For the first time, Paris Hilton has admitted that she and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt have discussed marriage, and he says the engagement ring will come soon! Celebrating her 29th birthday and their own relationship of a year, the couple partied until early this morning at Tao in The Venetian.

Hundreds of fans had earlier swarmed the stairs and escalators leading from the casino up to Tao. In the years I’ve been visiting The Venetian since it opened, I have never seen such a large crowd turn out for a celebrity. All of them were yelling “Happy Birthday” and “we love you” to the platinum blonde entrepreneur.

Photographer Denise Truscello was invited into the nighterie for these candid and intimate photos of Paris and Doug. I’ve added my own photo of Paris’ favorite hair guru, newly named Colorist of the Decade Michael Boychuck, who joined Paris, Doug and her parents Rick and Kathy Hilton for a birthday photograph. Michael and I had dinner at the adjoining table.

Tao owner Mark Packer flew out from New York headquarters with another group at another neighboring table. Our contributing photographer Scott Harrison was on red carpet duty along with videographer Richard Corey, who uploaded his footage to YouTube for us.

We’ll have the full exclusive and candid interview about their love match, the pending engagement and the marriage plans right here at Vegas DeLuxe tomorrow but wanted to get these special photos to you today. Be sure to check back to Vegas DeLuxe tomorrow for the conversation that will make headlines around the world!
