Eva Longoria Parker is off to Sin City.

The “Desperate Housewives” star is expanding her Los Angeles restaurant Beso to Las Vegas, but with a nightlife twist, reports E! News.

Beso’s Hollywood location includes a celeb-packed upstairs lounge called Kiss where stars like Victoria Beckham, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel can be found relaxing.

“Kiss inside Beso has been evolving into a VIP spot,” a source tells the entertainment website, “so the Vegas venture will spin off Kiss as a lounge and nightclub.” Longoria Parker opened the Latin eatery in LA in March and is now apparently looking for real estate in some big-name casinos.

“She’s been spotted spending quite a bit of time at Caesar’s Palace recently,” another source tells E! News.” She is looking to open a restaurant somewhere on the Strip.”

George Clooney and his business associates are scrapping their $3 billion “vintage Vegas” resort complex idea.

According to E! Online, Clooney and associates sold the land they were planning to build on for $202 million on Monday.

“I’ll donate my profits from the sale to the African Debt Relief Project,” Clooney says.

The reasons for scrapping the plans for the new resort included rising construction costs and slow residential sales.

Despite not building in Vegas, Clooney will be in the Sin City beginning July 21 to film ?Ocean?s 13.?
