RAIN
With much hype and pomp, Fallout: New Vegas will celebrate its launch this Saturday, October 16, 8pm at Rain at the Palms Casino Resort. To celebrate the launch, Vampire Weekend will be performing live at Rain Nightclub at the Palms Hotel and Casino as musical guests, along with DJ Zen Freeman. The event is open to the public and guests can can add themselves to the list here.
This role playing game is set in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, and has players pitted against enemy factions, a slave legion and an occasional monster or two. Fallout: New Vegas is a follow-up to the 2008 Game of the year, Fallout 3.
Remember that tear-jerking episode of Sex & the City where Smith shaved his head as a gesture to show his support of Samantha when she got cancer? That's kind of what's going on this weekend as part of the global fundraising effort by St. Baldrick's, an organization that's leading the fight against childhood cancer.
St. Baldrick's was founded only a decade ago by 17 people in Pasadena who didn't want to waste their St. Patrick's Day getting day drunk. Instead, they vowed to raise $17,000 on March 17. The event more than surpassed expectations, raising $104,000.
Las Vegas pulled a Titanic, sweeping this week's 2010 Nightclub & Bar Awards. Vegas' sinful sanctuaries took home all of the big wins and walked away with seven of the Top 10 sports and eleven of the Top 15!
There were more than 235 entries competing in fourteen categories at the 25th annual Awards sponsored by the magazine Nightclub & Bar. A panel of judges each had to select their top three choices from the lists which they submitted and were then relegated into the categories. There will be an official ceremony at Lavo in the Palazzo on March 5 to honor the winners.
