Sizzling actress, TV personality and Playboy pinup Carmen Electra hosted the Third Annual eBay Motors RPM XI party at Pure in Caesars Palace last night in conjunction with the 2011 SEMA show. Carmen posed on the red carpet with Las Vegas showgirls before entering the nightclub, where DJ Shift rocked the turntables for partygoers all night long.
It’s a convention not open to the public, yet still attracts 100,000 attendees and 2,000 exhibitors. The annual SEMA show opened yesterday at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and every model in town is booked at the booths for the four days displaying everything auto-related from tires to exhaust pipes to engine parts. In fact, we’ve exhausted our glamour girls, so SEMA’s exhibitors had to go to L.A. and Chicago to bring in extra beauties.
The largest automotive trade show in America also is one of the largest in the world with 2 million square feet of exhibits. Divided into 12 sections, one hall alone is dedicated to wheels and tires, another for customized and souped-up Camaros and Mustangs. Call this the Mecca of motoring where you can spend an entire day wandering the aisles and still not see half of it. The hot attraction this year is a wild concept car from Chevrolet, a life-size Hot Wheels Camaro Spectraflame.
Sexy Carmen is just one of the stars in town for SEMA. The list include West Coast Choppers reality TV star Jesse James at Circle King, UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at Toyo Tire, NASCAR race driver Brad Keselowski at StanPro, Mario Andretti at MagnaFlow, Parnelli Jones at Airaid Filter, seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath, Batmobile creator George Barris and our off-road racing and Baja champion B.J. “Ballistic” Baldwin, son of CityCenter chief Bobby Baldwin.
