Amy Smart and Will.i.am took over at Lavo inside The Palazzo Saturday night for a GetOutTheVote.org party. The Black Eyed Pea spun for the crowd before everyone retreated to a table as DJ Reach took over. Someone needs to pull Clark County voter records to see how significant the impact was. Has to be about a 200 percent gain, we figure.

Also at Lavo on Saturday were Believe holdovers Neil Patrick Harris and boyfriend David Burtka, AJ Buckley, Jonathan Togo , Christina Hendricks and boyfriend Geoffrey Arend, and Justin Long. They had dinner, went outside for a hookah and then went upstairs to the club. The very thought of Christina Hendricks shaking it is enough to send bedridden old men into fits. The same crew saw Love at The Mirage along with Adam Shankman, Keir O’Donell and Joey Kerns.

Sunday saw Smart at Tao inside The Venetian having dinner with a group of 10. Earlier, it was Smart’s turn to take in a show of Love.

Tera Patrick hosted Taolloween Friday night at Tao inside The Venetian, where she was with husband Evan Seinfeld, and spun a DJ set during the evening. It’s kind of a sad time when the porn star is wearing more than some of the girls at the party itself. Sad … or awesome. Either way.

Also at Tao was Maxwell along with Jazmine Sullivan after their show at The Pearl inside the Palms. Maxwell was also dressed much less slutty than most of the girls there. Most.

The big push is over, and now it’s just afterglow, but that’s no reason to let that Halloween costume sit at the bottom of your closet floor for another year. Jeff Beacher hosts the Insanity Ball at Tao inside The Venetian to ensure you can squeeze another night out of whatever didn’t get destroyed in your drunken bumbling the night before.

Maxwell stopped in at Tao inside The Venetian last night for Taolloween 3. (For full-on Tao madness, check the SpyOnVegas galleries here, here, here, here and here.) He started out at Lavo inside The Palazzo with his entire band and entourage for dinner. The R&B singer is currently on tour and plays The Pearl at the Palms tonight. R&B for Halloween: It’s pretty much what Vincent Price would’ve wanted.

Adrien Brody, at Lavo for the second straight night, stopped by Maxwell’s table before stepping outside with the crew to smoke a hookah. He’s thinking about having his Oscar retrofitted with pipes and a water basin. It should be pretty sweet.

Also at the restaurant were Gregory Smith of Everwood and poker pro Antonio Esfandiari.

Their costume … is Oompa-Loompas … dressed in Halloween costumes. That is so meta our head just exploded. You guys win at life. Augusts Gloop never would have gone into the chocolate river if there was a Freddy Krueger Oompa-Loompa around.

Matt Dallas of Kyle XY celebrated his birthday with 12 friends at Tao inside The Venetian Saturday. This makes it a banner month for ABC Family, which just had Greek star Scott Michael Foster in town last week for the Blush one-year anniversary. If the network really wanted to create the family experience in Vegas, they’d force their stars to drag bored, tired kids through Bally’s at 2 a.m. while they looked for an open spot at a $5 blackjack table.

Also celebrating a birthday at Tao was BET Network’s executive vice president Stephen Hill. David Spade, who did a run at Planet Hollywood over the weekend, was drinking Patron at the owner’s table. Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. was also spotted, we imagine muttering to himself about the Red Sox.

Sister club Lavo at Palazzo had Quarrantine’s Johnathon Schaech with girlfriend Jana Kramer in for dinner and then up to the nightclub, where Real World: Sydney’s Trisha Cummings was with two castmates. Click for more words and pictures »

The Soup host Joel McHale headed over to Lavo inside Palazzo after wrapping up his show at Mandalay Bay Events Center Friday night with his wife and several friends, closing down the dining room. He was there on the same night The Hills spinoff The City’s Erin Lucas was with a group of girlfriends and her boyfriend for her birthday. We imagine she spent the whole night terrified that McHale would see her and get enough material for the next three episodes of The Soup.

Fellow show host Craig Ferguson was also there, doing a much less funny dinner than McHale later in the night.

Also celebrating a birthday at Lavo was Matt Dallas of Kyle XY with a bunch of dudes and one girl for dinner before going upstairs to the nightclub proper. Former President Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer was back in the club for the second time this week, dancing with his girl. You know what people connected to politics should do more of? Dancing.

Michael Phelps, undaunted by the startling lack of humidity in the desert, continues to make the most of his pool-found fame with an extended stay that last night saw him at Tao inside The Venetian. Also hanging out was Meagan Good of Roll Bounce, Stomp the Yard, The Love Guru and Saw V. Hey, uh, Michael Phelps? Try not to take any of her career advice to heart if you were asking her about getting into acting.

Also at Tao were The Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson and poker pros Phil Hellmuth and David Williams.

Earlier, Phelps was at Simon inside Palms Place, along with Olympians Eric Vendt, Rich Lambourne and Stacy Sykora for the Skeletal Metal launch party. UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin was also there, saying he could’ve used the metal plates the jewelry is fashioned from to heal a broken arm when he was younger. Oh, you know those MMA guys — they’ll never stop talking about their hilarious broken bones.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane celebrated his 35th birthday Friday night at Tao inside The Venetian with a group of 25 that included cast and crew of the show. Just before 1 a.m., MacFarlane jumped up on stage, doing the voices of Brian, Stewie and Peter while being joined by Alex Borstein, who does the voice of Lois. They played clips from an episode where Brian and Stewie do a number with Sinatra, with MacFarlane doing all three voices along with the video. MacFarlane’s deal with Fox is reported to be in the neighborhood of $100 million, which for that kind of money, he should’ve done that musical number, plus the voices of Inspector Gadget, several Muppets and the Wonder Twins.

On Saturday, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance? Nigel Lythgoe was at the club with eight guests. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was also there with 12 of his own.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane celebrates his brithday tonight at Tao inside The Venetian. Family Guy had an OK run, but ever since South Park delivered its epic takedown, it’s been hard to look at it the same. It’s like when you find out your uncle did a little porn back in the ’70s. Uh, everyone’s had that happen, right? Click for more words and pictures »
