Even though recording star Pharrell Williams has labeled his new clothing line as Billionaire Boys Club you don’t have to be a mega-millionaire to look stylish in them. The hip-hop producer launched Billionaire with a dazzling display at the tri-story Barneys New York department store at the Palazzo. He posed for photos and mingled with a crowd of excited fans -- including record star and actor Common and hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash. Pharrell returned to the Palazzo after his Mandalay Bay concert to continue celebrating there in the new Tao-owned Lavo restaurant and club.

Over at the Palms, American Idol singing sensation Kelly Clarkson was presented with a gold key necklace to the Playboy Club. Two smiling Playboy bunnies did the honors while Playboy beauties Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt joined Kid Rock, the Rev Run, Drew Gooden and Palms owner George Maloof for the fun festivities. Also at the Palms’ N9NE Steakhouse was Denver Nuggets basketball star Dahntay Jones, who stuck to cranberry juice and Fiji water with his rock shrimp, organic chicken, mac and cheese sides, creamed corn and lobster mash -- topped off with house-made carrot cake!
