Mandy Moore played host, looking stunning in a print Diane Von Furstenberg dress, Vanessa Bruno shoes and toting a Jimmy Choo clutch. Moore relaxed in a cabana and even Twittered “Vegas. Tao Beach. Wow!!! Beautiful day, yummy food, amazing people watching…”
Also enjoying the day was
Owen Wilson, in town with his brother Andrew and a few friends, shading himself from the Vegas sun by wearing a long sleeve shirt and a baseball hat. Before hitting TAO Beach, Wilson grabbed lunch at Dos Caminos inside The Palazzo, munching on the famed guacamole and other favorites, the generous actor left a $100 poker chip as a tip.
Angie Harmon, showing off a svelte post-baby figure, decided to spend the day with a girlfriend at TAO Beach while hubby
Jason Sehorn golfed. Harmon surprised her husband with a Vegas trip to celebrate his 38th birthday, which was this past Wednesday.
Harmon was just one of the celebs that gossip blogger
Perez Hilton met while he was at TAO Beach. Perez walked the carpet wearing a Papa Smurf t-shirt paired with silver and white shoes that caught the eye of the photographers.
Krysten Ritter arrived with music video director boyfriend
Scott Culver. The affectionate couple lounged on a daybed inside a cabana near Dancing With the Stars pro
Karina Smirnoff, whose Lily & Allen gauzy dress was ideal for the spring day.
Across the pool the party heated up inside a cabana where
Lil Jon,
Reggie Bush,
Brody Jenner, and his girlfriend Playmate
Jayde Nicole had gathered along with poker pros
Phil Hellmuth and
Antonio Esfandiari. NFL pro Bush took photos with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s step-brother Jenner, but out of respect for Kim who was not in Vegas, wouldn’t take pictures with any other women.
After spending the day at TAO Beach,
Angie Harmon rejoined her husband
Jason Sehorn for an Italian birthday dinner at LAVO. Joined by another couple, after dinner they headed up to the nightclub for Grey Goose cocktails and dancing to the sounds of DJ Skratchy.
Just two tables away in the nightclub were rapper
Too Short and reality star
Brody Jenner. Patron was the libation of choice there, with margaritas topped off by chilled Patron shots.
Over at TAO both
The Veronicas and
Nadine Velazquez came to dine right after wrapping up Miss USA rehearsals for the day. The Veronica’s enjoyed sushi under the watchful eye of TAO’s Buddha, while at a table nearby Velazquez and friends ate Dragon Rolls and sipped merlot. Also dining at TAO, Dancing with the Star’s
Karina Smirnoff with three friends.
After dinner, The Veronica’s and Smirnoff stayed at TAO, for the nightclub there, while Nadine Velazquez and friends decided to return to LAVO’s nightclub for a second night in a row.
