Victor Cruz from the New York Giants celebrates his Super Bowl victory at Tao.

On Saturday night, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz celebrated the Super Bowl win with a party at Tao at the Venetian. Joined by his girlfriend and a group of friends, the wide receiver first dined on sushi, tempura and Kobe rib eye from chef Michael Armstrong before heading up to the club where he was greeted by thrilled club goers.

Cruz danced to hip-hop music from DJ Vice and took photos and talked with fans throughout the night, regularly making his way over to them as they begged to shake his hand.

The football star was coerced by DJ Vice to show off his signature end zone salsa and continued dancing through the night, even getting up to dance on the Tao catwalk with teammate Prince Amukamara. Cruz was thrilled with his cake and loved that all of the cocktail waitresses and go go dancers wore tank tops bearing his number 80.

Actor Miles Teller from “Footloose” on both the stage and screen also dined at Tao, drinking TAO-Tini and Geisha Girl cocktails while dining on sea bass and crispy rice and later hit the nightclub.

At Lavo at the Palazzo, Niecy Nash hit the club after dining at the Italian hot spot. The “Dancing with the Stars” contestant danced and sang along to some old school hip hop from DJ Dig Dug.

William Demps Jr. was at Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The NFL free agent was joined by friends including retired cornerback Jason Bell. They took in the sounds of ATB from a VIP table in the main room.

Roger Mathews feeds Jenni JWoww Farley chocolate-covered treats.

Jenni “JWoww” Farley celebrated her birthday at Sugar Factory American Brasserie at Paris Las Vegas last night.

The reality TV princess arrived on the arm of her boyfriend Roger Mathews wearing a flowing red chiffon dress paired with black Betsey Johnson pumps.

The New Jersey bombshell and her beau kicked off the festivities by toasting to her 26th birthday with a round of Berry Bliss Goblets. Farley and her friends were treated to a sampling of the popular Strip-side eatery’s dishes that included a jumbo shrimp cocktail, mixed greens salad, pan-roasted Pacific salmon and grilled mini burgers.

Farley’s dinner ended with a surprise assorted dessert platter including cupcakes, and Sugar Factory’s newest treats, white chocolate and milk chocolate-covered Twinkies.

Before leaving the Vegas hot spot, the birthday girl stopped into Sugar Factory’s flagship retail store next to the restaurant to browse for some post-dinner treats. She stocked her goodie bag up with Runts candies. Fans poured into the candy shop when word spread that Farley was in the building.

Also spotted at Sugar Factory was top female Latin artist Jenni Rivera, who was in town celebrating her son’s birthday. The singing sensation sipped on a Blow Pop martini and shared Ahi tuna sliders, cheese pizza and grilled Black Angus filets with her family. Rivera surprised her son with a tray of cupcakes to commemorate his special day.

On Saturday February 11, ROC NATION hosted their annual exclusive pre-Grammy brunch at the private members’ club Soho House West Hollywood with this year’s partner, NOKIA , and music by DJ Samantha Ronson.

After visiting Palmilla, I now know why they call it the “One and Only.” I traveled there about a week ago with my husband, and we met other couples. What a beautiful resort! Impeccably landscaped, the rooms are also divine and have beautiful views that span the area. Settled in the Sea of Cortez in Los Cabos, Mexico, the Palmilla is quite spectacular.

The service, above all, is what impressed me the most. All of the rooms have a private butler who unpacks and packs your luggage. This leaves little time wasted while you are on vacation. My clothes, shoes and handbags were so beautifully arranged in the closet that it made me feel as though I should not disturb them.

The other noticeable service-related amenity is that the concierge is happy to oblige any request. For example, I wanted to take a cooking class and learn how to make ceviche and fish tacos. The property did not offer one, but they arranged one for my guest and I in the kitchen. They gave us a private lesson along with guacamole, homemade chips and margaritas, of course. It was a very special treat! They also emailed us the instructions to take home with us, so that I could share the recipe with friends and family during dinner parties.

The small Catholic church on the premises was adorable. We went to the 45 min service on Sunday to wash away our three days of drinking and the priest was wonderful, well spoken and gave us a blessing as though it were our anniversary. The small cathedral could have been from a movie, and it was packed on Sunday morning. All in all, it was truly a sensational experience!

At the adult infinity pool, which overlooked the waves crashing on the beach, there were massage therapists giving 10 min foot massages free of charge. I think that was my favorite part of the trip (besides the tequila).

The food was outstanding. All of the local ingredients had vibrant colors. One a scale from one to ten, the food was a ten. All of the chefs were on point, and my favorite meal was the shrimp and fish tacos (that I ordered almost everyday by the pool for lunch).

I took some photos of a typical breakfast, and it looked like art. It was a true culinary experience, blending healthy food with a Mexican twist. The flavors would dance around in your mouth.

The Palmilla picks you up from the airport in a hummer, with a driver in uniform, and water and snacks in the car waiting for you. From the moment you are in their hands, they take care of you. It wasn’t easy on my husband’s wallet, though, so I hid the bill and said “just close your eyes and sign.”

Lauren Conrad parties with friends at Hyde.

Last night, fashion designer and reality TV icon Lauren Conrad celebrated her 26th birthday at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas with an entourage of close friends including her “The Hills” co-star Frankie Delgado.

The group headed to the new nightspot at the Bellagio. Looking stunning in a sequined blue dress, black pumps and chic ponytail, the star smiled playfully on the red carpet for a slew of photographers. Conrad then made her way into the packed club where she settled into a plush VIP booth beneath Hyde’s dramatic fireplace. In a different part of the club, actor/comedian Harland Williams partied with friends.

DJ Devin Lucien pumped up the crowd with hits like Flo Rida’s “Good Feeling” and T-Pain’s “Drop It To The Floor” while Hyde’s performance artists and the Fountains of Bellagio provided club goers with unique entertainment.

Later in the night, Frankie Delgado grabbed the mic and asked the crowd to join him in wishing Conrad a “very happy birthday.” The starlet was surprised as Hyde presented her with a four-tiered pink and purple birthday cake adorned with flowers as the entire club joined in singing “Happy Birthday” to her.

Conrad enjoyed talking and dancing with friends until the early morning hours while the iconic fountains swayed in the background.
