SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS played some blackjack at the Pool After Dark at Harrah's, where he co-hosted a party Saturday night with "Mob Wives" star Drita D'Avanzo. The last time the music mogul was scheduled to appear at the Harrah's hotspot, a near-riot broke out because of an unruly, overpacked crowd.

On Friday night Dustin Diamond, known to a generation as Screech from "Saved by the Bell," celebrated his 35th birthday with a party at the Pool.
