The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is closing its Wasted Space nightclub after two years of operation, a Hard Rock spokeswoman said today.

The nightlife and concert venue will close before spring 2011 to make room for a new race and sports book, Hard Rock spokeswoman Jessie Pound said.

Pound said there isn’t an immediate timeline on when Wasted Space will close, but acts are booked at the venue through October.

Branded as Hard Rock’s “anti-club,” Wasted Space opened in July 2008 with the idea of a looser dress code than other nightclubs in town and a place for performers to play more intimate shows. The 5,000-square-foot club holds between 400 and 500 people.

Wasted Space was designed by motocross star Carey Hart, who also operates Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company inside Hard Rock. The club brought in some high-profile investors, including musicians Joel and Benji Madden and baseball star Jason Giambi. Giambi is also a co-owner in Vanity nightclub at Hard Rock.

Hard Rock Chief Executive Joseph Magliarditi said he wouldn’t comment on the closure of Wasted Space or the financial performance of the nightclub because the club is a partnership between Hart and Hard Rock.

According to an annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March, Hard Rock said revenue at Wasted Space increased by $1.6 million in 2009, although other numbers for the club weren’t listed in the filing.

The venue’s opening night brought Gavin Rossdale and super group Camp Freddy and continued on to host names like MXPX, Snow Patrol and Hart’s wife, Pink. Acts left on Wasted Space’s upcoming roster include Drowning Pool, Hot Hot Heat and Adler’s Appetite.

In announcing changes with its race and sports book, Hard Rock also said today it has signed a deal with Cantor Gaming to operate the property’s sports book.

Pending regulatory approval, Cantor will install its in-running mobile gaming technology at the Hard Rock sports book. Hard Rock signed a deal with Cantor in February to become the third Las Vegas casino to offer Cantor’s eDeck mobile gaming technology. M Resort and Venetian both have the technology.

Pink has described Eminem as “one of the most poetic” and comical artists in the entertainment industry.

The singer, who collaborated with the rap superstar on his Recovery track ‘Won’t Back Down’, also revealed how surprised she was to have been spared from the rapper’s past feuds with popstars.

Speaking to Spin, she said: “I think he’s one of the most poetic, ballsy and hilarious people this industry has ever seen.

“I was always afraid he’d pick me as a target, but he’s always been nice to me and finally approached me to be on the album, so I must have done something right.”

Last month, Eminem praised Pink’s talent on their new song together.

Pink moved a total of 3 million concert tickets on her 2009-2010 worldwide tour, according to a statement on behalf of U.K. tour promoter Marshall Arts.

The artist stepped up to become a major global touring act in 2010. Indeed, she is one of the few to graduate to that stadium level in recent years on a global scale, along with Kings of Leon and Muse.

The Funhouse tour, including a headline slot at London’s Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, wrapped last month with a festival date in Norway. Pink is the only female artist to sell out stadium shows this year according to the statement.

In 2009, the Funhouse arena tour played to 2 million people. The 2010 Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour featured 34 stadium and festival headline dates and reached 14 countries in 12 weeks. That run added another 1 million tickets to the tour.

The 2010 stadium shows offered even more in the way of aerial stunts and acrobatics, including Pink’s entry from 100 feet up on a crane.

Pink also worked with international promoters including Michael Coppel in Australia, Peter Reiger of PRG in Germany, Tor Nielson of Live Nation Sweden, John Giddings of Solo (Isle of Wight Festival), Steve Homer of Live Nation in the U.K. and Randy Phillips at AEG.

“Pink is truly the next generation of stadium artistes and Sweden’s biggest stadium act this year,” said Nielson in the statement.

Homer added that she was “the first solo female artist to headline Wireless” and will be “a tough act to follow next year.”

Pink has one of the buffest bods in Hollywood, but those self-proclaimed “man abs” didn’t come easy. To prep for her trapeze-style performance stunts, the singer does an hour of cardio a day and follows it with an hour of yoga or the P90X ultra-intense workout DVDs. Pink sticks to 1,500 calories a day, snacks on sushi, and swaps out chicken for textured veggie protein, tofu, or shrimp.

When you’re as active as Pink, the traditional run-on-the-’mill workout can get boring—fast. Plus, your body gets used to the same old routine, which can actually slow your results. Luckily, we’ve come up with four ways to shake up your cardio that will freshen your routine, help you fight off boredom, and keep you on track to your hot-body goals.

Pink, who already puts on a theatrical show, added a little unexpected drama tonight when she fell out of a harness, and into a barricade during her performance at the Easy Credit Station in Nurnberg, Germany.

She was taken off the stage and put into an ambulance.

The singer tweeted an apology to her fans: “I am so so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarassed and very sorry.”

She added from the hospital, “Getting xrays. I hope it at least looked cool!!!

Fortunately, all is OK was the singer. Pink later let her fans know, via Twitter, “nothings broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore.”

Whew!

UPDATE – 8:15 PM -

Video of the incident is below.

Pink appears around the 0:30 mark. The accident occurs at 0:50.

At the end of the clip, Pink (thankfully) returns to the stage under her own power, where she apologizes to the crowd before heading to the hospital.
