Dawn, sipped on Grey Goose vodka cocktails and also enjoyed a special birthday version of celebrity chef David Burke’s famous “Cheesecake Lollypop” tree! Fans turned out in force to greet her –- and she happily posed for photos with as many of them as possible.

Over at the new “Wet Republic” swim party at MGM Grand, Mario Lopez celebrated his debut as anchor of the nightly entertainment news show, Extra! Just named People magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor in America,” Mario has just wrapped the MTV talent search contest Top Pop Group. He decided a mini Vegas vacation was the perfect way to unwind from one show before starting the next! He relaxed in a luxurious VIP bungalow with friends and stuck to his fitness routine of water and sugar free Red Bulls. He snacked on Mongolian chicken sticks served with a coconut-pineapple habanera dip and a romaine hearts of lettuce salad! Mario posed contentedly with fans for photos including the gorgeous Cazadores dancers, who livened up the crowd with Mexican holiday music.

Directly across the pools stunning Playboy model Brittany Fuchs celebrated her 23rd birthday. The sexy pin-up knockout, who danced the day away with friends, was featured in such Playboy’s special editions as: Sexy 100, Girls of MySpace and College Girls.
