Jenna Jameson in Las Vegas!! Sugar...Sugar!!!

Jenna and Tito

Adult entertainment megastar Jenna Jameson kicked off her birthday celebration with dinner at Sugar Factory American Brasserie at Paris Las Vegas last night. The blonde beauty dined on bruschetta, artichoke dip, ahi, turkey and beef sliders, NY strip steak and roast chicken with close friends and husband, UFC fighter Tito Ortiz. Jameson also indulged in Sugar Factory's milkshakes, which she thought were just were to die for.  No birthday would be complete without a few candles to blow out, so the birthday girl received an extra special birthday dessert of delectable ice cream sundaes lit up with sparklers!

After dinner, Jameson, dressed in bright red Versace mini dress and heels, accessorized with an Alexander McQueen knuckle duster clutch and a Chanel necklace – both birthday gifts from her beau, Ortiz,   browsed the aisles of the Sugar Factory retail store, filling her shopping bags with tons of candy. She loved the Buttered Popcorn Jelly Bellys and the Giant Five Pound Gummi Bear. She also snatched up plenty of apparel items, like Sugar Factory pajama bottoms, tunics and panties. But her most favorite item in Sugar Factory had to be the Hello Kitty designed line of Couture Pops, as she filled one of her bags with the adorable lollipops. After stocking up on sweets, Jameson headed upstairs for her birthday party at Chateau Nightclub.

A few tables down, Chad Rogers, of Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing," was also celebrating his birthday with friends. The group toasted to the birthday boy with crystal flutes of Veuve Cliquot champagne.

Pool at The Palazzo under the Vegas sun. Beverly Hills Housewives Kyle and Kim Richards kicked off the summer pool season in style while Spiegel joined in on the party presenting a fashion show featuring the new travel and swim collection. Models wore signature styles and were accessorized head-to-toe with jewels, animal prints and bright colors.

The sisters arrived to the Azure blue carpet strutting their Spiegel Signature Style as fans of the Housewives waved and shouted, “We love you!” When asked about Vegas on the carpet, Kim responded, “I love to come to Vegas now because you don’t just have to gamble…you can lounge by the pool or go to the spa and relax. I’ve been coming to Vegas more because of The Palazzo.” Kyle looked stunning with her long wavy locks and kept gushing about her services at Canyon Ranch SpaClub and her Lago suite, “I had the best manicure and pedicure…look at my toes and my suite is so gorgeous and spacious.”

As they entered the party, the pair went straight to the photo booth where they goofed off messing up each other’s hair, dressed up in oversized gold shades and Azure hats, played with beach balls and posed for fun photos.  Then the sisters made their way to the VIP cabana where they danced to the DJ, dined on Asian chicken salad, margherita pizza and fries and hung out with friends and family.

The Azure Luxury Pool brings the pool party to a new level of luxury with an intimate setting, lush greenery, relaxing fountains, exclusive amenities including poolside massages by Canyon Ranch SpaClub, a new hookah lounge and food from Wolfgang Puck. “It's beautiful here at Azure- just look around," said host Kyle Richards. “It's secluded yet a fun party with massages and delicious food.” Spiegel added something special as attractive male models walked around with iPads to find people’s Signature Styles. The ladies mixed and mingled with the crowd posing for many photos and chatting about their show. The day ended with a signature three tiered cake decorated with high-end fashion brands, zebra print and sparkles. “This cake is to die for,” shouted Kyle.
