A platinum posse of porn princesses and a troupe of topless temptresses have tottered into Las Vegas on their sky-high heels for the 20th annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo, and the silicone is spilling and on show all over Cleavage City!

The erotic edginess kicked off Monday night with the Porn Star Takeover party at Crazy Horse III, and contributing photographer Scott Harrison didn’t stop to blush while taking this sexy and sassy collection.

Porn stars Alektra Blue, Kirsten Price, Nicky Hunter and Candy Manson were the center of attention posing for fan photos and signing autographs en masse. The fab four will be back again at Crazy Horse III tonight for Round 2.

On Wednesday night, the perky and provocative porn stars host their party with Teagan Presley and Alexis Texas, who between them have won 24 adult-film awards. The beauties wrap the Exotic Dancers convention at Chateau Nightclub & Gardens in the Paris. Additionally, the Penthouse Pets and centerfolds throw their party to close the festivities.

NELLY FIRES UP: Hip-hop artist Nelly was in no hurry to leave town after his Hard Rock Hotel party concert. Continuing his own Las Vegas takeover, he visited Machine Guns Vegas to fire off several rounds and pose with the Machine Gun Girls.

Described as the ultimate firearms experience, it has combined an ultra lounge with a state-of-the-art indoor gun range. With 10,000 square feet of newly built space, the facility offers an array of firearms including pistols, fully automatic machine guns, historical guns and Navy SEAL weapons.

FIRST LEGENDS: Three Las Vegas residents have been selected from the recent tryouts to join the new soccer team Las Vegas Legends debuting in October. Lenin Steenkamp, who moved here in 2006 from South Africa, has been tapped as the team’s assistant coach after playing 10 years for the Rochester Rhinos in New York.

Joshua Copeland moved here in 2009 to play with the semi-pro Knights and has been named a defender, and Guatemala-born Luis “Lucho” Suarez, who has lived here for nearly five years as a website developer, joins the Professional Arena Soccer League premiering at Orleans Arena in October.

NEW YORK BOUND: I’m off to Manhattan on a rushed, two-day round trip to meet the cast and crew of Cirque du Soleil’s “Zarkana” at Radio City Music Hall. I’ll celebrate my birthday there at the New York outpost of our Lavo at the Palazzo. “Zarkana” comes to an end of its limited blockbuster run in the Big Apple after Labor Day weekend to replace “Viva Elvis,” which ends Friday at Aria in CityCenter.

A fleet of trucks with scenery, rigging equipment and costumes heads westward to set up at Aria in two weeks for October previews and a November gala premiere. Next week, we’ll have the story of the extraordinary logistics of the theater swap as Elvis leaves the building and “Zarkana” appears. Then before the cast settles in here, we’ll have stories of the amazing and athletic acrobats in the magic-themed production.

STAR CHEFS BECOME TV JUDGES: It’s the most intimidating challenge of “Master Chef” this season, with Las Vegas chefs playing a key role tonight on Fox as the final four cooks split into two teams to prepare a three-course meal for Gordon Ramsay, his fellow judges and two other star chefs: Guy Savoy from Caesars Palace and Alain Ducasse of Mix at Mandalay Bay -- plus former Wynn chef Daniel Boulud.

The Michelin-starred guest judges will critique each course and evaluate flavor, originality and culinary finesse. The winning duo will earn a spot in the Top Three, while the losing team will compete head-to-head in a souffle test.
