Hot Vegas

He's one of the biggest Raider fans on the planet -- but if the Silver & Black move straight outta Cali and into Las Vegas, is that a deal breaker for Ice Cube???

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton helped a savvy college student rake in more than a grand on the heels of their heated final debate in Las Vegas.

Alexander Lin, a biology major at UNLV, knew having the debate on campus would mean prime time exposure -- so he whipped up a sign asking people to donate to his GoFundMe account ... and grabbed a spot behind Anderson Cooper.

Alex appeared through most of CNN's post-debate coverage, and although he's no harder up for cash than the average college student -- he was instantly flooded with donations. Check out the video to find out how much he hauled in as of Thursday afternoon.

He's got big plans for the cash -- including a charitable donation, and his personal charity.

Well played, sir. Well played.

Vegas escorts are moaning alright, but for the wrong reason ... they say the 3rd presidential debate has sucked the sexual drive out of Sin City.

Multiple escort agency owners tell us business has been alarmingly slow over the last 2 days.

The owners and escorts say ... the influx of people for the Trump/Clinton showdown is not the usual crowd coming to Vegas for a good time.

As for why business is down ... the owners have several theories. One ... that everyone's depressed about the way the election has gone, and the crowd isn't up for a fun time.

Another owner had this theory ... the election has been filled with "gotcha" moments, and people are afraid of getting busted.

Donald Trump got a taste of his proposed US-Mexico border wall Wednesday morning when food trucks lined up outside his Las Vegas hotel ... but it wasn't just tacos being served.

The trucks built a wall outside Trump International Hotel just off the strip and offered free grub to hundreds of protesters.

There was quite a selection, including several different Asian fusion trucks and even a showing from the French via the French Food Therapy truck.

The Culinary Union Local 226, an LV food union, organized and got permits. For those that weren't hungry, there was another mini wall to sign.

For the most part, it looked peaceful ... Jesse Jackson even made an appearance and let us know his protest grub of choice.

The bookies in Vegas already have their odds set for Wednesday night's 3rd and final presidential debate -- and Donald Trump's the clear favorite ... when it comes to interrupting.

1:02 PM PT -- Ty's agent, Happy Walters, tells us Ty asked for and received permission from the team to miss the flight.

Sacramento Kings star Ty Lawson was partying his face off with teammates at a Vegas club Thursday night before missing a team flight on Friday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Lawson hit up Drai's nightclub along with Ben McLemore and Willie Cauley-Stein and boxer Adrien Broner ... and you can see in the video, they seemed to be having a great time.

Problem is ... Lawson missed the team flight to Kentucky for an exhibition game the next day and Kings' honchos are reportedly demanding an explanation.

For the record, Ben and Willie made the trip and had decent games.

The Kings had said Lawson missed the game due to "personal reasons" -- unclear if the clubbing counts.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, Lawson also missed a team shootaround in Vegas earlier in the week.

More trouble for Adrien Broner -- who was cited for misdemeanor battery at a Vegas nightclub for allegedly choking a waitress ... though the boxer adamantly denies any wrongdoing.

TMZ Sports has learned ... cops were called to Drai's nightclub around 3:30 AM on Sunday when a female server complained that Broner put his hands around her neck and said, "Bitch, I will knock you out."

When cops arrived they spoke with the accuser and a witness who corroborated her story. Plus, we're told the incident was captured on video.

Cops spoke with Broner -- who staunchly proclaimed his innocence -- but ultimately decided there was enough evidence to cite him for misdemeanor battery.

Broner was NOT arrested -- he was simply handed a citation with a notice to appear in court at a later date.

As for the accuser, we're told she did not require medical attention.

This is just the latest in a strong of disturbing incidents involving the boxer ... who was arrested for allegedly beating up a guy at a bowling alley earlier this year. Those charges were later dropped.

Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman knows the score when it comes to battling the Backstreet Boys on the Vegas Strip ... and they're trailing big.

We caught up with the singer at LAX and asked him if there's gonna be a battle now that one of the best-selling boy bands in history landed their own Vegas residency. Remember, the Boyz already have a hit show there ... which runs through 2018.

Verne Troyer is a small man with a huge appetite ... proven in stunning form by devouring a 32 oz steak.

Verne feasted on a Tomahawk Long Bone rib-eye steak bigger than his own head, right down to the bone that's about as long as his whole body.

We're told he chowed down at The D casino hotel in Vegas -- where he got in a good arm workout afterward to burn off the meal.

Shia LaBeouf's surprise Vegas wedding Monday with Mia Goth was no free love affair -- but it only set the actor back a few hundred bones.

Obviously, Shia's got the dough to spend wayyyy more ... but looks like he opted for the $700 Elvis Blue Hawaii package, which includes:

- Elvis officiant (with 3 serenades)
- 1 hula dancer
- 6 rose bouquet for Mia, matching boutonniere for Shia
- 10 candid ceremony prints
- Courtesy round-trip limo service from any hotel on the strip or downtown

Not exactly the royal treatment -- especially for an A-lister -- but if you're in the market, the Viva Las Vegas chapel offers just about everything a la carte. For instance, the hula dancer's $100 ... or the pink caddy WITH fog machine will run ya $175.

Take your savings and invest in real estate -- just a tip.

Shia LaBeouf tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Mia Goth, in a Las Vegas ceremony that was NOT traditional ... TMZ has learned.

The couple got hitched at Viva Las Vegas, a chapel known for themed weddings. Some of the options include Elvis and Alice Cooper packages, or the more generic gangster and gladiator themes.

We've learned they went with the Elvis and Hawaiian themes. Mia even hitched a ride with Elvis in a pink Cadillac to the ceremony, and from the sound of it, planning the wedding was a lot easier than the honeymoon...

They also offer traditional weddings, but no one would expect that from a guy who watches marathon sets of his own films ... for the sake of art.

Shia and Mia started dating in 2012, after meeting on the set of "Nymphomaniac: Volume II." They made headlines for a public fight in Germany in July of 2015. Goth was seen wearing an engagement ring back in March.

Mr. Las Vegas LOVES the idea of the Raiders moving to Sin City -- with Wayne Newton telling TMZ Sports if it actually does happen, he wants to buy a piece of the team!

Of course, there's been A LOT of talk about the Silver and Black heading to Vegas in the near future -- with owner Mark Davis even snatching up the domain LasVegasRaiders.com.

Jeremih took full advantage of performing with Kid Ink onstage when he put the mic down to exchange digits with a female fan.

It all went down at Drai's in Las Vegas while the rappers were performing their hit, "Nasty." People at the show tell us Jeremih had been flirting with the girl throughout the set -- and you gotta check out his smooth move when Ink took over on the mic.

NBA player DeJuan Blair will NOT be charged with battery for allegedly roughing up a woman outside of a Vegas nightclub ... and TMZ Sports has learned the accuser ain't happy about it.

We broke the story ... the former Washington Wizards player was booted out of Drai's nightclub after he allegedly picked up and tossed a woman out of the entry line.

Blair was adamant he did nothing wrong -- and simply moved her out of the way when he was trying to get by.

Security didn't buy it and kicked him off the property -- and cops issued him a misdemeanor battery citation.

But according to Clark County court records, prosecutors decided not to move forward with criminal charges -- and dropped the case against the 27-year-old.

We spoke to the alleged victim who tells us she was unaware the case was dropped -- and has been exploring her legal options, including a civil suit.

Blair was banned from the property on the night of the alleged incident -- no word if he'll now be allowed back.

"Dancing With the Stars" champ Nyle DiMarco is the newest member of the Las Vegas Chippendales squad, but he's already got the veteran dancers learning new moves ... with their hands.

DiMarco's got a 3 and a half week gig with the bare-chested studs, where he'll be the first deaf Chippendales dancer ever. Pretty cool!

Even cooler ... the vet Chippendales dancers are all learning sign language, which will be incorporated into the show.

Nick Diaz ended up in the middle of a huge brawl while partying at Hyde nightclub in Vegas early Wednesday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A rep for the club tells us the UFC fighter went to a bathroom outside the club around 2:30 AM, and accidentally stumbled into another customer ... who started talking smack.
