It was a whirlwind, double-duty Las Vegas visit for reality TV star Kim Kardashian over the weekend. Kim put her powered-up New York City romance with rapper Kanye West on hold for 24 hours when she flew into town to party at Rehab in the Hard Rock Hotel.

She also cast aside thoughts of the end-of-month legal depositions against New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries in their divorce when she launched her perfume True Reflection at Kardashian Khaos in the Mirage after Rehab.

Thousands of daytime revelers were on hand as the popular reality TV star appeared at the infamous Sunday pool party. Kim’s HRH entourage included Marla Esposito and Tao’s Mike Snedegar.
