Hot Vegas

Elton John was totally down for fighting on a Wednesday night when a fan whacked him in the mouth with some beads ... temporarily silencing the legend.

Sir Elton was right in the middle of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" during his Caesars Palace concert when what looks like leftover Mardi Gras beads came flying over his piano.

Check out the vid ... the singer was pissed and a little stunned as he checked his teeth for damage. Even though the band kept rocking, Elton needed a good 35 seconds to compose himself.

We're told he'd just invited the first row to come on stage, and one of those fans was the bead-tosser.

Steve Wynn is out as CEO of the company he founded, announcing he's stepping down amid allegations of sexual misconduct against him ... TMZ has learned.

The casino magnate resigned Tuesday as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Wynn says ... "In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself the focus of an avalanche of negative publicity. As I have reflected upon the environment this has created -- one in which a rush to judgment takes precedence over everything else, including the facts -- I have reached the conclusion I cannot continue to be effective in my current roles."

The board has appointed current President, Matt Maddox, as its new CEO, and Boone Wayson as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Haley Joel Osment's Super Sunday is officially a very messy Monday after he got so pissed about missing a flight out of Las Vegas ... cops had to be called.

Haley was trying to get out of Sin City Sunday night, but missed his American Airlines flight ... so they put him on standby Monday morning. Emphasis on standby.

According to American ... Haley showed up Monday at 7 AM, but the flight was full, and he started going off -- yelling and swearing in the gate agent's face. Police were called, but we're told Haley left the gate area before the officers arrived.

Then came the sequel -- we're told Haley went back to the gate around 8 AM, and was even more aggressive. A witness says Haley yelled at the gate agent, "I'll destroy you!" Cops responded again, but again ... he'd fled the gate.

Little context, if you haven't been -- Vegas is nuts for the Super Bowl, and flights out are ALWAYS fully booked. Point is ... missing your flight is pretty much a guarantee you ain't getting home anytime soon.

No one can physically be two places at once, but Travis Scott is going to come pretty damn close Saturday before the Super Bowl.

The rapper has 2 gigs scheduled for the same night ... and they're about 1,500 miles apart. First, Travis has a show around 10:30 in Minneapolis, which is then followed by a show at 1:30 AM in Vegas Marquee Nightclub in The Cosmopolitan ... plenty of time for both.

Sources close to the rapper tell us, in order to lock Travis down, promoter Jefferson Agar of Twin Cities Live had to make sure he could attend both gigs. We're told they shelled out around $50k for a private jet that'll take Travis from L.A. to Minneapolis and then to Las Vegas ... all in the span of a few hours.

Tix are still available for Scott's Super Bowl gig ... so if you've ever wanted to see a time traveler -- or the next best thing -- you've still got a chance.

Fans of the adult entertainment biz got an eyeful of hundreds of today's hottest stars up close and personal ... and the fun's still going on at the naughty convention.

Porn actresses packed the 2018 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas Friday to meet and greet their adoring fans, snap pics and sign autographs. The industry convention kicked off Wednesday and ends today.

Stars like Bailey Brooke, Joanna Angel, Gina Valentina, Honey Gold, Nikki Benz and many more repped their porn brands and websites ... Brazzers, Reality Kings, Digital Playground and Vixen among them.

Stormy Daniels has become the embodiment of good ol' fashioned capitalism ... appearing Friday night at a Vegas strip club and reveling in her newly-found fame.

Stormy, who reportedly scored $130k in hush money to keep quiet over an alleged tryst she had with Donald Trump in 2006, wowed the crowd at Little Darlings Strip Club. She briefly flashed patrons, but basically showed up on stage as a newly-minted national celeb.

She's in town for the 'AVN Awards Show' which goes down tonight. We're guessing she'll be the star of the evening.

Flavor Flav's beatdown in the middle of a Las Vegas casino was captured on camera ... and TMZ has the first video of the rap legend taking punch after punch.

The footage starts after the initial punches ... Flav is on the floor and trying like hell to cover up as his attacker unloads on him Tuesday at the South Point Casino.

As we reported, Flav says the guy accused him of dissing his mother ... and suddenly started throwing haymakers. Ironically, the Public Enemy rapper was wearing a Muhammad Ali, Rumble in the Jungle jacket during the fight.

BTW, Bradley Cooper was wearing the exact same jacket on Tuesday, 300 miles away on an L.A. beach. Mind. Blown.

The Vegas video also shows the attacker, Ugandi Howard, getting taken into custody, and seemingly putting up a fight with security guards too.

The only good news for 58-year-old Flav -- no clock damage. He wasn't wearing one of his famous timepieces.

The U.S. government isn't the only thing getting shut down ... Stormy Daniels just got the plug pulled on one of her upcoming club gigs.

Stormy had an appearance lined up at Chateau Nightclub in Las Vegas this Friday, but the club canceled it Tuesday morning.

The gig coincided with the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in town over the weekend, which would seem like clever marketing for both Stormy and the club, but sources close to Stormy tell us the club didn't want the same media attention as the South Carolina strip club Stormy performed in over the weekend.

As we previously reported, Stormy's got gigs lined up through June after her alleged fling with the Prez made her a hot commodity, but it appears most are still going on as planned.

In other good news, Stormy's Instagram account is back up and running.

What commits crimes in Vegas, stays in Vegas ... at least, when it comes to O.J. Simpson.

The Juice has officially scratched pre-prison release plans to move to Florida because he's fallen in love with Sin City, and the fact that he gets to play golf while the rest of the country freezes.

"Mr. Simpson has no immediate plans to return to Florida," Simpson's attorney Malcolm LaVergne told the AP.

"He's very much enjoying his time here in Vegas. It's January, he gets to play golf every day."

Simpson had told state parole officials he planned to move to Florida after serving his time for armed robbery in Nevada ... but it's a different ballgame now. He gets treated like a star in Vegas, not a murderer.

Tiffany Trump helped out a friend who wanted to get married in Vegas -- sans the romance -- so she picked up a basket baggie and started tossing petals.

In a video that's since been deleted, President Trump's second youngest kid was seen as one of the few people in attendance at A Little White Wedding Chapel Sunday for her pal Quentin Esme Brown's "shotgun" marriage to "NYC Prep" star PC Peterson. -- who, apparently, aren't romantically involved.

It's interesting that Tiffany didn't fill in as a bridesmaid -- guess the Trump name doesn't carry as much weight in Sin City as it does in D.C. right now.

Usain Bolt definitely knows how to get a party going ... so it's only fitting Steve Aoki enlisted the fastest man alive to get the crowd LIT at his Vegas show Wednesday night!!

Aoki brought the Jamaican track superstar behind his booth to showcase his killer moves ... and you can tell Bolt's dancing hasn't lost a step in retirement.

FYI -- Bolt's dabbled in the DJ industry in the past, and has expressed interest in pursuing a career on the 1s and 2s ... so it's very possible he was getting some solid pointers from Aoki as well.

Celine Dion had to cancel her Vegas concert Saturday because, like many Americans right now, she's sick at home battling a nasty virus.

We're told the virus was serious enough to warrant a visit from the doctor. She was unable to sing clearly Saturday and was faced with no alternative, so she pulled the plug on the show and has been resting and on medication ever since.

Celine's generally known for toughing it through performances. She doesn't like canceling because so many people fly from out of town to see her perform.

There was a rumor Celine got hurt Friday night when a drunk fan got onstage and hugged her, but we're told that's not true.

Paris Hilton and the Palms Casino in Vegas have a very special relationship ... so it's fitting they're both looking forward to a big 2018.

The Palms put up a congratulatory shout-out to Paris on their marquee this week in honor of her recent engagement to Chris Zylka ... and also plans to gift her a piece of its iconic sign when it gets replaced later this year, as part of a $485 mil property renovation.

So, why all the love? Well, Hilton's been with the hotel and casino since day 1 -- she opened it in 2001 while wearing a million-dollar dress made of casino chips.

We're told because Paris is part of Palms' history ... Palms wanted part of its history to be with her. Oh, and it says if she needs a place to celebrate her bachelorette party ... "our door is always open for you."

Britney Spears is taking a load off in Hawaii after ending her residency in Las Vegas -- and we are so thankful for the break ... and the view.

Brit was spotted rockin' a yellow bikini on a Hawaiian beach Wednesday -- just a few days after she performed her last residency show in Vegas for New Year's Eve.

She went out with a bang then, and it looks like she's still banging now. Britney's toned figure was on full display ... and, Lordy, does she look good.

Authorities responsible for the Rose Parade have the Vegas massacre on their minds -- in fact, front and center -- TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources say the Parade is now a national matter ... authorities from the Pasadena as well as surrounding police departments will be all over the parade route, along with state police and federal agents.

We're told so far there are no credible threats that could put parade-goers in harm's way, but these are different times. There was no real warning with the Vegas shooter and authorities are keenly aware these attacks increasingly materialize without any warning.

And more signs of the times ... there will be barricades preventing terrorists from entering the route and going on a rampage. The area will be shut down 24 hours in advance so it can be fully secured.

There will be a full compliment of cops and equipment ... magnetometers, undercover officers, cops on horseback. The presence of law enforcement will be massive.

Cops want to stress what you've been hearing ... if you see something, say something.

The guy who bum-rushed Britney Spears on her Las Vegas stage now has 2 charges hanging over his head, and he's one step closer to a trial ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, Jesse Webb's trial is scheduled to begin January 18. He's been charged with one count of battery and one count of disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.

As we reported, Webb was arrested in August after he jumped on stage, and briefly walked around before Brit's security guards and dancers took him down. Cops say Webb kicked one of the guards during the incident ... which would be the battery charge.

Webb's set to go to trial, but the reality is he's charged with misdemeanors, and the whole thing's on video -- so, all signs point to a plea deal.
