Rio_VooDoo_Skyline.jpg

The Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino has announced a new thrill ride. The VooDoo Skyline will allow guests to zipline from the top of the VooDoo Lounge to the adjacent Ipanema tower.

The VooDoo Lounge is located at the top of the 50 story Masquerade tower, so riders will zip 800 feet to the finish line and go as fast as 33 miles per hour.

The zipline allows for two riders at a time and in a unique finish, when they're done guests will be zipped back to the VooDoo Lounge backwards.

No price has been announced yet for VooDoo Skyline, however it is set to open in late summer. Hours will be seven days a week 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.

So what do you think? Are you the kind of risk taker who thinks this sounds amazing or do you prefer to keep your feet on solid ground?

weezer_lv.JPG

When summer hits Las Vegas it becomes all pool parties all the time. One of the city's newest resort's has an all-star lineup planned this year.

The Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan has a performance from Weezer Saturday, July 27 at 8 p.m.

Weezer is one of the iGuide team's favorite bands so we could talk about their awesomeness all day. However, imagine seeing Rivers and the guys poolside, even better right?

Frankly, it's not really summer until I hear "Island in the Sun" (and "Summertime" by Dj Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince).

Tickets for the event are just $50 through Ticketmaster. That's the price of a few hands of blackjack or spins of roulette.

Weezer will also perform locally during the OC Fair at The Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa Friday, July 26. Tickets for the 8:15 show are available through Ticketmaster for $39.50, $59.50 and $69.50.

Other big names playing The Cosmopolitan this summer include The Offspring, NeYo, Blink 182 and Kendrick Lamar.

SAN MANUEL: Keith Sweat is back June 27

|

keithsweat_sm.JPG

R&B crooner Keith Sweat returns to the Inland area with a show at San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino Thursday, June 27.

Sweat gained popularity in the '80s and '90s with a series of provocative love songs including "Make it Last Forever," "Nobody" and "I'll Give All My Love to You."

He was also a member of the R&B supergroup LSG with Gerald Levert and Johhny Gill.

I've seen Sweat in concert a few times and he never disappoints. He sings all the hits and constantly keeps the crowd involved.

During one show, his female singer was sick, so when it was time to sing his hit duet "Make it Last Forever," the audience sang the female part never missing a single note.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. are available through Ticketmaster for $40.
