Eight
days of partying and our hearts are still beating!
POSTED
6/25/2007 by columnist Jack Colton.
Most would agree that it takes somewhat of a brave soul to endure
any more than just a couple of nights of true ‘Vegas Partying,’
so when the crews from Jack Colton and NapkinNights
set out on what eventually turned into an eight night (and day)
celebration at many of the top nightclub venues throughout Las
Vegas – no one was quite sure what exactly would happen.
Rumors of possible jail time, trips to the hospital ward, and
presence in more than a few hundred scandalous photos
were all merely an assumption of what was to come. While most
of us lucked out in the end, we in invite you to check out the
play-by-play account of the main eight events!
Night
#1: "Will bowl for photos."
POSTED

The
first of the many celebrations brought us to Lucky Strike
Bowling Center inside the Rio Hotel and Casino.
And when bowling at an alley that has nightclub elements infused
throughout its very core, it doesn’t seem that outrageous
when a gentleman with a big microphone walks up and politely asks
“Excuse me Mr. Colton, Pee-Wee Herman would like to
take a picture with you!” Or even you are making a
vain attempt at knocking down some extra pins when your attention
is suddenly taken a back as you look over in disbelief to see
a balloon artist shove an ENTIRE foot and a half long balloon
straight down his throat (and it probably goes without saying
that guys everywhere wish he could teach their girlfriends
a thing or two).
Photoshoots, drunken bowling, imposter b-list celebrities, and
witnessing contorted balloon fellatio throughout the night all
made for a great time at Lucky Strike, and certainly this was
merely a sign of things to come for the week.
A special thanks to Greg Jarmolowich, Michael
Greco, and Steve Davidovici for their
efforts and consideration for Monday night’s event. Lucky
Strike Bowling Center is open weekly 7 days a week from 11:00am
- 3:00 am.
Night
# 1.5: "Celebrations like this could get you dis-owned...."

On
the night that Tracy Lee and I did the photo
shoots (naturally, at the very last minute) for each of these
parties, she very inconveniently had scheduled a dinner date later
in the night. And as things go, this forced us to shoot all eight
different pictures with eight changes of clothes in under
30 minutes! Run up the stairs, run back down, flash, flash, flash,
and do it all over again. And with that many poses in such short
of a period of time, it was fairly easy to break a solid sweat.
And, as you can see, even easier to run out of ideas for creative
pictures!
There were a couple of shots that just were taken as a joke, and
of course the REAL ones were only going in magazines, billboards,
and a few hundred thousand flyers. No big deal, right?
So
when the flyer for our party at JET
Nightclub came out featuring a picture that I hadn't in my
wildest dreams thought anyone would have actually used, it didn’t
take long for me to get an angry phone call from my mother claiming
that “your enemies and friends would absolutely crucify
you if they see this picture of a ‘jumping and skipping’
Jack Colton.” She told me "As I mother I put up with
a lot of things from you. The constant clubbing and being surrounded
by strippers and porn stars doesn't bother me in the slightest,
but even a 'mother's love' has its limits!"
Fortunately, enemies and friends alike (as well as a few thousand
strangers) showed up to JET
Nightclub as we continued to celebrate the re-launch of our
websites. Tracy had her mobile photo studio setup to give anyone
and everyone a professional photoshoot with JET
as the backdrop, and she was able to take a few hundred pictures
as our group downed about six bottles of Grey Goose Vodka
(which, as we soon found out, was a common trend for the week).
Most common line heard throughout the night? “Ohhhh,
that’s going on MySpace!!!”
A
big thanks to Steven Lockwood, Jake Saady,
Andrew Sasoon, and Andy Masi for
all of their efforts and considerations for this event. JET
Nightclub is open weekly on Friday, Saturday, and for their
popular locals night each Monday (which is a solid choice if you're
in town and looking to go out on a Monday night).
For table reservation and general questions about JET, please

their host Bryce Olsen, or reach him by phone at 702-612-2242.
Night
# 2: "You know you've made it big time when....."

Paris
Hilton, Britney Spears, and Nelly Furtado
are but a few of the major A-List names that have hosted nights
at PURE Nightclub over
the past year. So when they invited Tracy and I to host the venue
in celebration of our re-launches - it was certainly quite the
honor. As we arrived separately to get the night’s festivities
abound, I gathered up my group of fifteen close friends just near
the club and made our way towards the now growing mass of people
fighting to get the attention of their VIP host along the guest
list side of the rope. While it would have certainly been easier
to simply call someone by phone and let them know we had arrived
(undoubtedly as any other event host would have done), I was in
a good mood and thought it would be funny to walk up to a security
guard who would probably have a snow-balls chance in hell of recognizing
me from the flyers and say to him “Hello, so I’m
here to host tonight’s party!”
Security
guards are often hit up with an array of the most ridiculous stories
and the infamously stupid ‘don’t you know who I am?’
lines throughout the night. And in spite of the fact that we were
standing merely feet away from a huge poster with my face on it,
it wasn't entirely unexpected when he sarcastically replied “which
party, we have several tonight?” After realizing I wasn't
just trying to skip the line with a BS story, we both laughed
a bit and he kindly escorted our group past the line and into
the club.
Once
we arrived at our main floor table inside PURE, we found
Tracy Lee with her hands full as a pack of rowdy Canadians
were putting her mothering skills directly to the test. We heard
her screaming “stop jumping on the booth, don’t throw
cake, alright now apologize for throwing the cake, put your pants
back on, stop throwing ice!” While we firmly stand by the
mantra that it’s never a good party unless you have at least
a few partially-clothed girls covered in cake jumping on your
booth, this might not have been the most appropriate thing to
do inside of PURE Nightclub.
A special thanks to Greg Jarmolowich, Michael
Greco, Steve Davidovici, and
Steven Klamaski for their efforts in hosting and promoting
Tuesday night’s event. PURE
Nightclub is open weekly Friday, Saturday, and for their locals
night on Tuesday.

reservations at PURE Nightclub, please contact Shawn Olyaie
of Pure Management directly: Shawn@purelv.com

Night # 3: "So could you back away from that, please?"
POSTED
6/25/2007 by columnist Jack Colton.
Most
people know by now that LURE Ultra_Lounge, one
of the most lavishly decorated venues in town, will soon be shut
down and completely gutted to the core as they make room for Steve
Wynn and Sean Christie’s new masterpiece
venue. With that in mind I, like many, couldn’t help but
to constantly be thinking throughout the night about what the
hell they are going to be doing with all of the furniture and
décor from LURE after they tear it out? This is seriously
some nice stuff! Who do we need to pay? Should we schedule a time
to go dumpster diving?
Regardless,
Lure turned out to be the perfect venue for our Wednesday night
celebration and one of the absolute best nightclub environments
for Tracy to setup her mobile photoshoot studio in.
All
was going well for our night at LURE until an incredibly inebriated
girl decided that she would try and take a picture in front of
the JACKCOLTON | NapkinNights “Step and
Repeat” (the big wall of logos). I helplessly watched as
this girl fell slightly to the left, then slightly to the right,
and then fully CRASHED all the way through our signage –
knocking it down and destroying it in the process. We should have
known better as the photographer had just witnessed her licking
a cocktail waitress only moments before!
Drunkenness
aside, you’ve got exactly two weeks left to enjoy LURE
before they begin the six week long renovation process. Anticipated
opening date for the currently unnamed new club is August 31st,
and they are being more than tight lipped about the details (although
my ‘spy sources’ insist that it will be the complete
opposite of anything in mainstream Las Vegas nightlife of late).
