GOLDEN BOY PHELPS AT PLAYBOY


Each of these bunnies are worth approximately 2.66 gold medals.

Half-man, half-dolphin Michael Phelps continued his “I’m the most perfect example of athletic excellence of all time” world tour with a stop at the Palms’ Playboy Club last night, where he came in with a group of 20 around 11:45 p.m. and took over two tables before leaving around 1:45 a.m.

Phelps wasn’t drinking, but according to one report, he did end up getting his flippers on the go-go dancers.

After the night was over, Phelps descended to the Palms pool where he beat Aquaman, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner and Sonny Crockett’s cigarette boat in the 400-meter individual medley.

WENTZ DUCKS INTO N9NE

Before surprising the Panic at the Disco lads, Pete Wentz had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms last night with a group of six, in and out in an hour. Wentz had oysters, a Caesar salad and Ketel One with grapefruit soda.

All-Star Baron Davis of the Clippers, meanwhile ate with a friend at Social House inside Treasure Island on the patio. We kind of wish they had all dined together, as it’d be fantastic to see pro baller Davis standing next to all-of-5-foot-6 Wentz. They could go as Boris and Natasha for Halloween. It’d be great.

MADISON, ANGEL GET CLOSE


If Hef couldn’t get nine out of 10 women he wanted, he might be jealous.

Hugh Hefner’s No. 1 girl Holly Madison hit up Rain at the Palms Friday night, starting around 11 p.m. where she shared a skybox with Paul Oakenfold, who launched his Perfecto residency on Saturday (attended by Tara Reid), and Chewy from Chelsea Lately.

Later in the evening, Madison hung out with Criss Angel at LAX inside Luxor, where Eva Longoria and Wilmer Valderrama were partying. Longoria and Valderrama departed for Noir Bar, but Madison and Angel hung on until last call.

Madison and Angel were also spotted canoodling at CatHouse. Actor Adrien Brody was there as well. Not, you know, canoodling with those two. Just there. Glad we could clear that up. Click for more words and pictures »

TOO SHORT ROAMS PALMS


Room 101 owner Matt Booth, Too Short and photo bomber.

Too Short banged out a quick five-song set at Ghostbar inside the Palms last night as part of a Room 101 MAGIC tie-in, then made his way to Moon where his crew inflated from seven to 17, drawing in Trech of Naughty by Nature.

We’re going to go ahead and guess that in the Good Hip-Hop vs. Wack Hip-Hop war, Trech ain’t on Soulja Boy’s side. Nonetheless, Soulja came into Moon, did his set — and left because he’s underage. The crowd included regulars Zab Judah and Computer of Adventures in Hollyhood.

Earlier, Bobby Brown had dinner at N9NE Steakhouse. No, he doesn’t keep all his meals to crack flambe.

Meanwhile, over at Yellowtail inside Bellagio, Justin Long — the Mac guy who plays opposite vastly underrated PC guy John Hodgman and former Drew Barrymore beau — had dinner with nary a lady in sight.

Finally, Christian Audigier, still in town for his When I Move, You Move, saw Cher at Caesar’s Palace. Expect next year’s line to involve sequined headgear.

Ghostbar at The Palms brings in MC Serch of 3rd Bass to host tonight — and, presumably, to deliver the Gas Face to, uh, suckas — while Too Short, Mae Day and Noelle perform as part of The Room 101 Conspiracy. The jewelry company specializes in silver and white guys with high-top fades. Click for more words and pictures »

0824SUN: THE ROUNDUP


Sure, but does he charge more than a nickel to ride that thing? (Via schanimitterhauser.at)

You know what separates the men from the boys? Mustaches. Clearly. The Playboy Club at The Palms knows the score with tonight’s Most Glorious, Beautiful, Awesomest Mustache Extravaganza Known to Man Ever, featuring DJ Adam 12 of She Wants Revenge. Three winners, selected from the crowd and presented on the catwalk for a showcase, will win $300 gift cards to Tank Farm. First place also gets a trophy, but when we have a room full of mustaches, aren’t we all winners? Click for more words and pictures »

BACH REMEMBERS YOU


Ain’t your business if he’s got monkeys on his back. (Via SebastianBach.com

Sebastian Bach and a group of seven kicked it at Ghostbar inside The Palms yesterday in advance of tonight’s show at The Pearl along with Dokken, Poison and Rob DeLuca. Sebastian Bach Fun Fact: He has a tattoo on his right arm that reads “Youth Gone Wild.” This is because he never played by the rules and he never really cared.

Also at The Palms last night was Bridget Marquardt who got to Moon around 2 a.m. with a group of four, expertly planning the details of hiding pirate booty.

BUCKLES SWASHED AT PALMS


Insert “booty” joke of your choice. Oh, we’d like to insert something in her booty. Wait, no, don’t use that. That’s terrible.

Tomorrow’s Ditch Friday at the Palms pool brings Bridget Marquardt back after her regal tour as the queen of Midsummer Night’s Dream to host the Ship Wreck Pirate Treasure Hunt at noon. It brings all the daring and romance of piracy right to the pool. But not real piracy, because that’s dangerous and wrong. (OK, actually, it’s still really awesome.)

Sunbathers will get clues throughout the day to lead them toward the treasure, and the first 500 will get their clues on the way in, some of which lead to a treasure map. Guests will have to dive for additional clues found in more than 100 message-bearing bottles floating in the pool. It’s kind of like bobbing for apples, but much less delicious.

GIRLS NEXT DOOR COMING IN WAVES


Right about now, Hef is getting Ideas. (Photo by Al Powers | SpyOnVegas.com)

Holly Madison shot a pictorial at the Playboy Club yesterday, popping into town just a couple of days after fellow Girl Next Door Bridget Marquardt was here. She went up to N9NE Steakhouse for dinner, then bounced back to the Playboy Club with Criss Angel where the magician played blackjack and Madison took pics with fans. We’re sure the shy, reserved Angel wanted nothing to do with the flashbulbs.

Madison was also spotted at Luxor’s CatHouse. Ball’s in your court now, Kendra.
