In his most recent column focused on the involvement of the Light Group in MGM's City Center project, Norm dropped in the following tidbit under the sub-heading "Sightings:" Among the reported 4,300 clubgoers at XS nightclub's first industry night on Monday at Encore: UFC stars Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin and magician David Darkstone, whose name has popped up as a potential replacement for Criss Angel in Cirque du Soleil's "Believe" (Luxor). UPDATE: This still falls solidly in the realm of rumor, but phone calls to us from Vegas & Magic related sources since we first reported on this story say that they are hearing that Cirque is pulling out of Believe and that Criss will try and keep it going on his own. Again, still nothing but rumor and speculation at this point, but there ya go.. for what it's worth. Time will tell.
