Dave Attell is one of the rare comics you need to see live instead of on a CD or on TV. Which is probably no great consolation for him when he’s trying to move DVDs, but Attell has an energy on stage that doesn’t quite come across when recorded. He’s rapid-fire, he never stops moving, and you get the sense that he knows exactly where he’s going to take you and he knows you’re not ready for it. It’s a dangerous show in the best way, and he’s at Treasure Island tonight at 9 p.m. And barring that, there’s always next year’s porn awards.

Gilley’s at Treasure Island opened up last night, bringing another combatant into the mechanical-bull-and-bikinis-and-chaps ring. And really, can you have too many contestants when it comes to bikinis and chaps? In fact, if we ever open a country bar, that’s what we’re going to call it, just so there’s no confusion. Of course, if we ever open a country bar, the soundtrack will also be a bunch of ’80s speed metal. We’re probably going to have a hard time attracting a country crowd that way. Anyway. If you missed the opening festivities, check out SpyOn for the full gallery.

Gilley’s returns bikini bull riding to the Strip at Treasure Island after a long, dark winter of the soul since the demolition of the New Frontier. We’re sure an appreciative Professional Bull Riders crowd will give it the baptism-by-chaps it so richly deserves. If you prefer your mechanical bull riding to come further south, Cadillac Ranch celebrates its one-year anniversary with the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar. All this cowboy stuff we’re going to have to go home and watch Rio Bravo while grilling an entire cow.

Wayne “The Shame of Alberta” Gretzky dropped in at Mystere inside Treasure Island last night. It was his 20th trip to the Cirque show, which means just 79 more trips to go until he hits his goal of matching his playing number.

The Great One (non-Jackie Gleason Division) spent some time backstage with his kids and the cast. It’s his daughter’s favorite Cirque show — she’s already seen it 10 times. So she has a few more to go to catch up to her dad. She also has about 1,900 more assists to go. Get to work, girl.

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron were at last night’s Mystere show inside Treasure Island. They went straight to the theater right off the plane from Los Angeles. Hudgens is in town to receive ShoWest’s Female Star of Tomorrow award. Last year, Efron captured Breakthrough Performer of the Year, which proves that ShoWest is way, way too into High School Musical. You just watch, they’re going to give Ashley Tisdale some kind of lifetime achievement award for theater owners.

Mist at Treasure Island ends its seven-year run tonight. The spot just off the casino floor will shut down for good at the end of Halloween night, but they’re marking the occasion with a closing party this evening. Ever since the Treasure Island went independent, they’ve been tinkering over there. Planned for first quarter 2011? Expanding the lagoon across the Boulevard so they can board the Venetian.

Kamal and Ahmed Givens — that’s Real and Chance to those of you, like us, woefully hooked on VH1 — were shopping for contestants in March at Mist inside Treasure Island. Tonight the lounge has a viewing party for the Season 2 premiere, because if there’s one thing Video Hits One knows it’s that no amount of flogging is ever enough for a horse that keeled over, closed its eyes and started the long march to RottingCarcassLand ages ago. (RottingCarcassLand is a subsidiary of Six Flags.) Castmembers Vegas, Aloha, Wiggly and Apple will be on hand, which probably means at least three of them get bounced in the first episode for, we don’t know, not being Stallionaire enough.

Confirming rumors that have been out for the last two weeks, Pure Management Group announced today that Sunday is the last day of Social House at Treasure Island while the company focuses on negotiations to move the sushi joint to a new location on the Strip.

During the interim, employees will be placed with other PMG venues, which include LAX, Pure, Company, Dick’s Last Resort, Venus Pool Club, Noir Bar and Audigier. The last venue was itself the subject of shutdown rumors earlier in the week, though a PMG rep confirms the club isn’t going anywhere per its lease agreement.

Audigier and Treasure Island are joined by an outside staircase, and celebs hosting at Audigier would routinely dine at Social House prior to their engagement. There’s been no word on how closing Social House will affect the nightclub. Easy traverse for restaurant patrons to Audigier’s outdoor balcony was a selling point of the club when it debuted a year ago this weekend.

PMG isn’t going to announce the new location until after negotiations are complete. Hey, wait! Fontainebleau has lots of free space, right?

After checking out O on Sunday, Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves hit up Treasure Island to take in Mystere last night. That’s two straight nights of Cirque. If he’s going to Love tonight, we’re going to start getting nervous, because that’ll mean it’s only a matter of time before Kate Hudson senses it, comes to town, and forces him to do a romcom where he’s a slacker clown and she’s a Montreal acrobat trying to make it in Vegas. And no one wants that. Not even Sarah Jessica Parker.

Jamie Foxx, who was in town for the Academy of Country Music Awards, brought his sister and daughter to see Mystere at Treasure Island on Sunday. Foxx has seen the show more than 10 times now. We’re pretty sure he hasn’t even see Ray that much. Going backstage to take pictures with the cast and crew made them late for dinner, but at this point, it’s probably part of Foxx’s Vegas ritual, like he can’t win on the money wheel if he doesn’t get his Mystere picture.
