Vegas is in full swing with a slew of celebration parties and rap-soul singer, Kanye West, got a full turnout at his Valentine's Day bash at TAO in The Venetian early this morning. It was 2AM before Kanye, arm in arm with his fiance Alison Rainey, turned up in jeans, Gucci jacket and Nike Air Jordans -- three hours after the party started! But it was still going strong at 5AM and I'm guessing when this was written at6AM, they are all just turning into bed for some much needed sleep!!!

Waiting for him though for the grand entrance was Russell Simmons, Courtney Hansen, Kritik designer Jonathan Cheban, Jody Sweetin ('Full House'), retired Indiana Pacers player Reggie Miller (pictured), Darrius Love, Michelle Rodriguez, fashion designer Anand Jon, J.P. Calderon and Brian Kehoe from the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Ray J, Miami Heat player Antoine Walker, Cee-Lo (candid pics) from Gnarls Barkley, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Lupe Fiasco.

TAO's VIP section was packed with a mix of music heavyweights, fashion industry royalty in town for the MAGIC convention and the sports stars kicking off NBA All-Star weekend. Brandy baron Maurice Hennessy who sponsored the party presented Kanye with an engraved bottle of the world's best cognac!

Discussions about an NBA team moving to Vegas intensified last night when Sacramento Kings owners, Gavin and Joe Maloof played dinners hosts to NBA Commissioner David Stern at the City's Best restaurant, N9NE Steakhouse, inside their brother, George Maloof's Palms resort hotel.

Nearby was actor Dennis Hopper who had earlier screened the 'Hoosiers' basketball movie as a CineVegas' salute to NBA All-Star weekend. He had a busy night introducing rock group Whitestar who kicked off Playboy Magazine's Rock the Rabbit promotion with a concert in RAIN and finally he got to relax with bunny servers Molly and Cerra up in the rooftop Playboy Club.

N9NE was also the venue for rapper 50 Cent's 'thank you' party for all the staff of his clothing line that he'd unveiled at MAGIC. Despite the fact he was mobbed by fans, he did pose for all their photo-requests. Also on the VIP partying list at the Palms this morning: world poker champion Eric Seidel, boxing champ Sugar Shane Mosely, NBA star-player Rick Barry and tennis ace Mark Philippoussis.

Our dusk to dawn patrol of Vegas nightlife rocks on!

'LOVE' the Nightlife, Love to Boogie

Party Hardy
The party nightlife scene rolled on at Studio 54's 'Influence' celebration at MGM Grand for the Ed Hardy fashion show that drew a huge turn-out. Celebrities included David Hasselhoff -- who also got on stage at the end of the show to thank the crowd and invite everyone to come see 'The Producers' -- Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier, French rock legend and co-designer of Audigier's SMET line, Johnny Hallyday and Gnarls Barkley.

The celebrity models included Victoria's Secret model K.D. Aubert (pictured), Jennylee Berns from 'Beauty and the Geek' and actor Cory Hardrict. The show featured performances by krumpers Lil' C and Miss Prissy, who gained notoriety from Madonna's 'Hung Up' music video and David LaChappelle's docudrama 'Rize.'
