Superstar singer Beyonce put last week’s pregnancy rumors to rest while partying in Las Vegas over the weekend with hip-hop husband Jay-Z after his sold-out concert at The Pearl in the Palms. Not only did she wear a sexy, skin-tight dress, but she also enjoyed her Ace of Spades champagne and partied into the pre-dawn hours at Tao in The Venetian. Then she continued with gaming in the high-roller lounge Mint at the Palms, where Jay-Z and she stayed in one of the Fantasy Tower suites.

It was a sell-out-to-the-max for Jay-Z’s final show of his tour, and photographers Denise Truscello and Erik Kabik captured the incredible performance shots. Special guests Young Jeezy and Trey Songz also performed with Jay-Z. Among the VIP audience were Ndamukong Suh, who is expected to be one of the top two picks in the 2010 NFL Draft, and David Lee and Tracy McGrady of the New York Knicks.

After the concert, Jay-Z was ready to party and celebrate the final tour gig, with Beyonce, Young Jeezy and Larry Johnson of the Washington Redskins leading the entourage over to Tao. Co-owner Jason Strauss was ecstatic in reporting that Tao’s records were broken, with 1,400 people being served dinner and more than 7,000 clubgoers passing through the nightclub doors.

Jay-Z’s group took over Tao’s private dining room for dinner highlighted by his own Ace of Spades champagne to go with their orders of sushi, Kobe beef and sea bass. Then up in the packed nightclub where Denise took these special shots, Jay-Z took over several tables on the dance floor as clubgoers clamored to get photos and a glimpse of the superstars. The hip-hop mogul was in great spirits and sang and danced to the sounds of DJ Vice, who kept Jay-Z’s hits in heavy rotation.

My spywitness told me: “Beyonce let her husband shine, clearly having a blast herself, but staying a bit more low key as she sat on the banquette at the table. The Ace of Spades champagne flowed freely, and Jay-Z even autographed a huge bottle of the bubbly for the club. They stayed until just after 4 a.m., stopping on the way out to thank DJ Vice for killing it all night long.”

Shawn and Damon Wayans grabbed the table next to Jay-Z, and sports stars including NFL players Melvin Fowler, Steven Jackson, Dwight Freeney and Fred Smoot plus NBA players Tracy McGrady and Al Harrington all had VIP tables. Among the others partying were Ndamukong Suh, singer Jay Sean after dining with friends next door at Lavo in the Palazzo and Tao regular David Spade, who had his favorite dish of Kung Pao chicken.

Jay-Z and Beyonce were still not finished with their partying after they left Tao. They returned to the Palms, but before retiring for the night to one of George Maloof’s two-story sky villas atop the Fantasy Tower, they played blackjack inside Mint. No word about wins or losses, I’m afraid!

TREY SONGZ AT EVE

Meanwhile, R&B sensation Trey Songz performed his opening act at Jay-Z’s concert and then rushed off to entertain revelers at Eve the Nightclub with a midnight performance of his hits, including the new “Say Aah.” Fans lined up outside Crystals at MGM’s CityCenter, where Eva Longoria Parker’s nightclub is located, hoping to get inside to see Trey perform. As he performed “Say Aah,” the crowd sang along with their hands in the air.

Our spywitness reported: “Trey hyped up everyone at Eve. He was having a great time and didn’t hide it, and you could feel the excitement in the crowd. He clearly enjoyed being on the microphone and even said, ‘I’m having a special after-party in my room tonight, and I’m looking for a lucky lady to bring with me.’ ”

His comment prompted an enthusiastic response from the ladies, and he selected several fans to join him and his friends in his VIP area. He celebrated the tour’s success and closing night with a cigar and gigantic champagne cake, plus Ace of Spades champagne.
