Paris Hilton spent an idyllic week in Hawaii surfing and sunning with her new 21-year-old male-model boyfriend River Viiperi before flying to Las Vegas to continue her “honeymoon-styled” holiday. But it ended this morning in an alleged brawl at XS in Steve Wynn’s Encore when Las Vegas police were reportedly called to break up a fight.
TMZ reported that a male clubgoer filed a complaint with Metro after he got into an argument with River over Paris and his own girlfriend flirting with each other. Steve’s hotel security also was reportedly called when the alleged victim said he’d been badly injured in the face from punches and required medical attention. Metro is said to have issued a citation to Paris’ beau for misdemeanor battery, but he was not taken into custody.
When Vegas DeLuxe checked with press representatives of XS, we were told, “No comment. If there is more to say later, we will advise you.” Las Vegas Metro Police Officer Laura Meltzer confirmed that River was ticketed. River, at 21, is 10 years younger than Paris.
Paris, who was formerly banned from all of Steve’s hotels after being arrested for cocaine possession with ex-boyfriend Cy Waits, is adamant that she wasn’t kissing another girl and that River simply stepped in to protect her from a couple who were harassing her.
An insider told Radar Online: “Paris is steadfast that she never made out with another girl at the nightclub in Las Vegas. Paris is very upset that River got arrested because it was his first trip to Las Vegas.
“According to Paris, another couple had been harassing them at XS, and the guy was getting too close to the hotel heiress. River just shoved him away from his girlfriend. River didn’t hit the dude; he was just protecting Paris and trying to give them a little space.”
Up until then, Paris, friend and showman Jeff Beacher, who joined the party as it stopped en route in L.A., and the entourage were enjoying a trouble-free visit. They checked into the private, luxury, high-roller villas at MGM Grand.
After playing in the gaming area, the group began a three-day whirl of Las Vegas nightlife and entertainment. They dined at chef Akira Back’s Yellowtail in the Bellagio, watched “The Beatles Love” by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage, toured Eli Roth’s Goretorium and danced up a storm to DJ Dirty South at Marquee Nightclub in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Eli gave the group a private tour of his new, year-round horror attraction that opened Thursday, and Paris declared afterward, “This is the scariest haunted house on Earth.”
On Sunday night before the incident at XS, the group was nearly front row for the Justin Bieber concert at MGM Grand Garden Arena. The weekend group also included Paris’ brother Barron Hilton, actress-model Vanessa DuBasso, artist Cari Sladek and Chad Hagerman.
The presence of Jeff as a guest of MGM President Scott Sibella at the private villas raised more speculation that he’s close to a deal for his “Comedy Madhouse,” as we reported Sept. 16, to take over the Crazy Horse Paris theater that closes tonight.

Encore is nearly a mirror image of the Wynn Las Vegas, from the brown glass exterior to the style and placement of the logo — and it's just as luxurious as the original. Some call Encore the younger, hipper sister of Wynn.
Located steps from Wynn Las Vegas, yet under the same roof, Encore's fanciful and intimate atmosphere is unlike anything anywhere, with an environment that is uniquely Wynn and distinctly Encore.
Steve Wynn spared no detail in his newest property when designing Encore. The casino floor is decorated in rich reds, browns and purples with mosaic butterflies embedded into the marble floors and fresh flowers greeting guests in the casino atrium.
Luxury doesn't end of the casino floor. Encore boasts 2,034 impeccable guest rooms and suites. The standard suites resort accommodations are 700 square feet with the larger suites measuring in at 5,800 square feet. Standard suites guest rooms feature plasma screen TVs, high-end bath products, spectacular views of the Strip, and also plush linens and mattresses, which can be purchased in the Encore store, in case you can't get enough.
Dining options include Chef Theo Schoenegger's fine Italian cuisine at Chef Theo Schoenegger's, Sinatra's and the pan-Asian café creations of Chef Jet Tila at Wazuzu.
Guests can also dine on steaks and chops at star Botero Steak. At Switch, Encore's French restaurant, the walls come to life mid-meal and your surroundings appear to change before your eyes. For decadent, hip Asian dining before or after a night at one of resort’s ultra-chic nightclubs, visit Andrea’s, the newest dining experience at Encore.
XS headlines Encore's nightlife and pool party scene while Danny Gans takes care of humor and entertainment. Encore also features two of the most celebrated nightlife experiences in Vegas, XS Nightclub and Surrender. Both feature main room dance floors that flow outside to pools, patio spaces and gaming areas.
When the temperature rises, don’t miss Encore Beach Club, the premier daylife destination that features three tiered pools and luxurious cabanas and bungalows with private infinity pools.
Encore Esplanade features 11 high-end retail stores, with brands like Hermes, Chanel, Loro Piana and Rock, and Republic Piaget luxury watches. The resort also has a Forbes Five-Star spa, a salon and an 18-hole, on-site golf course, which is adjacent to the Wynn.

If they were being harrassed they should have called over security. This moron boyfriend of hers cannot instigate physical shoving because someone is getting too close. It's a club, people are dancing, etc. The moment you lay your hands on someone is the moment you get arrested or a return punch in the mouth.
