Hugh Hefner Celebrates 83rd Birthday Sin City Style



Always one to celebrate in style, Hugh Hefner enjoyed a day-long birthday party on Saturday (April 4) at the Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Never one to have trouble juggling relationships, the Playboy mogul, who turns 83 years old on Thursday (April 9), was joined for the early celebration by his past and present girlfriends.
Starting things off by the hotel pool as he relaxed in his signature captain’s hat, Hef was flanked by his current ladies, Crystal Harris, 22, and 19-year-old twin sisters Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

Not much later, the original “Girls Next Door” stars Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson stopped by to join in on the fun.

“I’ve good company. Young people keep me young,” Hef told press on-hand. “I get older but they stay the same.”

After the midday pool session, Hugh and his guests headed inside to prepare for the evening’s festivities - which included dinner at N9NE restaurant followed by a private party at Playboy Club and Moon.

Explaining how she views the collection of former and current boyfriends, Kendra Wilkinson, who was joined by fiance Hank Baskett, said it’s like “friends and family,” adding that Saturday’s festivities were “kind of like a birthday party-slash-anniversary” for her and Hefner.
