The total count: 40 different celebrities were spotted in Las Vegas over the weekend. It's like someone had a party and didn't invite me!

Actually, that is what happened. Khloe Kardashian celebrated her 25th birthday at Pure Nightclub in Caesars Palace with her sisters Kim and Kourtney on Friday night.

The next day, Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 23rd birthday at Wet Republic. A little early, but what else do you expect from Miss Lohan?

Then Saturday night Transformer 2 star (sadly not Optimus Prime or Megatron) Megan Fox with Brian Austin Green were spotted watching the 7 pm show of Mystère.

Starting Monday, July 13th, tournaments will run everyday at 12 pm and 8 pm, and feature a $200/$25 buy-in Sunday to Friday and $300/$30 on Saturday. All games will still be held in the Wynn Poker room.

This is change from the old structure of tournaments at 2 pm and 7 pm, but buy-ins are going up. Way up actually, they've more than doubled with the new system. So those looking to play at Wynn for cheap may want to get the playing done in the next two weeks.

Casinos everywhere keep proclaiming how they have the lowest limits in blackjack to draw new and returning players. The Sahara here in Las Vegas currently takes the cake by having $1 blackjack tables, but what they're not telling you is the game isn't really blackjack.

Casino on the strip are beginning to offer games paying 6-to-5 for blackjacks instead of the traditional 3-to-2. This means a player who bets $10 will only win $12 instead of $15. If winning less money sounds like fun, go for it but casinos are making new rules to give them even more of an edge against you.
