WELCOME to Kimo’s Vegas ... The Player’s Edge!
Britney Spears may be making big bucks
with a gig at the Palms
THE TABLOIDS are reporting that Britney Spears was offered a 20-week, $15 million gig to perform at the Palms. That should help her child custody case - the closest her ex has ever been to that kind of cash was on his wedding day.
SHE PLAYS like Bill Gates ... after her sold-out show at the MGM Grand Arena where tickets sold for up to $1,000 each (before scalpers), Barbra Streisand was seen playing blackjack for several hours. Her average bet was just three red chips ($15) - when you’re rich and famous, they’ll let you play for any stakes in the high-roller salon. By the way, no truth to the rumor that her dog was helping her count cards.
High-roller Alex Rodriguez
MEANWHILE, at the Bellagio in the Club Privé high roller lounge, the $29 million man, Yankee Alex Rodriguez, played for considerably higher stakes.
CHECK OUT the new version of craps at the Luxor; it’s called “Die Rich.” The name is a play on words because unlike the traditional game, this version uses only one die! For the complete rules and game odds, visit www.KimosVegas.com.
A BENTLEY, a horse, a wedding and a soap opera audition are a few of the things that American Express has acquired for holders of its ultra-exclusive CenturionTM card. The annual fee is $2,500, and you get automatic airline upgrades and help for any of life’s little dilemmas - like getting sand from the Dead Sea for your kid’s school project, or tickets to the sold-out Barbra Streisand concert. The black status card is by invitation only.
NOW THE KING of all plastic, the Platinum and Centurion Amex cards have a new rewards program where you can use your points to buy things like a Steinway grand piano (7 million points) or the most expensive reward, a Chopard 18K white gold and diamond watch (93.2 million points) ... think I’m 100 million points short for that one.
KIMO’S VEGAS TIP: Bring a new, unwrapped toy and get into Tryst the nightclub in the Wynn Las Vegas free. The toy drive is a benefit for the After School All-Stars, a program for at-risk kids, and it’s happening every Thursday in December through Dec. 21. Get more Vegas tips at www.KimosVegas.com.
