* Actor David Krumholtz, who is currently starring in the hit CBS drama Numb3rs, was spotted hanging out at Club Paradise over the weekend. The star sipped on high-priced champagne while watching the insanely gorgeous girls of Club Paradise with his girlfriend. Although we can’t claim to be Numb3rs fans, we loved Krumholtz in his role as Goldstein in the cult-hit, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

* The Strip’s hottest entertainment company has begun to gear up for their 6th annual Run Away with Cirque du Soleil 5K run and 1 Mile Fun Walk at the Henderson Pavilion on Labor Day – Monday, September 4. All entrants will receive a t-shirt and free raffle tickets for a chance to win one of six dinner and show packages. Prizes will also be awarded to the top three finishers.

* In other Cirque news, on Tuesday, August 6, the company’s longest running show, Mystere (Treasure Island), will celebrate its 6,000th performance. Expect an added and unforgettable finale for this special performance.

* Why is the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood getting so many knocks? First a key representative of Miami-based liquor distributor called it, what were the words, a “yesterdays property” and now Paris Hilton says her new nightclub will be located, “somewhere better.” We strongly believe Planet Hollywood honcho Robert Earl will be able to turn the property around and make it buzz with activity. Besides, isn’t it time to say farewell to Paris yet? When do the Olsen twins turn 21?

* Congratulations to Gina Yeager of Preferred PR. Here’s a shot of her newest bundle of joy, Mia, only four months old.

* Talk about boldly going where no man has gone before. To celebrate the official Star Trek convention, hey George Takei’s gotta get paid; the Star Trek Experience (Las Vegas Hilton) is offering a comprehensive admiral’s experience simply named The Klingon Feast Buffet. For $169.99 American dollars, Trek fans receive a plethora of cool Trek swag, a fully interactive behind the scenes experience of … well … the experience and a yoked-out buffet featuring a sushi bar, prime rib station and many more, which can be enjoyed while a Star Trek trivia game ensues. The Klingon Feast Buffet will be offered August 17-20.

* Ring up another one for the Puck-meister! The Newseum currently being constructed in the nation’s capitol has selected Wolfgang Puck Catering to operate the museum of news’ food court, banquet facility and catering services. Puck’s catering division currently operates close to two dozen similar concepts in venues around the country.

* The Smoking Gun is reporting that a Scottish couple is suing Caesars Palace for negligence and emotional distress after they discovered their six-year-old daughter had found a used condom within the sheets of a made bed and put it in her mouth. They are seeking an undisclosed amount in excess of $10,000. If this story sounds familiar it should, a similar lawsuit arose a couple of years ago with the Rio All-Suite hotel.

* We want to wish a heartfelt Happy Birthday to the Poker Diva, Liz Lieu! Not only is the blossoming poker star one of the top rated women in the world, but she is also drop-dead gorgeous. Liz Lieu, we think we love you!

* Fox Sports Network’s “Best Damn Sports Show Period” spent the weekend filming poolside at the Hooters Casino. Sports stars who graced the hooter-rific pool deck included ‘King James’ and basketball superstar LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), N.B.A. Finals MVP Dwyane Wade and his back court running mate Gary ‘The Glove’ Payton (Miami Heat), former champ Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield and actress-turned-poker-princess Jennifer Tilly.

* Congratulations to The Scintas who are back on stage performing at their new home, The Sahara. They opened their new theatre with a grand opening last Thursday.

* Las Vegas police apparently discovered a brothel operating in a quiet corner of the Siena Golf Course community last week. During the raid, three people were arrested including the alleged madam who went with the alias of Joan Jett.

* Golfer Greg Norman might just know business more than he does a three-wood. After having huge success with a line of wines carrying his name, ‘The Great White Shark,’ is making a move into the meat business introducing a new brand of luxury Australian beef. The trophy of his collection is the Greg Norman Signature Wagyu, a 350-day, grain-fed, super premium line of Wagyu beef. 

* Speaking of Wagyu beef, many a chef were spotted at BOA Steakhouse (Forum Shops) earlier this afternoon for an Imported Premium Wagyu Kobe beef tasting.

* While on the topic of BOA Steakhouse, three-star Michelin chef Guy Savoy was spotted enjoying some all-American beef over the weekend with his son and general manager of Vegas’ Restaurant Guy Savoy (Caesars Palace), Franck. Nearby, another original gangsta was doing the same, when Ice T stopped in for dinner with his beautiful wife Coco.

* The press keeps pouring in for Capton Beverage Tracker, well not literally, since the company’s sole purpose is to stop over-pouring behind bars. After inking a deal with Treasure Island the company was featured on MSNBC. Capton insists that approx. $7 billion is lost each year country-wide due to over-pouring, heavy-handed bartenders. For more information on reducing your pour costs.

* What you doin’ Wednesday night? Well phenomenal Chi-town DJ, Bad Boy Bill is spinning for ‘IT’ the raging midweek industry party at the MGM Grand’s Tabu Ultra Lounge. You definitely don’t want to miss this one, especially since Tuaca Italian Liquor is giving known industry locals their first shot for free!

* A new Las Vegas law makes it illegal to feed the city’s homeless in city parks. The law carries with it a maximum penalty of $1,000 and six months in jail. When questioned how to identify who is and who is not homeless, Hizzoner Oscar Goodman eloquently stated, "Certain truths are self-evident... You know who's homeless." Pigeons across the city were spotted rejoicing shortly after the decision.

* In other wacky City Hall news, although feeding the homeless is now illegal, urinating in public is not. That’s actually true, scary right?

* We were hearing rumors about a potential N9NE Group venture going into the Golden Nugget. Not true says N9NE’s main man of marketing, Mike Fuller, “N9NE is great friends with George Maloof [Palms Resort president and owner] and very content at the Palms. The remainder of our group’s growth initiatives are based in other cities like Dallas.”

* Congratulations to Pepe Hermosillo and his Casa Noble’s Tequila who was recently awarded ‘Outstanding Tequila of the Decade.’ A panel of 37 tequila aficionados and experts spent 13 months reviewing hundreds of tequilas before awarding Casa Noble with the top prize. You need no further proof than this statement from one of the experts: “You can track back Casa Noble’s roots all the way to 1776, but it’s really what it has accomplished in the last 10 years that makes your jaw drop. Led by the hand of a sensitive-yet-firm front man in Hermosillo, C.N. has established itself as a role model for many tequileros when it comes down to tequila making and creating strong, meaningful long-lasting relationships with its customers…

* The ailing Las Vegas monorail continues to be plagued with problems, this time a sharp 28 percent decrease in customer traffic since a fare hike brought the fare of a one-way ride from $3 to $5. As the monorail seems to underachieve and its bond rating has been officially lowered to ‘junk,’ many locals are beginning to question the privatization of the project, which curiously enjoys tax exempt status. As always the solution seems easy, at least to us; drop fares, extend the track to the airport, Green Valley, Summerlin and downtown and, finally, make the city a public transportation system to provide the ever-increasing population a means to get around the city.

* “It looked like the N.B.A. All Star Game landed early,” boasted OPM Nightclub’s (Forum Shops) international man of marketing, Branden Powers from the Baller’s Ball Summer League edition honoring the birthday celebration of Gary ‘The Glove’ Payton (Miami Heat). “When Gary comes to party at OPM, everyone comes to party at OPM,” Powers continued before announcing a laundry list of sports stars, including Antoine Walker, former Running Rebels Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, Donyell Marshall, Carmelo Anthony and retired stars Ray Mercer and Alton Liston.

* If David Copperfield’s marriage to all-galaxy model Claudia Schiffer didn’t make you want to enroll in magician’s academy, then perhaps seeing street magician David Blaine hanging with supermodel Bridget Hall at Rain Nightclub (Palms) this weekend will. Nearby was yet another Lil’ John sighting (just move here already) and former Kansas Jayhawk star Kurt Heinrich.

* A quick message to the Morgans Hotel Group, how’s this for co-branding while you attempt to upscale a boutique property: Hard Rock Hotel, Imperial Palace, Hard Rock Hotel, Imperial Palace, Hard Rock Hotel, Imperial Palace. Yeah, it never made much sense to us either.

* We know the Light Group’s newest restaurant venture will be of the Mexican variety. We’ve heard stories about a two-story get-up at the Monte Carlo for close to a year now and while no one would confirm or deny the restaurant, we were able to discover it will carry the name of Diablo’s Cantina. The Devil’s Tavern huh, love it!

* Speaking of the Light Group, one Vegas Magazine staffer was overheard bashing our June Issue cover story and interview with Light Group owner Andrew Sasson because, as she put it, we copied them. Funny, our magazine hit a month before yours did Jill.

* How fast is the Eye on L.A. progressing, well this weekend New York Post gossip pitchman Richard Johnson of Page Six fame “broke” a story about a scuffle between Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Josh Duhmel of NBC’s Las Vegas that took place at the phenomenal Hollywood eatery, Bella. The only thing is, the Eye on LA ran that story nationally more than two weeks ago!
