PBR Rock Bar & Grill inside The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood is mounting the mechanical bull of Vegas nightlife and riding it for all it’s worth. Which, this blog realizes, might be the worst metaphor in recorded history. Let’s not allow that to deter us from the matter at hand.

The popular PBR Rock Bar restaurant has already added a DJ booth (the paint was still fresh when we snagged the pic below), and plans are in place to divide the restaurant into two parts as the evening progresses (with a sound-proof wall, so diners won’t be disturbed), providing a mix of laid-back dining and the Vegas nightclub experience.

Tip: Tilting your camera makes things seem even cooler.

Additions are still being made to the decor, but the area pictured below will serve as a dance floor for night owls seeking to shake their badonkadonks off, whatever those might actually be.

This is where this blog will be exhibiting its mad badonkadonk skilz.

The area is expected to feature high-top furniture for party animals to keep their dogs from barking too much as the night wears on.

The club portion of PBR Rock Bar will even have its own entrance, directly across from the popular Earl of Sandwich restaurant.

It's a photo of a door! Hey, not everything can be front page news.

Bonus, the more adventurous can still make their way from the dance area to take on PBR Rock Bar’s hydraulic mechanical bull. This would seem an opportune time to share our video of bull-riding maven Karie, who we took no enjoyment in taping, believe us.

Visit the official PBR Rock Bar site, where you’ll find all the latest news as well as a healthy supply of scantily-clad rodeo clowns. We try not to ask.

There’s so much to see at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, you may even forget there are stores.

Our photos are so awesome, we're thinking of blogging for a living.

Seriously, there are stores. (More than 160 of them.) Please buy something so they can build more incredible things for this blog to photograph.

Thank you.

Flash mobs as a social phenomenon may not be dead, but they’re definitely on life support, thankfully.

A flash mob planned on May 12, 2012 at The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood might just change this blog’s mind about these “spontaneous” outbursts of group performance, though. (See? Right there. Planned spontaneity. Just one of the things we don’t get about flash mobs.)

In honor of World Belly Dance Day (liking it already), a Las Vegas belly dance group, Fuego Fusion,  will perform a “shimmy mob” at 4:00 p.m. on May 12 outside the Planet Hollywood resort.

Actual belly dancers may vary.

Belly dancing aside, the other reason we might not hate this flash mob is it will raise funds for The Shade Tree, a shelter for homeless and abused women and their children where this blog has personally volunteered on numerous occasions.

The “shimmy mob,” which we’re going to keep putting quotation marks around because we’re not sure we condone it, will also celebrate belly dance as an art form.

Other “shimmy mobs” will take place in 100 locations around the world on World Belly Dance Day. All the gatherings will raise donations for women’s and children’s shelters. Visit the official site.

Life offers too few opportunities to both watch belly dancing and contribute to charity.

Here’s some video from last year’s event. Hint: It’s not that kind of belly dancing.

The event will last four minutes, as so many things in Las Vegas do, and will happen near the entrance to the Cabo Wabo Cantina.

Here’s today’s random photo of Las Vegas. Recognize this spot?

It's not a contest. The answer is below.

This shot was taken at the fountain next to Trevi restaurant in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

“Trevi,” by the way, means “three ways,” which seems oddly appropriate for Sin City, if you know what we’re saying. However, “Trevi” in this case refers to the fountain the restaurant was named after, which was built in Rome at the intersection of three streets.

The fountain outside Trevi restaurant isn’t a replica of the Trevi fountain, by the way. It’s the Fountain of the Gods. The Trevi fountain replica can be seen outside the Forum Shops on its east-facing, or Las Vegas Boulevard side (see below).

If you can't find a statue to love at Caesars Palace, you've lost your marbles. Or, technically, marble.

What’s the best thing about Trevi restaurant according to this blog? The gelato stand right outside. Simply not optional during a Vegas visit. Trust us, your uvula will thank you. Or something.

Just because we don’t condone something doesn’t mean this blog isn’t going to share it!

Check out this clever Las Vegas keepsake.

No, we did not make this in Photoshop.

What makes this a Las Vegas keepsake, you ask? Do you always ask such impertinent questions?

Well, for your information, we found this item while roaming the Urban Outfitters store at The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.

Which is in Las Vegas.

You’re forgiven for your insolence.

We’re writing this blog post at 10:00 a.m., and in Las Vegas, that means it’s time to start thinking about our next cocktail!

Today, we vote for the Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum Toasted Colada at Cabo Wabo Cantina in The Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood. (Say that five times fast.)

Please note: The phrase "lick the rim" is not inherently inappropriate. That's all on you.

Hey, we even took notes about the ingredients this time.

The Toasted Colada contains two ounces of Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, one ounce of Coco Lopez and some pineapple juice. Even we can memorize that recipe. Just mix up all that flavorful goodness, dip the glass in honey and toasted coconut and you’re all set.

You could probably make one at home, but why would you do that when you could head to Cabo Wabo, put your feet up, people-watch, enjoy some tunes and soak in the gloriousness that is the Las Vegas Strip?

Oh, and that “put your feet up” thing was just a figure of speech. People are trying to eat.

Just because we don’t condone something doesn’t mean we can’t share it.

Las Vegas has never had a problem with slapping the words "Las Vegas" on things.

Enjoy some further Las Vegas nonsense. What else were you going to do? Work? Be productive? Oh, please.

Yes, Easter is a religious holiday, but that doesn’t mean Sin City can’t celebrate it, too.

Payard Patisserie & Bistro at Caesars Palace is offering a collection of chocolate Easter eggs, including new cheetah and zebra-inspired eggs offered for the first time this year.

Objects in this photo are larger, and more caloric, than they appear.

The walls of the 6.5-inch eggs are made with dark chocolate (72% to be exact), as well as a combination of milk and white chocolate, and when broken open, the eggs are filled with additional Easter goodies, including miniature chocolate and candied eggs.

We tried to hide our disappointment that this was just a display model. Foiled again!

The special eggs start at $36.

Find out more about Payard Patisserie & Bistro at Caesars Palace.

Oh, and have a great Easter, however you choose to celebrate it.

It’s time for more change in the wake of the massive Linq development project in the center of the Las Vegas Strip. The last day for The Rockhouse Bar & Nightclub at Imperial Palace is May 5, 2012.

We just got a little weepy there for a second.

The popular, boisterous watering hole will be moving to a temporary location at The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood until a more permanent home can be found (probably by late summer).

They were the best of times and, well, also the best of times.

As the clock counts down for The Rockhouse, stop by and enjoy the hooch, the beer pong and the lovely bartenders swinging from tires.

Don't try this at home. This Las Vegas blog is not liable for your rope burn.

Catch up on all the latest Linq news.

After nearly 20 years, the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas restaurant at The Forum Shops inside Caesars Palace is making a move. Here’s a photo of the space formerly occupied by this iconic restaurant.

Bonus points for spotting the guy carrying his wife's purse. Hey, we've all been there.

The restaurant will soon open on the mall’s third floor. Although, calling The Forum Shops a “mall” is a little like calling Caesars Palace a “quaint bed and breakfast.”

The Planet Hollywood restaurant, not to be confused with the Planet Hollywood hotel, will take up residence in the spot where the former Boa restaurant used to live. Note: There will be a test.

This is what the new restaurant looks like today.

This probably isn't how it will look when it opens. Unless they're going for a giant-sheet-of-plastic vibe.

Once the new restaurant opens, it promises to have all the things customers have come to know and love, including movie memorabilia. The new location will also feature two outdoor terraces with a great view of the Strip.

Not one to have commerce slam to a complete halt, the Planet Hollywood restaurant gift shop is already open for business next to Sushi Roku.

T-shirts are 50% off, ifyouknowwhatweresayin'. Hey, it's Vegas, you can never be sure.

We love Vegas newness, even when it’s not really “new-new.” You know what we mean.

Even if you’ve seen it a hundred times, the Fountain of the Gods at The Forum Shops inside Caesars Palace is always a sight to behold. Whatever “sight to behold” means. Because seeing something kind of implies you’re beholding it. Then, again, it’s better than a “sight to see.”

Let’s not get bogged down in details, shall we? Here’s today’s random Las Vegas photo.

Today's awkward trivia: Pegasus was sired by Poseidon. We're not entirely sure how that would work.

It’s interesting to note that while the Fountain of the Gods is located next to Trevi restaurant, the replica of the Trevi fountain is actually outside The Forum Shops (see below).

To keep your Caesars Palace fountains straight, we recommend a spreadsheet. There are a lot of them.

So, that’s two random photos of the day. This blog is here to exceed your expectations. Hey, it could happen someday.

Blondies Sports Bar & Grill, in The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, is a reliably good time, and Living Social is currently offering up a deal for $40 worth of food and drink for $20.

It’s likely O’Sheas casino will soon hand over the mantle of “Beer Pong Mecca” to Blondies, so you might as well give this deal a go to test the waters.

No apostrophe. Like Caesars Palace or Madame Tussauds.

The menu at Blondies features sandwiches and burgers, as well as the popular deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese balls, homemade chili, pizza, Famous Beer Can Chicken, New York Strip and other hearty fare. There are 12,400 (rough estimate) flat-screen TVs to choose from (the largest being 12 feet wide), and the cheerleader-inspired waitress outfits are always worth a return visit. You know, if you’re into that kind of thing.

The 50%-off deal is good for a week (expires April 4, 2012). Go to Living Social for the details.

While you're at The Miracle Mile Shops, make sure to check out this giant model of the human gastrointestinal tract. Or something.

Need another reason to visit Blondies? Now through April 30, 2012, you could win an actual diamond when you order a cocktail from a special “Diamond Menu.” When guests order a cocktail, they get to choose a diamond out of a glass that also contains 5,000 decoy stones. If the chosen diamond is the real one, it’s a keeper, and a jewelry store, Designs by Zulema, will set the diamond free of charge.

The Diamond Menu includes the Carrot Cake Martini, Silhouette Martini, Sex in the City cocktail, Bubble Martini and Dulche Leche cocktail. All the drinks are $15.

The Go Sexy Shop at Flamingo Las Vegas is stacked with clever keepsakes that are sultry, saucy, suggestive and scandalous. And several other “s” words we’ll whip out if we need to. Due to the inappropriate nature of the merchandise at Go Sexy, this blog definitely does not condone them. That said, let’s take a look!

The temporary tattoos below aren’t just temporary tattoos. They’re temporary tattoos uniquely suited to Las Vegas. Specifically, they’re made for the bosom. Or bosoms. We can never keep those straight.

Shouldn't these temporary tattoos, technically, be sold in cans?

Next up, the Sex Casino game. Or, to be exact, “25 Outrageously Fun Bedroom Games.”

In this casino, the ticket-in/ticket-out process can result in painful paper cuts.

The Sex Casino game includes “Sexual Favor” chips, “naughty dice,” “Scratch and Win Lotto Cards,” and a “Sexy Spinner” game. Note: Some items are more difficult to not condone than others, that’s for sure.

Item number three: The “Ring for Sex” bell.

The part inside a bell that makes it ring when it's shaken is called the tongue, or clapper. Awk-ward.

The next items we don’t condone are a two-fer. Go Sexy, not surprisingly, has any number of edible things. These would be two of them.

Yes, his and hers. We are an equal opportunity non-condoning blog.

Heavens, people. You know the Flamingo has a number of restaurants and a food court, right? Moving on.

Lastly, there’s this nurses costume, one which appears to make the human nipple invisible.

We did not retouch this photo. Which makes it all the more disturbing.

So, there you have it. Please make sure you avoid this merchandise during your next visit to the Go Sexy store at Flamingo. If you’re into that kind of thing. Which we aren’t. A couple of times a week or so.

This blog loves it some Las Vegas tchotchkes. We’ve got just about every refrigerator magnet, shot glass, poker chip, key chain, bottle opener and cozy you can imagine. And don’t get us started about those Las Vegas dice clocks.

Recently, at Flamingo Las Vegas, this souvenir caught our eye.

Nothing says Vegas like a blinged-out flamingo. Probably.

These beaded flamingos are $59, and made by a company called Grass Roots Creations. The intricately-constructed flamingos are part of what’s described as “a whimsical, handcrafted line of beaded sculptures inspired by nature.” Read more.

This blog knows whimsy when it sees it.

You can get your fancy flamingo at the Promenade Gift Shop.

Of course, you can see actual flamingos just dozens of feet away from the gift shop at the Flamingo’s Wildlife Habitat. It’s a free attraction which you and your family can enjoy, in its entirety, in just under 11 minutes. The habitat features several flamingos, which are kind of Nature’s bling if you think about it.

The real deal. Note: You don't get to take these home.

Bonus flamingo fact: The funky, backward-bending “knee” of a flamingo’s leg isn’t really its knee. It’s the ankle. The knee is closer to the bird’s body and isn’t visible because of the feathers. This blog totally just won you a bar bet.

There are everyday gifts (yawn), then there are Las Vegas gifts (yipee!).

Yesterday, we received the amazing gift below, purchased at Whiskey Run, one of the shops at Imperial Palace. (Yes, there are shops at Imperial Palace.)

No, we didn't make it appear larger in Photoshop. What would we know about making things larger in Photoshop? And why are you interrogating us like this?

This awesome gift, a mere $4.75, involves several of this blog’s favorite things.

First, Rice Krispie Treats. Although it’s not called that. On the packaging, they’re called “Coated Crisped Rice Treats.” Yay, lawyers! Ultimately, though, this treat is a gigantic Rice Krispie Treat, arguably the greatest invention since spiced rum.

Also one of our favorite things: The “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. We’ve posted a lot in this blog about the most recognizable sign in the world, including the fact it was never copyrighted, which means it has been put on just about everything, including key chains, coffee mugs, dice, mouse pads and, yes, even Coated Crisped Rice Treats.

In Vegas, size matters, so please note this bad boy is a whopping four inches across, and three inches deep and 2.5 inches tall, making it roughly the size of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Yes, this blog has tools, and we're not afraid to use them.

The package says the monster of a treat is two servings, at 390 calories each. Not that we’re counting. Las Vegas is not a place for “counting calories” or “acting prudently” or “not having a coronary.” Vegas is all about letting loose and throwing caution to the wind.

Bottom line: We love Las Vegas so much, we could just eat it up! No. Literally. We just ate it up. We’d have saved you some, but, you know, our research has to be exhaustive.
