Tara Conner snubs crown from Vegas club

Former Miss USA Tara Conner was set to be crowned Miss Jet 2008 on Saturday night.

Miss Jet is a heavily advertised promotion for the Las Vegas nightclub Jet at Mirage that began last year to coincide in Vegas with the Miss America pageant. 

But the event did not happen as planned. Conner did not come to Jet to get crowned. From what I hear, her management pulled her out of the party at the last minute.

 

This is not the first time in Tara Conner's brief career that she has left a Vegas club in the lurch.

In December 2006, she was to turn 21 at a highly publicized party at Pure at Caesars. Conner canceled at the last moment after a controversy erupted over her alleged underage drinking in New York. She also entered rehab.

 

But the rehabbed Conner has not stayed away from Vegas. On the contrary, she has become part of the Vegas club scene. In December she celebrated her 22nd birthday by going to Pure. This was also the anniversary of canceling on Pure for her previous birthday. But that night too resulted in a miniature controversy over how much or if Conner drank.

 

So, after ditching Jet, which is owned by the Light Group, this weekend, Conner has now canceled events on both the major players in Vegas nightlife: Pure Management Co. and Light Group.

 

My guess is that Tara Conner has worn out her welcome as a nightclub hostess in Vegas.

 

No word yet as to who will be taking her place as Miss Jet  2008.
