It’s official confirmation of the romance we reported yesterday on Vegas DeLuxe (click HERE). Paris Hilton and handsome The Hills reality newcomer and baseball player Doug Reinhardt are definitely one of Hollywood’s hottest new couples.

These are the first official photos, by our contributing photographers Erik Kabik and Denise Truscello, of the twosome who have avoided Hollywood paparazzi since starting their Valentine’s Day dating spree. They were not photographed together on a trip to Japan, and only dark, grainy shots of them at three Hollywood restaurant dinners have turned up. One TV show Web site did post poor video of them kissing in a parking lot earlier this week.

Doug and Paris flew in by private jet and checked in together late yesterday at the Hard Rock Hotel, where she will celebrate her 28th birthday tonight with three spectacular celebrations.

Paris and Doug brought in 15 friends from Tinseltown and rolled up to the hotel in a caravan of Hard Rock SUVs. She smiled and said hello to resort guests as she waltzed up to her superstar penthouse suite. “I can’t wait to get the weekend going,” she laughed.

First item on the agenda though, was hair and makeup, and her secret weapon hair guru Michael Boychuck, who runs the Amp and Drift Salons at the Palms and Colors salon at Caesars Palace, sprang into action with his team!

Ready for her weekend-long party schedule, it got underway last night with a 20-person dinner party in Robert De Niro’s Italian restaurant AGO at the hotel. Paris wore a short, sparkly dress with a headband.

Doug kicked off the fun with a toast to the table, saying, “Here’s to the world’s prettiest girl.” Paris pulled her favorite snapshot digi-cam from her purse and took a photo of Doug during the toast. Then the two kissed.

She thanked her friends for coming and said, “Tonight will be more low key so that tomorrow we will do it up. Tomorrow is Beacher’s Madhouse, and who knows, someone might get arrested.” The group laughed, and Paris finished by saying, “but we’re in f****** Vegas, so let’s party!”

Paris and Doug were openly affectionate during dinner; she even rubbed his leg throughout the meal. While at the Hard Rock, Paris and Doug also have hit Carey Hart's Wasted Space and the resort's new Poker Lounge, where they played in a mini tournament after dinner.

Paris organized a late-night bowling tournament in her penthouse and called it quits at 5 a.m. today. Doug and Paris didn't leave each other's side for more than two minutes -- "they were a permanent fixture together," one spywitness said.

Tonight, she’ll walk the red carpet at 11 after another celebration dinner. Her official party will be at Body English, with a mini concert by Chester French followed by the private Beacher’s Madhouse shenanigans in her penthouse suite. Jeff Beacher promises the best blowout bash of crazy circus cabaret acts before taking his show on a cross-country tour (click HERE).

Vegas DeLuxe will have full coverage throughout the weekend -- and, as an invited guest, I’ll report front the very front line of all the party action!
