And in Las Vegas’ continuing love affair between nightlife and celebrities, Chord Overstreet (Glee’s Sam) celebrates his birthday at Tao on February 19, while across the way, San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker hosts the Baller’s Ball at Lavo. Mark Salling, Dianna Agron and Harry Shum Jr. are scheduled to join Overstreet. Who’s in town more these days, the cast of Jersey Shore or Glee?! —Don Chareunsy

House music continues its quest for Vegas domination with the announcement of LAX’s latest DJ residency—Grammy-winner Sharam. Launching February 23, Destination Sharam will feature a car-racing theme in a nod to the DJ’s interest in high-speed vehicles, as well as a newly renovated DJ booth upgraded especially for the new night. Fasten your seatbelt, it’s going to be a wild ride. —Sarah Feldberg
