The Last Word
In honor of the late Robin Leach, Vegas Prime Magazine has reimagined his longtime Wicked Whispers & Racy Rumors as Vegas Prime Whispers – as a tip of the toque to the very-much-missed colleague, mentor and dear friend.
Vegas Prime Whispers
Which Las Vegas headliner cancellation due to “current circumstances” is said to be specifically due to “abysmal” ticket sales?
Which recent award show host’s onstage antics raised a few eyebrows and had audience members puzzled?
Which celebrity needs to lay off the fillers and tanning?
Which local restaurant chain is opening a ninth location in Summerlin?
Which new restaurant was duped by three customers who “were going to be late for a show” but were seen at a casino floor bar post-dinner? Tacky!
Which crowded grand opening saw guests leave before the feature performer hit the stage?
Which old hotel tour included the power going off while attendees were in the basement?
These are whispers, so no answers will be provided; you’ll just have to use your imagination. Email your Vegas Prime Whispers to editorial@vegasprime.com.
