Hot Vegas

Lil Wayne can call Las Vegas his 2nd home this summer ... 'cause the legendary rap star has been nabbed for not one but TWO residencies this year!!!

Weezy will perform his first show on June 29 -- as he's scheduled to rock the house at Drai’s Nightclub -- followed by a performance at Zouk Las Vegas on July 12. While that might sound like a short "residency" for Vegas ... we've been assured there are more to come.

BTW ... this is Wayne's first dual residency -- Dustin Drai, President of Drai’s Management Group, says he's the most dynamic artist he can think of to pull it off and is eager to continue their longstanding relationship thriving.

Britney Spears has spent time reuniting with her nearest and dearest in recent years, and now you can add her ex-fiancé, and former co-conservator, Jason Trawick to that list ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Britney got together with Jason during her trip to Las Vegas last week with her brother Bryan. We're told she and her bro are still tight with Jason, and they reached out to him to say they were going to be in town and would love to catch up.

Our sources also tell us Jason now lives in Vegas so the meet-up totally made sense -- and they wound up hanging out together, on at least one occasion, at Resorts World Las Vegas.

"The Ultimate Fighter" coaches Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko will fight at the culmination of the hit show -- and the flyweight champ has a venue in mind -- The Sphere!

TMZ Sports talked to 30-year-old Grasso -- who will debut as coach opposite rival Shevchenko on TUF 32 on Tuesday night -- where we asked the 125-pound title holder about the show and eventual trilogy fight with Valentina.

It's no secret the two female stars are fighting ... but the question is when and where.

Adele may have prematurely gone off on a fan at her Las Vegas show for perceived homophobic remarks ... at least that's what people are saying in light of this new footage.

ICYMI ... the singer popped off in a profanity-laced rant after one attendee at her Vegas residency seemingly shouted, "Pride sucks." Adele was quick to defend the LGTBQ+ month of celebration ... telling the concertgoer to stay silent if they had nothing nice to say.

However, new footage from the concert shows the attendee actually may have said something far less antagonistic. Check it out ... Adele is chatting with the crowd about her unconventional work week when someone seems to shout out ... "Work sucks."

UFOs are seemingly all around us these days ... and the latest sighting of one of these unidentified saucers occurred in Nevada on Friday.

Here's what happened ... a woman named Katrina and her buddies were hanging out in the city of Henderson around 10 PM when they suddenly saw a bright round light shimmering high up in the sky.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... the glistening object started flying in a diagonal pattern before moving up and down. At some point, you can see a plane streaking by, but it never gets too close to the alleged UFO.

NBA legend Bill Walton -- arguably the biggest Grateful Dead fan on the planet -- received a huge tribute at the Dead & Company Sphere show Thursday night ... three days after he tragically passed away.

The band -- which consists of John Mayer and Bob Weir, plus other former Grateful Dead members -- projected images of Walton behind them throughout their hourslong concert at the must-see attraction in Las Vegas.

Some of the pics displayed on the building's massive screens included Walton with Weir and Mickey Hart. They also featured the former Celtics center's No. 32 jersey number, rose petals ... and a whole bunch of tie-dye colors.

Britney Spears' family is back on her radar -- but it's somewhat limited ... 'cause she just posted a video of a fun-filled Vegas spa session with her brother Bryan.

The singer dropped the IG clip Tuesday -- and as you can hear, she's like a kid in a candy store while making her way to the spa with her older bro ... chirping, "Hey brother, We're in Vegas, and we're going to the spa and we're lost!"

Britney's so pumped that she declares the spa as a "Disneyland for adults" -- before quickly adding the trippy interiors, complete with "spaceship" style ceiling lights, actually made it better than the theme park. It's a little bizarre ... but Bryan and Britney are clearly having fun.

Vince Vaughn's flexing his vocal chops, hitting the stage in Sin City for some good ol' country jamming.

An eyewitness tells TMZ ... the movie star was spotted at the Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails Wednesday inside The Cosmopolitan, where he joined the resident Tomlinson Brown Band for some sing-along fun.

As you can see ... Vince lets the band do most of the heavy lifting while he joined them to perform Hank Williams Jr.'s "Family Tradition," and Alan Jackson's "Chattahoochee."

Nas is honoring his debut album "Illmatic" -- still hailed as one of the greatest rap albums ever -- by bringing his Queensbridge poetry to the bright lights of Las Vegas and adding a symphony!

The album turned 30 last month ... so, over Labor Day weekend, Nas and the Las Vegas Philharmonic will tackle a 3-day concert series inside Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.

Nas promised to live up to the hype as he announced the shows, declaring ... “Las Vegas has always served as a creative outlet for my music, and these performances will take that to the next level.”

Benny Blanco was in Vegas this week, betting a few bucks ... and apparently not taking the couple-y pics Selena Gomez posted online ... this amid the Biebers' pregnancy news.

New photos and video, obtained by TMZ, show Benny sipping on a drink and making a few bets at the Wynn Thursday -- right around the time Justin and Hailey Bieber announced they were expecting their first child together.

The reason that's relevant ... well, Selena posted some snaps of the two of them around that exact same time as well -- kinda making it seem she was with Benny during the bombshell.

12:03 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell us Jesse Bongiovi and Jesse Light did, in fact, get married. No word on whether Papa Bear was in attendance or not though.

Jon Bon Jovi's son looks to be a married man -- and while it isn't the one you're thinking about, it is his brother, who was also engaged ... and who just pulled the trigger.

According to public records, Jesse Bongiovi obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas Tuesday -- and all signs point to him and his fiancée Jesse Light being man and wife right now ... especially since the missus has been advertising a wedding in recent weeks.

A marriage license in Nevada is good for a year ... but on its face, it looks like Jesse and Jesse got hitched Tuesday -- although, we don't exactly know where they exchanged vows.

Snoop Dogg and T-Pain are doing their part to keep the peace on the Vegas Strip by giving throngs of pissed-off fans something to cheer about after the "Lovers & Friends" festival was canceled last minute.

The duo put on an impromptu show Saturday afternoon at the Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World ... where everyone was bummed the hell out earlier in the day.

T-Pain's dance moves -- including some serious crip walking -- and Snoop MC'ing lightened spirits and got some folks to loosen up after severe disappointment.

Snoop Dogg y T-Pain están poniendo de su parte para mantener la paz en el Strip de Las Vegas, dándole a las multitudes de fans cabreados algo por lo que alegrarse después de que el festival "Lovers & Friends" fuera cancelado a último minuto.

El dúo hizo un show improvisado el sábado por la tarde en el Ayu Dayclub en Resorts World, donde todo el mundo estaba deprimido en un comienzo.

Los movimientos de baile de T-Pain y el carisma de Snoop aligeraron los espíritus y alegraron un poco las cosas luego de la decepción.

Usher le dijo a todo el mundo que el espectáculo debía continuar, ya que realizó un espectáculo en Las Vegas en medio de la cancelación a último momento del festival Lovers & Friends, subiéndole el ánimo a todos los fans.

Este video obtenido por TMZ muestra a la estrella del pop en el escenario del Jewel Nightclub Aria Hotel and Casino el viernes por la noche, cantando algunas canciones con el público tras la noticia de la cancelación del festival.

Echa un vistazo al clip, Usher apareció vestido de blanco, con un vaso de bebida en la mano e inmediatamente hizo participar a la multitud, haciéndolos cantar las notas de apertura de una pista y animándolos a lo largo del concierto.

Usher said the show must go on ... pulling up to perform a show in Vegas despite the Lovers & Friends festival's last-minute cancelation -- and raising fans' spirits.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the popstar taking the stage at Jewel Nightclub Aria Hotel and Casino Friday night ... and, belting out some tunes with the audience after news of the festival's cancelation came in.

Check out the clip ... Usher arrives in an all-white get-up, drink glass in hand -- and, he immediately gets the crowd involved, making them sing the opening notes to a track and hyping up the whole joint.

Even Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne's combined star power isn't enough to outshine Mother Nature -- who just forced Lovers & Friends Festival organizers to pull the plug ... at the last minute!

The shocking announcement came late Friday night, less than 24 hours before the all-day, outdoor festival was supposed to begin at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Event organizers said they were expecting a windy day and prepared for it, but then the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning.

With the expectation of 30-35 mph sustained winds and wind gusts over 60 mph ... they decided to cancel the highly-anticipated concert, calling it the "safest decision for our fans, artists and staff."
