Jamie Foxx goes for $50,000. Paris gets six figures. Lindsay’s rumored to be looking for a cool million. In the high-stakes battle for supremacy between Las Vegas clubs, celebrity guests don’t come for free. But which nightlife moguls pay the most — and how far will they go to make sure they win?

Today, Vegas is what New York was to the ’70s and L.A. was to the ’80s: the strobe-pulsing heart of nightlife in America. This year’s list of the country’s top 100 clubs in Nightclub & Bar magazine featured 13 from Vegas — including Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace, TAO at the Venetian, Light at the Bellagio and JET at the Mirage. With glittering redundancy, weekend after weekend, this top tier of clubs dispatches jets to L.A. to replenish stock of not-so-secret weapons in their high-stakes war for business: battalions of party-ready stars.
