VEGAS MYTH BUSTED: Celebrity Sightings on the Strip Are Rare, Here's Why

- Private villa areas like The Mansion at MGM Grand (2,500-12,000 sq ft villas)
- Exclusive tower suites with private elevators (Venetian Chairman Suites, Aria Sky Villas, Wynn Tower Suites)
- Separate entrances with dedicated security and concierge services

This level of privacy is necessary for celebrities' safety and security, protecting them from stalkers, threats, and unwanted media attention. Even celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay only visit their Vegas restaurants once yearly for contracted appearances, during which the venues are closed to the public.
