<p>According to official documents, the title to <strong>Neverland</strong> was transferred&nbsp; to a company called <strong>Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC</strong>. Now here's where the plot thickens.<br /><br /><strong>Sycamore</strong> is a joint venture between <strong>Michael Jackson</strong> and a division of a company called <strong>Colony Capital.

Will <strong>Jacko </strong>perform at <strong>Barrack's</strong> hotel? Stay tuned.<br /><br />BTW, the property will <strong>NOT BE CALLED NEVERLAND ANYMORE.</strong> It will be renamed the <strong>Sycamore Valley Ranch</strong>, in an attempt to erase those pesky child molestation rumors, even though Jackson was criminally acquitted.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://thevegaseye.com/home/rss-comments-entry-2613129.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>ASHLEE SIMPSON &amp; PETE WENTZ NEW YEARS BASH</title><dc:creator>POLITZ</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:49:38 +0000</pubDate><link>http://thevegaseye.com/home/2008/11/26/ashlee-simpson-pete-wentz-new-years-bash.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">167090:1581079:2613097</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><br /><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://thevegaseye.com/storage/Ashlee_Simpson_Blender1.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1227740107585" alt="" width="196" height="266" /></span></span>What:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>PURE Nightclub </strong>will be overflowing with energy and excitement on <strong>Wednesday, December 31</strong> as <strong>Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz</strong> take over The Strip&rsquo;s top night spot to host an exhilarating New Year&rsquo;s Eve celebration.&nbsp; The talented twosome will spearhead a very special club-wide countdown to midnight as fireworks sizzle above the Sin City skyline.

<p>A year ago the world lost Kevin Debrow, best known as the gravelly voice of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot since 1973. DuBrow&rsquo;s music evolved from an early love of British rock acts that included Rod Stewart and Humble Pie among others. He favored suspenders and hats, splashy antics and no-holds-barred banter. As Quiet Riot changed in membership and style, Kevin with his stripped mic stand was the persistent driving force in the group&rsquo;s uninhibited aggressiveness and success.<br /><br />Sometimes during concerts he dressed up in a straightjacket and metal face mask to appear as Quiet Riot&rsquo;s mascot, which is on the covers of almost all the group&rsquo;s albums.<br /><br />Quiet Riot is credited with helping start the 1980s glam-metal scene and is probably best known for its rendition of&nbsp; Slades, &ldquo;Cum On Feel the Noize,&rdquo; which appeared on &ldquo;Metal Health&rdquo; album and eventually spent two weeks at No. 5 on Billboard&rsquo;s list of hits. The album sold more than 4 million copies and isconsidered by many to be the first heavy-metal record to climb high in the pop charts.<br /><br />Although other metal bands get the lion&rsquo;s share of credit for popularizing pop metal in the 1980s, the first band of the genre to break through to a massive audience was Quiet Riot.&nbsp; Las Vegas has missed Dubrow and we his friends have a loss in our lives that could never be filled. <br /></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://thevegaseye.com/home/rss-comments-entry-2605435.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>MLG Las Vegas 2008 National Championships</title><dc:creator>POLITZ</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:38:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://thevegaseye.com/home/2008/11/21/mlg-las-vegas-2008-national-championships.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">167090:1581079:2595930</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://thevegaseye.com/storage/MLG_LOGO.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1227300251386" alt="" /></span></span>Nov. 21&ndash; 22,</strong> Las Vegas has played host to the <strong>MLG National Championships</strong> for the past two years, and has proven itself the ideal place to crown a <strong>National Champion in Halo 3, Gears of War,</strong> and <strong>Rainbow Six Vegas 2</strong>.
