We’ll bring all our shoes and our glasses with us. So we have them.

We’re still reeling from the sheer genius of this. What do you order before you get your steak? More. Steak. Truly, we’re living in the age of wonders.

Strip House Executive Chef John Schenk took a good hard look at his menu and decided the steak house could benefit from a little steaking up. And the Strip House beef jerky was born.

“It was cut off prime strips. We always have a lot of vein ends. We’re constantly looking for things to do with the vein ends,” Schenk said. “We went out to eat at Lotus of Siam.” Click for more words and pictures »

Wine with strippers on the front? We love it when our favorite things come together.

Is there anything more satisfying than washing down steak with a big healthy gulp of wine? Other than doing all that while simultaneously playing video games and getting a lap dance, we guess, but that starts to make things really complicated.

Strip House got together with winemaker Sashi Moorman of Evening Land Vineyards to come up with their Strip House Napa Valley Reserve, a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon to go with their steaks

“It’s a full-bodied Cab that they chose it to pair perfectly with the char on our steaks, which is kind of our signature,” Strip House GM Dave Gonzales said.

It’s a nice, bold red that lets the light through. It’s not as heavy as some Cabs — Gonzalez called it “juicy” — and it carries a nice bright touch. It has a little bit of spiciness to it that does a perfect job of drawing out the pepper in the Strip House beef jerky.

“There’s definitely a lot of flavor with the jerky, and you need a big wine to stand up with that,” he said.

It’s got to be kind of awesome to be a professional poker player when you’re a chick. Anyone who’s spent more than eight minutes in a poker room knows that any girl within 10 yards of a poker game completely derails the action. Have you ever played at the Wynn on a Friday night near the rail when girls are coming in to go to Tryst or XS? There are like two hands an hour and they have to keep calling for a fresh setup because the deuce of hearts got marked with drool. Basically, what we’re trying to say is if you’re a chick poker player and you flash a little cleave around, you can do alright for yourself. Look at Jennifer Tilly.

Vanessa Rousso, who’s top five in women’s all-time money winnings, may or may not use that strategy, we have no idea. But we’d totally do it if we were in her shoes. Regardless, she celebrated her 27th birthday Friday night at Tao, and it was sponsored by All In Magazine and GoDaddy. In retrospect, maybe the GoDaddy affiliation answers our question.

Over at sister club Lavo, David Copperfield and a ladyfriend were spotted having dinner. Hopefully, she knew enough not to go to his island. That’s just a friendly reminder fellas: Get accused of rape, still get dates. Assuming you can make doves appear from your pants. In the non-euphemistic way.

Revenge of the Nerds’ Ogre, Donald Gibb, had dinner at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood. NEEERRRRDS! The Palms saw former Raiders QB Jim Plunkett at N9NE Steakhouse dor dinner with George Maloof before heading up to the Playboy Club. Upstairs at Nove Italiano, Jon Lovitz and a friend ate dinner.

We’re in the same boat, dude. Everywhere we go broads are always lifting up our shirt and drawing on us in lipstick.

No, it wasn’t Tom Cruise. Co-star of the Rumer Willis/Audrina Patridge/Briana Evigan vehicle Sorority Row (clocking it at a solid 34 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), Julian Morris, was at Tao Beach yesterday with a few friends. We’re guessing there is a 100 percent chance Morris agreed to do that movie when he found out he’d be hanging around on set all day with Briana Evigan and Audrina Patrige. Who could blame him? You stand a better-than-average chance of meeting one of My Two Dads that way.

Meanwhile over at Planet Hollywood, Miss America Katie Stam was having dinner at Strip House.

Did he drive a talking Trans-Am? No. No he did not.

Piers Morgan — aka the America’s Got Talent Judge Who Isn’t David Hasselhoff — was at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort last night for dinner. Look, there’s just two kinds of people in this world. The Hoff, and people who aren’t The Hoff. Why are we even wasting our time talking about the latter?

Over at the Hard Rock, Scott Ian of Anthrax was shopping with wife Pearl at Love Jones. N9NE Steakhouse had former big-leaguer Frank Thomas flying solo for dinner.

Chuck Liddell was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this weekend where he celebrated at Strip House and The Playing Field Lounge inside Planet Hollywood Resort with Michael Strahan and Michael Clarke Duncan. What is that, a combined 1,400 pounds for those three dudes? How often does Liddell get to hang out where he’s the runt of the litter?

Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson joined the celebration, which included Strahan’s fiancee Nicole Murphy — ex-wife of Eddie Murphy. To be fair, Strahan is probably funnier these days. Jason Statham, meanwhile, went to see Peepshow and hang out with Holly Madison after the show.

Statham was also at Lavo inside The Venetian on Saturday night, celebrating a friend’s birthday. Tao, meanwhile, saw the official Tapout afterparty following UFC 100, where John dodson and Efrain Escudero were partying. Jon Fitch celebrated his win over Paulo Thiago at Lavo, drinking one glass of Champagne before switching to Macallan 12, rocks. So, he spends his days beating people up and his nights drinking straight Scotch. Well, we just found or new favorite MMA fighter.

Meanwhile, fighter Dan Henderson celebrated his win over Michael Bisping Sunday by hanging out at M Resort’s Daydream. It’s always nice to see the British defeated once again this close to Independence Day.

Teri Polo, of Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers took the time out of cavorting with Ben Stiller (delightfully awkward as always) to celebrate her 40th birthday in town. She started out Friday night with a showing of Believe at Luxor with her boyfriend and babydaddy along with two other couples.

She had dinner at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort Saturday night before hosting at Prive. Oh, if only Bobby DeNiro had been there to glower disapprovingly. Well. Soon enough. You can only churn out so many Righteous Kills before you slip back into the warm and welcoming arms of another cash-in sequel.

Sienna Miller, the Baroness in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie who nabbed a ShoWest Talent Award for Supporting Actress of the Year last night, was at a private event at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort along with Star Trek’s Chris Pine, who picked up Male Star of Tomorrow.

Justin Long, meanwhile of Die Hard 4: Maybe We Should Just Give Aging Action Stars a Break, was at Yellowtail inside Bellagio with his brother, but without Drew Barrymore.

Elizabeth Banks was at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort for dinner Friday night before heading over to Prive to celebrate her 35th birthday. Banks is the co-star of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, the Kevin Smith movie about a schlub improbably landing a hot chick and making an indie movie that seems absurd until you remember Smith, who makes indie movies, is a schlub who improbably landed a hot chick. Still, Zack and Miri has, hands-down, the most entertaining lightsaber dildo montage of any movie ever. That’s praise we don’t hand out lightly.

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz from Twilight hit up Zumanity inside New York-New York last night alsong with Brittany Snow for Greene’s 22nd birthday. They loaded up on chocolate-covered strawberries and bananas, with Greene and Snow getting Horny Margaritas. Apparently someone got our recipe of cheap tequila and Rohypnol to mix up a cool, refreshing pitcher of Horny Margaritas.

Greene did dinner at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood Resort as well. She has a birthday party tonight at Prive.
