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.



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.

Our guy was convinced he was talking to the original moon walker, Neil Armstrong (upper left), this weekend in D.C. -- only problem, he had the wrong astronaut.


By random coincidence though, this guy's actually been to the moon too -- he's Apollo 16 passenger Charlie Duke.
