2011 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS AIRS LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS

"The 2011 Billboard Music Awards" will be broadcast on ABC live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, in partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The announcement was made by Richard D. Beckman, CEO of Prometheus Global Media, which owns Billboard. The show is scheduled to air on SUNDAY, MAY 22 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) and will become one of the most important music forums for artists on television. The live broadcast will be co-executive produced by Beckman and Don Mischer of Don Mischer Productions.

Richard D. Beckman

"We're thrilled to partner with Billboard on the Billboard Music Awards. ABC is already the destination for such prestigious music events as The American Music Awards and The CMA Awards, and we're proud The Billboard Music Awards will now be calling us their home," said Vicki Dummer, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late-Night, ABC Entertainment Group. "We see this marquee event as a valuable asset and perfect opportunity for us to launch in May."

"This show marks the first of several broadcast platforms we plan to build around the Billboard franchise," said Beckman. "We have an incredible network partner and, with Don Mischer, one of the finest producers in the world. We look forward to entertaining music fans with Billboard's own rendition of a televised celebration of music."

Artist popularity will be recognized on stage by objective measures capturing pure fan support through Billboard's legendary chart rankings. The Billboard Music Awards will take a holistic look at artist performance based on key fan interactions with music, including album, single and digital sales, touring, streaming, as well as social interactions on MySpace, Facebook and many of the other most popular online destinations for music. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners.

The awards will be based on the reporting period of February 28, 2010 through March 1, 2011. Top artists will be recognized in a variety of genres, for example R&B, Rap, Pop, Country, Rock, Latin and Alternative. Such recognition will be determined and authenticated by Billboard.

"Las Vegas is a world-class destination known for hosting special events," said Rossi Ralenkotter, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "Millions of visitors enjoy our entertainment offerings every year, and having the Billboard Music Awards return to Las Vegas gives them one more reason to visit."

Emmy Rossum Honored at Niche Media's Vegas Magazine Cover Party at The Bank Nightclub in Bellagio

Showtime’s new Shameless star, actress Emmy Rossum celebrated her cover on Niche Media’s February issue of Vegas Magazine with Editor-in-Chief Abby Tegnelia and Publisher Josef Vann at The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio on Super Bowl weekend.

The Vegas Magazine party held at The Light Group’s premier nightlife destination, The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio, served as a homecoming for the good-girl actress who typically comes to sin-city on family trips. “I dig Vegas,” Rossum said in the current issue of Vegas magazine. “It’s really fun and I love the energy, but it’s more of a family place to me.”  Emmy, who dubbed herself the “un-Strip Vegas person”, danced the night away and mingled among the club’s elegant booths while sipping Beau Joie champagne. Emmy looked stunning in a red and maroon dress by Etro.

To celebrate the February issue, Vegas magazine created a truly luxurious atmosphere with dim lighting, spacious booths and special behind the scenes footage of Emmy’s photo shoot playing on the screens overlooking the expansive dance floor.  Inside, guests mixed, mingled and sipped on champagne by Beau Joie.



Toasting the celebration with Emmy and Vegas magazine was actor Patrick Heusinger of Royal Pains and Gossip Girl.

Emmy Rossum is on the Cover of Vegas Magazine Talking About Shameless and Visiting Vegas

Emmy Rossum is THE IT girl of the hour getting lots of attention for her sexy scenes in her new Showtime TV show Shameless. Here is some exclusive content from Vegas magazine’s February issue with Emmy on the cover:
 
Rossum dishes to VEGAS magazine about her no frills look on the set of Shameless, telling the February issue that “We pretty much get no hair and makeup at all; they frizz out my hair a little and rub mascara around my eyes, and that’s it.” The down to earth starlet admits that she loves the easy look, telling the mag, “I love the no-vanity aspect of it. It’s really liberating from having had so many years of period costume drama.”

The Bank Nightclub at Bellagio

On her steamy sex scenes in her birthday suit with co-star hottie Justin Chatwin, Rossum admits that performing sex scenes isn’t for everyone, gushing to VEGAS mag, “It’s like, OK,  time to take my top off.” Rossum matter-of-factly tells Vegas mag that, “the whole thing is so silly that if we weren’t so comfortable with each other it would be really uncomfortable.” Rossum even admits that “It’s definitely an acquired experience. You look over and the camera guy is very politely averting his gaze between takes,” the 24 year old says in the February issue of VEGAS magazine.


 
More sex on the mind, Rossum reflects on the intense sex scenes she plays in and on why they are so intense, Rossum tells VEGAS mag that “Sex is meant to feel good, and she wants to feel good. Her [Rossum’s character-Fiona Gallagher] life is so shitty in so many ways. Some people use alcohol, some people use gambling-and some people use sex.”
 
But while the newly single Rossum (she broke up with Counting Crows’ Adam Duritz last fall) has no apprehension about pushing the envelope on-screen, her life is substantially more PG off, especially while visiting Las Vegas. Rossum opens up to VEGAS magazine about her relaxed family life saying “My uncle lives in the suburbs of Vegas, so I’ve spent time there but not so much on the Strip. I dig Vegas. It’s really fun and I love the energy, but it’s more of family place to me.”

China Poblano will offer Chinese and Mexican beers, along with a small selection of wines. Premium tequilas and mezcals will be featured as well as José Andrés’ renowned creative cocktails. Agua Frescas and Chinese teas round out the selection.

Designed to evoke a sexy, fetish-oriented environment, the Provocateur Penthouse sets the stage for guests to play out their most intimate fantasies.

In the master bedroom, Obscura Digital implemented a 3-projector system that brings playtime to life. At the flip of a switch, shades come down, lights dim, and two beautiful women are projected onto the bed, writhing wantonly. Synchronized on the wall behind the bed is more video projection, rotating through four exotic themes such as “Bubbles” and “Vanity.”  Obscura’s proprietary FireFrames™ system runs the reactive projections in the foyer and the bedroom, keeping the penthouse alive and fanciful.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF

ARNO MARSH

The story of Arno Marsh will be told, sung, and played by a retinue of talent assembled for a matinee performance at the E-String, November 14^th at 3:00PM.  Producer/writer Phil Marcus Esser has wrapped the Bruce Harper Band around Arno and his life story as he plays his way from big band to big band.  Besides the 17 piece orchestra there will be special appearances by piano man Charlie Shaffer and his bass playing sidekick of many years, Bob Baker, as well as singers Mike Miele, Laura Shaffer, and Marsha Ross.

During the last 65 years, Arno Marsh has played sax for 30 famous bands (that he could remember) He forgot Lionel Hampton. You’d think he’d remember that! He was the only white musician in that band. He might have forgotten a few more. The thing is, he’s been everywhere and he’s done everything. And, he still plays many of the reunions of all these bands: Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie. A few months ago, he flew to Chile to play in an orchestra presentation of the Frank Sinatra Song Book, another style of music that he had been so much a part of.

When you see and hear him playing his well used tenor sax that used to belong to Stan Getz, it’s hard to believe that Arno Marsh is 82 years old. You find yourself being transported to birdland. You pay attention! His dad paid attention when Arno mentioned that he liked the Louis Armstrong stuff a lot more than the Guy Lombardo. So, when Arno was ten years old, he was given a trumpet. He said, “No”, so his father tried a saxophone! That was it! And you have to wonder if he had any idea where that instrument was going to lead him. In 1945, he left his hometown, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to try his skills as a sax player in what they then called, “Midwest territory bands”.  He wanted to play Jazz.  A few years later, he joined Woody Herman in creating what would be known as “The Third Herd”. From there the list of famous bands and performances go on forever. He was good! The offers kept coming.

Arno moved to Las Vegas in 1960 and joined the famous Charlie Ventura band at the Thunderbird Lounge. The jam sessions there with Arno, Carl Fontana and Ventura were legendary. Drew Page, a sax and clarinet player who started with the big bands in the 1920’s and who wrote Drew’s Blue’s – A Sideman’s Life With The Big Bands  in 1981 praises Arno as one of the great heroes of the big bands. Working along side of them, he says that Arno Marsh and Carl Fontana were perfect sight readers that never made any mistakes on anything written or improvised.

Criss Angels' Luxor Show

CRISS ANGEL BELIEVE

    CRISS ANGEL Believe™ is a haunting exploration deep inside the inventive mind of mystifier Criss Angel as he hovers between the land of the living and a surreal world uniquely woven together by the distinctive imaginations of Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil.

    Unlike traditional magic-themed shows, CRISS ANGEL Believe™ transcends any preconceived notion of what it means to be emotionally engaged by the arts of mysticism and illusion. Imagine a fantasy, an allegory, a highly theatrical tableau of mood, reverie and emotion set against a backdrop of dreamlike darkness and light.

    Criss Angel stars as a surreal, enigmatic Victorian Noble. Along a path of imaginative exploration, he encounters Kayala and Crimson, two women who represent different aspects of femininity, four bizarre Ushers, who will introduce the audience to the baroque theater of Criss’s mind and a high-energy troupe of characters and dancers who mix a multitude of styles into a high-energy visual feast, punctuated by moments of grace and sensuality.

    The stunning illusions in CRISS ANGEL Believe™ is not presented as standalone elements, but as interdependent components using heightened imagery, fantastical creatures and impossible feats of legerdemain, all of which will be integrated into the dazzling, colorful fabric of the story.

MGM Grand Opens The First ULTRA POOL - Wet Republic

    MGM Grand unveiled Wet Republic on April 10th. It's a 53,000-square-foot ULTRA POOL combining a nightlife vibe with poolside pampering and relaxation. The Grand Opening is set for April 25th.

    An adults-only mecca, Wet Republic features two saltwater pools. They are the only ones on the Las Vegas Strip. These spectacular pools measure 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. There are a total of eight separate pools and spas. Six cascading waterfalls accent the vast pool-scape and create the illusion of a never-ending flow of water.

    Adjacent to the main pool area, WET REPUBLIC features a sultry 2,500-square-foot open-air ultra lounge delivering a matchless daylife party. The covered pool lounge is a place to mix, mingle, dance and dine while drinking in the pool’s delicious atmosphere. At its focal point is an eye-catching 60-foot verde marble-topped bar with a custom glass base inset with chartreuse silk and bamboo. Dark wood floors juxtaposed against swanky cream-colored couches, lounge chairs and ottomans create a seductively modern vibe. White onyx tables throughout the venue serve double duty as dance platforms for guests to showcase their sexy moves to the beats of renowned DJs.

    “We’ve taken the best elements of Vegas nightlife and infused them with supreme poolside amenities and services to create WET REPUBLIC, an unrivaled venue that is quickly becoming the city’s must-see, must-experience pool destination,” said Anthony Olheiser, director of nightlife for MGM Grand. “WET REPUBLIC is open yet intimate and delivers a variety of experiences for our guests, whether they want to chill over cocktails in our poolside lounge, relax in our exclusive VIP bungalows, or bask in the party scene on the main pool deck and in our cabanas. We’ve transformed the quintessential Vegas pool party to deliver a new standard of entertainment and luxury with the introduction of Vegas’ first ultra pool.”

    Adjacent to the main pool area, Wet Republic features an open-air ultra lounge, a bar, a sundeck that transforms into a stage, a DJ booth and eight state-of-the-art underwater speakers.

All guests can swim and sun in WET REPUBLIC’s two main pools or opt for a more intimate dip in one of three cozy spas located on the far side of the pool area near the main entrance.
