a little vegas gossip.

Admittedly, I'm not very good at culling the papers for gossip, but here's what I found in Norm Clarke's Las Vegas Confidential column in the Review Journal:

Wayne Newton has met with Anthony Michael Hall and has agreed to do his film, "Life and Death in Las Vegas," said Newton's publicist, Trish McCrone. She added, for clarification, that Newton "will not be playing himself; he will be a fictional character who screws people out of their inheritance."...

"Phew....I was worried!"

"All we are saying is give peace ... ."

A truce has been called in the heated nightclub war between local giants Pure and Tao.

"We've made peace," said Rich Wolf, one of the owners of New York-based Tao, which opened at The Venetian last September. Wolf and business partner Jason Strauss met with Pure Management Group's Robert Frey and Steve Davidovici last week.

"It's like a 'Godfather' movie," Wolf said. "It's bad business to be at war and good business to be friends."
