E.D.M. will be the death of our culture, if molly doesn't kill us all first. That is what I gathered from "Night Club Royale," the New Yorker's semi-profile of Paris Hilton's ex, producer/DJ Afrojack, who amused me so when I saw him at the Electric Daisy Carnival in 2012, and through whom writer Josh Eells gives us a good look at the entire Vegas nightclub casino scene. (Between this and the Rolling Stone Miley Cyrus profile, Eells having the best culture-writing week ever.)

Brooklyn Is Everywhere, And Everywhere Is Brooklyn:

Yesterday we wondered what the next bubble will be, and when it will pop, thereby destroying us all. We intend to keep an eye on all possible bubbles from now until the next crash, so that we may claim to have "predicted" it. Today's candidate: flimsy homes in desert wastelands.

A 31-year-old Cirque du Soleil acrobat plummeted 50 feet to her death on Saturday during the finale scene of the company's Kà show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Hers is believed to be the first stage death in Cirque du Soleil's nearly 30 year history.

From the "Videos That Will Give You Nightmares" department: KLAS in Las Vegas has obtained tape of family court marshals illegally arresting a woman accusing one of them of sexual assault—as the presiding officer ignores her pleas for help or explanation.

Nevada prosecutors successfully indicted a self-described pimp they believe is responsible for the Las Vegas strip shooting that culminated in a fiery Maserati-Range Rover-taxicab crash, killing three people.

Three people are dead on the Las Vegas strip after a gun battle between passengers of an SUV and a Maserati came to a fiery end at a busy intersection outside Bally's casino—blowing up a taxicab and killing its driver and passenger.

Police in Las Vegas were called to the home of a 23-year-old woman earlier this week after her neighbors complained that she was having sex with a pit bull in broad daylight in her own backyard.

Time-lapse videos: they are all over the place, and they are all pretty, and at some point, aren't you like, "okay, I get it"? (As Dylan once sang, "How many time-lapse videos/Must a blogger post/Before he gets enough hits.") But! This one — Istanbul! Budapest! San Francisco! Vegas! Storms! The Northern Lights! — will restore faith in the power of streaming HD video and expensive "prosumer" camera equipment to even the most jaded time-lapse viewer, provided you turn down the shitty dubstep soundtrack and put on something good. Or you could just rent Koyaanisqatsi, I guess. [Reid Gower via Reddit]

In an apparent attempt to empirically prove the veracity of Robert Frost's 1962 poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay," two men, Eric Cuellar and Justin Teixeira, were arrested in Las Vegas this week after being caught on tape killing an endangered 14-year-old helmeted guinea fowl.

Hundreds of Brits may be upset with The Sun's decision to reprint pics of Prince Harry's naked Vegas romp, but thousands of others the world over couldn't be happier — and they're showing their support by following the heir's example and shedding their threads.

A Facebook page reportedly maintained by Prince Harry under the pseudonym Spike Wells has been shuttered in the wake of last week's strip billiards scandal.

The privacy-invading insider who leaked the infamous nude photos of Prince Harry playing strip billiards is persona non grata in Vegas, according a new Sin City tourism campaign.

Speaking with Matt Lauer on this morning's Today Show, Ryan Lochte talked about his recent encounter with Prince Harry in Vegas, where the two reportedly engaged in a drunken swimming race which the Prince won.

Prince Harry got drunk in Las Vegas and decided to play strip billiards, which is like strip poker for really rich people. That's all well and good, except for the fact that he let himself be photographed.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says an employee at a local Dairy Queen shot and killed a man who was attempting to rob the store with a samurai sword.

Chimpanzees are not pets.

Motorists driving through Las Vegas along Interstate 15 were horrified to see what appeared to be a man hanging by the neck beneath a billboard inscribed with the words "dying for work."

If you wanted to rob a high-end Las Vegas casino, I imagine the best plan would be something involving an inside accomplice, cutting-edge technology, stealth, and a well-planned getaway. The "run in and grab what you can" method would not be the primary choice of most successful casino robbers.

Las Vegas had a weird morning Thursday, as two chimps magically appeared from nowhere to run across busy highways.
