Cash-strapped Station Casinos has a new suitor, Boyd Gaming.

According to a filing by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Boyd is the first publicly announced company that has indicated an interest in the bankruptcy-bound Station (March 3), to the tune of $950 million in cash.

Boyd would also substantially increase its offer depending on what else is on the table.

Some publications are reporting that the deal includes Texas Station, Wild Wild West (which has been rumored to close), Fiesta Henderson, and Fiesta Rancho. Others indicate Green Valley Ranch and Aliante are offered, though both of those are co-owned by Greenspun Media.

Jeff Gordon during 2006 speed week in Las Vegas finished second at Fontana Sunday
While watching the NASCAR Nationwide Stater Bros 300 from the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California on Saturday it was obvious that thousands of the seats were empty. While the stars of NASCAR raced around the track the cash strapped fans were home watching the event on TV. Will there be a repeat of empty seats at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for this weekend’s NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup series races? Not likely.

Las Vegas will be welcoming thousands of race fans from around the world for the events. Even with the strangled economy the town is forecast to fill up with cash toting, gambling loving NASCAR fans. A plethora of award winning restaurants, hot casino action 24/7, world class entertainment, and special events around town for race fans to meet some of their NASCAR favorites Las Vegas assures visitors they will be well-fed, luxuriously accommodated, constantly entertained and enjoy peace-of-mind from outstanding security. That’s why there will be few if any empty seats at the races this week.

If you only attend one NASCAR race and want to get the biggest bang for your leisure time buck; there’s no choice beyond Las Vegas.

Tony Stewart will hold a meet-&-greet at the Palazzo Sports tavern
Saturday 5-6 PM

Las Vegas will be pulling out all the stops with the upcoming new year’s celebrations. Aptly labeled America’s party, the events will include all of the strip and the downtown Fremont Experience. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has assured us the place to be to ring in the New Year is Las Vegas.

Fireworks by Grucci is planning the largest New Year’s pyrotechnics show in the country that will last over eight minutes while more than thirty thousand fireworks bomtavernd the Las Vegas strip and downtown Fremont Experience.

Downtown’s Fremont Experience is hosting a TributePalooza with eight of the world’s best tribute bands. Non-stop live music from two stages will give revelers seven hours of rock, and as stated there will be a fireworks show under the light canopy.

Extreme motorcycle daredevils are a major part of this year’s party with two major jumps planned for the Paris and Mirage resorts on the Las Vegas strip, but don’t forget about the two wheeled crazies downtown, Guinness World Record Holders Bela Tabak’s Riders of the Thunderdome perform in the Globe of Death. There will also be an off-road truck attempting to do the first ever backflip.

And the really good news? Admission is free to the Las Vegas strip. Fremont Street Experience downtown is free to Las Vegas residents with ID but capacity is limited. Guess the city brain trust finally figured out the residents of Las Vegas that once owned Fremont Street before the city gave it away didn’t much like paying fifty bucks to visit their One-time property. Out-of-town guests will be required to fork over twenty bucks for entry. Of course, you must be twenty-one to gain entry to the party. Gates open at 6 PM New Year’s Eve.

Complete details are available at the official website America’s Party, Las Vegas New Year 2009.

The Silverton Hotel and Casino has a special 2-for-1 entree at most of their restaurants… even their delicious Twin Creeks steakhouse, which is normally excluded from deals such as these.

Buy one entree and you’ll receive a second entree of equal or lesser value for free.

A coupon isn’t necessary, but you must show your Discovery Club card to redeem (it’s free to sign up).

The offer can’t be combined with any other offer or discount, so you won’t get the discount used if you pay with your points. Of course, don’t let that stop you from trying… you may get a friendly server who will give you the discount anyway (which for us is 30 percent for Platinum).

The offer does not include the Seasons buffet, Starbucks, Johnny Rockets, or Luciano and expires Dec. 30.

By the way, we recommend stocking up on MGD at one of the casino taverns beforehand, as all bottles are $1.

From the creators of TAO, the new LAVO nightclub (at Palazzo) is also a restaurant and offers a $30 pre-fixe meal for theatergoers.

Now you don’t have to see Blue Man Group, Phantom of the Opera, or Jersey Boys at Venetian/Palazzo to enjoy the pre-theater meal. Just show up and ask for the $30 special (it would help if you show up at least 90 minutes before a show is to begin).

The meal comes with one selection from each of three plates:

FIRST PLATE
Greek salad with feta mousse
Manchego baked onion soup
Bistro sald with goat cheese vinaigrette
Pizzette margherita

SECOND PLATE
Linguine vongole
Carmelized salmon
Herb grilled chicken paillard
Steak frites

THIRD PLATE
Warm chocolate bread pudding
Apricot almond “pizza”
Apple crisp
Trio of ice cream, chocolate chip cookies

Note that taxes and tip are not included, nor are beverages.

For reservations, call (702) 791-1800 or visit www.lavolv.com.

Tonight at midnight, Lance Bass (‘N Sync) will appear at Paris Las Vegas.

Bass will be flipping a switch to light up the Eiffel Tower reproduction to turn it red, kicking off the Beaujolais Nouveau festival at the casino-hotel the rest of the week and through the weekend.

The third Thursday of every November, Beaujolais Nouveau Day is celebrated with bottomless bottles of French Beaujolais Nouveau spirits, a light red spirits that is meant to drink immediately instead of waiting for it to mature.

Bass will have with him a cask of spirits transported straight via helicopter, though we gather not actually transported that way from France.

One-time Spice Girl Mel B will star in a new Las Vegas burlesque and striptease show for a reported $1 million.

Melanie Brown will play mistress of ceremonies Peep Diva as she guides Bo Peep (played by Kelly Monaco of “General Hospital” and “Dancing with the Stars”) in a quest for love in the show Peepshow at Planet Hollywood.

Joining them will be an all-female band and 20 “stunning” dancers plucked from Broadway, movies, and TV.

All come together for a coming-of-age story exploring sexuality through contemporary popular music and dance.

The show is believed to feature a revolving list of celebrities for month-long engagements.

Peepshow is led by Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell and BASE Entertainment.
