"Twilight" Actress Nikki Reed escapes the daylight and parties for her b/day in Sin City!

Nikki and friends

Nikkie and Paul McDonald

“Twilight” actress Nikki Reed celebrated her 23rd birthday at Gallery Nightclub ( www.GalleryLV.com ) at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino last night. The gorgeous actress partied with a group of close friends, family and her new beau, American Idol contestant, Paul McDonald. The affectionate couple was seen dancing, kissing and whispering into each other’s ears throughout the night. 

Reed spent her time at a private VIP booth, sipping on Grey Goose vodka and Red Bull as she mingled with her friends, danced and laughed all evening. Reed, who was dressed to impress in a curve-hugging black mini dress and black Miu Miu pumps, was surprised with a lavish, hand-crafted birthday cake from confectionary emporium, Sugar Factory, before the night ended.
