Soul vocal group the Spinners perform their collection of timeless R&B hits in The Club at Cannery Casino & Hotel on Saturday, June 26 at 8 p.m. Renowned for their smooth harmonies and outstanding stage presence, the Spinners have been nominated for six Grammys, inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and earned 12 gold records.

One of the most popular musical groups during the 1970′s, the Spinners’ first Top 10 and million-selling hit single, “I’ll Be Around,” was actually the B-side of the track “How Could I Let You Get Away.” In 1972, the group released the album “The Spinners” and immediately found success with the hits “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love,” “One of a Kind (Love Affair)” and “Ghetto Child.” Cementing their popularity, the group’s 1974 album “Mighty Love” featured three Top 20 singles including “I’m Coming Home,” “Love Don’t Love Nobody” and the title track. Their collaboration with Dionne Warwick on “Then Came You” was the group’s biggest success of the year, hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top three on the R&B and Easy Listening charts.

Other hits during the late 1970′s and early 1980′s include “They Just Can’t Stop it the (Games People Play,” “The Rubberband Man” and “Working My Way Back to You.” On August 8, 1980, the eight-lettered name group hit number eight on the charts with the eight-worded medley “Cupid/I’ve Loved You for Long Time.” The Spinners saw chart success again in 2003 when a remix of “Are You Ready for Love” reached number one on the singles charts.

Arena rocker Peter Frampton makes his way to the intimate The Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort on Friday, September 18, 2009 at 9:00 p.m.

Peter Frampton Tickets

Peter Frampton has been a legend on the rock scene as far back as the late ’60s and early ’70s when he performed with bands like Herd and Humble Pie. His debut solo album Wind of Change was released in 1972 followed by Frampton in 1975 which reached #32 on the U.S. charts and included career defining hits “Show Me The Way” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.”

Frampton Comes Alive was released in 1976 and quickly became the most well-known Frampton album featuring hits like “Baby, I Love Your Way” and “Show Me The Way.” “Do You Feel Like We Do” was also featured on this album and showcased his famous talk box guitar effect. It became the largest selling live album of its time and went multi-platinum selling more than 6 million copies in the U.S. and 16 million worldwide.

Frampton released his latest album Fingerprints, an amazing 14-tune collection of guitar genius that combines musical influences from R&B and rock to blues-infused country and jazz. In a surprising move to his fans Frampton decided to focus on instrumentals for this album instead of his vocals. Fingerprints landed him the 2007 Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Album and featured artists from bands such as Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers and many more.

This event is presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. Doors will open at 8:00 p.m. and show time is 9:00 p.m. The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.

Fish, foodies and the finest Japanese sake collide at SUSHISAMBA strip’s debut of SUSHI+SAKE101 – a deliciously interactive two-hour teaching and tasting event starting Wednesday, January 14, 2009.

Even though these one-of-a-kind classes don’t begin until the new year, with the holiday season in full swing – there’s no better time to make a purchase. Certificates for SUSHI and SAKE 101, perfect for the aspiring chef, passionate gourmand or friend who has everything, are currently available at the all-new www.sushisamba.com.

Made popular at several SUSHISAMBA locations across the country, SUSHI+SAKE101 introduces guests to the history and traditions of sushi and sake, the art of sushi making and offers in-depth instruction about these two worldly traditions from resident experts.  Class participants will learn what it takes to become a “master sushi chef,” while sipping sake alongside a delectable five-course meal that includes sashimi, tempura, edamame and sushi rolls they help prepare. For the Vegas debut, SUSHISAMBA strip will up the ante (so to speak), unveiling its top talent to lead their Wednesday class: Sushi Chef Koji Kagawa and Las Vegas’ only female master sake sommelier, Tiffany Dawn Soto.

For the first half of class, sommelier Soto will guide pupils through the exotic world of sake tasting, introducing the traditions and history of sake while uncovering misconceptions about this increasingly popular Japanese alcohol distilled from a special kind of rice.  From aromatic to aged to sparkling, guests will be exposed to new and diverse prefectures of sake every week – be it “sweet and spicy” or “rich and round with a sweet caramel finish.”  Choosing from more than 130 different sakes in the award-winning SUSHISAMBA collection— Las Vegas’ largest — Soto will present guests with five flights in total, paired off with appetizing (and signature) selections from the SUSHISAMBA strip menu.

In the latter half of class, guests will get schooled on the schools of fish inside the SUSHISAMBA strip sushi bar.  They will learn the simplified approach to cutting raw fish; how to identify what is “sushi-grade” and will even construct a sushi roll of their choice.  All told, there will be enough “do-it-yourself” instruction for any aspiring at-home sushi chef to feel confident, inspired and ready to put their knowledge to the test.

Along these lines, SUSHI+SAKE 101 students will also be given an informative take-away booklet with restaurant recipes, a glossary of terms and a summation of what they learned in class.

Paris Las Vegas will light the 50-story replica of the Eiffel Tower red at midnight on the morning of Thursday, November 20th to launch the weekend of Beaujolais Nouveau festivities celebrating the release of the 2008 wine. Guests and patrons throughout Paris Las Vegas will join in the four-day celebration, which will feature special events, tastings and unique Beaujolais Nouveau pairings. This year Paris Las Vegas has partnered with Georges Duboeuf, the number one producer of Beaujolais wines in the world.

Honoring the long tradition regulated by French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is released no sooner than the third Thursday of November, when it is ready for consumption just six weeks after the harvest.  Thus, at one minute past midnight, huge celebrations are held all over the world to taste the first wine of the harvest. More than 65 million bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau will be consumed in the months to follow.

For the 2nd annual celebration, the 2008 Beaujolais Nouveau will arrive to Paris Las Vegas by helicopter via Las Vegas Helicopters, landing just feet away from Eiffel Tower replica. George Duboeuf Can-Can dancers will escort the wine from the helicopter and present the newly released wine to the celebrity guest host who will flip the switch to light the tower to kick off the celebration. Public and guests welcome to attend. The unique tower lighting will launch a bevy of resort events. 

“We are thrilled to join wine-lovers around the globe to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau, which has been a worldwide phenomenon for more than 50 years,” said Marilyn Winn, president of Paris Las Vegas.  “Like St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago and Chinese New Year in San Francisco, we are thrilled to be hosting our 2nd annual event this year.”
