Clubs in trouble over Hilton's boyfriend
Published Wednesday, Mar 1 2006, 14:39 GMT | By Fiona Edwards
Two Las Vegas clubs are in legal hot water for allowing Paris Hilton's underage boyfriend admission.
Stavros Niarchos was allowed into Tao Asian Bistro at The Venetian and Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel last New Year's Eve.
Neither club has been issued citations, however, even though they violated the country code, as operators have co-operated with the authorities.
Hilton and Niarchos, 19, were both shown on surveillance footage being allowed into the Hard Rock Hotel without producing identification to prove that they were of age. The doorman, who did not ask for identification, was suspended and a security guard who escorted the couple into the club has subsequently been fired, according to Hard Rock vice president and chief financial officer Jim Bowen.
