All’s fair in war, poker and turning people’s sexual frustrations against them. (Photos by Al Powers | SpyOnVegas.com)

It’s got to be kind of awesome to be a professional poker player when you’re a chick. Anyone who’s spent more than eight minutes in a poker room knows that any girl within 10 yards of a poker game completely derails the action. Have you ever played at the Wynn on a Friday night near the rail when girls are coming in to go to Tryst or XS? There are like two hands an hour and they have to keep calling for a fresh setup because the deuce of hearts got marked with drool. Basically, what we’re trying to say is if you’re a chick poker player and you flash a little cleave around, you can do alright for yourself. Look at Jennifer Tilly.

Vanessa Rousso, who’s top five in women’s all-time money winnings, may or may not use that strategy, we have no idea. But we’d totally do it if we were in her shoes. Regardless, she celebrated her 27th birthday Friday night at Tao, and it was sponsored by All In Magazine and GoDaddy. In retrospect, maybe the GoDaddy affiliation answers our question.

Over at sister club Lavo, David Copperfield and a ladyfriend were spotted having dinner. Hopefully, she knew enough not to go to his island. That’s just a friendly reminder fellas: Get accused of rape, still get dates. Assuming you can make doves appear from your pants. In the non-euphemistic way.

Revenge of the Nerds’ Ogre, Donald Gibb, had dinner at Strip House inside Planet Hollywood. NEEERRRRDS! The Palms saw former Raiders QB Jim Plunkett at N9NE Steakhouse dor dinner with George Maloof before heading up to the Playboy Club. Upstairs at Nove Italiano, Jon Lovitz and a friend ate dinner.
