Stallone, Statham and Schwarzenegger Highlight Star-Studded Evening at The Expendables' Las Vegas Premiere
Filed under: Events
Celebs and partygoers alike flocked to Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Wednesday evening for the Las Vegas premiere of The Expendables. Crowds lined the casino floor, turned into an impromptu red carpet, while lucky ticket holders and high-roller members of the Total Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars clubs enjoyed access to the celebrity screening, held in the resort's Peepshow theater. Red carpet notables included cast members Sylvester Stallone (with wife and daughters in tow), Jason Statham, Randy Couture, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Charisma Carpenter, Dolph Lundgren, Giselle Itie, and Governor Schwarzenegger himself, who bypassed the carpet, much to the dismay of the crowd. We're told he went straight to hotspot Koi for dinner, where he was later joined by Stallone. Additional appearances included Young MC (who, appropriately, emceed the screening), Peepshow's Holly Madison, Tommy "Tiny" Lister and Eclipse and New Moon's Daniel Cudmore.
The film, which opens nationwide today, features a hardened team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a corrupt dictator on a South American island. While the plot (shoot, fight, kill, blow things up, repeat) is thin to non-existent, the star-studded cast and exceptional special effects will surely draw a big crowd at the box office.
Inside the invite-only after party, select movie-goers and celebs mingled to the sounds of not one, but two, DJs (too much is never enough for this film of "more, more, more") while noshing on coconut shrimp, mini empanadas and lobster quesadillas while sipping drinks like the Expendables Motherf***er, an electric blue play on a Long Island Iced Tea.
