Jackson Gets Posthumous B'Day Gift from Vegas

Posted Aug 30th 2009 11:20AM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson was honored in Las Vegas last night -- on what would have been his 51st birthday -- with a star on the Palms Casino Resort's Walk of Fame.

Joe Jackson

Robin Leach presented the star to Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who said, "I wish he was here to see this take place."

Afterwards, Joe had dinner at the N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms and then went up to the Playboy Club. After that, he went to another nightclub called Moon, where the DJ played Michael Jackson songs all night.

3. He needs to sit his old ass down somewhere. I think the Jackson clan need to gather together to admit him to a nursing facility. I think ole Joe is sufferng from Alzheimers and dementia.

4. The Jehovah Witnesses I know don't frequent Las Vegas nightclubs.

Or any night clubs.

13. it's kind of ironic Joe being there instead of Michael or even representing him

14. To the Playboy Club..................??? After something like that? After honoring your DEAD SON??? The man is DISGUSTING!!!

15. There's just something right about all of this... Where were all these people when Michael needed support during his trial? Now they are honoring him left and right,in playing his music all night long. Papa Joe is getting all this attention. I don't think he should be in the limelight at this point. People are still upset at him for how he treated Michael and for the dumb things he continues to say. Where is Katherine in all of this? If it's about Honoring Michael don't you think they should both be there? Oh...and Michael hasn't been buried yet, that right!
Anybody advising this family?
