The Parlay

Watch: Peepshow Opening

Starts up in March at Planet Hollywood, 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South; 702.791.7827

This burlesque trots out twenty naughtily dressed dancers, lavishly twisted fairytale sets, and an all-female band to tell the story of how the "Peep Diva" (Mel B, aka Scary Spice) helps "Bo Peep" (Kelly Monaco) transform from a shy, timid shepherdess into a cleavage-wielding, hip-thrusting, strip-teasing sex kitten, just like her mentor. It's lonely at the top, Scary Spice.

Play: Rock Band Competition

Harrah's is offering the marginally talented a stupendous opportunity: sign up your fake band, pick a number from a preset song list (Metallica, Alice in Chains, Chili Peppers, etc), then faux-jam your way through a series of local, regional, and national competitions to win a trip to Atlantic City, where your "band" will open for the B-52s at the House of Blues, and receive $10,000 -- which you'll immediately blow on mock-tails and candy cigarettes.

Sign-up starts March 1st. More info at Harrahs.com

Drive: Eminence Car Rentals Monthly Specials

6611 Schuster Street St; 702.407.1967

Since times are tough for everyone, each month, Eminence picks a different luxury ride from its fleet of Lambos, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Maseratis, Bentleys, and Porsches, and slashes serious cash off the day-rental rate. This month: a Gallardo Spyder for $1,499, which still sounds outrageous, but is actually down $400 from the regular price (what were you expecting, a Valpak coupon?).

Stay: $25 Rooms at Stratosphere

2000 Las Vegas Blvd. South; 702.380.7777

The northernmost Vegas icon is offering absurdly southern rates, plus package deals including free room upgrades, 2-for-1 show tickets, and tickets to thrill rides like "Insanity", which takes you 64 feet over the edge of the famous Tower and spins you with 3 G's of force -- so they're compensating for the cheap rooms by shaking the change out of your pocket.
