In these times of global warming, energy concerns and environmental uncertainty, there’s only one man qualified to step in and get something done. There’s only one man who can salve the wounds of a troubled planet. There’s only one man who can rock hard enough to make the flowers bloom again and the rainforests grow back. That’s right: Saul Hudson.
Slash, people. Slash.
The top-hatted half of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ twin-guitar assault steps up Saturday at Red Rock Casino’s pool Saturday night to launch the Bottle Rock It poolside concert series that will run every Saturday through Sept. 27. Along with the show is an organic wine tasting event to benefit The Springs Preserve. Slash and booze. It’s like they’re custom tailoring events just for us.
Tickets are $30 at the door, and the wine tasting is another $20, but, for a limited time, if you act right now, the first 10 e-mailers to tips-at-dailyfiasco.com will get their very own specially numbered collector’s edition entrance into the event! Don’t wait! We guarantee that tickets will run out sometime before Chinese Democracy is released. Click for more words and pictures »

According to KTNV, emergency crews responded to Red Rock Casino when an odor-emitting pillowcase was left in the east parking garage which caused five workers to become sick.
Your more-than-likely not poisoned editor arrived at the casino for a 7:45 p.m. showing of The Incredible Hulk (because that’s how we roll), unaware of any the ongoing shenanigans, and was somewhat surprised to see police directing traffic out of the west garage around 10 p.m., with fire trucks stationed along the nearest entrance.
The lobby of the movie theater, however, was packed; and the casino was never shut down. As of this writing, I don’t feel close to death, in an altered state, in any pain, fever, sweat, state of disarray, moderately uncomfortable, short of breath, itchy of eye or in the throes of the diabetes. Perhaps a little sleepy. Likely, terrorists, wide-eyed cultists or super-villains are not to blame. In fact, according to the report, police believe the pillowcase was filled with drugs.

What better way for a hip-hop artist who hasn’t dropped an album in four years to make his grand return than having a huge event in Las Vegas? Nelly — who you know for his ode to in-club disrobing, “Hot in Herre,” our favorite “Air Force Ones,” and nursery rhymes with “E.I.” — is back on the scene with his new album Brass Knuckles.
In order to come back on the scene with a bang, Nelly and Universal Records arranged a private weekend of festivities for the artist, the media and two of his biggest fans at the Red Rock Casino.
Things kicked off with a private bowling session at the Red Rock Lanes on Friday night where he was joined by host Danielle Demsky and the crew of Extra. On Saturday, Nelly invited the media over to listen to his upcoming album. Wouldn’t you know it? This album features yet another ode to sneakers called “Step On My J’s (Jordans)!” Click for more words and pictures »
Kanye West brings his Glow in the Dark Tour with N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco to the pool area at Red Rock Casino tonight at 7:30 p.m. in a show we’re sure George Bush hates. In fact, let’s be sure. Kanye, will George Bush be at Red Rock tonight?
