Dear God, The Hills is still going, huh? Well, another one of them is hosting a night at a Vegas club this evening as Audigier at Treasure Island brings in Heidi Montag to celebrate her birthday. Will she bring Spencer? Will they totally have another fight at Palazzo that was probably completely staged? Only time and the note-making script doctors at MTV can tell.

Tara Reid and friends are still hoping the Coen Brothers call about getting her in another movie.
After the kickoff of Christian Audigier’s When I Move You Move trade show yesterday, the designer conveniently had a nightclub of his own to retire to when the work was done. Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, working with Audigier on the Rock Fabulous line, put in a concert at the Treasure Island Pool.
He and Audigier then sat on the patio, while Nicky Hilton and Tara Reid sat inside. Hilton spent some time with Jeff Beacher, who we hope was sincerely pitching the fashion designer on a line of clothes for little people.

The “rock’n” part comes from the fact that they’re playing Slayer in the background.
With almost half the floor space of Christian Audigier the Nightclub at Treasure Island coming out on the porch, creating a signature cocktail that would be cool and refreshing was a must. That the nightclub delivers one that’s highly customizable is a nice bonus.
The Crystal Rock’n Lemonade, designed along with the rest of the signature menu by bartender Tony Rossi, ties in closely with Audigier. Crystal Rock is the line named for his daughter, while other drinks on the menu include the Smet, named for another Audigier line, and Sailor Jerry’s Mai Tai, named for the legendary tattoo artist.
The Lemonade uses a Grey Goose base with fresh squeezed lemons, rock candy syrup, limoncello and a splash of lemon-lime soda shaken and served in a Collins glass with a lemon twist garnish. Click for more words and pictures »

The only game that features customizable spiked boots you can turn pink. Bow to the majesty of rock.
The only thing that can make Rock Band better is whiskey. In fact, if they made a Whiskey Band, we’d be the first ones lining up outside GameStop at midnight to buy it. We think we could win the Keith Moon challenge pretty handily, but the John Bonham level would be tough. Regardless, tonight Mist at Treasure Island holds its Almost Famous Rock Band battle in conjunction with the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar, which is serving up frontier whiskey Bulleit Bourbon from 6 to 9 p.m. Not quite ready to rock out and pound bourbon? Wuss. Read on for your options. Events at 10 p.m. unless noted. Click for more words and pictures »

Friday night saw Audrina Patridge dine at Social House inside Treasure Island, sitting on the patio with friends for sushi. She stayed at TI for the night, checking out Mist later in the evening. Friday must have been the dry run, because she was back for more on Saturday before pulling hosting duties at Christian Audigier the Nightclub.
The Hills star signed autographs on the way in because apparently there are people out there who need a tiny piece of Audrina Patridge in their lives. She was joined by sister Casey and BMX-riding boyfriend Cory Bohan in the VIP section. We don’t mean he was riding a BMX bike at the time, as awesome as that would have been, just that he’s a pro rider.
So when Season 5 of The Hills features more dirt ramps and backflips, at least you’ll know why.

Audrina Patridge is hosting at Christian Audigier the Nightclub inside Treasure Island on Saturday night. So if you’ve missed the 6,000 other times the Hills star has been in town patrolling the club scene, now’s your chance to get a little taste of that high society greatness. But not literally. If you run up and try to lick Audrina, we’re not responsible. Though we will giggle like a schoolgirl. So you decide if it’s worth it to you. We think it is.

America’s sweetheart or America’s princess? YOU DECIDE!
Christian Audigier the Nightclub at Treasure Island took its turn among clubs passing around The Hills castmembers like a roofied-up Sig Delt sister during hazing night at the frat house. They brought in the big gun, Lauren Conrad, to host: Just in time to celebrate the season four premiere of The Hills and the fall launch of The Lauren Conrad Collection.
If we didn’t know any better, we’d suspect this was some sort of celebration fueled by marketing synergy. Also there was Carrot Top. We like to imagine that scenario played out like the nerdy kid trying to sit with the cheerleader at the lunch table. Then again, we imagine lots of things play out in extremely Breakfast Club-esque scenarios.

This is not the Jackson family, if that wasn’t clear.
Michael Jackson and his three children stopped in at Treasure Island Tuesday night for the 9:30 showing of Mystère.
The Jackson gang reportedly headed for their seats right after the show began, which normally would be irritating, but, come on, it’s Michael Jackson. Are you going to yell at the King of Pop for coming into a theater late? Didn’t think so.
