Rain at The Palms brings out the big guns for Memorial Day Weekend. Chuck Liddell hosts tonight while DJ sets come courtesy of The Crystal Method, George Acosta, The Scumfrog and Beej.

It all goes down at 10 p.m. unless we tell you otherwise. Click for more words and pictures »

You might be getting ready to stuff your face full of burgers and dogs for the start of summer this Memorial Day weekend, but Rain at The Palms is looking ahead to a day the heat breaks, the kids finally go back to school and you’ll be using a three-day weekend as an excuse to, er, stuff your face full of burgers and dogs.
Starting Aug. 30, the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, Paul Oakenfold kicks off his residence at Rain, the first time he’s done a residence in America. You might remember Oakenfold as the man responsible for “Starry Eyed Surprise,” that song Shifty Shellshock from Crazy Town did vocals on. So at least the soundtrack for his next Dr. Drew-approved rehab appearance is set.
Oakenfold will spin at Rain through spring 2009 in what is being billed as a show that includes video, performance artists and props. We can only hope this means Carrot Top will be involved.
Snoop Dogg has canceled his appearance at Music is the Currency this Friday at Rain inside The Palms. There’s no word yet as to why, or if there will be any effort to reschedule in the future. Too Short will still perform a set.
This would mark the first time that we’re aware of that a noted pot smoker has flaked on something. We have the interns working overtime to confirm that fact.
He’s the DJ, but the rapper is hanging with Uncle Phil and Carlton.
DJ Jazzy Jeff hits the turntables tonight for Music is the Currency at Rain inside The Palms. Will Smith’s better half might drop a little “Parents Just Don’t Understand.” He could play some “Nightmare on My Street.” What we really hope, though, is that he does something with this, which is to high-top fades what the discovery of the ancient city of Troy was to archeology.
FACT: Snoop’s weed wranglers have to refill his mic-bong six times a show.
It was just announced today that in addition to Too Short doing a set at Music is the Currency inside Rain at The Palms, Snoop Dogg has been added to the bill. You can say what you want about Snoop’s collaborations with Dr. Dre, or his stance on marijuana (We think he likes it, right? Has that been established?), but we know you what you really want out of Snoop is a somber discussion with Larry King about the future of the Gangsta Party. Skip 30 seconds in to see Snoop teach Larry about life on the streets.

It’s true, the Biz never sleeps. To prove it, the most famous off-key warbling hip-hop guy to ever appear in a video in which he wore a Mozart wig, Biz Markie, hosts Music is the Currency tonight at Rain inside The Palms.
Doors are at 11 p.m. and the Biz goes on at 12:30 a.m. That’s a long time to wait to get your Biz fix, but if you’re anything like us, you’re already watching this pretty much nonstop anyway:
Rev Run at Rain inside The Palms Friday night brought more than two decades of mic-rockin’ experience and drew in a few celebrities along the way. Jamie Pressly was there with boyfriend DJ Eric Cubiche, along with Too Short and Mike Epps. Epps stepped in the DJ booth, and he and Too Short pulled girls on stage. At least until the girls realized he wasn’t Omar Epps.
Prior to hitting Rev Run’s show, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Cadillac Williams had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse with former SuperSonics forward Carlos Rogers. They met up with Ronnie Brown of the Miami Dolphins for Run’s show.
Sunday night saw Tricky help Suge Knight celebrate his birthday at Moon with about 25 other people, drinking Ketel One, Le Tourment Vert, Patron and Veuve champagne. Just because he was feeling so good about life, Suge didn’t dangle Vanilla Ice, who was at The Bank at Bellagio on Sunday, off a balcony. Members of the band Rev Theory showed up at the Playboy Club with an entourage so big, the took over the fireside lounge.
Raisin’ hell like a class when the lunchbell rings.
One of the three most important guys never to lace up a pair of adidas, Rev Run will appear tonight at The Palms’ Rain for a three-hour set with DJ Ruckus as part of its Music is the Currency series starting at 11 p.m.
Look, we love that The Beastie Boys are still making innovative music, and that Grandmaster Flash can still drop by from time to time and do DJ sets, but nothing — and we mean nothing — will ever top the old-school, awe-inspiring majesty that is “It’s Like That.”
We’re pretty sure the girls we grew up with next door were nothing like this.
Rain inside The Palms was all about variety Friday night. You had your choice of eye-catching diversions: A bondage model, the triple threat of three blondes with their own reality show, or 2,800 hard-charging partygoers, many of whom were Playboy hopefuls, as the Girls Next Door hosted a Bachelorette Bash for Stacy Burke.
Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt rolled into Rain all in black, no doubt to mourn another bondage girl being made an honest woman. It’s a story as old as time, really.
In-between rounds of photos with fans, the girls found time to get up on stage and sing along with Snoop tunes, leaving Hef alone in the Mansion complaining bitterly that back in his day, it would’ve been Ava Gardner up there crooning along with Dean Martin. OK, chances are Hef doesn’t have a whole lot to complain about, actually.
You know how half the bachelorette parties you see all do the same stupid stuff, with the same goofy penis-shaped props? Yeah. This will be nothing like that.
Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, better known as E!’s Girls Next Door, and even better known as those three broads Hef keeps around to ensure the blonde quotient at the Mansion never dips too low, will be throwing a Bachelorette Bash for bondage model Stacy Burke at Rain inside The Palms tomorrow night.
Women will be treated to free champagne until 1 a.m. Customary drunken dancing in a circle to “I Will Survive” is expected to start at 1:30 a.m.
