It was a nonstop weekend party for rock guitarist Slash as he celebrated his 44th birthday in town. Slash spent the first part of his birthday lounging at Bare topless pool in The Mirage. DJ Samantha Ronson, without Lindsay Lohan in tow, stopped by to wish him Happy Birthday as she was unable to attend his parties.

The group festivities began with a cocktail party at Rhumbar in The Mirage and continued with a celebration birthday dinner at Stack in The Mirage. The group’s third stop of the night was at the adjoining Jet, where a guitar-shaped birthday cake was presented to Slash. Slash’s wife, Perla Hudson, was the first to take two slices so she could feed one to him.
