The starlet will have less places to party after drug bust
Paris Hilton’s been given the cold shoulder by a Las Vegas resort after she was allegedly caught in possession of cocaine last week.
The 29-year-old socialite and her boyfriend Cy Waits were driving along Sin City's famous Strip when their car was pulled over by cops, who chose to search the vehicle after allegedly smelling marijuana.
Cy was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and Paris asked police to escort her into the nearby Wynn resort, so she could relieve herself.
Suspicious police officers insisted the celebrity place her purse on a table in a security room, prompting Paris to ask if she could retrieve her lip balm.
Lt Dennis Flynn of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says, ‘As she began to open it, I saw a small [stash] of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.’
Paris told the officer the cocaine was not hers and she thought it was gum.
She was subsequently detained under suspicion of cocaine possession.
And now Wynn spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne insists the hotel heiress will no longer be permitted inside Wynn Las Vegas properties.
The ban comes days after nightclub boss Cy was reportedly fired from his job as managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub at Wynn and XS Nightclub at Encore, another Wynn resort.
Paris faces up to four years in prison and a $5000 fine after prosecutors in Clark County, Nevada charged her with felony possession of a controlled substance on Tuesday.
The socialite will return to Las Vegas on October 27 for arraignment.
