Britney Spears...to sashay into Nikki Beach Par-tay! "Circus Girl" the toast of Vegas!

The last time I spied Britney Spears poolside in the desert oasis was a couple of years ago when I attended the local film festival - CineVegas - at a handful of venues around town.

I was interviewing celebs on the red carpet when I happened to strike up a rapport with a couple of the local paparazzi who plied me with juicy inside tidbits about Ms. Spears.

Uh-huh!

Scandal-ridden Brit was suffering from the blues when she jetted in to town for a respite from it all that week.

"Britney is hunkered down in a Condo upstairs," one of the professional snoops confided in me.

"She's a good friend of the Hotel owner, George Maloof," he underscored, as an afterthought.

I was quite familiar with the scuttlebutt.

Ms. Spear's musical persona was in the dumper and rumors abounded that Maloof was going to sign her to a contract with the specific aim of raising up her wobbling career like a Phoenix from the ashes.

The two outgoing down-to-earth dudes were hanging out downstairs anxious to get a "money shot" before she skipped town.

"Good luck," I chuckled, as I headed off to a chic soiree I was invited to on the pool deck.

Shortly after I sauntered in, there was as definite buzz in the air.

Yup!

Although Britney made a quiet entrance into the par-tay through a side-door, the news swept through the upscale party guests quicker than the speed of lightning, that the scandal-ridden Pop Queen was in their midst!

I reported on the event at the time.

By the way, I couldn't resist strolling by the vicinity where she was holding court, to get a gander myself.

OMG!

Britney and I actually exchanged glances!

Now, her handlers have announced that Britney will be attending the Grand Opening of Nikki Beach at the newly-renovated Tropicana Hotel on the weekend, after she performs live! on stage in a much-anticipated Las Vegas concert. (which I expect will be a sell-out).

No doubt, long queues will form at the glittering Hotel on that celebrated evening, when the young DIVA makes her grand entrance into the frenzied swirl of Las Vegas social life!

See 'ya there!

Las Vegas...butt-crack cleavage the rage! Fashion Police, please!

Now that pool parties are in vogue, style-setters are upping the stakes when they take a splash in Vegas this summer.

Bodacious babes are tossing on itty-bitty bikini bottoms that expose a lot of titillating "butt cleavage" (a term coined by a local reporter at one of the dailies) to gain a competitive edge in the fleshy marketplace.

Of course, the trend begs the question.

Are Hoteliers going to rustle up the assistance of the Fashion Place to curb the tendency for a few die-hards to go over the deep end?

I recall that last year Abercrombie & Fitch ran into a bit of interference with the Vice squad when they launched a promotion featuring a bevy of beautiful boys with their ass cracks hanging out in plain view.

In spite of the outrage around the country, the retailer prevailed in court, however.

Law enforcements claimed that the ads bordered on the obscene, but an open-minded Judge, tossed the allegations out of court.

Even still, one has to wonder if Management at the local hot spots may be keeping their eye out after midnight when all the hanky-panky goes down around the hot tubs!

Well, they don't call Vegas "Sin City" for no good reason!

If you want to get in on the action, check out spanking-new swank Nikki Beach (Tropicana Hotel) or Encore Beach at the Wynn Hotel.

See 'ya there!

Tropicana Hotel in Vegas...Nikki Beach party kicks-off new image! Facelift appealing!

One of the grand old Hotels in Las Vegas has been gussied up just in time for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

To the tune of a $180 million-dollar in renovation costs according to my reliable sources!

Later today, the freshly-minted - Nikki Beach - will toss a chic White Party to celebrate the "opening" which is expected to attract quite a star-studded crowd of elite party-crashers bent on getting down and boogeying into the wee hours of the night in the trendy desert oasis.

When you first stroll up the strip, you can't help but notice the new "whitewash" on the front facade of the Tropicana, with the stand-out eye-catching blood red lettering!

At night, tourists actually stand on the overpass and video-tape a swirl of images that are projected onto the side of the landmark Hotel, which are - not only visually dazzling - but downright entertaining to take a gander at.

But, the real appeal, is to be found tucked away in the actual environs of the Hotel.

Once tourists stroll inside the front doors, the white marble inlays on the floor - and the highly-polished brass fixtures - are inclined to soothe guests right off-the-bat and put 'em in a positive upbeat mood.

In fact, the whole first floor is a sight to behold, even for someone with a very discerning discriminating eye.

I was particularly drawn to a beautiful "stick" wall hanging near a back entrance which was simply exquisite.

The decorators tied in wood inlays in the floor which echo the heme beautifully, too.

I expect that this week-end the Tropicana will be the place to hang out, sip an exotic cocktail, take a splash in the pool, and what-have-you.

By the way, Ms. Gladys Knight is appearing at the Hotel right now, so you may want to snatch up a ticket or two for that much-ballyhooed live concert gig!

See 'ya there!
