Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:00:00 PST

Monday, July 28, 2008 Last week we hosted a special two-night birthday party for rock n roll guitar icon Slash at Bare pool and JET Nightclub. Celebrities definitely turned up for this rockers b-day, which saw some amazing live performances and collaborations that you normally would never expect - like Slash and Fergie (Black Eyed Peas). Trust me, this was one of t...

Caramel - The Dark Knight

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:00:00 PST

Friday, July 18, 2008 So last night I went and saw the one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, if not the year - The Dark Knight. With the movie hyped as much as it was I was a bit nervous to see if the film would live up to expectations - it definitely did. Yet again, because of an event we had (this time it was at Caramel) I was able to score tickets to a ...

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:00:00 PST

Wednesday, June 18, 2008 June is always one of my favorite months in Las Vegas because it means the return of CineVegas. A culmination of cinema from around the world, this annual film festival showcases an array of independent films, short films and documentaries. A few nights ago the 10th Annual CineVegas Film Festival kicked off with a special screening of Peter Catta...

Jet - Its CRUNK time...

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:00:00 PST

Friday, June 06, 2008 Well I havent written about an event before it actually happened, but I had to write about this. Monday, June 16 JET Nightclub is throwing the First Annual Crunk Cup Ball, hosted by Lil Jon. The reason I feel compelled to talk about this event is that Lock (JETs Marketing Director) had over one hundred custom Crunk Cups made up for this ...

Brand - We Should Meat at BRAND

Tue, 27 May 2008 17:00:00 PST

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 So this weekend Light Groups newest restaurant, BRAND Steakhouse, opened to the public. Now dont get me wrong I love STACK and FIX, but my love for a good steakhouse tips the scale a little and I feel that BRAND may be Light Groups best venue yet. Its ambiance presents a really comfortable vibe and it doesnt make you feel that you...

Top 11 Things to Do in Las Vegas without Spending a Dime

Thu, 15 May 2008 10:00:00 PST

Thursday, May 15, 2008 Money often seems to dictate your Las Vegas experience, and rightfully so, but for those of you that have become a little strapped on cash due to either an impromptu vacation or as a result of some relatively poor decisions on the casino floor (you should have never split those tens), Las Vegas has options that allow you to enjoy yourself without p...

Mist - Iron Man

Fri, 02 May 2008 10:00:00 PST

Friday, May 02, 2008 Despite the fact that I have been in this industry for 10+ years, dated real women and frequently enjoy a good night out with a nice glass of wine, my Achilles heel has always been my undying love for comic books (yes, I still read them). So this week I was ecstatic when I got to see the sneak peak of the Iron Man movie at the new Rave Motion P...

How to get into a Las Vegas Nightclub

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:30:00 PST

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 As a Vegas resident and ten year industry veteran, one of the most frequently asked questions I hear is how do I get into the nightclubs in Las Vegas? Well, many of you think that you know (which some of you do) but a vast majority of Las Vegas travelers dont really have a clue on to how to get this accomplished properly. Regardless, once you ...

Revenge of the Cake

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:00:00 PST

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 Today my body hates me. Why you ask? Well, its not what youre probably thinking and Im recovering from some out-of-control Vegas nightclub filled weekend - its because of cake. Yes thats right, cake. Wayyyy to much cake. Ugh, I dont even want to talk about it - but I will. In addition to nightclubs, Las Vegas is also known ...

Thursday, April 10, 2008 Welcome to the first of many segments that I call 7 Questions. Each week, well delve into the minds of various Light Group employees and ask them (shocker...) seven questions. These questions will have no real structure and will deal with whatever issues or topics that are imagined in my crooked mind. For the inception of this new weekly segmen...

Bare - Whitey Goes to the Pool

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:30:00 PST

Thursday, April 03, 2008 Summers rapidly approaching which means Vegas pool season is finally here. This is a HUGE deal for people that live here, as well as those of you that are here just for vacation. Why? Well, let me break it down Charlie Brown. Pool season is great because unlike Las Vegas nightclubs, pool parties give you something to do during the day befo...

Excuse me, is this site taken?

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:30:00 PST

Monday, March 17, 2008 Well, welcome to my blog a glimpse into the twisted mind of a transplanted Midwesterner who wound up trading snowstorms for sand dunes and embracing the insanity of Sin City. I didnt grow up here, I simply moved to Vegas to see what I could make of myself in the entertainment capital of the world. Tada - this is it. So Vegas is cluttered w...

Partied like a Rockstar

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:30:00 PST

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 So Ive come to the conclusion that the best way to feel like you accomplished something when you really didnt, is to play Guitar Hero. If you havent played it yet, or have been living in some backwoods mountain cave and never heard of it, Guitar Hero is the greatest game ever! Because I have neither musical ability nor any real talent, this ga...
