Strip Tips: Memorial Day weekend festivities and more

Tattoo artist Mario Barth plans to open a new tattoo shop at The Mirage this month.

Barth owns two Starlight Tattoo shops in New Jersey. He opened a shop at Mandalay Bay in 2008. For the past four years, he has hosted the Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth at The Mirage.

His newest Starlight Tattoo, a 1,248-square-foot shop, will be in The Mirage’s retail promenade.

‘Fantasy’ is reality

Performers from “Fantasy” will kick off Memorial Day festivities Friday at the Rockhouse in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian. At 8 p.m., the cast members from the show at Luxor will ride the mechanical bull and enjoy some drink specials. If they are wearing bathing suits, they can enjoy the $10 “Bottomless Bikini Bar,” a new promotional for women in pool-side attire. The Bottomless Bikini Bar is open from 6 to 10 p.m. daily.
