An Oktoberfest Pool Party This Way Comes...

Plus Flavor Flav’s Fried Chicken, a Sexy Show and Famous Steak

By Sam Eichner

SHOW OFF

Two New Shows. One About Love. One About Lust.

Today on the New Vegas Show Showdown (working title)...

Baz: A high-energy cabaret highlighting romances from the world of Baz Luhrmann (think: Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby...).
vs.
Cherry Boom Boom: A super-sexy classic rock revue/go-go-dancing hybrid.

And the winner is... you. It’s always you.

MAD FLAVOR

The Return of Flavor Flav’s Fried Chicken

And now, a brief history of Flavor Flav.

1978: Graduates from culinary school.
1986: Def Jam signs Public Enemy.
2006-2008: Flavor of Love happens.
2012: Opens (and closes) Flavor Flav’s House of Flavor in Vegas.
Like, recently: Begins selling his fried chicken at the Rockhouse.

Always something with him.

KEEP PALM, CARRY ON

The Palm. Now with More Caricatures. And More Wagyu.

After two months of renovations, the Palm is now reopen. What’s new: a giant, wall-to-wall mural depicting the evolution of the Strip with over 50 new celebrity caricatures, plus four-cheese lobster mac, Wagyu ribeye and coconut-crusted sea scallops. What’s not: your undying desire for Wagyu.

VICIOUS ’CYCLES

Motorcycle Gangs. Not Your Average Museum Exhibit.

So there’s this new Mob Museum exhibit on outlaw motorcycle gangs involving paraphernalia and stories from an undercover agent who infiltrated the Hells Angels. Where you can comb through photos and peruse documents detailing their role in organized crime. Um, allegedly, that is.

NUGGET ABOUT IT

Oktoberfest Can Only Improve with a Pool

Golden Nugget’s annual two-day Fall Beer Fest (aka “big Oktoberfest thing”) happens this weekend. On Saturday, you’ll enjoy award-winning beers and beer-related snacks at their Craft Beer Grand Tasting. On Sunday, you’ll do basically the same thing, but at a pool party. This town never misses a pool party opportunity.
