Look down the Strip and many will swear Halloween is everyday in Sin City. Now, though, Las Vegas is hosting a couple of “Halfway to Halloween Parties,” where people are being encouraged (?) to morph into naughty nurses, sexy vampires, or whatever purient interest happens to suit their demanted fantasy. 
And it’s not just for fun and games- the winner of the most seductive costume pockets $5,000. (That can pay for a whole lot of psychological counseling!) Besides, the winner is not selected using some fancy schmantzy algorithm, but rather merely from the most oohs and aahs of onlookers. So, bring all your rowdy friends and maybe you can pull off the ultimate economy-busting coup.
The event is at Blush nightlcub in Wynn tonight, Tues., April 20, at 9 p.m.; $30 for dudes, free for dudettes.
But if you can’t make it to that event, you’re welcome to join former “Girls Next Door” star Bridget Marquardt -Hugh Hefner’s old fling; now her boyfriend is Nicolas Carpenter – as she hosts “Halfway to Halloween” at Eva Longoria Parker’s luxurious nightclub, Eve, this Sat., April 24.
Known for her love of playing dress up, Marquardt will host a sexy and scary costume party for those who don’t want to wait another six months to strut their stuff in costume.
For those ready to go all out in the springtime spirit of Halloween, Eve will reward the top three costumes with $3,000 in cash prizes. For VIP bottle service and table reservations please contact reservations@evethenightclub.com or call 702-277-3838. Doors open at 10:30 p.m.
