Jay-Z To Kick Off Fourth of July Weekend at The Palms

We unearthed a few more Fourth of July events worth a mention—still precious few fireworks shows to pass along, but if that’s all you cared about, you’d probably be staying home anyway. Everyone knows the fireworks in Vegas happen on the stage and the dance floor, baby, and here’s where you can find them:

Jay-Z will be performing this Friday and Saturday at The Pearl Theater at The Palms. Tickets range from $129 to $229, and can be purchased here.

Mandalay Bay Beach is hosting fireworks at 9 p.m., just before its Mystic Roots beach concert. Vegas.com advises that these fireworks will be visible really only to concertgoers and guests of the hotel with pool-facing rooms, so we’re not really sure why they same Web site is touting…

VooDoo Lounge atop the Rio as the place to “watch the fireworks from the Strip up close and personal”—we can’t find any evidence that there are any other July 4th fireworks shows going on anywhere on the Strip. VooDoo does have a $100 open-bar package that night, though, and you may be able to spot the fireworks at various outerlying hotel-casinos (like those at all nine Station Casinos) from its location 50 stories up. by Erika Pope - VegasChatter

The Palms Has Created The Ultimate Bachelorette Pad With Its New Barbie Suite

While celebrities are frequent weekend guests in Sin City, it seems as if some of them are settling down in Vegas, even if for just a short while. We've got Bette Midler, Mel B., the now broken-up couple of Criss Angel and Holly Madison and even, Barbie. Yes, Barbie!

The Palms has just unveiled their Barbie Suite (aka the Hot Pink Suite) which has been completely redone by designer Jonathan Adler, whose known for his so-called "Happy Chic" style. (We're already big fans of his playful pottery.) Thus The Palms has created The Ultimate Bachelorette Pad:

Featuring custom details that celebrate Barbie's pink panache, such as skirted, corseted, lace-up "dress" chairs, a sunburst mirror made from 65 Barbie® dolls and custom wall coverings in Barbie’s signature patterns, this suite lets guests live it up in true Barbie style!

In addition the custom Barbie décor, guests can also enjoy relaxing in an extra-large Jacuzzi tub, get cozy in front of a two-way fire place and take in amazing views of the Las Vegas strip.

The suite has a 50-person capacity so in-room parties are a must. Perhaps you could charge a door fee to recoup the suite price which starts at around $3,000 a night. You must love your bride-to-be friend very much if you want to split the steep room cost with her other bridesmaids.

Of course, this room is not only perfect bachelorette parties but also for Barbie enthusiasts and general girlfriend getaways (Dirty 30 birthday parties anyone?) And surprisingly, it's also a very kid-friendly suite as well. Although, we're not sure we can say that for the rest of the hotel....

Get Inked at Huntington Ink Inside The Palms

Waking up after a long whiskey-fueled night only to discover that at some point during your rampage you decided to get inked is about as cliched as waking up with a hangover only to discover you got hitched in Vegas. But at Huntington Ink at The Palms you can do both. Well, the tattoo part can be done here. You'll still have to hit up a nearby wedding chapel for the marriage thing.

Huntington Ink just opened at the start of the month on the first floor of the casino in the original Palms tower. Actually, this tattoo shop was always there, just under a different name--Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company. That shop, co-owned by Pink's ex-husband/new boyfriend Carey Hart, has now set up shop at the Hard Rock Hotel (And yes, there seems to be bad blood between the two tattoo houses.)

But John Huntington, the shop's owner as well as the co-producer and star of the A&E show, "Ink'd" has given Huntington Ink a new Asian-inspired look and getting a tattoo here is only half of the experience.

The newly designed lounge will feature a palette of gold and orange and dramatic lighting, along with water features and ornate staircases. Guests can view the tattoo artists’ flash and previous work on an interactive wall of touch screen units. Huntington will also incorporate a tattoo stage and state-of-the-art sound system for guest DJs and the nightclub guru’s friends.

There's also lots of merchandise for sale if you're squeamish about getting inked. The tattoo shop is open from 9am to midnight during the week and from 9am to 4am from Thursday through Saturday.

Not staying at the Palms? There are other tattoo shops near the Strip such as Hart and Huntington at the Hard Rock, Starlight Tattoo at House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay and Vince Neil Ink adjacent to O'Sheas casino. For those seeking something less permanent, there is a Henna Tattoos shop in Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile. Via: juliana - VegasChatter

Another Weekend, Another Pool Party Round-Up

Las Vegas seems to be ahead of the rest of the country in celebrating the arrival of summer and it gots nothing to do with the warm temperatures (in high 70s/low 80s.) Nope, it's all about the pool parties.

Marisa Miller kicked off The Mirage's 20th Anniversary celebrations over the weekend by hitting up the hotel's BARE pool on Friday in some daisy dukes. Meanwhile Carmen Electra celebrated her birthday with a pool party at Wet Republic at MGM Grand yesterday.

Just remember, when a celeb comes to "celebrate" anything in Vegas that usually means a red carpet walk, TV interviews, and plenty of staged photo ops. Whatever happened to just listening to a cover band poolside circa 2004?

Also on the pool scene was Twitterer VegasBill who was seemingly at every pool party yesterday and Twitpic'd all that he saw including not only Wet Republic but also Rehab at the Hard Rock and the Luxor's empty swimming pool. Did Criss Angel spike the water?

And we can't forget that Britney Spears was also in town this weekend lip-synching her heart out to the crowd at the MGM Grand Arena. She didn't partake in any pool parties but she was staying at her old friend George Maloof's place, The Palms.

Up next weekend, the 2008 Playboy Playmates will descend on The Palms on Friday to kick off their Ditch Fridays pool party at noon. Wow, Vegas can't even wait until the 5pm quittin' time whistle to kick things off. That's kind of why we love this town.

Got your own pics from Vegas Pool Parties? Drop them in the VegasChatter Flickr Pool. It's less painful than the hungover plane ride home. We promise! by juliana
