Oprah comes to Las Vegas, free ticket offer

♠ April 20th, 2008 by ♣

On Saturday, April 26, Oprah will be in Las Vegas filming guests Cher and Tina Turner at a super secret location (we think it’s Caesars Palace).

News Channel 8 offers a chance to get in that historic studio audience by giving away 50 pairs of tickets.

Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, tune into Channel 8 between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Watch for the announcement, then be the first 50 people to sign up and fill out an entry form.

You and your guest must be at least 18, local Nevada residents, and available April 26 from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Now that Oprah gives away cars on her show, what could she have in store for her Las Vegas audience?

Scores Las Vegas sold to Rick’s Cabaret

♠ April 20th, 2008 by ♣

Gentlemen’s club Scores Las Vegas has been sold.

Rick’s Cabaret now has a presence in Las Vegas, snapping up the famous Scores for $21 million to make it the 18th club owned by the Houston-based adult nightclub operator. Rick’s has other clubs in Austin, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Miami, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Austin, Dallas, and New York City.

Rick’s will also have an option to purchase the property where Scores currently sits, on 3355 S. Procyon.

No word on whether Rick’s will convert the 25,000-square-foot Scores to its Rick’s Cabaret brand, but we assume so. Prior to Scores, the club was called Jaguar’s and contained a sushi restaurant.

Closing is set for June 10.

Free Guggenheim entry, set to close next month

♠ April 20th, 2008 by ♣

venetianguggenheim.jpg

That the Guggenheim at The Venetian is now free through May 11 is a bit bittersweet, because May 11 is also the closing date of the museum.

The past 7 years, there’s been a spot of culture right on the Las Vegas Strip, in the form of four art galleries within The Venetian.

And if you pop by, you can catch the current exhibition of Modern Masters, displaying 37 masterpieces, including pieces by Picasso (pictured above), Van Gogh, Cezanne, Manet, Monet, and many more.

The regular $15 admission fee is waived until May 11.

As for what will take over the space next, we suspect it will be something a little less high art couture. We’ll hope for restaurants, lounges, or clubs, but we won’t be surprised at slots.
