Hot Vegas

The Oakland A's are now one step closer to becoming the Las Vegas A's ... MLB owners just gave their resounding stamp of approval on the team's potential move to Sin City.

All 30 of the league's bosses voted on the Athletics' relocation plans in Arlington, Texas on Thursday morning ... and not a single one disapproved -- paving the way for the team to now pack its bags and send them to Nevada.

Of course, there are plenty of other hoops the team must jump through in order to officially relocate ... namely, the org. must secure funds to build a $1.5 billion stadium on the Vegas Strip. But, it seems all of that is mere formality at this point.

The news is a crushing one for Bay Area fans ... who did all they could to try to sway MLB owners before Thursday's vote, including flying a plane over the owners' meeting earlier this week with a banner that read "A's belong in Oakland - #VoteNo."

The at least somewhat good news for Oakland supporters? The team could still remain in its current city for a while.

A Vegas stadium is not expected to be erected until January 2028 -- meaning staying in the Coliseum for the next four seasons is an option on the table.

If and when the A's officially move, however, it'll be historic ... only one other team has relocated in the last five or so decades -- the Montreal Expos, who bolted to D.C. in 2005.

No hay nada mejor que un poco de competencia para que los miembros de su equipo de hospitalidad y cuidado se comparen con otros profesionales del sector, y si no que se lo pregunten a los atletas de las Olimpiadas de Limpieza de este año.

Un nuevo lote de aspirantes llegó a Las Vegas el fin de semana para la 33ª edición anual de la IEHA Housekeeping Olimpiadas, que regresó por primera vez en cuatro años debido a la pandemia.

Como era de esperar, no fue una competencia fácil para los participantes, que vinieron de todas partes de América del Norte para demostrar sus habilidades domésticas en el Mandalay Bay Michelob Ultra Arena, el que se convirtió en un campo de batalla de escobas, camas, aspiradoras y cubetas para trapear.

Los competidores deslumbraron en tareas como carreras de aspiradoras, tendido de camas y relevos de trapo, por nombrar solo algunas.

El Director Ejecutivo de la IEHA, Michael Patterson, cree que el evento saca a la luz las mejores prácticas, técnicas e innovaciones en este campo, al mismo tiempo que realza el objetivo de mostrar el impacto global de la excelencia dentro de la industria de la limpieza.

Nothing better than a little competition to make sure your hospitality and care team members stack up to other professionals in the biz ... just ask this year's athletes at the Housekeeping Olympics.

A fresh batch of hopefuls hit Vegas over the weekend for the 33rd annual IEHA Housekeeping Olympics ... which returned for the first time in four years due to the pandemic.

As expected, it was no clean sweep for participants, who came from all over North America to flex their domestic skills at Mandalay Bay's Michelob Ultra Arena ... which became a battlefield of brooms, beds, vacuums and buckets.

Competitors dazzled in tasks such as vacuum racing, bed-making and mop relay ... just to name a few.

IEHA Executive Director Michael Patterson believes the event brings to light the best practices, techniques, and innovations in the field while also buffing up the goal of showing the global impact of excellence within the cleaning industry.

Formula 1's biggest stars can find out why it's called Sin City this weekend ... 'cause one Nevada brothel is opening its doors and offering each driver free sex ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix!!

TMZ Sports is told ... famous Chicken Ranch brothel workers Addison Gray and Alice Little are really excited to welcome the race to their home turf for the first time since 1982 ... and they want to make sure every driver leaves Vegas happy.

We're told the licensed sex workers are offering a special one-on-one session at no charge for all the guys on the grid ... just in case they want to see some action prior to Saturday's race.

"It’s Formula 1 fever in Las Vegas this month and we’re all psyched up for the big event," Little told us.

"Any driver that wants to get their hearts racing and celebrate the F1 with me and Addison will be treated to 100% complimentary coitus."

Drivers aren't the only ones gettin' perks -- Gray and Little said they're also giving a 50% off deal for anyone flocking to the desert for the festivities.

"Our discount will help Vegas visitors and residents blow off some steam with a couple of generous ladies so that they can chill out during race week," Little said.

"Everyone who made F1 in Vegas possible deserves a break, and we’re here to provide some well-oiled appreciation."

Gray said the Grand Prix also needs a little bit of spice anyway ... especially since they stopped using Grid Girls years ago.

"Since Formula 1 banned their fabulous grid girls in 2018, the events have been overwhelmingly lacking in much-needed sex appeal," Gray said.

"Our discount isn't just a gesture of love for F1; it's an invitation for fans to revel in an experience where sex appeal is celebrated, not sidelined. Because in our world, glamour isn't forbidden; it's the star of the show!"

Perhaps life on Injured Reserve ain't that bad ... while his Jets teammates were resting up Saturday night before the 'SNF' game against the Raiders, Aaron Rodgers was sipping bourbon and puffing cigars at a fancy lounge in Sin City!

TMZ Sports is told the 4x NFL MVP hit up Eight Cigar lounge at Resorts World this weekend, where we're told he drank Blanton's Gold Edition Kentucky Bourbon and smoked a My Father The Judge cigar, while hanging out and enjoying himself.

Of course, Aaron was in town for the Jets-Raiders game on Sunday night. Rodgers obviously isn't playing (he's gunning to return to the field in mid-December), so Saturday night was his time to go out and have some fun.

Blanton's Gold is a 103-proof, single-barrel bourbon whiskey that's highly regarded by purists ... and it isn't cheap. A bottle could run near $300 at the liquor store, and much more in a high-end spot like Eight.

The My Father The Judge cigar -- handmade in Nicaragua and boasting -- is high quality, too. The stogie is described as medium to full-bodied with notes of leather, cedar, toasted almonds, and sweet cocoa.

Blueface was roasted online for proudly showing off his new fiancée Jaidyn Alexis' home cooking ... which had culinary critics mocking the millionaire for eating like he was "living paycheck to paycheck."

Digging into homemade pasta topped with cheese singles and a basic side shredded salad, the rapper likely didn't expect to be dragged by online foodies ... who schooled him on shredded cheese and real, non-plastic plates for a more indulgent dining experience.

The salad wasn't let off the hook either, as one person likened it to old pencil shavings -- while others simply encouraged Blueface to "throw away the whole stove and whatever else she used to make this concoction." Ouch.

In one statement that hit a little close to home ... someone wrote, "I see why he cheats," in reference to his turbulent relationship with ex-Chrisean Rock.

Elsewhere, the home cooking was branded as "prison food," ... which Blueface may get all too familiar with if he breaks the terms of his 3-year probation for a Vegas shooting.

Katy Perry had the time of her life after closing the curtain on her Las Vegas residency ... living it up with her boo, Orlando Bloom, at The Chainsmokers' concert.

Orlando and Katy were groovin' Saturday night at the DJ duo's residency at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas ... the "Firework" singer was really feelin' the music, grabbing the mic and singing along to the track -- even if she didn't totally nail the lyrics.

It appears KP had a couple of drinks in her, having some playful fun with 1/2 of the Chainsmokers crew, Drew Taggart -- but hey, she's earned it after closing a big chapter in her musical career.

For those unaware, Katy kicked off her Vegas residency at the end of 2021, putting on 80 shows at Resorts World Theatre. At her final show on Saturday, Katy called Orlando an amazing father and said her 3-year-old daughter, Daisy, was her "best friend."

Katy also teased the crowd after her last show ended -- a screen lowered that read, "See ya next year ..." hinting at more exciting things to come not just for the singer, but for the fans!

Katy Perry tuvo el mejor momento de su vida después de cerrar el telón de su residencia en Las Vegas. Asistió con su novio, Orlando Bloom, al concierto de The Chainsmokers.

Orlando y Katy estaban gozando el sábado por la noche en la residencia del dúo de DJs en el XS Nightclub en el interior del Wynn Las Vegas. La cantante de "Firework" estaba realmente sintiendo la música, agarrando el micrófono y cantando a todo pulmón (a pesar de que no le atinaba totalmente a las letras).

Parece que Katy había tomado un par de copas, y se posó el rato con la mitad de Chainsmokers, Drew Taggart. Se lo ganó luego de cerrar un gran capítulo en su carrera musical.

Para aquellos que no lo sepan, Katy inició su residencia en Las Vegas a finales de 2021, ofreciendo 80 shows en el Resorts World Theatre. En su show final el sábado, Katy llamó a Orlando un padre increíble y dijo que su hija de 3 años, Daisy, era su "mejor amiga".

Katy le dio un mensaje a la multitud después de su último show. Una pantalla bajó que decía: "Nos vemos el próximo año..." ¡Insinuando cosas emocionantes por venir tanto para ella como para los fans!

A famous strip club in Sin City is saluting active-duty military and veterans ... with free lap dances on Veterans Day!!!

Crazy Horse 3 in Las Vegas is offering one complimentary lap dance to folks who've served our country ... but the club tells us the deal is only good between noon and 6 PM this coming Saturday ... so don't procrastinate.

The gentlemen's club, located just down the street from Allegiant Stadium where the Las Vegas Raiders play, also has a Veterans Day deal for folks who didn't join the military ... we're told anyone over 21 years old with a Nevada identification can get in for free.

For military and veterans who haven't been to CH3 before ... it's been named one of the best strip clubs in Las Vegas by multiple news outlets, winning local awards for Best Bachelor Party Stop and Best Gentleman's Club.

In other words ... this is the Sin City version of the G.I. Bill -- and Crazy Horse 3 is here to take care of our vets.

Un famoso club de striptease en la Ciudad del Pecado está saludando a los militares en servicio activo y veteranos, ¡con bailes eróticos gratis el Día de los Veteranos!

Crazy Horse 3 en Las Vegas está ofreciendo un baile erótico de cortesía a las personas que han servido a nuestro país, pero el club nos dice que el acuerdo solo será válido entre el mediodía y las 6 PM este próximo sábado.

El club de caballeros, situado justo al final de la calle del Estadio Allegiant, donde juegan los Raiders de Las Vegas, también tiene una oferta del Día de los Veteranos para la gente que no se unió a los militares. Nos dicen que cualquier persona mayor de 21 años con una identificación de Nevada puede entrar gratis.

Para los militares y veteranos que no han estado en club antes, deben saber que ha sido nombrado uno de los mejores clubes de striptease en Las Vegas por varios medios de comunicación e incluso a ganando premios locales por la Mejor Despedida de Soltero y Mejor Club de Caballeros.

Teresa Giudice went full New Jersey alongside one of her 'RHONJ' costars after a fan poked the bear at BravoCon ... forcing them to tell this lady off in true trash reality TV fashion.

The 'Real Housewives' star was sharing the stage with Jennifer Aydin -- who's also on the show --- when someone in the audience asked them something out of pocket during a Q&A section Sunday in Vegas. The query wasn't very PG at all ... take a look for yourself.

You can tell this rubbed Teresa and Jen the wrong way ... 'cause they both stood up and started mouthing off to the audience member, telling her they're good friends and that they have each other's backs -- and NOT each other's "ass*****" as this woman suggested.

That wasn't the only drama that unfolded during this panel ... later on, Teresa revealed where she stood in her relationship with her estranged brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa ... basically admitting that they were not on good terms.

In a brutal swipe ... she added that her and Joe's parents were dead -- meaning, in her eyes, there's no reason to mend their relationship ... a response that got major boos.

One person she has kept in touch with, though ... her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, who now lives in the Bahamas after being deported from the States in 2019 for fraud. They're still tight, apparently.

Teresa went on to confirm her ex was doing great and that she'd be spending New Year's Eve with him in the Bahamas -- along with their daughters, of course ... as both she and Joe have respectively moved on to new significant others.

Teresa also expressed hopes for him to come back to the States because she believed he should not have gotten deported and "it wasn't fair what happened to him."

Tom Sandoval got the pariah treatment at BravoCon over what happened with Ariana Madix -- and while he had many detractors, he did have one key defender ... Lala Kent.

The 'Vanderpump' panel is underway in Vegas Friday as part of the weekend-long convention -- and as we all expected ... the dude walked out onstage to a chorus of boos from the audience, although it sounds like it might've been more fun booing ... if that's even a thing.

Anyway, Tom took it in stride and powered through his questions ... despite the fact that some continued to playfully hiss and jeer as he talked. He's a villain -- and he owns it.

Now, in terms of seating arrangement -- sources on the ground tell TMZ TS and his ex, Ariana Madix, weren't really anywhere near each other while they were up there ... however, we're told that wasn't necessarily done as a result of any sort of request from either of 'em.

In other words ... the higher-ups at Bravo appear to have just plopped the two of them where they ended up by mere chance, probably assuming there's still bad blood over the cheating.

There's certainly unfinished business between AM and Tom -- which was previewed in a sneak peek at Season 11 ... showing Ariana freaking out at somebody, who many have presumed to be Tom. In one particular moment in the trailer, she says ... "Ruin my life, my home, and then fucking attempt to kill my fucking dog. My lawyer will be dealing with you!"

On its face, it would seem she's talking to Tom here ... but time will tell if that's true.

Anyway ... during the Q&A panel, our sources tell us Lala went to bat for him in front of everyone -- telling the crowd they oughta have some respect for Tom considering he showed up, and continues to put himself out there with his band despite the backlash.

Of course, what's interesting about that lies in what Lala was saying about Tom earlier this year -- including during the reunion, where she was one of the fiercest ones dragging him.

We also got her on camera around that same time ... and there, she called Tom a narcissist.

Now, however, she seems to have changed her tune -- and appears to kinda be in his corner here. The two of them have been tight on the show for years now, so perhaps all the outrage fatigue finally kicked in on her end ... as it has for so many others as well.

BravoCon 2023 is in full swing, and soon -- the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" will hit the stage to talk shop ... but don't expect to see Rachel Leviss, 'cause she never got a reach-out.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the beleaguered reality star -- who was at the center of Scandoval last season -- was not approached by Bravo brass to attend their convention in Vegas this weekend ... which seems to just further cement her future with the franchise.

We're told not only was RL not invited ... but that she still isn't on speaking terms with any of the current cast members -- including her old flame, Tom Sandoval ... who is attending.

There's been a lot of speculation on Rachel's future involvement with 'Vanderpump' post-Scandoval -- but remember ... Rachel passed on returning for the current season -- which, BTW, is going to premiere in January ... something that was just announced in Sin City.

With no Rachel in the foreseeable future ... it's probably safe to assume that she's over it, 'cause it wouldn't make much sense for her to come back next season to address it all -- people will have almost certainly moved on by then, and the thunder will be long gone.

Her absence from BravoCon also appears to line up with how she's been operating since stepping away from cameras to deal with her mental health ... and from what we can tell, Rachel's turning the page to a new chapter in her life, one that's out of the spotlight.

Rachel's been laying low in Arizona for a while now ... whereas the other 'VP' folks have been very much doing their jobs in L.A. -- including Tom, who's been out and about a lot.

Speaking of him ... he actually dished on how he was feeling ahead of BravoCon this past week, and as you can imagine -- the dude's nervous to share the stage with Ariana Madix.

Tom Sandoval is only hours away from taking the stage with his ex Ariana Madix at BravoCon 2023 ... months after the fallout from his affair with costar Rachel Leviss dominated headlines.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star got candid about this weekend's upcoming Vegas convention -- already (rightfully) predicting a hostile reception from fans who would show their loyalty to #TeamAriana.

Speaking to his pal and costar Tom Schwartz on his ironically-named podcast "Everybody Loves Tom," he added that he was feeling nervous about the impending event.

The former couple's reunion will undoubtedly be awkward ... not just for the exes but for their Bravo costars Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney and James Kennedy, who'll join them onstage for their scheduled panel on Friday.

Tom's affair was one of the biggest celebrity controversies of the year ... dubbed #Scandoval by horrified 'VR' fans after TMZ first broke the story.

Even Rachel -- who initially appeared to stand beside Tom during the repercussions -- has finally seen the light of day and walked away from him.

She recently sold a necklace and some sweatshirts with connections to the Sandoval, and will not appear on the next season of the show ... stepping away to focus on her mental health.
