I've only got a few so far, one I dont count is seeing Steve Wynn last Memorial Day weekend, pretty cool to see a guy like that around a hotel with his name on it, though I've heard he's around quite a bit. Otherwise I've seen Donald Faison (black guy on Scrubs) playing craps at Palazzo next to me, and the one and only Jaleel White, otherwise known as Urkel playing craps one table over from me with a mini-entourage at Encore a few months back.
~hasn't ever spotted a celeb in all the trips I've been on to Vegas Mind you, I'm oblivious to who's who anymore lol With all the new 20-something celebs, they could walk right by me and I'd never know lol
What's a celeb? I see "star" poker players and pro athletes quite often on the course: Ivey, Negreanu, Hellmuth, Tiger, Gulbis, the Round Mound, the Maddux boyz, drivers, etc. And what about that wonderful festering mass of semi-humanity that populated NBA ThugFest several years back?? Special. Pat Riley at Canyon Ranch. Or was that Phil Jackson? Probably passed by a lot of folks who are "somebody" and it didn't register or it just went in one and out the other. And let's not forget Anthony Curtis!! Oh, saw Emeril once. Puck a couple times. Agreed, Rose doesn't count. Neither does OJ for anyone going the incarceration route.
mark cuban @ ghost bar...seemed like a real genuine nice guy, got off elevator @ GB right as I was going back to the bathroom, he crossed the hallway to another elevetor..not sure where it went but as he was waiting we said what's up and he chatted to somebody else for a while. george karl walking around the mirage about 2am with a hawaiian shirt on, cocktail and cigar...said hello and he smiled real big and said hey! Jordan @ his table at JET random nba players @ JET a different night although I can't remember exactly who they were jerry rice walking around with a mass of people during his dancing with the stars prime @ paris one of the nsync ******bags can't remember his name either (not timberlake) young joc @ body english (bastard bumped our table to the back corner smh) ricky henderson was @ mirage playing 3 card poker when I stumbled down @ 4am to make my 630 flight..was sitting with my friend @ the table who was destroyed drunk, sounded like a nice guy though saw lennox lewis walking around mandalay the weekend before a big fight (not his) a while back, didn't approach he's an intimidating looking guy lol antoine walker back in '01 or so walking around solo going back to the mirage private villas entrance urkle @ jet sure im missing a few...but always seem to run into somebody
Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson and some other former Georgetown players at Barbary Coast back in the late 90's. I think I read that the owner (at the time) of the BC was a good friend of John Thompson and they used to have a G-Town reunion there. Bob Huggins - walking through Bally's back when he was still at UC. Montel Williams (is he a celeb? LOL) - almost knocked each other down in MGM one night. Apparently he was running late for a TVKO or HBO fight gig, came around the corner and WHAM! ran right into me. Whitney Houston - playing roulette in the Desert Inn back in the early 90's John Daly - Bally's Pete Rose - Too many times, too many places. Penn Jillette - in an elevator at Bally's. Dude is TALL
James Woods standing + playing BJ....can't remember the casino ? Jimmie "Kid Dyno-mite" Walker walking thru Tropicana David Brenner showing his young son the Pirate Ships at TI . I left all these people alone . Saw Bobby Duval ( talking on his cell ) sitting outside Binion's - between "takes" - It was the filming of "Lucky You". I yelled over to him, but I didn't wait for any acknowledgement - probably flipped me "the bird" anyway ? :evillaugh
Talked to Wolfgang Puck years ago outside Caesars. Saw comedian Stephen Wright at the Paris coffee shop (the cafe) but didn't bother him
Mark Wahlberg and Giovanni Ribisi @ Pure Mike Tyson @ Bellagio Anthony Kim @ Luxor Pete Rose @ Forum Shops Flava Flav @ Palms Richard Karn @ Mirage I have also seen pretty much every big name poker player you can think of
My girlfriend and I saw Robin Antin, the brains behind the Pussycats Dolls. She was in Intermix at ceasars forum shops trying to decide on shoes to wear to the VMA's .'My girlfriend talked shoe styles for several minutes and Robin was very nice to us . She was very beautiful with no makeup a tank top and cut off jeans.
Last August, I saw Ice T and his wife in the Fashion Show Mall, I did get a little star struck and got his bodyguard to take a photo of us
Drew Barrymore at the Venetian, with her then boyfriend Rocco something or other. She was very tiny and very cute. Ryan Seacrest preparing for some New Year's Eve event on the strip in the early morning. Hmmm...I know we've seen more but I'll have to come back after I check in with the hubster.
have you ever seen anyone famous in Vegas, not during a show, but just happen to see them ? none for me
We saw the Rock at PH when they were filming Return to Witch or Space Mountain. Our daughter got to meet him. He is sooo nice, and sooo handsome!
Sightings I am always looking for famous people when we travel. Whether it be in Vegas, Florida, on a cruise, ine the Carribean.... my husband thinks I am too much of a people watcher lol We met Barbara Mandrell a few years back in the Forum Shops when she was performing in Vegas. We saw Pete Rose hustling his autographs in the Forum Shops, at the airport we saw Topher Grace & Danny Masterson form that 70s show, and Mrs Chancellor from the Young & the Restless. Ate at the N9ne Steakhouse twice in the Palms and saw Andre Agassi at the bar eating once, and then Paul Pierce with two other NBA players. I always love to read Norms Confidential in the Review Journal to see who is in town when we are visiting. The night the Celtic players were at N9ne there were other celebritits there the paper said but we missed them......
