Your Weekend Planner: Mariah, Foxx, Dane, RenFair, Motorhead, Motocross and more

This week in Vegas: Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Dane Cook, RenFair, Motorhead, Motocross, new movies and where to eat.

 

Here's more details on everything, from today's Review-Journal:

• Carmen Electra dances topless again in one of my favorite shows on the Strip, "MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris." A few months ago, I saw Carmen debut in the artful nudie revue, which appeals to both women and men. She was quite good. The regular dancers were fantastic as usual. Carmen is doing two shows a night, today-Monday and Wednesday-Oct. 17 ($75 or $125 for meet-and-greet tickets; 891-7777).

• Justin Timberlake teaches golf to kids at 2 p.m. Sunday at TPC Summerlin; and his Shriners Hospitals for Children Open tees off Monday-Oct. 18 at TPC ($10-$110; 873-1010).

PRE-SIGHTINGS: Mario Lopez walks a birthday red carpet at 11:30 p.m. today at the Bank at Bellagio. Nick Cannon (probably with wife Mariah Carey) does a midnight carpet Saturday at the Bank. Holly Montag strolls an 11:45 p.m. Sunday carpet at the Bank. Armin van Buuren DJs late Saturday at the Palms club Rain.

• Fright Dome resumes this weekend at Circus Circus, featuring five haunted houses (including "Saw" houses), 23 rides and gory characters galore, walking around trying to creep you out. I went last week. It was a blast. It runs half-weeks through Halloween ($35; 794-3939).

See Neon for more on haunted houses in parking lots of New York-New York, Texas Station, Boca Park and elsewhere.

• Supercross and Lite riders compete at the 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open today-Sunday at MGM Grand Garden arena ($30-$105).

RENFAIR!: The Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival (with jousting!) today-Sunday at Sunset Park ($10 or $5 for seniors; kids under 13 free). Meanwhile, Oktoberfest barrels into the Resort at Mount Charleston on Sunday.

• And Road Warrior columnist Adrienne Packer and I compete against Mayor Oscar Goodman and others, as we ride bikes through an obstacle course while making faux martinis at 6 p.m. today on Fremont Street in front of Golden Nugget.
