Hey, did you know ShoWest, the big annual film industry tradeshow, is in Las Vegas this week? In case the increased traffic on the streets and in the casinos didn’t make it apparent, the number of Hollywood types hanging around clubs and lounges in Sin City might.

Last night, Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgis shared a table on the terrace of Nove Italiano atop the Palms’ Fantasy Tower last night with their 21 co-star Aaron Yoo and former MIT student Jeff Ma, whose card-counting Vegas exploits are the basis of the film, which premieres at Bally’s tonight. After dinner, wine and tequila shots, the crew headed upstairs to the Playboy Club, enjoying a table and $50 hands of blackjack.

Meanwhile, in the VIP Fireside Lounge at Playboy Club, Ben Stiller, Matt Levin and a group of friends celebrated the wrap of Tropic Thunder, Stiller’s latest directorial and starring effort. The There’s Something About Mary star took it easy, sipping Diet Coke and the occasional Patrón Platinum shot, while his pals – including brother-in-law Brian Taylor – enjoyed Ketel One cocktails, Perrier Jouet Fleur de Champagne, and Le Tourment Vert Absinthe before the entire crew moved the party to the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa.
