A few Wicked Whispers & Racy Rumors on this Tuesday:

Watch for a big entertainment announcement of a new Strip residency in the next 48 hours.

Keep April 13 next year clear for one of the largest entertainment extravaganzas ever headed to Las Vegas.

Cirque du Soleil has posted its new signs and wraps over the old Rum Jungle at Mandalay Bay announcing its new nightclub partnership there with the Light Group.

Which porn stars were slightly injured in an elaborate pool incident while filming a new adult movie here Monday at an anonymous millionaire’s mansion?

Which former girlfriend of a Las Vegas entertainer is offering a slew of sexy models to nightclubs here as “private escorts” for single, male high rollers?

What two rival nightclubs have indicated a need for “atmosphere models” to work as champagne hostesses?

Just how much money is the nightclub industry sucking out of the hotel and gaming economy? I’m hearing outrageous VIP table prices -- some as high as $30,000 --- and champagne bottle charges -- some as high as $5,000 -- that leaves nothing for visitors to spend at gaming tables, in restaurants, at shows and shopping.

It’s apparently so bad that some of the affected are behind in paying bills. The distressing news came to light with appallingly weak Labor Day numbers -- except for records broken at nightclubs.

Criss Angel survives 'the most dangerous and frightening thing I’ve ever done in my life'

June 18, 2013 • 2:25 p.m.

For 10 nail-biting minutes, several thousand people stood in total silence and watched magician Criss Angel inch his way, blindfolded, across two steel beams swaying 50 feet in the air. This was no illusion for the “Believe” star. No tricks, nothing hidden, no sleight of hand or wizardry to divert attention. The "Mindfreak" star, who is shooting a new series of one-hour specials for Spike TV, was in full view of the audience members, who stopped shopping at the Fashion Show mall on the Strip.
