Start your Friday night off right with outdoor cocktails and live music poolside at Live at the<\/strong> Sunset Marquis<\/strong><\/a>. The legendary rock and roll hotel is opening its doors to host a summer acoustic series. Tonight’s event features music by Noah Benardout, Wing And Hollow and El Javi Trio ($20). <\/p>\n

After you’ve soaked up the summer air, head over to House of Blues<\/strong><\/a> for Dita Von Teese’s<\/strong> “Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray!” ($35 GA). Those looking to double-up on their burlesque quota will also want to stop by The Comedy Store<\/strong><\/a> for “Paid or Pain?! Burlesque, Stand-Up, Dominatrix.” <\/strong>Part live comedy, part reality TV-inspired game show, “Paid or Pain?!” lets audience members decide whether or not performing comics should be paid for their set or subjected to dominatrix-induced “pain.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy some fun in the sun on Saturday, May 12<\/strong> with the third annual Los Angeles Vegan Beer Fest <\/strong>at The Roxy Theatre<\/strong><\/a>.

Advance tickets are $50 for GA, $60 for VIP and $25 for non-drinkers. For more information and to buy tickets, visit http:\/\/roxy.la\/LAVBFtix.<\/p>\n

End your Saturday dancing the night away as the Key Club<\/strong><\/a> is transformed into Club Bang. Featuring two rooms of dancing, Club Bang features electro, pop, ’80s and indie hits. Doors open at 10:30 p.m. and you can enjoy two-for-one priced drinks from 11 p.m. – midnight.  Need a little nourishment before heading home? Luckily for you Coney Dog LA<\/strong><\/a> is just three blocks away and open until 3 a.m. Stop by for some late night hot dogs, salads and burgers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Treat mom to the ultimate Mother’s Day party<\/strong> this Sunday, May 13<\/strong>. Start the day with brunch at Nonna of Italy<\/strong><\/a> (with free mimosas for mom), then make reservations for facials and pedicures at Ole Henriksen<\/strong><\/a> before stopping by LIVE! On Sunset<\/strong><\/a> for a little retail therapy with sale merchandise priced 50-75% off. End your weekend with laughter at The Comedy Store, and if you bring mom, she gets in free! (Get the full list of Mom Day events<\/a>.)
