Peter
Morton’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas
was the happening hot spot this weekend as the Hotel & Casino
presented the Ultimate Concert Weekend, with activities taking place
in and around the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from Friday through
Saturday.
Friday, July 18th kicked off the weekend, with Elvis Costello
performing at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Costello’s
show was opened by Chris Robinson, who was cheered
on by wife Kate Hudson and her family, mom Goldie
Hawn, Kurt Russell, brother Oliver and friend,
actress Sara Foster. Celebs and loyal fans rocked
the house, while a rowdier crowd was gathering poolside at the Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino to catch a glimpse of Camp Freddy,
who performed with R&B/alternative diva Macy Gray.
(Camp Freddy band-member Dave Navarro was absent
due to his Lollapalooza tour.) Celebrities such as Rachel
Hunter, Ione Skye, Drea DeMatteo, Jared Leto, and socialite
Tatiana Von Furstenberg were among the boldfaced
names to attend the concert and party it up at the exclusive VIP after
party at the Hotel & Casino’s “Baby’s Nightclub.”

Duran was on everybody’s minds. The band, who hadn’t
performed together in 18 years, got the crowd going with all of their
classic hits.
