Gazillionaire hosts Justin Timberlake

The artist who would be an ideal headliner in a Vegas residency visited the Gazillionaire on Sunday night.

Justin Timberlake took in the 10 p.m. performance of the Strip’s long-running Spiegelwold production. He and a large group reportedly enjoyed the show. Timberlake’s mother, Lynn Harless, headed up the entrourage.

The singer did not sit for the requisite post-show “Throne Shot” with Gaz and assorted cast members. But even though he’d arranged for an early departure to avoid the requisite crush of fans, he instead stayed to the final bow — and after. He posed for a shot with Gaz backstage, and also snapped a pic with such cast members as Paul Lopez of The Frat Pack high-wire act, and Misha Furmanczyk of balancing act Duo Vector, two of the few remaining “Absinthe” acts that date to the show’s opening on the Strip in April 2011.

Timberlake was in town to play iHeartRadio Music Festival’s second night at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday. Sunday was his first encounter with Gaz, who might or might not have the cash to pony up to bring Timberlake to the Colosseum to help fill the void left by Celine Dion’s upcoming departure.
