A grip of famous faces descended on two of the hottest celebrity dining spots in all of sin city, at two separate properties owned by the KING of Las Vegas, Derek Stevens.
First, Kristy Swanson (most commonly known from her 1992 film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and her good friend/actor, Joe Pantoliano (known from Bad Boys, The Matrix, The Sopranos, etc.) were spotted dining at the renowned Italian steakhouse, Andiamo – located inside the D Casino Hotel. We're told Andiamo is one of Kristy’s most frequented Vegas restaurants, and this time, she was eager to bring a fellow movie star and a close pal to experience all the hype!
If you made your way down Fremont Street to the brand new Circa Resort & Casino, you would have bumped into an Oscar-winning rapper and the founding member of Three 6 Mafia, DJ Paul, who was spotted dining at the iconic Barry’s Downtown Prime. The rap royalty devoured his top-notch three-course meal and savored every bite. However, the highlight was most definitely dessert. DJ Paul indulged in a delectable serving of banana cream pie. He was so excited to dig in… he waited to take a photo until after his first bite!
After dinner, the star met up with restaurant owner, Chef Barry D. Dakake, and thanked him for the incomparable dining experience. Barry was more than happy to give DJ Paul a personal tour of the eatery, all the way back to the place where all the magic happens – the kitchen. There, the chef showed the musician the ins and outs of how they prepare their signature steaks on the open fire grill. Yes, please!
Between Las Vegas’ two wildly popular sports teams – the Vegas Golden Knights (with Barry’s Downtown Prime recently becoming the official steakhouse for the VGK), and the Las Vegas Raiders, it’s evident that some of the biggest names of the games can be found spending their downtime at Circa.
Our sources say Raiders’ wide receiver, Henry Ruggs, has visited their acclaimed steakhouse with his family on several occasions. Defensive end, Maxx Crosby, can be seen doing the same, along with hanging out with casino owner, Derek Stevens, at the world’s largest sportsbook, Circa Sports. Now, that seems like an ideal place to catch the Las Vegas Raiders in action!
The Circa celebrity sightings didn't end there, award-winning adult film star -- Kendra Lust -- was seen indulging at Barry’s Downtown Prime with her loved ones as well. Chef Barry S. Dakake was sure to take them all on his personal tour of the kitchen, and even provided them with a few more delicious desserts to-go! The beauty spent the evening in style like the VIP she is, in a gorgeous Circa-branded stretch limo. As always, Kendra documented the night on Instagram, and her 7,000,000 followers loved it!
From movie stars, to football icons, and everything in between, downtown Las Vegas attracts famous faces of all kinds – specifically, Circa Resort & Casino and the D Casino Hotel.
