  1. Greg, Peter Morton is the founder, and Harry is his son and I believe a part owner of the Nine Group. Peter owned the Hard Rock here in Vegas outright, and that casino, as well as rights to the name west of the Mississippi (I believe excluding those on Indian reservations) are what were included in the sale to Morgans earlier this year. It's amazing that the sale of the Las Vegas property, including the apartment complex adjacent to the hotel, to Morgans was almost equal in price to the sale of almost the entire company to the Seminoles.

  2. Wish you had Howells, Lawler or Sander on NYE instead of Sandra but otherwise that is a DAMN sick set of nights...

    Actually, it is better this way. We get the talent that LA is getting, only not on amateur night (aka NYE).

  3. how was this event....

    Coxy and Marco Bailey is great combo

    This party was excellent. I doubted Tabu's ability to throw a great party around these two guys, whose music is a great deal different than what the venue is used to hosting, but they did a fantastic job. Epope, tell your friends over there thank you again for booking those guys.

  4. Are you kidding me? Whenever I go to Vegas that was the one club the kept house and trance alive. Please tell me that another club is going to play electronic dance music in light of this.

    Well, Jet is starting a house night on Thursdays which from what I am hearing will be co-promoted by Spundae, and Giant will be doing Sunday bookings at Tao's new house party. However, as far as Saturday nights go, it looks like that void may not be filled for awhile unless Empire Ballroom were to give regular hours another try. I don't see any of the casino clubs going straight house on Saturday nights.

    Ice's closure is a big loss for the club scene here. It will be missed.

  5. He was basically awesome. He came on pretty late, around 2am, but once he was on, it was on. He rocked the house with a very enjoyable set. I know he's a tough guy to book, but he needs to come around here more often. Steve Lawler is definitely worth the price of admission. Thanks to everyone who made it out for a great night of music.

  6. I used to have a problem with dressing a little nicer to go out here in Vegas, but that doesn't bother me at all anymore. In fact I've come to like it because you're assured a much more well dressed crowd at the club. Also, you don't need anymore money to party here than you need in LA. Cover charges are pretty much the same, and so are drink prices. Tables and bottles probably cost more here, but they all get sold, every night, so clearly there are a lot of people who do not perceive the prices as unreasonable. Besides, selling bottles at 1,200% markups is what allows $20 million venues to be profitable. Without that revenue source we'd be partying in venues that look like, well, LA venues.

    For the people who complained about the door staff at some of the venues here though, you are right on about that.

  7. In terms of the quality of the venues, there is no comparison at all. The only really good venue in LA is Avalon. Quality plummets dramatically from there. The venues here are spectacular, even if they do host cheesy parties every week. Clubs here are just so nice, really classy venues. I don't see that in LA. The big places, like Circus Disco and Vanguard, are really not on the level of anything in Vegas IMO, although Vanguard has an awesome sound system. Las Vegas has some of the most impressive venues you'll find anywhere.

  8. I am pretty disappointed that Carl isn't playing a club like Ice or Jet, and is instead playing Tabu, a lounge, and a small one at that. I would love to hear the story behind how Carl came to get booked at Tabu. That seems like such an odd spot to book a DJ like Carl Cox. I can't imagine he would have heavily discounted his massive booking fee for this gig. I hear what Martinstein is saying about seeing Carl in an intimate venue, but not one like Tabu. Tabu doesn't even have a dancefloor. Don't get me wrong guys, I like Tabu. However, it seems like a much less than ideal setting for someone like Carl Cox.

  9. WED OCT 25

    MGM Grand: "Bite" cast Halloween party; Carl Cox at Tabu

    Tabu wasn't exactly what I was hoping for when I said I wanted someone in Vegas to book Carl Cox, but beggers can't be choosers I guess. I'll be there.

  10. Faarsheed, the most underrated electronic DJ in the world.

    Faarsheed is living proof of what not only talent, but hard work and a great personality can get you in this world. He deserves everything that is coming his way, from gigs at New York's legendary Cielo to crowds knowing the tracks as they come in out in San Francisco at Ruby Skye. He works his ass off, and treats everyone around him the right way.
