4 Oscars parties you can go to in Las Vegas

You may not have scored invitations to the Governors Ball or any of the other official swanky Oscar-night parties, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get dressed up and have some fun.

From watching Sunday’s awards on big screens at Brenden Theatres at the Palms and the Wynn Las Vegas sports book to more intimate gatherings at Caesars Palace and The Cromwell, locals have several options for celebrating Hollywood’s biggest night in style.

“Variety Salutes Hollywood,” the annual fundraiser for Variety The Children’s Charity, will feature a red carpet for attendees to walk down alongside magicians Lance Burton, Mac King, Murray Sawchuck and the casts of Chippendales and “Fantasy,” as well as other local celebrities. The red carpet and broadcast of the Oscars pre-show begin at 4 p.m at Brenden Theatres at the Palm. Tickets are $25 and include $25 in theater concessions. VIP tickets are $200 and include a special menu created by DW Bistro. For tickets and more information, see www.VarietySN.org.
