Five beautiful Virgin America flight attendants jetting through Las Vegas are set to become the newest reality TV stars when Fly Girls premieres March 24 with its eight episodes on The CW. The April 14 episode features our Palazzo, so it was more than appropriate for all the stars to gather at Lagasse’s Stadium to celebrate the premiere.

The five Fly Girls, all of whom are based in L.A., are Mandy, Louise, Tasha, Nikole and Farrah, and the premiere reveals that as nice as they are at work, there are catfights, too. Former BFFs Nikole and Mandy’s claws are sharpened!

On the red carpet, Roxy Olin of The City looked sexy in a black Bec and Bridge dress and hot pink Isaac Mizrahi for QVC clutch with leopard print pumps. She said she wanted to go shopping for more outfits in the Palazzo Shoppes, especially at Barney’s New York. She also said she was eager to relax at the Palazzo after a busy filming schedule with The City and went for a massage at Canyon Ranch Spa, followed by dinner at Lavo.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi dazzled in a gray satin Bebe dress, and love was in the air -- she had rhinestone hearts on her red toenails. Boyfriend Slade Smiley and she embraced and walked hand in hand on the red carpet. Slade asked Gretchen’s father for her hand in marriage in last week’s episode, so she was asked when they would be getting married.

She remained tightlipped about a date and confused everybody by saying: “I’ve been married before, so for now we’re just having fun.” However, she did spill some Housewives gossip: For the first time, the men will be attending the reunion show.

Gretchen predicted: “Vicki will storm off the show, and all the men will give Slade a hard time.” Gretchen and Slade were at the Palazzo for Valentine’s Day two weeks ago. She told us: “We love the Palazzo! From the suites to the shopping to the restaurants, it’s amazing! We love coming to Las Vegas.”

Dancing With the Stars and Sex and the City stud Gilles Marini, who now appears on ABC’s Brothers and Sisters, was on his first visit to the Palazzo: “I'm so excited to be here and to have shrimp at Emeril’s Stadium. It’s great to be able to play a game of pool inside the luxury boxes of his sports bar.” Rumors about Gretchen appearing on the new DWTS season began when he dipped her in a dance, but she is not on the show. However, Gilles said he would be visiting the ABC show during Season 10.

Melrose Place hottie Shaun Sipos came down from his Palazzo suite in good spirits. “Let’s roll!” he said while being escorted into the party. He revealed that in the new season, he and another character would start committing burglaries and someone would wind up in jail! After the premiere party, Shaun and friends hit Lavo. During the weekend, he also enjoyed a deep tissue massage at Canyon Ranch Spa and returned to Lavo on the second night for dinner.

KELIS IN LAS VEGAS

Meantime, singer-songwriter Kelis brought her milkshake to town to party for the weekend. She kicked off her festivities with actress Dania Ramirez on a girls’ night out at The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. It was her second time seeing the show, the first back in September 2007 with then-husband hip-hop heavyweight Nas. During this visit, she had dinner at Eva Longoria Parker’s Beso in MGM CityCenter’s Crystals and also performed upstairs in Eve the Nightclub, where she was presented with a cake.
