WOOOOOOOOO! (Via WWE.com)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (OK, OK, we’ll stop now.) Ric Flair was spotted last night at N9NE Steakhouse inside The Palms wearing — oh God, this is almost too awesome to type — a T-shirt with an arrow pointing up and reading “Man,” and an arrow pointing down reading, “Legend.”
That’s how the Nature Boy does it. He was with a crew of 30 in the private dining room, and came back at the end of the night to sign Chef Barry Dakake’s door. We’re not saying at some point that a server who was a little slow with the bread was put in a figure-four leg-lock, but if it did happen, let’s just say this is why you don’t let a former champion’s rolls cool off, you know?

“Wango Tango” could’ve been tighter. (Photo by Erik Kabik. Additional photo by Scott Harrison)
Panic at the Disco played for the hometown crowd at The Pearl inside The Palms Friday night which, coupled with CineVegas made parking somewhat more challenging than solving a Rubik’s Cube by sense of smell.
Panic’s spiritual twin, Ted Nugent, meanwhile, took on House of Blues at Manadalay Bay on Saturday. They’re basically the same act, and though Panic’s cover of “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” was faithful to the original, it’s just not the same as seeing the man himself shoot a compound bow at his guitar right after “Stranglehold” ends.

No one ever has a Snide Blogger Bachelor Auction.
Tonight at Rain inside The Palms is your chance to buy yourself a little something. Namely, a firefighter from the Clark County Fire Department, Las Vegas Fire & Rescue, North Las Vegas Fire Department or Henderson Fire Department.
The Ninth Annual Fire & Rain Firefighter Bachelor Auction will raise money for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada and the Lion’s Burn Center at the University Medical Center tonight at 7:45 p.m. and will feature performances by Thunder From Down Under and The Scintas.
Just don’t complain when you win, ladies, about your car seats being covered in a thick layer of soot and Dalmation crap.

You’ve already told your boss your grandmother has died three times. One more can’t hurt.
While we would never bone out of work early ourselves (Hi, boss!), we wholeheartedly advocate it for others. We’re all sorts of double-standardy like that. To abet your slacker ways, The Palms Pool & Bungalows reopens Ditch Fridays today from noon to 6 p.m.
DJ Skribble is the new resident, who you’ll remember from The Grind if you were in junior high in the mid-’90s and were also a huge fan of The Real World.

Episode 1 of “Living Lohan” will feature Dina teach Ali to shoot tequila without training wheels.
Celebumom Dina Lohan and daughter Ali took in dinner at N9NE Steakhouse inside The Palms last night, enjoying filet mignon with a side of Grey Goose and cranberry.
The elder Lohan then switched scenes to the Playboy Club to dance before retiring to Moon. There she mixed it up, going to Ketel One and cranberry, before doing a round of sex on the beach shots with friends.
Let’s say you have a prominent daughter who’s been to rehab at age 21. Let’s say you’re filming a reality show in town with your younger daughter who has, as far as we know, not found the magnum of Cristal her older sister left hidden under the floorboards of the family homestead. Would you want to be spotted out in the clubs repeatedly? Oh, what the hell. We’d need a drink too after we’d had to hang around the set of Georgia Rule.
