On Friday night, the Palms Resort Casino and Rain Nightclub held a special tribute for turntable phenom DJ AM (Adam Goldstein). DJ AM served as resident DJ for Rain Nightclub and hosted the weekly event called “AM Fridays” where he spun his famous hip-hop mash-up on select Friday nights and featured world-renowned DJ friends. The staff inside the nightclub each wore DJ AM t-shirts and Nike sneakers while Greg Lopez and DJ R.O.B.(Robert Hathcock) took the stage. At midnight, DJ R.O.B., who usually opens for DJ AM, stopped the music to say a few words and called for 60 seconds of silence in remembrance of him. The crowd then raised their lighters and cell phones as P. Diddy’s remake of “Every Breath You Take” titled "I'll Be Missing You," created as a tribute to Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G., was played during a photo montage of DJ AM that appeared on the video screens throughout the club. Earlier in the evening the Palms Casino Resort sign darkened the exterior letters so that only the A and M were illuminated. A table at the entrance of Rain served as a memorial for guests who left flowers and personal tokens of DJ AM.
