It was another big weekend in Vegas, with a slew of stars flying in for fun, work, a bit of both for most and life-changing events for two.
The historical fight at the MGM Grand between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto Saturday night brought manhy stars to the Strip this weekend, including Jeremy Piven, Kevin Dillon, Tyrese Gibson, Mario Lopez, Eddie Murphy among others for the pre-fight party at Wolfgang Puck's Bar & Grill at the MGM sponsored by HBO. Also there were on and off set buds Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. The duo took in golf and other games while in town to shoot The Other Guys.
Derek Jeter took in the prefight party, the amazing fight and made time to have dinner at one of his fave spots, N9NE steakhouse at the Palms.
After the fight, Floyd Mayweather, Jermaine Dupri and pals hit Body English at the Hard Rock. Mayweather was sporting a belt of cash in the packed club, but decided against "making it rain" for the crowd. His money was later tucked away, reports TMZ.com.
There was more than the big game Saturday night.
Bette Midler had a full house that night from Vegas headliners taking time out from their own shows. Attending "The Showgirl Must Go On" at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace was comedian Chelsea Handler, Chuy (a regular on Chelsea’s tour and her late night show Chelsea Lately on E! Entertainment), and singer Natasha Bedingfield. Handler was in town for her comedy show at The Palms. After Bette's show they all came back to say hello to the Divine Miss M. Bette was spotted chatting with Chelsea and reveling how much she liked Chelsea’s show and books. Bette’s daughter Sophie was also there to meet Chelsea.
As promised, Sammy Hagar made it to town to hang out at his newly-opened Las Vegas restaurant and nightlife experience, Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

With his signature Waborita margarita in hand, The Red Rocker jumped up on top of the bar to toast the happy crowd after first giving his official seal of approval to his second Cabo Wabo location. Hagar and his wife stayed to dine on Cabo Wabo's signature fajitas, nachos and guacamole.
SlipKnot lead singer Corey Taylor made his Vegas weekend really personal. He married Stephanie Luby on Friday night in the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort. The bride and groom were joined by 350 of their closest friends and family at the wedding. The Rock n Roll wedding included Billy Morrison as the minister and Dave Navarro and Mark MaGrath of Camp Freddy performing at the wedding. Corey also performed three songs with Camp Freddy. Guitar picks were thrown into the crowd. The walk in music for ceremony was “For whom the bell tolls."
Manny Pacquaio also took some time in Vegas for leisure, or work, depending on how you look at it. The champ laid down tracks at the Palms Studio with his band.
