When People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2009 issue hit newsstands last week, readers discovered a delicious eyeful of some of the hottest men on Earth all stretched out in sexy settings in Las Vegas, including Caesars Palace and outside the Flamingo.

Sex and the City star Gilles Marini posed in Caesars Palace’s opulent 8,000-square-foot Centurion Tower penthouse, which has been home for many famous faces, including The Colosseum headliner Bette Midler. During the photo shoot, Gilles, who was the runner-up with Cheryl Burke in last season’s finale of Dancing With the Stars, even played a game of golf at the penthouse’s private putting green.

NBC’s Will & Grace also filmed a season finale in this suite, which includes an oversized jacuzzi and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip.

This year’s sleeper hit comedy The Hangover had not one but two stars on the list of the sexiest men: Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha. Justin was photographed at the new Garden of the Gods at the Bacchus Pool, featuring two private pools and eight cabanas overlooking the breathtaking 5-acre pool oasis.

When Brad stayed at the hotel during the summer shoot and experienced the Roman baths of Qua Bath & Spa, he told People: “Staying at Caesars Palace, I've got to say, that spa is pretty nice!”

Heartthrob Matthew Morrison, star of the hit Fox show Glee, who also appears in the issue with co-stars Cory Monteith and Mark Salling photographed outside the Flamingo, added: “I spend half the day in the spa when I stay at Caesars. It has a snow room, different pools and a jacuzzi.”

As The Hangover stars prepare to return to Caesars to launch the DVD release in mid-December (click HERE for our exclusive last week), Caesars Palace is offering a Hangover package that includes a $50 food and beverage credit, a complimentary in-room Hangover movie and an authentic Warner Bros. Hangover T-shirt. The package begins at $152 per night, and don’t forget Caesars’ National Hangover Day party deals on Jan. 1.
