Manufactured Superstars, Calvin Harris, Afrojack on DJ lineup
The weekend looks pretty good for the clubs. But weekdays look very strong, too. Highlights:
■ Dada Life is hot, hot, hot, and breaks out bottles of Champagne and inflatable bananas tonight at Wynn’s XS nightclub. It’s an album release event, since the Swedish duo’s “The Rules of Dada,” came out Tuesday.
■ Actual vocalists take to the mic tonight – Big Boi at the Bellagio’s Bank and Nas at club Tao in The Venetian.
■ Manufactured Superstars always put on a big fun show with costumes and good music. They’re at Encore’s Surrender tonight.
■ Heidi Montag, the reality actress turned Playboy model, appears at Crazy Horse III strip club tonight with her man, Spencer Pratt, reportedly picking up a $25,000 paycheck. She tells me personally that she will not strip but will be on the lookout for a lap dance.
■ Dirty South DJs tonight at Marquee in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
■ Calvin Harris performs Saturday at Surrender, after having won the biggest MTV “Video of the Year” award with Rihanna, who accepted the award but did not thank him onstage for making the music for their song, “We Found Love.”
