TRYST PUTS PEDAL TO METAL


Go ahead and write your own Pimp My … joke here. (Photo by Alex Loc Thieu)

Mad Mike of Pimp My Ride was at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas last night turing the Dub magazine expo, as part of the SEMA auto show festivities. Bernard Hopkins was feted at the party, wrestler Bill Goldberg turned up DJ Skribble spun the tunes. Tryst should’ve taken advantage of this and had Mad Mike wire video screens into the seat backs of all the booths, leading to the debut of Pimp My Club.

Meanwhile, Frankie Muniz was over at Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood Resort for dinner.

EXIT POLLING

Well, there you have it. Obama rode to victory on the crucial “bald dudes and chicks who look kind of like Kim Kardashian from the side” demographic.

BLUSH GETS GHOSTBUSTED


We think she’s supposed to be the aftermath of the Blues Brothers car chase.

Dan Akroyd was at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas for Mingle and Mayhem last night. It’s kind of awesome to be Dan Akroyd at a costume party, because he can just tell everyone he went as Joe Friday, and what are they going to say to him. Other than, you know, “Wow, you look just like him!”

You should be plenty warmed up by now with the early-week Halloween parties. Now the big guns are starting to come out. Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas kicks out $20,000 in prizes tonight for Hero-Ween, where the Joker-to-other-costume ratio is going to be set a precipitous 1:5. Hopefully, someone will be tasteless enough to go as Prescription Drugs Joker. Click for more words and pictures »

POKER PLAYERS ARE PRO HALLOWEEN


He said he’s going as Jesus. Touche. (Photo by Eric Ita | SpyOnVegas.com)

Poker pro Daniel Negreanu had dinner at Lavo inside Palazzo last night with a group of 10, where Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire and former Chargers standout Junior Seau also dined.

From there, Negreanu was off to Blush at Wynn Las Vegas for Trampoleen where he was joined by Chris Ferguson and Antonio Esfandiari. Seau also went across the street for the Halloween festivities.

It’s a well-known fact that poker players make their most money at Halloween, when it’s perfectly acceptable for them to wear masks at the table. No one ever can get a tell on Iron Man or Frankenstein. Hell, tired of being chased by mobs with pitchforks and torches, the real Frankenstein moved to Mississippi to become a riverboat gambler in the early 19th century. He retired a wealthy monster and went on to found Ole Miss in 1848.

AT LEAST THEY’RE ON THE SAME PAGE

Ohhhh, we get it. That’s a really great “Douchebags With Headbands” costume. Best one we’ve seen this year.

MICHELLE OBAMA RALLIES, HITS UP BLUSH


Only 105 weeks until the 2012 campaign season starts. (Photos by Scott Harrison | Retna)

Michelle Obama was at Doolittle Park last night pushing early voting to a crowd reported to be around 3,000. It’s the second time this week one of the Obamas has campaigned in Nevada, and we expect Snacks The Wonder Pooch Obama to make a campaign stop at the PetSmart in Ely sometime in the coming days.

After the rally, Obama was at Wynn Las Vegas’ Blush for a donor’s event along with Steve and Elaine Wynn. This is just like the time Nancy Regan was at The Bank shaking it to “Candy Shop.”

BLUSH FLUSH WITH CELEBS

Adrianne Curry is possibly the most gorgeous woman we’ve ever seen up close. Maybe it was the fact she was wearing a lace skirt. Maybe it was the fact that she got down in Playboy with her best friend. Maybe it was just because she was standing next to Peter Effing Brady, and even grandma Madonna would look decent next to Christopher Knight. The couple was at Blush inside Wynn Las Vegas Saturday night for the club’s one-year anniversary, along with Neil Patrick Harris in a child-star battle royale.

What was Knight’s secret to landing a 20-something, pot-smoking bisexual model? “There’s no secret,” Knight said diplomatically — to which Curry countered, “Be an asshole.”

Knight relented: “Be the biggest dick you can be, and the pretty ones will follow you.”

“That’s not true,” she said. “Be charismatic.” Charismatic. Asshole. Same difference. Click for more words and pictures »

EX-BOY BANDER HITS TRYST


Clearly, being in a boy band pays a lifetime of dividends. (Photos by Alex Loc Thieu)

Former *NSYNC singer Chris Kirkpatrick celebrated his 37th birthday with friends at both of Victor Drai’s clubs, Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas and Drai’s at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon. Kirkpatrick lost out on CMT’s Gone Country to Sebastian Bach, which has to be a little like getting beat in a foot race by Dennis Franz.
