It must be a good indication that Las Vegas is bouncing back from the worst economy in the history of Las Vegas when a new club opens right?

I was fortunate enough to attend the grand openning Saturday night of The Black Door Bar & Grill. It’s the concept of Nico Santucci and Dave Navarro. It was a star studded event – complete with walking the black carpet in lieu of a red carpet through the gauntlet of photogs snapping away. As with every Las Vegas club opening, there was a snake lady, pole dancers, the Beacher’s Madhouse Midgets, and Ron Jeremy. After all, it is not a Vegas club opening without porn stars.

The club it’s self is small however, I liked the plush purple and black rock and roll vibe of the room along with candles flickering giving it an intimate feel regardless that the music was blaring on 107 decibels.

The Black Door will have live entertainement and will be the venue for the kick off of the new CUI: Comic Under The Influence on June 10th at 11pm brought to you by Eddie Rivkin and E7 Entertainment along with Sin City Whiskey. This show is not for the faint of heart!!! If you like your comedy Smart and RAW and XXX then this show is just for you!!!

The Black Door’s menu boast a menu fit for a rock star with everything named after rock stars – although no food was served at the opening. The Black Door Bar & Grill is open from Tuesday to Sunday.

New benefit for local musician’s and singers:
Now you can get on-stage and be the rockstar that you truly are, network with other talented musicians and receive free stuff~!!!!

Come out to meet, jam and most importantly network with your fellow local singers
and musicians at a great venue with a state of the art lighting and sound system.
Looking for a sub, a sub job, a gig? These are the events to be at each week.

Green Valley Ranch hotel-casino in Henderson today was named “casino of the year” by the Academy of Country Music for its support of country music.

The Encino, Calif.-based Academy of Country Music is having its 45th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on April 18. The event will be televised live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The award for Green Valley Ranch was announced today with several other winners that will not be televised on April 18.

For Station Casinos Inc., co-owner of Green Valley Ranch, this is the fourth “casino of the year” award since 1999.

In the 45 years of the award program, no other gaming company has won the award more than once.

The Railhead at Station’s Boulder Station hotel-casino in Las Vegas was named “Casino of the Year” in 1999, 2001 and 2003.

Over the past few years, Green Valley Ranch has hosted several country performers including Toby Keith, Rodney Atkins, Lady Antebellum, Chris Young, Montgomery Gentry, Blake Shelton, Phil Vassar and Bill Engvall.

The Greenspun family, owner of the Las Vegas Sun, is Station’s partner in Green Valley Ranch.

Also today, Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth was named nightclub of the year and the Sommet Center in Nashville was named venue of the year.

Other awards announced today by the Academy of Country Music include the Jim Reeves International Award, which was won by Keith Urban for outstanding contributions to the acceptance of country music throughout the world.

Urban, who was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, has become an international superstar since he moved to Nashville in 1992.

Also, the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award went to country music legends Marty Robbins and Mel Tillis.
