Denzel Washington cuts into the action at Tryst.

As if the courtside kings of commerce weren’t sufficient for the Vegas weekend over at Wynn and its exclusive Tryst nightclub well-heeled members of both the Walgreen’s and Cuervo families showed up to welcome the victorious Team USA celebration. NBA star and USA Basketball veteran Jason Kidd hosted the festivities at the Flex-Power sports cream party at Tryst. Kidd spent the night celebrating the Americans' victory against Canada with former United States soccer star Claudio Reyna at one the dance-floor tables after dinner at Wynn’s Terrace Point café.

Other celebrities making a night of it at Tryst’s celebration included Memphis Grizzlies forward Antoine Walker, country music star Toby Keith and former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., for a second consecutive night. Next door at the Blush boutique nightspot, Kobe Bryant popped the cork on the Cristal champagne to celebrate with LeBron James and Darren Williams -- and that led to a "Cristal Champagne" clash with another customer and bottles and bottles of the world’s best bubbly kept on coming surrounded with sparklers held by the stunning servers -- but both gave up declaring victory after they stopped keeping score! For the record this is the second champagne war that Kobe has played in and this one was way more subdued than the first!

To continue the party into the dawn hours both Toby and Floyd went onto Drai’s After Hours inside Bills Gamblin’ Hall at center-Strip, where former world boxing champion Mike Tyson and Chicago Bulls star Drew Gooden were enjoying the scene.
