BUD GARDEN The French might take issue with Las Vegas come January, when Anheuser-Busch’s Beer Park by Budweiser opens at Paris Las Vegas in the shadow of the hotel’s half-scale Eiffel Tower.

While the restaurant’s placement might appear odd, it’s unquestionably Las Vegas—and who doesn’t want another party patio for soaking up the Strip’s many cultural mashups?
PORN ELITE Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay … Best Double Penetration Sex Scene? Congratulations are in order for hundreds of adult-film actors and executives, as Adult Video News announced the nominations for its 2016 AVN Awards—often called the Oscars of Porn—November 19.

We say blasphemy, and we’ll take extra onions on top.
