In This Issue:Paris and Nicky Hilton prepare for another wild Vegas weekend. Andre Agassi serves up aces with his Grand Slam for Children fundraiser at MGM. The beauties and cuties from Hooters get wet at Lake Mead. Robin helps you plan your weekend with his Royal Rundown.
It's another consecutive weekend of double-trouble -- and long hour duty for yours truly -- when sultry sexy sisters, Paris & Nicky Hilton return to Vegas for yet another 48-hours of partying, and Paris’s most recent leading man, the tremendously tattooed former blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is coming with them! Tonight, 'That 70’s Show' star Wilmer Valderama will host the grand opening of the Social House hip-hot sushi-sake-socializing spot at the TI. Jaimie Pressley’s beau DJ Eric Cubichi will do the live DJ honors and it’ll be interesting to see if his blonde-haired actress fiancee flies in for the trip so we can confirm her recent pregnancy rumors!!!!! That party then moves downstairs for the 2nd Anniversary celebration of the Tangerine nightclub. Meantime, Travis will put sticks to skin at PURE, so you can bet that Paris will be there in a drumbeat, whoops sorry, heartbeat, at some point of the night. The couple became fast friends recently after first meeting at the nightspot and have since beenseen in LA and NY getting closerthanthis!!
Paris Hilton, Travis Barker and NIcky Hilton are ready for a wild Vegas weekend.
Then, 24-hours later, on Saturday night, it’s the 23rd birthday celebration for Nicky Hilton, Chick’s fashion goddess with members of the Hilton family and her celebrity friends on hand for the blowout birthday cake and champagne corks-a-poppin.’ All of them will be shuttling in from the Palms, where Hugh Hefner and George Maloof have invited them for the 2-day opening parties for the new Playboy Club, which itself will be stacked to the ceiling with celebs. (Click here for our full foto tour and Wednesday Luxe Life coverage) George and Hef will pull the switch exactly at 7pm to illuminate the red/pink Playboy logo atop the new Fantasy tower and expect the bunnies to deal the first cards on the Playboy casino lounge at 10pm. Is this wild out-of-control party scene just deja vu or did I just do this last weekend. (You’d better click here to see Paris’ visit just 7-days ago to our naughty nightclub circuit)
ANDRE’S GRAND SLAM
Andre Agassi will be doing it for the kids this weekend, during his 11th annual charity event at MGM.
For the 11th anniversary of his Grand Slam for Children Charity, tennis giant Andre Agassi has won comedienne Ellen Degeneres, Counting Crows, Sarah McLachlan, legendary rocker Phil Collins and John Mayer with Tears for Fears to headline the show lineup at tomorrow's concert in MGM Grand. Erika Avila, an 18-year-old Vegas resident has been selected by musical director David Foster as the amateur winner of a contest to open the benefit. My friend, bam-chef Emeril Lagasse and gorgeous Anna Kournikova will be there too, but Andre promises even more surprise guests. He will also unveil commemorative artwork by artist Jim Dine at the College Preparatory Academy from 5pm onwards tonight. Andre’s 10 previous events have raised $52 million for his charity with support from 85,000 fans.
CIRQUE’S CHARITY
Cirque du Soleil has created a unique Exhibition at the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum and will feature some of the photos at tonight’s 'First Friday.' The exhibition has more than 20 dynamic photographs displaying moments captured at social circus workshops from around the world-some include children here in Vegas. At tonight’s First Friday Cirque du Soleil celebrates the 1st Anniversary of its Las Vegas Centennial mural entitled 'Humble Beginnings.' Cirque will also divulge the application process for its cultural grants that will support both visual and performing arts in our local communities. “At Cirque we believe that young people’s greatest resource is their ability to invent, create and conceive,” said founder Guy Laliberte. Cirque du Soleil focuses on helping youth at risk, especially those living on the streets.

Legendary
lady of song -- and scandals -- Liza Minelli, who
won her
first Tony award at just age 19, will perform her cabaret songs at the
Luxor next week, from Thursday
Oct 12 through Sun Oct 14. … Tickets go on sale tomorrow for KISS
frontman Paul
Stanley’s solo concert at the Rain nightclub in the Palms on
Wednesday, November 15. For more than thirty years my rock-rebel friend
has
reigned supreme as the principal songwriter, driving force and the
unwavering
voice of KISS. Paul single-handedly penned such escapist anthems as
'Love Gun,'
'God of Thunder' and 'Black Diamond.' He strippedoff the KISS makeup,
as the
unmasked troubadour that breathed vocal life into the ballads 'Reason
to Live,'
'Forever' and 'Every Time I Look At You.' His highly anticipated solo
album 'Live
to Win' will be released October 24. … Barenaked Ladies are the first
act back
in the newly decorated and renovated Performing Arts Theater at the
Aladdin
resort on December 1 and tickets are now onsale.
STRIP SCRIBBLES
Even though David Copperfield can make anything vanish, I don’t think he was actually making the clothes disappear off the topless entertainers at Seamless adult-mens club. He and a new galpal, and good friend, Brian Klimaski of ICE nightclub, hit the new celebrity booth for the Gods and Goddesses Industry Night. … 'United States of Leland’ star Ryan Gosling stopped by Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce to say a special farewell to his favorite striptease dancer, Carolyn Pace. Ryan is a huge fan of Carolyn’s and wanted the last goodbye kiss before taking off to Canada to film the new 'Lars and the Real Girl' movie.
HIGHSPEED WATERSPORTS
The beauties and cuties from Hooters Casino will really be making waves today thru the weekend out at Lake Mead as they cheer on their race boat team competing in the National Championship OffShore Races. Driver Steve Page and his throttleman Joey Grafton have already won 2 titles for the team and will be in the Cat Lite clash in a vibrant Hooters trademark orange and white boat emblazoned with the hotel logo. You can literally meet men and machines during the testing today and tomorrow, and then watch the actual noontime championship races on Sunday. If you are not into high-speed water sports there’s a ton of other exciting attractions and you’ll find them all here in what we affectionately refer to around here as the ROBIN'S ROYAL RUNDOWN:
Friday October 6
Tonight
show host Jay
Leno round trips twice by private plane for his two nights at
the
Mirage just so he can sleep in his own bed at home in the hills of
Hollywood.
Ready
to deal at MGM Grand is Howie Mandell who’ll
provide laughs thru till Oct 18
Queeensryche
makes the heavy metal boom at the House of Blues.
Veterans
of the rock-touring world, REO
Speedwagon pull into Red Rock.
Quiet
Riot will still be noisy when they perform at Boulder
Station.
Sweeter
sounding syrupy lyrics and harmonies come from the Osmond
Brothers at the
Suncoast.
There’s
a Betsey Johnson fashion party at Body
English in the Hard Rock.
Finally
its First Friday yet again so you can join thousands
of other art, ceramic,
sculpture and fashion fans for the walk-about around Downtown’s ever
growing
collection of galleries and
studios.
Sat Oct 7
It’s
the annual Andre
Agassi's Grand Slam for Children charity fundraiser and he’s
serving up aces with Phil Collins, Sarah

Country

Haggard plucks strings and a few hearts at Sunset
Station.
Jet
makes a nice landing at the Hard Rock Hotel and guarantees music
mayhem.
Fight
fans aren’t left out this weekend because Casamayor-Corrales

at Mandalay Bay.
