Hundreds of fans lined up outside the casino floor and chanted “Diddy” as he made his way through the crowd to the red carpet. He was then escorted through the packed house, stopping to say hi to a few fans before heading to PURE’s iconic stage. After settling in at his VIP table, he asked the DJ for a mic and welcomed everyone to his second New Year party. From that point on, it became a “Diddy party” where he generously poured shots of his CÎROC vodka to lucky fans on the packed dance floor. While on stage, he was seen dancing and rapping along to his smash hits. Diddy ended the evening wishing everyone a prosperous New Year before calling it a night heading out around close to 4 a.m.

Via Photographer Erik Kabik – “I caught up with TIESTO for a few images backstage before he went onstage tonight for his first show.

The excitement and enthusiasm was running high in his camp just moments before he took to the stage….and he spoke about playing until 4 or 5 AM.

He held to his promise and performed over 3 and 1/2 hours of music and didn’t leave the Joint stage until 5:03 AM. He kept the packed Joint in full swing the entire time….aisles all packed with pulsating bodies dancing the night away into the early AM. TIESTO and the crowd were full of energy right up to very last moments.“

The evening started with dinner at TAO where Kim enjoyed Chilean Sea Bass and many other signature dishes. After dinner, she craved dessert so she indulged into the TAO’s fortune cookie that promised her with a future of happiness, love and success. She enjoyed her cookie and had another bite of dessert from her brother’s plate.

Rob Kardashian, Brittny Gastineau, famed video director Hype Williams and many other friends helped Kim ring in the New Year at TAO Nightclub after dinner. She arrived to TAO with mic in hand as she addressed the screaming crowd, “I did my 30th birthday here a couple months ago. I am happy to be back! Later tonight I have a surprise for you!” She then made a toast to her friends, “to a great and amazing new year ahead, I love you guys!”

The party began and included lots of dancing and laughing with close friends. Kim stated that her resolutions are “to spend more time with family and have more ME time. I also want to step it up in the gym. I have been doing so good in 2010 being dedicated to health and fitness. I want to keep it up. Actually, it’s a life resolution for me.” “Our entire family made a resolution to each other to get out of our comfort zone and push the envelope and be open to all challenges, which my sisters and I have a new announcement coming up.”

As 2010 ended, Kim led TAO into the final countdown from the stage. As midnight struck, balloons and confetti fell in an explosion of energy as the crowd cheered, “Happy New Year!” Kim finished the countdown with “Let’s party Vegas!” Later in the evening she moved to the dance floor as she unveiled her surprise for the guests. The DJ played her new song, which is still untitled. TAO guests were the first to hear the new track. She sang along as the crowd danced to her new song. Hype Williams was on scene to shoot club scenes for Kim’s new music video. Fans screamed and snapped photos of Kim as she partied to her new song.

She ended her night around 2am and headed back to the Piazza Suite at The Venetian for a Girls Only slumber party for all her closest friends. She also expressed, “The Venetian is my favorite place to stay. They take such good care of me and it is like my second home.”

The Golden Girl arrived to the red carpet in a futuristic deco gold one strap asymmetrical dress paired with gold sparkle peep-toe sling back Christian Louboutins. They enjoyed LAVO’s signature Kobe Meatball, calamari rings, tuna tartare, and other Italian dishes. “I love having dinner at LAVO. I love the food,” said Holly. Her party then topped dinner off with the specialty Oreo Zeppole served with a malted vanilla milkshake.

Holly said she will be starting the New Year fresh with many resolutions. “Getting more sleep” is number one on her list. This upcoming year will be a busy one for Holly with projects including a new book called Showgirls Next Door, continuing with PEEPSHOW, and the second season of Holly’s World which will expose all of her personal thoughts on Hugh Hefner‘s engagement. She mentioned, “I have a lot to say about it, but I am saving it all for my show.”

Next stop was LAVO Nightclub where Holly served as Master of Ceremonies to ring in the New Year. She entered hand in hand with boyfriend Jack and they headed straight to the corner booth in front of the DJ. Holly and Angel instantly grabbed New Year’s headpiece and noisemakers that they rocked all night! Holly said, “This year is nice because I already have a new year’s kiss so I don’t have to worry about finding one!”

She ended the night heading back to her spacious Palazzo hotel room where they continued the party until the early morning.

Partygoers reveled in the alternate universe created and controlled by Loczi as they were taken on sensory overload. The amazing graphics exploded on the LED screen in perfect rhythm to Loczi’s beats as the colors and patterns blurred the line between fantasy and reality. The elaborately costumed Studio 54 dancers performed seductive numbers throughout the night, bringing out the sexy side among New Year’s Eve partiers. Loczi started the journey through the past as the rave-like atmosphere felt reminiscent of the original Studio 54 in New York City, including a scantily clad dancer descending to the stage in the famed Studio 54 moon. This imaginative trance ushered in 2011 as clubgoers screamed the countdown and cheered at the stroke of midnight when confetti and balloons dropped from the ceiling. The party continued well after the clock struck twelve when incredible wall-climbers appeared from nowhere and performed amazing acrobatics, causing jaws to drop. As the morning hours grew later, Loczi became a figment of the imagination controlling the dreams and reality of every partier inside the legendary Studio 54.
