Giving It Her All

Forever Your Girl at Flamingo officially starts now, and no one is more excited about this innovative new residency show than the star herself. Paula Abdul recently explained to SheNews.com that she’s intensified her already elaborate preparation process to make sure she’s giving fans the best possible production. “Rehearsal at the Flamingo is particularly sacred because it’s such an iconic space,” she said. “I’m there to share my love of singing, dancing and the art of performing itself. There’s nothing like coming together with fellow dancers and creating something magical that we’ll get to share as a unified body.” Catch the pop icon doing her thing Oct. 22 and 24-26.

Must See: "X" Country

There’s no Las Vegas revue quite like “X” Country, performed Thursday through Monday at 10 p.m. at Harrah’s Cabaret. Like sister shows “X” Burlesque and “X” Rocks, this one offers some of the most beautiful and talented dancers on the Strip, but the twangy touch of traditional and modern country music hits is not the only element that sets this sexy show apart. It’s all about the attitude. Each dancer brings her own unique charisma and style, and that energy is why “X” Country remains one of the most popular shows in the category. It recently celebrated its fourth anniversary, and entertainers from across the valley showed up to help these country girls mark the occasion.

The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated their quick start to the new NHL season—and two straight victories over the San Jose Sharks—with a team dinner at The Cosmopolitan’s contemporary Japanese restaurant Zuma. The squad took over the luxurious private dining room overlooking the Strip and feasted on a massive spread of grilled tiger prawns, chicken skewers, assorted nigiri and Zuma’s signature Golden Toro Maki topped with gold leaves.

Vanderpump Rules reality star and former Strip performer Scheana Shay hit Park MGM for a weekend escape. She checked in at the NoMad Hotel and made the rounds at Best Friend, Mama Rabbit and On the Record. The following day, Shay cruised past Paris—where she took a turn starring in Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man last year—to The Mirage for a day party at Bare Pool Lounge, then returned to On the Record that night. Her Vanderpump co-star Lala Kent also scored some Las Vegas fun recently, lunching at Sugar Factory American Brasserie with fiancé Randall Emmett.

Real Housewives of Orange Country star Emily Simpson, who recently took some burlesque lessons from Sexxy star and creator Jennifer Romas at Westgate Las Vegas, was back in Las Vegas and spent some time at the Las Vegas Food & Wine Festival at Tivoli Village. Simpson’s party had dinner at the Hamptons restaurant before checking out the event and posing for pictures with chefs and fans.

That same Saturday night, Whitney Port, one of the stars of The Hills: New Beginnings, dined with a group of friends at Tao at The Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian and The Palazzo before heading upstairs to the club to party along with DJ Eric DLux.
