It may just have been the most dazzling week of sports stars and celebrities at Victor Drai's Tryst nightclub in the Wynn since its glittering gala opening more than two years ago. Luxe Life has the inside-club photos of all the VIPs.

Los Angeles Lakers hero Luke Walton was there the same night as Baltimore Ravens star Terrell Suggs and Milwaukee Bucks player Richard Jefferson. They were wide-eyed as former world boxing champ and our hometown wonderman Floyd Mayweather Jr. walked in carrying two massive stacks of dollar bills. With boxing champion Andre Berto and Floyd’s manager Leonard Ellerbe in tow Floyd came “to make it rain’ by throwing stacks of the money onto revelers partying on the dance floor.

Also there -– all on the same evening -- were LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets, NBA stars Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets) Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz), Sam Cassell (Boston Celtics) New York Rangers player Nigel Dawes, and Tennessee Titans tight end Dwayne D. Blakley. Tyler Ellis, the daughter of late fashion designer icon Perry Ellis, celebrated her 21st birthday amongst the galaxy of stars. Poker players Tom Wang, Chris Von Halle and Johnathon Stanton in town for the World Series of Poker swapped their card tables for the Tryst dance floor. (See some of the celebs in acton here.)

During the week the other celebrities included Caesars Palace headliner Bette Midler with some of her Showgirl cast, Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Kidd, actor Paulo Constanzo from the Road Trip comedy movie, gorgeous Miss Nevada 2008, Veronica Grabowski, British soccer star Shaun Wright-Phillips, who plays for the Chelsea team, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor and comedy actor Brandon Molale from the Dodgeball movie
