“Casino Jack” Abramoff cooks up grandiose plans to open restaurants and a religious school between his swindling schemes. When it comes to pipe dreams, Spacey wants a grand Sin City show. “I’ve always had this fantasy of going to Vegas and doing a great headliner, the kind they don’t do anymore," he said. Speaking of star turns, event co-host Lani Hay was in the Navy—and ‘90s-era Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre music vids—before becoming a political CEO. In the future, a run for Virginia governor and becoming the first female president are on Hay’s to-do list. “I will never reveal which videos I was in, but it was fun at the time!” she told us of her stint as a backup dancer. A vegan resto near her new Puglia pad is part of Kat Mack’s ten-year plan. “I mean, they eat horse there, so it could be a challenge.”



And while Spacey’s character “gambled and lost in the world of politics,” the actor does enjoy hitting the blackjack tables offscreen. Fellow partygoer Megan DiCiurcio, entertainment PR director at Tommy Hilfiger, apparently plays a mean game of twenty-one as well. “Megan’s so good at blackjack, you could tell me she counts cards and I’d believe it,” actor Will Malnati dished to us as he mingled with Megan and her artist hubby, Todd DiCiurcio. Perhaps it’s just the chicette’s encounters with fate, thanks to her affinity for fortune cookies (especially with the numbers 3, 7 or 18 on the back) and horoscopes. “I’m enjoying good karma, appreciating the magic and living the dream!” A recent store opening in Paris, where “so many chic girls were rocking the Tommy,” and lots of red carpet action for the brand during the upcoming awards season? Sounds dreamy indeed, and fashionably far from the film’s D.C. drama.
