Reality TV siren, Laura Croft, celebrated her birthday with a delectable dinner at Sugar Factory American Brasserie (www.SugarFactory.com) at Paris Las Vegas last night.

The party princess, sporting a Betsey Johnson dress, was surrounded by close friends as the group devoured mouthwatering Monte Cristo sandwiches, bruschetta and savory steak frites. There was no shortage of libations as the table sipped Dom Perignon champagne and red velvet martinis.

When asked what she wanted most for her birthday, Croft stated a Hello Kitty bicycle was at the top of her list.

Following her birthday bites, Croft snuck over to the flagship Sugar Factory retail store to score sweets for the night. Gummy worms and chocolate-covered pretzels were the go-to confections for the Vegas vixen, who grabbed a handful of Sugar Factory’s signature Couture Pops for her party posse as she headed out for the night.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, the Playboy Playmate is hoping for “diamonds, always diamonds” from her special someone.

Also spotted at the sweet spot were UFC champs Frank Mir and Jon ‘Bones’ Jones, along with Baltimore Ravens defensive end, Arthur Jones. The table devoured an over-the-top “King Kong” ice cream sundae, along with Sugar Factory’s must-have “Make a Wish” milkshakes.

Sugar Factory American Brasserie is an American take on traditional French brasserie, serving delicious cuisine all day, and all night, along with an over-sized retail store and signature Chocolate Lounge. Other Sugar Factory retail stores are located at The Mirage and Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. Follow Sugar Factory on Twitter @sugarfactory or on Facebook atfacebook.sugarfactory.com.

Palms’ new DJ duo will perform nine exclusive Vegas dates at the Palms in 2012 beginning Feb. 14 

Known for delivering unparalleled nightlife experiences, Palms Casino Resort and 9 Group Las Vegas are thrilled to add Disco Fries to their list of 2012 residents.  The pair kicks off their exclusive Vegas residency with an unforgettable DJ set on Tuesday, Feb. 14 inside Moon Nightclub. Disco Fries members Nick Ditri and Danny Danger will continue to bring fresh new material and hot dance remixes throughout 2012 with eight additional performances throughout nightlife venues inside the Palms.

“We are very excited about our new partnership with 9 Group Las Vegas and the Palms. Our goal is to create an environment at our events where every guest escapes the ordinary, and is lifted off into a high-energy experience,” said Ditri.

“To us, the Palms represents everything we bring to our sets. It’s always an evolving atmosphere in every venue within the property and that’s what we aim to achieve with our music. It’s all about keeping it fresh,” said Danger.

With the successful release of their first official single “Killer,” performances all over the world, and countless chart- topping remixes to their name, 2011 was a huge year for the Disco Fries. The duo created a name for themselves since joining forces in 2008 while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. The following year, Danny Danger and Nick Ditri landed their first big break when they were asked to remix Flo Rida’s “Sugar” for Atlantic Records. The song raced up the Billboard charts, eventually becoming certified Platinum, and the Disco Fries’ career was in motion.

The Disco Fries have lent their signature sound to artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Usher, Pitbull, Chris Brown, Mike Posner, Steve Aoki, and Cobra Starship. In 2010, their remix of Far East Movement’s “Like A G6” garnered massive support and racked up over 1.5 million views on YouTube. While working on their new original releases, the duo continues to remix major label artists, including their most recent work for Flo Rida’s “Good Feeling” (produced by Dr. Luke and Avicii) and Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like How It Feels” (featuring Pitbull). Katy Perry handpicked the Disco Fries and Tommie Sunshine for their remix of her sixth single “The One That Got Away.”

The Disco Fries continue to grow and develop their sound without restricting any specific genre as they explore new sounds and ideas. With many exciting releases on the horizon, 2012 is shaping up to be a prodigious year for this talented duo.

“The Disco Fries are incredible music innovators. We admire their uniqueness they bring to the industry, and we feel lucky to showcase their talent at the Palms,” said Jon Gray, Vice President and General Manager of 9 Group Las Vegas.” They offer the right energy and sound for our venues; we look forward to a great year with them.”

Additional performance dates for the Disco Fries at the Palms Casino Resort will be announced.  To purchase tickets and for more information, visitwww.n9negroup.com.
