Here’s a list of people who were at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas Saturday night: Criss Angel, Holly Madison, Paula Abdul and Michael Bay. Give that a minute to sink in. You think you’re going to wake up screaming like it was all a bad nightmare, but it wasn’t. It’s like someone invited the keynote speakers to the 2008 International Conference of Everything That’s Bad and Wrong About Film, Television and Stage.
Tyrese was at Victor Drai’s table inside the club, and 2005 Playboy playmate Raquel Gibson was also in the crowd. They got to keep a lookout on the crowd for any more of Paula’s fans who looked like they might be ready to top themselves.
Madison, Angel and Abdul turned up at LAX inside Luxor, where Jason Statham and Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis were partying in celebration of Ricky Hatton’s win. Sister club Pure at Caesars Palace had Tracy Morgan and Saved by the Bell’s Mark-Paul Gosselaar along with Mike Epps and Mario Barth.

It’s nice that the LeVar Burton Fanclub finally found a place to meet.

UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste celebrated the big 2-3 last night at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas with several friends. It’s tough enough trying to spit game at super-hot broads, but how do dudes ever roll up on her? Just knowing she has UFC guys watching her back kind of puts the pressure on. No one wants to get spun into an arm bar if you make a little faux pas.

It was dueling celbucouples last night at the premiere of Repo! The Genetic Opera inside Planet Hollywood Resort with Paris Hilton and Benji Madden going head to head with Criss Angel and Holly Madison.
Hilton and Madison got things going with an afterparty with the cast at Prive with Paris occasionally hopping up on a couch to dance, but Angel and Madison upped the ante by making out after a few drinks and sharing a lollipop.
They even kept it up at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas for some more PDA as Angel fed Madison strawberries. Nauseatitastic! Of course, Madison says she’s in love with the illusionist, so everything’s just puppy dogs and rainbows.
Also in the crowd at Tryst were Gary Sheffield hanging out with the Cowboys’ Tank Johnson, boxer Miguel Cotto, MMA fighters Dan Henderson and Jay Hieron and rapper Too Short.

Mad Mike of Pimp My Ride was at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas last night turing the Dub magazine expo, as part of the SEMA auto show festivities. Bernard Hopkins was feted at the party, wrestler Bill Goldberg turned up DJ Skribble spun the tunes. Tryst should’ve taken advantage of this and had Mad Mike wire video screens into the seat backs of all the booths, leading to the debut of Pimp My Club.
Meanwhile, Frankie Muniz was over at Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood Resort for dinner.

You should be plenty warmed up by now with the early-week Halloween parties. Now the big guns are starting to come out. Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas kicks out $20,000 in prizes tonight for Hero-Ween, where the Joker-to-other-costume ratio is going to be set a precipitous 1:5. Hopefully, someone will be tasteless enough to go as Prescription Drugs Joker. Click for more words and pictures »

Clearly, Micheal Phelps is sick of all that water, because he was back in the desert this weekend, soaking in all our sweet, sweet moisture-free air.
The Olympian returned to the Palms, scene of his butt-grabbing glory in September, where he hit up Moon Friday from midnight until around 3 a.m.
On Sunday night, Phelps was over at Wynn Las Vegas’ Tryst, which is at least lagoon-side, where he hung out with friends.
Newly emancipated Holly Madison was over at Lavo inside Palazzo Sunday night.

Former *NSYNC singer Chris Kirkpatrick celebrated his 37th birthday with friends at both of Victor Drai’s clubs, Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas and Drai’s at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon. Kirkpatrick lost out on CMT’s Gone Country to Sebastian Bach, which has to be a little like getting beat in a foot race by Dennis Franz.

Notorious ride pimper and star of Gridiron Gang Xzibit was at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas on Thursday night. Pimp My Ride has run six seasons, spawned both U.K. and international versions, led to a video game and has been the inspiration for several imitators, proving once and for all that the public’s insatiable demand for pimpin’ is limitless.
On Friday, Tryst drew Affliction owner Tom Atencio, while WWE wrestler David “Batista” Bautista was there on Saturday, continuing to sport the laziest nickname in professional athletics since Mordecai Brown.

Rush Hour’s Chris Tucker was at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas last night for a belated birthday party with two friends. Director Brett Ratner already has plans to take over the birthday-celebration franchise next year for a continuation of the series that’s less successful both critically and financially.
The actor turned 36 on Aug. 31. Tucker, who has been rumored to be on board for a Rush Hour 4, better start moving things along on the set if he wants to be able to squeeze in Rush Hours 5 through 12 before he hits 50.
Also at Tryst were Jermaine O’Neal of the Toronto Raptors, Detroit’s Chauncey Billups, Golden State’s Al Harrington and Tyronn Lue of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Tucker was also seen upstairs at Blush, which also hosted the United States women’s Olympic volleyball team.
