“Absinthe” at Caesars Palace producer and star The Gazillionaire took over Hyde Bellagio to celebrate a rather remarkable achievement. Talk about notches on his belt and bedpost!
The cast of the erotic and exotic circus, including Melody Sweets and Penny Pibbets, celebrated his outrageous statement. “Let’s celebrate! Last night, I slept with my one millionth girl right here in Vegas!” he screamed, jumping on top of a couch.
To prove the validity of the monstrous exaggeration, he ordered a bowl of spaghetti delivered to his VIP table to show that he needed strength to start on the road to the next million! To commemorate the feat, he was awarded a large gold trophy and carried through the club in Hyde’s brass boat before being presented with a cake adorned with his face and “1,000,000.”
DREAM RACING: The fleet of track-tuned Ferrari 430-GT racing machines that Dream Racing keeps out at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for racing is so powerful, they are not street legal. Now the fantasy-fulfilled company will offer more affordable experiences on the infield track with street-legal Ferraris, Porsche 911 Carreras, a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and a British McLaren MP4. There’s more than 600 horsepower below the hoods -- 0 to 60 in three seconds!
Dream Racing is not a rich and famous barrier. For $199, participants get five laps around the 1.1-mile track behind the wheel of the Porsche, $299 for the Lamborghini, McLaren and Ferrari. A 620 hp Fiorano is $399 for five spins, and the non-street-legal racecar packages is $499. Full details: DreamRacing.com.
