Forgive us — we’re a little late to the party here at LasVegasPromotionCodes.com. Unless you have spent the past couple of days hiking the Appalachian Trail, by now you’ve heard about Paris Hilton’s arrest on suspicion of cocaine possession in Las Vegas. Where to start?

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Hilton’s booking photo. That has to be the most glamorous mugshot in history, with the possible exception of Gary Busey’s.

In a bizarre, if implausible, twist, Hilton reportedly told officers “the purse was not hers, and that she had borrowed it from a friend.” As for the cocaine, she “thought it was gum.”

And the latest news is that boyfriend Cy Waits, who was arrested at the same time as Hilton, has been fired as managing partner of Tryst and XS nightclubs as a result of the allegations.
