Discuss celebrity sightings

[Vegasnoob2014]

Inspired by a thread I saw here...if you've spotted/met celebs while out and about in Vegas, share the story!

Saw Shaq walk by us a month ago at MGM. Don't know why he was there since he had died at Chateau a few days prior. Didn't see him at Hak that night either. He's a mammoth in person. He was walking right down the aisles with his gf and 3 bodyguards.

Fun thread -

During my visits I have spotted Ray Ramano playing BJ at Mirage and Hulk Hogan walking through Bellagio going to see O.

As for when I had tables - Jesse Jane, the pornstar had a table next to us (this was way back when Gallery at PH was somewhat still relevant, or was it ever?)..... she was an absolute gross mess.

Coolest sighting was having a table next to Matthew Stafford (Lions QB) at Light. He had a fun group of guys but I am proud to say we had more bottles/hotter women, despite us not being NFL qbs (had to brag)

Also sat next to Billy Joe for like an hour at the airport. He is the lead singer of Green Day. He was leaving Vegas and just smelled like shit (this was the morning after he preformed at MGM and had his meltdown).

Never know who you will run into in Vegas, it is what makes the city so awesome!

I always go when the NBA is town for summer activities (Summer League or Team USA stuff). I've lost track of all the NBA players I've seen there.

As for non-athlete celebs, not a whole lot, outside of your Holly Madison types who are just around town anyway. I mean, I sat next to Brad Garrett and his son at Holstein's once, but he has a regular gig in town.

Too many to list or recall but I will detail 2 of my most notable nights.

Hung out with Kevin Durant, James Harden, Brandon Rush, and Danny Granger at their table at XS.

Saw Diddy, Mayweather, Rick Ross, Jadakiss, and Fred Savage (wonder years) at the grand opening of club Vanity at the hard rock.

Had a table next to Gilbert Melendez, Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz at XS once.

Seen other celebrities just walking around casinos, CT Fletcher, Shogun, Common, Jermaine Dupri.

So last year I met this showgirl on my second night - she was working at Ballys and I met her at EBC.

Anyway on my final day my mate flew back to NYC in the morning, I had the whole day to kill cos my flight back to London wasnt till 9pm that night, so I called her up and we hung out in the day. We ended up going to some chain restaurant at Town Square, just off strip that she knew to get a bite to eat.

So we're sitting there eating and the waitress comes up and says "we've got an A List celebrity here today". Thinking it was all rubbish I didnt pay it much thought, but sent my girl over to check it out and do what girls do, you know, get his attention etc... It was Mike Tyson.

So she comes back and says he checked her out and on the way out we passed his table and she said hi again. So he then invited us both to join him and we sat down and had a drink and a bite to eat with Mike Tyson and his buddy!! I'd told him I was dating this bird cos she'd said "my boyfriend is a huge fan" so we could blag it. He was asking how we met etc and ended the conversation with "damn this British guys a hustler". He was absolutely sound and completely cool

Hilarious really, the amount of Facebook likes on that particular pic was off the scale!

Year before at LDW we had an upper bungalow at EBC next door to Michael Phelps who had Steve Wynn with him all day

My buddy and I saw Mike Tyson in the lobby of the MGM last month when we were there. People started mobbing him and going crazy and security had to start pushing people out of the way. Girls were running up to him and twerking on him. It was hilarious.

A couple days earlier as we were leaving Hakkasan we were walking behind Andy Milonakis for like ten minutes, but I was so drunk I didn't realize it was him until after he finally went one way and we went another. All I was thinking was "man, why is this little kid in the middle of a casino at 4am!?" because obviously he sort of just looks like a little kid even though he's 35 or whatever.

Probably my best celeb story was years ago when we stayed at Planet Hollywood and were in that club Prive that used to be there and my buddy left with a girl and that girl's friend left with Joey Fatone from N'Sync (who was also staying at Planet Hollywood). Cut to 5 or 6am and the girl's friend is trying to get in touch with her friend that left with Joey but she isn't answering her cell phone. She knows what room Joey was in though because her friend told her (just in case things got weird I guess) so me being super drunk says that I'll call him for her, so I call the front desk and ask for his room number. They ask me for the last name on the room, I say "Fatone" and a minute later he answers like I just woke him up. I ask if he can put Priscilla on (the girl that he left with) and he says he will but then he just gets back on the phone and starts talking in a girl's voice saying "this is Priscilla." I keep saying "Joey, I know that's still you, put her on!" but he won't and then he finally starts yelling at me saying stuff like "Damn dog! Why are you calling me!?" The conversation goes no where after that so finally I say something like "Alright man, just tell Priscilla that her friend is looking for her" and then before I hang up I say "Bye, bye, bye Joey!" to which he is not amused. He yells some more and I hang up and head back down to the casino to gamble some more.

Vladimir Klitschko in the MGM lobby last year. My wasted cousin ran over and asked him "vladimir, vladimir...do you even lift bro? you're looking smaaaall"

Wayne Rooney was in a bungalow at EBC this year. Looking fat.

I saw Pauly D from Jersey Shore at XS in May... he had a super dooper tan.

Pretty cool idea!

Lebron James, Kim Kardashian, drummer from Blink, Slash, the main actor guy from Entourage, all at the Hard Rock at various times over the years.

Another time was eating at Lucky's 24/7 and heard a very familiar voice from a booth behind me. Turned around and it was Ving Rhames from Pulp Fiction.

For NFL/ESPN fans, had a lounge table at Wet Republic next to Marcellus Wiley and his lady. He bought bottles of Patron and we shared shots and poured him drinks from our Belvedere. Solid, fun guy.

I wish I wrote them all down. Vegas is tough, seen a ton of celebrities, but it's usually real quick in passing and I am a few cocktails in so the memory gets a little fuzzy!!!

Forgot to mention in 2008, saw Bruce Bowen at the Bellagio at 4am playing $500 min blackjack. Went up to him and got a picture. Cool guy. Saw Carmen Electra back in 2007 at a Studio 54 event. Last month, ran into Anthony Pettis on the Mgm casino floor.

MDW of 2012 I believe I saw all the football players at Cosmo. I was playing Craps w/ Vince Young and Rudy Gay at Cosmo. Then I have pictures with Vernon Davis and CJ2K.

Chris Bosh in the toilets at Wynn last year, i did not have a clue who it was until my mate told me.

Ron Jeremy at Moorea Beach Club - Labor Day Weekend 2012. My female friend took picture with him and chatted him up a bit. GF ran the other direction lol. It was funny when he showed up all the females at the pool (well all except a couple like my gf) all swooned over to talk to him leaving all the guys left standing with no girls around. This was right around time LMFAO and Party Rock video with Ron in it just came out.
