At the risk of becoming the ParisHiltonParisHilton blog, we hear that Paris Hilton has been booted from Wynn Las Vegas.
With an apparent zero tolerance policy for drugs (or needing to distance themselves for stockholders), Hilton has been banned from both Wynn and Encore, following her arrest for cocaine possession over the weekend.

Caesars Palace Las Vegas
Apparently dancing on a casino table game costs $250,000.
Back in October, a high-limit baccarat player at Caesars Palace climbed on his table at least three times (and even danced at one point), and personnel didn't stop him. The game was still in progress.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a complaint against the casino, citing safety and game protection concerns.
The ruling came down this week, and Caesars was fined a quarter of a million dollars.
Less than a year and a half old, and the M Resort is already in flux.
First there’s the bit of bad luck with the casino opening in a bad economy that has still yet to recover despite slow signs early this year. The $1 billion M Resort has $700 million in debt, which is controlled by Lloyds Banking Group.
And last month, Lloyds put their majority stake in the hotel-casino up for sale at an auction.

You'd think a town such as our fine neon city would be the most stressless city in the U.S.
And it very well may be, just as long as you're a tourist.
But for locals, Forbes magazine has listed Las Vegas as being at the top of this year's survey of America's Most Stressful Cities.
Seems running a 24-hour city to make others' vacations is detrimental to stress levels. Not to mention the high 14.5 percent unemployment and bad housing market.
Second on the list: Los Angeles.
