Travis Pastrana pals around with the Gazillionaire.
Extreme motorsports icon and star of MTV show “Nitro Circus” Travis Pastrana was at “Absinthe” Thursday night, possibly sharing some advice from one daredevil to another with a member of the Gazillionaire’s wild crew. Pastrana, in case you didn’t hear, is preparing for a live TV special on History on July 8 wherein he will pay tribute to Evel Knievel by duplicating three of the motorcycle legend’s stunts — including the Caesars Palace fountain jump that almost claimed Knievel’s life. Stay tuned here to get more info on these events, which will be free and open to the public.

”Inferno: The Fire Spectacular” starring magician Joe Labero and The Fuel Girls celebrated its 100th show on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night. Ironically, it was the same night and the same venue, the Paris Theater, where “Marilyn! The New Musical” wrapped up its initial run.
In other bad news for the show biz, the planned concert experience and attraction The Voice: Neon Dreams has been unplanned at the Hard Rock Hotel. The show was set to open this year with a cast of vocalists from the popular NBC singing competition in a new, customized venue, but these neon dreams are over, a casualty of the resort’s new ownership. Here's the statement: "In light of recent developments regarding the scope, timing and impact of the construction and renovation plans for the transformation of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino into a Virgin Hotel property and our unsuccessful efforts to find a way to adjust either the show or the construction plans to make both viable, the decision has been made to cancel the production of The Voice: Neon Dreams. We are grateful to our partners who have worked tirelessly in the creation of the show and are regretful that we are unable to continue forward with the project as originally envisioned. Refunds for prior purchases can be obtained at point of purchase."
