CELEBRATING HIS divorce and $1 million settlement, Kevin Federline, the ex-Mr. Britney Spears,was spotted at Caesars Palace Venus Pool last week.

SPEAKING OF pools, the Mandalay Bay just completed its $30 million pool expansion and upgrades.What does that kinda coin buy you? An air-conditioned, glass-walled outdoor casino and villa-like cabanas with a private pool! Bring your plastic - a day in those cabanas can go for $2,000; however for a little less than half of that you can hang at the Moorea Beach Club, which features European bathing.

WHAT HAPPENS in Legoland ... at a cost of more than $1 million, it took 15 designers three years to build the mini-Vegas. There are 10 mini replicas of Las Vegas’s most well-known hotels including the Luxor, TI,Venetian and a 20-foot-tall Stratosphere. The display even has wedding chapels,limos,the folks who pass out fliers (slappers) and scantily clad women (makes you wonder who it’s for). See a video of the entire Lego Vegas at www.KimosVegas.com.
