Round Mound Rebounds From Casino Debt

Posted May 20th 2008 7:31PM by TMZ Staff

NBA Hall of Famer and legendary blackjackaholic Charles Barkley has finally forked over a check toward the $440,000 he owes the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas -- but officials have yet to confirm that Barkley paid in full.

According to a Wynn rep, the check has been sent to the Las Vegas D.A.'s office for processing.

Barkley insists he's giving up gambling for the next couple of years -- wanna bet?

Kobe's $21,000 Bubbly Bill

Posted Sep 3rd 2007 4:09PM by TMZ Staff

Kobe Bryant is known for being a tough competitor -- but in the club?!

Basketballin' Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari kick in for two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club, Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!

Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club! Just to put Bryant's baller status into perspective -- Kobe's $21,000 bill still doesn't cover what NBA and gambling legend Charles Barkley drops on one hand of blackjack!

Happy Birthday Tom's Mom

Posted Sep 25th 2006 12:43PM by TMZ Staff

Say what you will about Tom Cruise, the guy takes time out for his mama.

TomKat, with Tom's kids Isabella and Connor in tow, took Tom's mom to dinner in Las Vegas for her 70th birthday. The family enjoyed a nice relaxing meal outside on the patio of exclusive restaurant SW inside the Wynn Hotel and Casino.

In fact, the dinner was so relaxing TomKat seemed to be a bit bored. Then again, who among us hasn't been bored hanging with our parents when there are millions of dollars to be won just a few feet away in the casino!
