Hot Vegas

He may hate our soccer team, but international soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic sure loves the U.S. when it comes to pool parties.

Here's Zlatan livin' it up at the Encore Beach Club in Vegas over the weekend ... chattin' up a bunch of hot chicks while flexin' out in a sleeveless shirt.

Of course, the Swedish-born superstar famously called the Team USA soccer team a "big joke" back in 2014 ... despite the fact his crappy team didn't even qualify for the World Cup that year.

By the way, Pele told TMZ Sports he LIKES the U.S. soccer team -- so, suck on that Zlatan.

Tupac fans had to do a double take on the Vegas Strip as his tragic death was recreated ... and TMZ obtained the first photos from the set of a new biopic.

"All Eyez on Me" stars Demetrius Shipp, Jr. as 'Pac and Dominic L. Santana as Suge Knight. Check out this gallery of them filming the crucial scene ... with Demetrius in the passenger seat of the car moments before the fatal shots.

Local reporters actually rushed to the scene during filming, mistaking the blanks for real gunshots.

It's been almost 20 years since Tupac's death and conspiracy theories that he's alive and in hiding are stronger than ever -- but Shipp ain't buying it.

Elton John paid his respects to Prince in front of a sold-out Caesars Palace crowd Saturday night.

Elton paused his 'Million Dollar Piano' show midway to talk about the singer. During his chat, Elton called Prince a "Purple Warrior" and mentioned how the singer was truly one of a kind.

Elton also shared a story about when he and Prince both had Vegas shows ... he said he'd often see Prince in their hotel lobby getting home from the clubs just as Elton would start his day. The singer then went into "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" with a Prince slideshow in the background.

Iggy Azalea says she tried to warn Nick Young that his boys trip to Vegas last weekend would "look bad" in the wake of the whole cheating scandal ... but he went anyway -- and she's cool with it.

The rapper says her fiance actually had a pretty good reason for the trip -- and it wasn't to party and go crazy ... it was more business than pleasure.

We asked if the fact she went out sans engagement ring over the weekend was a message to the NBA star -- but she shot that down hard ... saying she doesn't think women have to rock the rock 24/7.

"It's nothing personal ... it doesn't go with the outfit."

Long story short ... seems Nick's out of the doghouse and the engagement is still on.

Vince Neil has an uphill battle to clear his name after his Las Vegas battery citation, since cops say security cameras caught him red-handed ... with a fistful of the victim's hair.

Neil claimed he only "pushed past" a female autograph seeker at the Aria last week ... but according to police records, obtained by TMZ, officers reviewed surveillance footage which showed the Motley Crue frontman pulling the woman down to the ground by her hair.

Neil has denied it got that physical. She says she was left stunned, and suffered a sore neck ... as well as pain in her lower back and hip.

Cameras also captured the woman taking pics with Carrot Top before she saw Nic Cage. She claims she said, "Nicolas, I love you" and followed the actor before being pulled down.

As for the scene outside -- cops say Neil was actually trying to fight another individual, while Nic tried to play peacemaker.

Vince Neil is denying dragging an autograph seeker to the ground by her hair, but according to law enforcement -- and surveillance video -- he did enough damage to warrant a citation.

Sources close to the Motley Crue frontman tell us the woman was "very aggressive" in her efforts to get an autograph from Vince and Nicolas Cage, who were having lunch in the Aria Hotel and Casino. We're told Vince admits he was annoyed and "pushed past her" ... but insists he did not grab her by her hair.

TMZ broke the story ... we got video of Vince fighting with Nic outside Aria. We're told Vince was pissed about what went down inside the hotel, because at that point hotel security had held them for an hour -- and police had already ticketed him for battery.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers reviewed the casino's surveillance footage before issuing the citation.

Britney Spears' body is now on even fuller display on the Vegas strip.

Brit debuted some new outfits this weekend at her Planet Hollywood show, and the biggest difference ... there's much less coverage. For instance, no skirt required for what looks like her new schoolgirl outfit.

The mother of 2 has been showing off her body on beaches and social media a lot lately -- so, can't say we didn't see this coming.

MMA star Tito Ortiz will NOT be prosecuted for an alleged battery that happened inside a Vegas nightclub back in February ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Vince Neil and Nic Cage got in a huge physical fight in Las Vegas Thursday, after Vince allegedly attacked a woman in a hotel ... and Vince is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

Law enforcement sources tell us the fight went down at around 5 PM at Aria Hotel on the Vegas strip. We're told Nic and Vince were inside when a woman came up to Nic and asked for an autograph. Our sources say Vince allegedly got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground.

The video we got shows the end of a fight between Vince and Nic. Our sources tell us Nic was trying to restrain Vince and calm him down, taking him outside the hotel and into a car. Nic is screaming at Vince, imploring him to calm down.

Steve Wynn is America's modern day Marie Antoinette ... or at least he sounded like her during a meeting with investors where the multi billionaire blasted poor people.

Wynn -- owner of the Wynn and Encore -- made a presentation this week and said, "Rich people only like being around rich people. Nobody likes being around poor people, especially poor people."

CNBC reports the casino mogul was talking up Wynn Resorts as offering aspirational appeal to everyone.

He added that his company "caters to the top end of the gaming world. We're sort of Chanel or Louis Vuitton."

Some days you're on bottom, some days you're IN it.

Out of total fairness, we sure hope these contortionists switch roles every now and then.

The International Contortion Convention is going down in Las Vegas this week, and as you can see ... it can be a dirty job.

An illusionist who was headlining at the Tropicana is now persona non grata at the Vegas hotel, after being arrested for allegedly perving out on hundreds of images of adults molesting toddlers.

Jan Rouven is behind bars, after being arrested for allegedly viewing and sharing videos of men molesting kids as young as 3 and 4.

Cops found 250 videos and pics on Rouven's computer.

The hotel is trying to distance itself from the illusionist, calling him "an outside contractor."

A group of Wynn Las Vegas casino dealers are pissed they have to split their tips with casino workers who customarily don't get tipped ... and now they've filed suit to get what they feel they deserve.

According to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Nevada, the dealers claim the casino forces them to pool their tips together ... but then share that pool with other casino employees.

The suit claims the Wynn has effectively gotten around paying minimum wage by appropriating the dealers' tips.

The dealers are suing the casino -- as well as Steve Wynn individually -- and are seeking damages, plus interest and attorneys' fees.

Then you can buy Mike Tyson's huge Las Vegas palace ... that looks like a modern boutique hotel.

Chumlee won't be pumping up the jam on the Strip ... he just cancelled his DJ appearance.

The "Pawn Stars" co-star was set to spin at Tru Nightclub Friday evening in Vegas, but since he just got out of jail Thursday ... the club was unclear if he'd show. Chumlee's lawyer tells us he proactively chose to bow out.

As we previously reported ... Chumlee was arrested after Vegas cops say they found drugs and a gun in his home while serving a search warrant for a sexual assault investigation.

Nothing helps to change your mood after a devastating loss like 10 hot chicks at a Vegas bikini party ... just ask Conor McGregor.
