Hugh Hefner is about to turn 83 years old and he’s gearing up for a day of birthday parties that would make men half his age jealous.
The resilient Playboy mogul will celebrate in advance of his big day with a pair of parties at the Palms this Saturday. His actual birthday falls a week from now, on April 9.
The day-long celebrations will feature girlfriends past and present.
The birthday boy’s day will start at 2 p.m. with a pool party at Palms Place. His trio of current lady friends, Crystal Harris, 22, and 19-year-old twin sisters Karissa and Kristina Shannon will be there, as will former live-in flames Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt, and Holly Madison.
It is not known if Wilkinson’s fiancé, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, will be there but it’s pretty safe to say that Madison’s more recent ex, Criss Angel, is not on the guest list.
The names of those lucky enough to be invited to the exclusive poolside party have not been released, but Palms owner George Maloof is among those expected to attend.
After some fun in the sun, Hef will take his partying public later that night, with two celebrations in the resort’s Fantasty Tower, at Moon and Playboy nightclubs. Those parties are open to the public, though standard cover charges apply.
Palms Casino Resort has come a long way since its "Real World" debut in 2002. The boutique property features three distinct towers and a diverse mix of bars and restaurants across a 95,000-square-foot casino.
Palms, which features more than 1,200 rooms and fantasy suites, is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar transformation that will encompass an Ivory Tower room and suite redesign, new culinary additions, re-imagined gaming spaces and new, distinctive nightlife experiences.
In addition to newly designed rooms, during the first phase of the renovation, Palms will welcome Heraea, a high-energy American restaurant and lounge, and XISHI, a pan-Asian restaurant and lounge.
Fantasy Suites include the Hardwood Suite, the only hotel room in the world with its own basketball court.
Other amenities include the all-new Cantor Gaming® race and sports book, one of the few sports books in Las Vegas to include a poker room; SOCIAL; Scarlet; Chocolat Bistro; tonic bar; ghostbar; Pearl Concert Theater; Moon Nightclub; N9NE Steakhouse; Nove Italiano; Simon Restaurant & Lounge; Palms Pool & Bungalows; Kim Vō Salon; Drift Spa & Hammam; Brenden Theatres, a 14-theatre cineplex and more than 60,000 square-feet of meeting space.
