Celebrity Spotting in Vegas

The hard truth is that celebrities may be all around you but they really don't want to be seen. There are special doors, elevators, and passage ways for them to stay hidden from public view. So how do you get the best chance at seeing them. Here are some secrets:

The airport is the absolute best place to find celebrities. Sure they may be in a hurry and you might be too, but many of them pass through as normal human beings and in the baggage claim area is one of the hot spots as nearly everyone has to end up there to catch their favorite mode of transporation.

Watch for paparazzi. When you see a gaggle of people huddled together with cameras, you can bet there is a high profile celebrity nearby. Go walk near them to see who they are after and get your camera ready.

The second recommendation is to visit those poker rooms you now see everywhere. It seems that everyone wants to get a piece of the Texas Hold'em craze. Celebrities can certainly afford the buy in price as much as everyone else so this is a good spot to see many of them. Lots of them like the Palms for some reason or anywhere you see a sign where filming is done (Bellagio).

Another good choice is one of our absolute favorite places and that is the Forum Shops at Caesars. There are always celebrities including not so well known celebrities and behind the scenes movie personnel such as character actors, lighting, makeup, etc. While some may not be as well known, if you know what they look like, you can probably spot them. Many of them eat at the many restaurants inside the Forum shops area and are particular to those that you can eat outside of the main entrance (in mall tables). Again watch for paparazzi and pick a seat at one of the cafes or restaurants. Keep your eyes open.

We might not get liked much for saying this but Pete Rose is a regular at the Sports Memorabilia store and many other celebrities come there to sign autographs for a price. Don't even try to take a picture of Pete Rose as he is not a very nice man unless you pay for the privilege. While his baseball accomplishments are top notch, his personality skills need some work.

The next hot spot for celebrities is sure to be the many nightclubs. Many nightclubs pay celebrities to appear to beef up attendance. The hottest nightclubs draw in the celebrities. Ask any concierge which nightclubs are the hottest at the time, you should get an honest answer and note that they change all the time.

We almost forgot about any new casino opening. Any opening event will draw celebrities by the drove. Some are paid to appear, others just want to be one of the first to attend just like everyone else. Watch for premier events, and grand openings.
