Newest Celeb Sightings From Vegas!! Where?? Who??

Amber Rose enjoyed a quiet lunch yesterday with rumored boyfriend, James Harden of the Houston Rockets, at Morton Group's La Cave (www.lacavelv.com) at Wynn Las Vegas. The two were seated at a romantic corner table at the intimate dining spot, where they enjoyed house-made beef carpaccio and Moroccan chicken skewers.

Rose, who filed for divorce from Wiz Khalifa in September, has been rumored to be dating Nick Cannon, but he was in Chicago at the Sugar Factory American Brasserie grand opening over the weekend with singer-songwriter, Kreesha Turner.

Troy Aikman, legendary Dallas Cowboys quarterback and NFL on FOX analyst, dined at La Cave for lunch on Sunday. He sat in the beautiful garden lounge with a friend. They snacked on many small plate items, including La Cave’s signature mushroom grits, Moroccan chicken skewers and smoked salmon, which he accompanied with a Stella Artois draft.

Teen Mom Farrah Abraham Visits Vegas!

Farrah Abraham Rides Champagne

“Teen Mom” reality star Farrah Abraham made a special appearance at SLS Las Vegas, where she hosted the 2015 AVN Awards pre-party for Topco. The 23-year-old sex symbol arrived at LiFE Nightclub around 12:30 a.m. with new boyfriend Simon Saran, where they were joined by the ladies of Penthouse for a wild night of partying inside the hottest new mega club on the Las Vegas Strip.

The crowd immediately welcomed the duo as they entered the venue hand in hand. Abraham was seen wearing a corset, boy shorts and chaps as she carried her latest creation, the infamous “Blowup Doll Farrah,” into the club. They began the evening with specialty cocktails and sipped champagne while Michael Woods kicked off the first performance of his exclusive ‘Tequila Nites’ residency. Drinks flowed throughout the night and culminated in the arrival of the nightclub’s epic Champagne Horse, which Abraham rode through the club as she waved a brightly colored glowstick in the air. The young star then danced the night away atop one of the nightclub’s go go boxes. She was seen throughout the night kissing and flirting with Saran as they partied and took photos together.

Abraham was in town this weekend for her first-ever appearance at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and will be presenting tonight at the AVN Awards.

Sugar Factory In Chicago Opens W/Kylie Jenner & Nick Cannon

Kyle Jenner

Fans started lining up at 3 a.m. anxiously awaiting Kylie Jenner's arrival at the grand opening of Sugar Factory (www.sugarfactory.com) in Chicago yesterday evening. By the time the E!’s "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star arrived, an eruption of cheers arose from thousands of fans who were lined up in the street. Jenner, wearing a crocheted black Misha Collection dress and strappy Gianvito Rossi heels, posed for photographs as fans yelled, "I love you, Kylie" and "Will you go with me to prom?" Jenner handed out bags of Sugar Factory candy and hugged fans on the red carpet.

"This is amazing," said Jenner. "I went with my sister years ago when she opened Sugar Factory in Las Vegas, and to be here on my own doing it now, with all the fans. It's unreal."

Jenner also celebrated the launch of her very own signature "Black Diamond" and "Gray Sparkle" Sugar Factory Couture Pops, which she designed with her sister, Kendall. Their sparkly pops are now available at all Sugar Factory locations across the country.

 

Nick Cannon

The party really got started when Nick Cannon arrived later in the evening. The multi-talented entertainer was in great spirits, hugging fans, taking selfies and even jokingly stocking his pockets with Sugar Factory lollipops as he went on a candy shopping spree in the retail area. He then hit the DJ booth above the dining room and Chocolate Lounge and played a mix complete with "old school" favorites as fans loudly sang along. Singer-songwriter, Kreesha Turner, who has been rumored to be dating Cannon, danced alongside the DJ booth wearing an "Ncredible" medallion, from Cannon's label.

ABOUT SUGAR FACTORY

Sugar Factory offers a sweet escape with locations throughout Las Vegas, including retail stores at Fashion Show Mall, Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and MGM Grand, as well as Sugar Factory American Brasserie, complete with retail and the brand’s popular restaurant, at Paris Las Vegas and Town Square Las Vegas.
