Let’s pop some bottles during Bottle Mayhem!

As had been widely rumored for weeks, the Wynns have filed for divorce... for the second time.

Steve Wynn married Elaine in 1963, divorced in 1986, and remarried in 1991.

Announced yesterday, the divorce filing was made March 5 and papers were immediately sealed from the public, which means further details are unknown.

Also rumored is the possible cause of the breakup: that Wynn has fallen for a woman in her 40s.

The Persian Gulf is ever-expanding into Las Vegas.

Yesterday, regulators of Michigan gaming gave its approval for Dubai World to own as much as 15 percent of MGM Mirage.

Already Dubai World owns half of CityCenter, MGM Mirage's $8 billion mixed-use project underway between Bellagio and Monte Carlo scheduled to open by the end of 2009. Dubai World currently has almost 10 percent of MGM Mirage, with mutual plans to purchase up to 20 percent. They initially purchased 5 percent and have been increasing ownership ever since.

Unlike Nevada, Michigan gaming law requires approval if any investor own more than 10 percent. MGM Mirage recently opened MGM Grand in Detroit.

If you plan to see Monty Python's Spamalot at Wynn Las Vegas, you don't have much time.

After their contract ends July 13, the show will close and in February 2009 will be replaced with Las Vegas stalwart impressionist Danny Gans (formerly of Mirage).

When it goes dark, Spamalot will have performed over a year to 519 shows. A 2005 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, it continues playing on Broadway, in London, and a national tour. Wynn held an exclusive contract with the show, and after July 13, Spamalot rights will open up, enabling a productions in California.

Before Spamalot, another Broadway show Avenue Q was in its place for 9 months. The theater was entirely reconstructed for both shows.

Musical theater has not performed as well as expected in Las Vegas, with some prematurely dubbing our neon city as Broadway West.

The longest running Broadway musical on the Strip has been Mamma Mia!, a certified hit at 2,300 shows, but even that's expected to close at the end of this summer.

Hairspray at Luxor lasted less than 4 months and The Producers at Paris lasted a year.

That hasn't daunted casinos unable or unwilling to launch yet another Cirque du Soleil extravaganza - there are rumors of more Broadway musicals on the horizon, including a custom show helmed by Wes Craven.

In the meantime, locals can get 2-for-1 tickets to Spamalot by purchasing at the box office with the code word ANNIVERSARY and showing Nevada I.D. Tickets can also be purchased at (702) 770-9966.

Regular ticket prices are $69 to $99. The discount is good for shows through May 31.

George Maloof, owner of the Palms Las Vegas Casino Resort, received a certificate of occupancy from Clark County for the latest addition to the Flamingo Road property, the third tower, Palms Place. Joining the original Palms Tower and the newer Fantasy Tower, Palms Place Tower is a 599 unit condominium complex offering 600 ft² studios and 1,200 ft² One-bedroom suites. Twenty-one penthouse suites located on the top four floors range in size from 2,000 ft² to 7,000 ft².

Maloof indicated that approximately 80% of the studios and one-bedroom units will be available for short term rental through the Palms hotel. Renowned chef, Kerry Simon, will open a Simon Restaurant and Lounge in the tower in April. Celebrity buyers include Eminem and Jessica Simpson.

Salas is now one of the finalists, with the winner landing a grand prize of $50,000 and an appearance on illusionist Criss Angel's hit TV show, "Mindfreak."
