The lip-locked stars were passionate about spending Valentine’s Day in Sin City! They kissed cheek-to-cheek, they cuddled cozily and they nuzzled nicely as Cupid’s arrow found its mark on the day of love. Along with our contributing photographers, we just about managed to keep up with all the affairs of the heart!

2009 Valentine's Day: Las Vegas

*It was a true Valentine’s Day affair at Pure in Caesars Palace with The Hills couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. They hosted a posh soiree at the nightspot after waltzing down the red carpet. Flashbulbs and fans greeted the pair when they hit the main VIP stage. Spencer surprised Heidi with a massive bouquet of white roses and then popped the cork on a magnum of Veuve Clicquot champagne. The twined twosome danced together throughout the night and took time out to take photos and mingle with their fans. Then they simply snuggled up with each other on a VIP bed before calling it a night at 3 a.m.

*New lovers Bridget Marquardt and film director Nick Carpenter were hand-in-hand at Studio 54 inside MGM Grand. Bridget looked oh so sweet to celebrate Valentine’s Day dressed in a skimpy red dress and sporting heart-shaped sunglasses, a colorful lollipop and a teddy bear! Fans were in a flashbulb frenzy for the former Girls Next Door star and February Playboy cover girl -- and went even crazier when another pair of sweethearts, her friends Criss Angel and Holly Madison, showed up to join her party!

*Romance was in the air at Lavo inside the Palazzo for Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica Hart and her rocker boyfriend Nicolas Potts of Tamarama from MTV’s The City. The dating duo had a romantic dinner in the restaurant and then went upstairs to the nightclub.

Also spotted at Lavo were members of The Plain White T’s. In between their Ketel One vodka drinks, they were surrounded by females who made no secret that they’d run off with the “Hey There Delilah” hit makers as a prized Valentine.

*Twilight star Billy Burke dined at Tao before heading up to the nightclub, where the sexy models of Frederick’s of Hollywood featured a fashion show of barely there unmentionables!

*I was inches away on my own dinner date at Japonais in The Mirage when I spotted stunning Halle Berry with baby daddy beau Gabriel Aubrey. The sweethearts were hand-in hand and kissing romantically over a sensual sushi and sashimi supper. The mood between the actress and the handsome French-Canadian model was true love because they walked out arms around each other to see Cirque du Soleil’s Beatles musical Love.

*Hometown heroes Andre Agassi and Steffi Graff celebrated their Valentine's Day with dinner at chef Kerry Simon’s sixth-floor poolside restaurant at George Maloof’s Palms Place condo-tel. They ordered their favorite Junk Food Platter dessert that includes cupcakes, Snowballs, cookies, caramel popcorn, a mini sundae, a milkshake, Rice Krispie-Froot Loop treats, brownies and cotton candy.

Elsewhere in the Palms, St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson dined at N9NE Steakhouse with his girlfriend. He drank B-52s (coffee liqueur, Bailey's Irish Cream and Grand Marnier) throughout dinner, in which they shared rock shrimp, oysters Rockefeller and a porterhouse steak.

Gene Adler, 80, and Mickie Hollander, 72, at their Defending the Caveman nuptials.

*Remember in our Friday posting we told you about the old-timers who were going to get married on Valentine’s Day? Well 80-year-old Gene Adler and 72-year-old Mickie Hollander did tie the knot after watching the comedy Defending the Caveman at the Excalibur. The Las Vegas residents who met at the show last summer were married by its star, ordained minister Kevin Burke. The happy couple were accompanied by more than 20 family and friends and numerous audience members who joined in the celebration. Upon leaving the stage as a married couple, they walked through a line of cavemen and cavewomen who formed an archway with wooden cave clubs. The party continued with a reception of champagne and cake organized by executives of Excalibur, where hundreds of casino customers shouted their congratulations. The enthusiastic, young at heart couple said they wanted a wedding that would provide a wonderful experience and believed that celebrating with their favorite show would be the ideal memory!

Congratulations to Gene and Mickie from all of us at Vegas DeLuxe!
