To launch the new “Daylife Sundays” summer parties at Wet Republic ultra pool in MGM Grand, sex kitten Carmen Electra simultaneous celebrated her 37th birthday, and it turned into a smashing event! With fiance and Korn rocker Rob Patterson on her arm, Carmen looked the picture of innocence in a sexy blue summer dress and gold aviator sunglasses.

But who knew the mischief she was plotting! Rob also rocked the turntables as a guest DJ and gave her a public shout-out, saying, “Happy Birthday, from me to you, I love you.” Once esconced in her exclusive bungalow, Carmen invited in an entourage of beautiful girls to party with her, including Brazilian bad girl Mercia, the tequila-loving star from Season 3 of VH1’s Rock of Love!

Our contributing photographers Jill Ann Gifford and Erik Kabik were on duty at the red carpet and the party for our exclusive Vegas DeLuxe photo gallery!

When a four-tiered pink and white birthday cake was delivered to Carmen, the entire jam-packed pool came to a halt in a massive “Happy Birthday” sing-along. Carmen grabbed the top tier, broke it into pieces by smashing it into the pool deck and then good-naturedly threw it into the crowd.

At that point, Rob presented her with his birthday surprise. He ushered Carmen to a bungalow, where he’d set up a video. It was a montage of all her Hollywood friends and family wishing her a “Happy Birthday,” including cheeky comments from gossip guru Perez Hilton and her Disaster Movie co-star Kim Kardashian.

Carmen, Rob and their friends spent the remainder of the day dancing and partying. She summed it up: “This couldn’t have been hotter.”
