Party: Playhouse

6506 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood; 323.656.4800

This new nightclub's envisioned as "Vegas-in-Hollywood", with 30-foot ceilings, 15 chandeliers dangling over the massive mid-room circular bar, and scantily-clad servers doubling as aerialists, trapeze artists, and contortionists. To get you in the door, the club's also offering unusual incentives, including to-and-from-club transpo, a rotating free shot w/ bottle service, 50% off the door price with a receipt from a taxi/bus/subway, and (starting next month) further shuttle service from nearby lots, because what happens in "Vegas-in-Hollywood" stays in a parking lot where you can't find your car.

Go: Lou Beach/Hudson Marquez/Jayme Odgers/Mel Weiner Art Show

Jul 11-Aug 1 at Billy Shire Fine Arts: 5790 Washington Blvd, Culver City; 323.297.0600

Hit the open bar during opening night of this wildly eclectic art show, which features massive mosaics of Sugar Ray Leonard and Cassius Clay, typographically-themed paintings from a guy who did an official poster for LA's 1984 Olympics, surrealism from one of Weird Al's album-cover artists, and cartoonish self-portraits from one of the originators of reality TV, which you'll look at in disgust but nonetheless record the series.

Buy: Renegade Craft Fair

Sat-Sun at California Market Center: 110 E 9th St, Downtown; 213.630.3600

Already a hit in Chi and Brooklyn, this event brings together 200 off-the-wall clothiers and gift-makers to peddle their uniqueness, with wares including 3 Fish Studio's wall-art prints of line-drawn robots, Poketo's colorful wallets, and ridiculous winged bulldog tees from Mis Nopales. There's also a slew of mini-events and performances, with a bring-your-own-crap-to-sell swap meet on Saturday and a show on Sunday from a live jazz-punk marching band, so, see you there Saturday!

Grill: Stainless Steel Notebook Grill 2.0

Just now available in stainless steel, this charcoal grill's got a hefty 250sqin cooking surface (enough for 6 burgers), folds up for easy portability, and weighs in at only 9lbs, which is only one pound more than the human head, according to adorable, out-of work actor Jonathan Lipnicki!
