The only 'celebrity' I've seen in Las Vegas (I'm not from LV but go a lot) was Coach Tarkanian outside of the Rio. I said hello coach to him and he greeted me back. This was 1993 or so.

I have never seen any that I know of. But, my daughter FREAKED when she recognized the girls from Pretty Little Liars, in the Louis Vuitton store. She asked them for pics and they said yes as long as they could wear their sunglasses. So, they all did (including my daughter and her friend). You can bet those pics were up on Facebook before I could even ask who they were.

As a visitor to Las Vegas I have played cards with David Grohl of Foo Fighters at the Monte Carlo, seen Sharon Stone walking by the pool at the Rio and of course several celebrities at the WSOP including Bob Stupek and Brad Garrett

Honestly... i wouldnt even recognize the president if he would be dancing around in front of me, in the nude and wearing an ovenmit as a headwarmer..

The only person I met where some PBR cowboys, Carrot top (at the gym lol) and some porn stars from the 80ies


Oh, Bruce Willis at the pool once. I turned around and told my gf really loudly that that dude kinda looks like bruce willis but the real one was hotter in pictures. The person stared at me for a second. Turns out later that day someone working in that hotel told me he was indeed at the pool...

When I was working in the old unemployment office downtown, claims were taken in person, tons of forms had to be filled out, and a claims examiner had to go over all of them with the person filing. I would recognize lots of celebrities waiting for someone to take their claims even though they were not easy to recognize in casual dress, no make up, etc. Since I knew how to talk their language, and was the only one that recognized them, I'd take their claims before it caused any embarrassment to anyone. I can't mention names, but they would come in when they were between shows, or in one case, when their Broadway play was on hiatus, and many of them would look for me to help them. A few were kind of sad because their celebrity had faded and they were not working much, or they just had regular jobs. In one case, a famous star, who died shortly after I met him, was in poverty with no income at all. But usually they were fun to talk to.

That's what this woman tried to convince us (back in 1995)...but we knew otherwise.
