Britney gets boot from Wynn?

09:09 AM PT, Jul 27 2007
Rumors that Britney Spears was in Vegas to see the Fergie show this Saturday seem to have caused her troubles on the domestic front. US is reporting that Spears checked out of the Wynn yesterday after Kevin Federline's lawyer complained she did not have permission to bring their children to Nevada.
 
 
But things also seem to have gotten really strange. Apparently, even before that, a fracas developed between a photographer and a bodyguard for Spears at Wynn. According to Robin Leach's blog, a misdemeanor battery charge was issued by police to the bodyguard and, after being informed of events, Steve Wynn ordered the self destructing pop star escorted off property by his security detail.

I've reached out to Wynn for comment.
 
Of course, Spears is scheduled to host the opening of LAX at Luxor on August 31.

UPDATE:

The word from Wynn.
 
This statement was just sent to me from Wynn Resorts in response to my query:
 

"At Wynn Las Vegas, we respect the privacy and do our utmost to maintain the anonymity of our guests.  In the event that this is compromised, we take the appropriate action. Given the widespread news reports of Ms. Spears’ recent stay at Wynn Las Vegas, we can confirm the following:

Ms. Spears was a guest of Wynn Las Vegas this week.  She elected to leave the resort on Thursday afternoon, July 26, of her own accord.  We have no comment with regards to any alleged activity during her stay with us and will not comment on our guests’ experience at Wynn Las Vegas."

This brings up an interesting point: why did Britney Spears' bring her KIDS to Las Vegas?

No doubt, I am the spawn of parents who brought their kids to Las Vegas all the time (I think we went about 10 times before I was 18), but we went during the early-to-mid 1990s, when Vegas was trying to embrace the family fun image (which it has, since about the early 2000s, been trying to steer away from like a bat out of hell). That new Vegas family edition brought on a theme park at MGM, a water park down the street, tons of family shows. Now, families are lucky that Rick Thomas is still doing his afternoon act at the Tropicana.

On my most recent, 21-year birthday celebration in Vegas, I saw TONS of people with their kids. My girlfriend and I were baffled. Don't they realize that, without that family-fun atmosphere, Las Vegas is really just the modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah? What happens when you 5-year-old, who is barely able to spell his own name, looks down to pick up a small card with a nude woman (which, if you have never been to Vegas, almost cover every inch of sidewalk), relying on bright stars to cover her private areas (and barely, at that). I'm not one to be a prude, but I think there is a line that is crossed when you just put your kids in a place where they so obviously should not be. Parents, what happened to responsibility? Just get a babysitter for the weekend!

Why is there a comment as to when a guest supposed arrived, or not, and their departure, unless it is a public record event?

Shouldn't there just be a no comment from Wynn?

They may want to distance themselves, but even that can backfire.

However, whatever they do in private to keep out any guest that might be disrespectful to the guests or the hotel is to be commended. No one wants unwanted guests.

Can't wait to go to Wynn!
