Kardashians, A-list celebrities roll into Las Vegas

The Kardashians are coming to town, Justin Timberlake is already here, and a handful of other A-listers (Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Bob Dylan) are headed this way, too – let’s take a look at who will be where this weekend.

Kim Kardashian celebrated her birthday at Tao Thursday night and most of E!’s favorite reality show family is expected to attend.

Matriarch Kris Jenner and siblings Robert, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian will all be there, along with the father of the most senior sister’s baby, Scott Disick.

(He and Kourtney Kardashian are expecting their first child in December – though no engagement has been announced, never mind a wedding date.)

While Khloe Kardashian isn’t pregnant, she is recently married – and she put in a second appearance Friday at GNC at Fashion Show Mall from 1 until 3 p.m.

Her husband, Lamar Odom, isn’t on the list of confirmed guests for his new sister-in-law’s party at Tao tonight but he and his best man/club co-host/fellow L.A. Laker, Kobe Bryant, were both in town Wednesday night for a pre-season NBA game.

Also tonight, the Palms’ newest resident DJ, Zach Sciacca, will premiere “Z-Trip’s Revolution: A party for the people” at Rain.

Meanwhile, Moby was at House of Blues and Jay Leno returned to the Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage.

Rounding out Friday evening’s line-up is Jermaine Dupri, who has apparently been given the title of “resident” at Privé, after months of weekly “guest” performances. (Dupri might have missed a week here or there, but let’s face it: Rain’s resident DJ, Paul Oakenfold, was slated to play just 26 shows from July through the end of next year when the Palms announced that his residency had been extended.)

The fun will continue Saturday as Justin Timberlake celebrates his week-long charity golf pro-am with a concert benefitting Shriners Hospitals for Children at Mandalay Bay. The victim of Kanye West’s notorious VMA outburst, Taylor Swift will joins JT onstage, as will Alicia Keys, Ciara, Timbaland, Snoop Dogg, Jay Sean and TLC.

Snoop Dogg will head to Planet Hollywood after things wind down at Mandalay Bay to serve as guest DJ at Privé along with lesser known, not-so-notorious DJ, DJ Konflikt.

Meanwhile, Flosstradamus will be at LAX as Sean Kingston will spin at the club’s sister spot at Caesars Palace, Pure.

On Sunday, Timberlake will return to TCP Summerlin for the afternoon’s trophy presentation at his namesake golf tournament, the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Later that night, Bob Dylan will take to the stage at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, and Miss November 2009, Playboy Playmate Kelley Thompson will host GoodLife Sundays at Playboy Club.
