Actress Rumer Willis celebrated her 21st birthday over the weekend at Tao in The Venetian joined by her family, including mom Demi Moore and stepdad Ashton Kutcher, dad Bruce Willis and his new wife, Emma Heming, and younger sisters Tallulah and Scout. Rumer arrived at Tao with boyfriend Micah Alberti in a vintage dress, Fendi heels and vintage jewels.

Rumer’s co-stars in her upcoming film Sorority Row, including Audrina Patridge and her boyfriend Corey Bohan, Briana Evigan, Margo Harshman and Jamie Chung, along with close friend Matt Dallas, attended her milestone birthday. Photographers Denise Truscello, Erik Kabik and Scott Harrison were on hand to capture the festivities for our photo gallery.

After a dinner of Tao favorites including the Chilean sea bass, tofu lettuce wraps and crispy rice, the official birthday began when the clock struck midnight. The party toasted with Patron Platinum, and a cake replicating her favorite berry cake from an L.A. bakery was presented to the birthday girl. After the candles were blown out, Bruce and Demi hugged, sharing in their daughter’s excitement.

Rumer’s entourage, minus the not-yet-21 Tallulah and Scout, headed upstairs to Tao nightclub to continue the celebration. The large group, including Soleil Moon Frye and her husband, Jason Goldberg, who is Ashton’s business partner, Holly Madison and Robert Earl took over several tables in the VIP moat section. Rumer was pulled up on to the catwalk and surprised with a second cake delivered by showgirls, while a classic Las Vegas Elvis impersonator sang “Happy Birthday.”

Later, a Madonna impersonator brought over a bottle of Cristal -- Madonna and Rumer share the same birthday. Rumer and her cast mates partied at Tao until the wee hours, with Rumer saying she felt so lucky to be celebrating her birthday at Tao surrounded by her family and friends.

Arriving around 4 a.m. was rapper Nelly, along with several up-and-coming rappers. The group drank Moet Nectar Rose, Patron Silver and Grey Goose and jumped on the microphone and entertained the crowd until nearly 5 a.m.
