Actress Camilla Belle Celebrates 28th B-Day At LV Hotspot!

Steve Aoki & Camilla

This past weekend (Friday, Sept. 26) actress Camilla Belle was spotted enjoying a pre-birthday celebration at Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant and Nightclub inside MGM Grand. The soon to be twenty-eight year old fashion darling was joined by a number of close friends and was seen in good spirits, dancing and laughing into the night.

As the evening began, Belle and friends were spotted dining inside Hakkasan Restaurant's main dining room where they came together for the Hollywood actress' pre-birthday meal. Arriving just after 10 p.m., the enthusiastic group indulged in one of Hakkasan’s set menus which included a number of signature dishes including Hakka steamed dim sum platter and Spicy Prawn with Lily Bulb and Almonds. They seemed to fully enjoy their meal and time in the restaurant before making their way into the nightclub.

Raising the celebration to another level, the group was then escorted to their VIP table located on the main stage on the fourth level of the hot spot.  In awe of the energy and sights of the main room, the fashion icon and her guests got comfortable and immediately cranked up the party. Shortly after the group's arrival, a parade of confetti tossing cocktail waitresses surprised the young star with a decadent three-tiered cake adorned with soft blue tones, elegant pearl detailing and a monogram "C" to top it off. Belle, looking adorable in a black A-line cut Shoshanna dress with stunning emerald stone embellishments and black sequence peep-toe pumps, stood stunned by the dazzling cake and posed for a few photos with the remarkable creation.  As the night went on, Belle joined turntable sensation Steve Aoki in the DJ booth where he got on the mic to wish her a happy birthday. Just moments later the beautiful star was surprised by another cake, a Steve Aoki specialty, and as the crowd erupted with excitement Aoki held the cake up high and proceeded to “cake” the birthday girl. Her friends cheered her on as she put her hands in the air fully enjoying the moment. With her favorite DJ banging out popular tunes, Belle and her friends continued the celebration as they were seen dancing the night away in true Vegas fashion.
