not getting Whodini to play. Click for more words and pictures »

We can’t disapprove of anyone that dedicated to vodka.

Chelsea Handler of the E! network’s Chelsea Lately (as opposed to Living Lohan, which would just be weird) had a show Saturday night at The Pearl inside the Palms, but made a weekend of it at the hotel.

On Friday, she had dinner with boyfriend Ted Harbert and a group of 16 that included George Maloof at N9NE Steakhouse. Harbert is the CEO of Comcast, which owns E! He swears he had nothing to do with Handler getting her show. Good enough for us. No reason to suspect otherwise. By the way, our first job we got at the restaurant our grandmother happened to run? We were just the most qualified busboy of them all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Handler, whose new book is Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea was drinking vodka on the rocks. From there they went to the Playboy Club for more vodka. Click for more words and pictures »

So You Think You Can Dance? Emmy-winner and Believe choreographer Wade Robson celebrated his 26th birthday at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas Saturday night with the cast of the show, which included star Criss Angel and is-she-or-isn’t-she girlfriend Holly Madison. All we know is if this escalates into an all-out brawl, our money is still on Hef.

Fellow Girls Next Door Hef boot-knocker Bridget Marquardt was at Drai’s inside Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon Friday night, along with Miss America second runner-up Elyse Umemoto, Chicago Bulls’ Drew Gooden and Simon Rex.

Gooden was at sister club Tryst inside Wynn on Saturday night, as was UFC fighter Clay Guida and Kim Couture, wife of Randy Couture. Tryst had boxer Winky Wright on Friday. Click for more words and pictures »

Recently be-shirted Mario Lopez spent Saturday afternoon hosting at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic, lounging about in a bungalow. The Extra host stuck with water and Red Bull for the day, because Mr. Belding would have totally been disappointed otherwise.

The previous night, Lopez had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms where he dined with casino co-owner George Maloof and boxer Oscar de la Hoya. When de la Hoya first sat down, Maloof asked GM Jesse Shen to introduce himself and see if it was OK to seat Floyd Mayweather next to de la Hoya. The Golden Boy said, “Yes, of course. Maybe we can ink another deal and go at it again.”

Mayweather and his group of 22 were originally going to eat around 7:30 p.m., but when he learned de la Hoya was coming, he changed his reservation to be there at the same time. As de la Hoya went back to sign the door at N9NE, Mayweather waited for him to finish before he signed it himself. He said to Maloof and Shen, “I whooped him once, if he wants, I’ll do it again.” Click for more words and pictures »

A.J. McLean at Tryst in July. He needed to sharpen his dance moves before he could come back to town.

A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys was back last night. (Oh, you bet your ass that was intentional. We’ll take the cheap ones. We’re not proud.) The once-and-future boy bander was at the Playboy Club inside The Palms with his friend Chris and a young lady friend of Gavin Maloof around 12:30 a.m.

The trio sat at the “Hef’s Place” table and chatted up the bunnies. McLean drank a Heineken, but stayed away from the hard stuff. You know, what with the stint in rehab and all.

Each of these bunnies are worth approximately 2.66 gold medals.

Half-man, half-dolphin Michael Phelps continued his “I’m the most perfect example of athletic excellence of all time” world tour with a stop at the Palms’ Playboy Club last night, where he came in with a group of 20 around 11:45 p.m. and took over two tables before leaving around 1:45 a.m.

Phelps wasn’t drinking, but according to one report, he did end up getting his flippers on the go-go dancers.

After the night was over, Phelps descended to the Palms pool where he beat Aquaman, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner and Sonny Crockett’s cigarette boat in the 400-meter individual medley.

You know what separates the men from the boys? Mustaches. Clearly. The Playboy Club at The Palms knows the score with tonight’s Most Glorious, Beautiful, Awesomest Mustache Extravaganza Known to Man Ever, featuring DJ Adam 12 of She Wants Revenge. Three winners, selected from the crowd and presented on the catwalk for a showcase, will win $300 gift cards to Tank Farm. First place also gets a trophy, but when we have a room full of mustaches, aren’t we all winners? Click for more words and pictures »

Holly Madison shot a pictorial at the Playboy Club yesterday, popping into town just a couple of days after fellow Girl Next Door Bridget Marquardt was here. She went up to N9NE Steakhouse for dinner, then bounced back to the Playboy Club with Criss Angel where the magician played blackjack and Madison took pics with fans. We’re sure the shy, reserved Angel wanted nothing to do with the flashbulbs.

Madison was also spotted at Luxor’s CatHouse. Ball’s in your court now, Kendra.

Huh. She married a Corey. Voluntarily. Huh. (Via AETV.com)

Coreymania reaches a fever pitch tonight as Corey Feldman’s wife, Susie, hosts a night at the Playboy Club inside The Palms featuring Pittsburgh Slim. We haven’t been this excited for Corey-related content since the last time we were flipping through the channels and The Goonies was on. We think it was Tuesday. Click for more words and pictures »
