A Christmas Eve shopping spree by Michael Jackson had the Forum Shops at Caesars in an uproar Sunday.
Mobs of star-struck, flashbulb-popping shoppers followed the pop icon, who arrived in Las Vegas late Saturday with his three children after 18 months overseas.
Jackson, who reportedly plans to make his home in Las Vegas and reignite his career, was surrounded by heavy security as he did his last-minute shopping.
It's not the first time Jackson has explored a comeback in Las Vegas.
In late 2002, I reported here that a Jackson deal involving magical illusion was close to happening.
That report came a few months after Jackson had spent about two months in Las Vegas attending shows that featured illusions. He has long been fascinated with magic.
Those plans may have been sidetracked a year later when he faced trial on molestation charges involving a teenage cancer survivor at Jackson's Neverland
Michael Jackson landing on Strip?
Ending 18 months of seclusion in Europe, reclusive superstar Michael Jackson was on a plane to the United States late Saturday bound for Las Vegas, where he plans a comeback.
Jackson and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II were due to arrive before midnight at a private executive terminal at McCarran International Airport, sources said.
We hear that Jackson's friend, Las Vegas dealmaker Jack Wishna, was instrumental in having the pop icon move back to the United States.
Reminiscent of Howard Hughes' secretive arrival in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving Day in 1966, Jackson's surprise move came after his father, Joe Jackson, vowed his son would not live in the United States again.
The 48-year-old deposed King of Pop has lived in Bahrain and a Celtic castle in Ireland since being acquitted in California of child molestation charges in June 2005.
Wishna, reached by telephone, wouldn't comment, other than to confirm Jackson was moving to Las Vegas and to say, "We are working on several projects."
Jackson has had more than a dozen No. 1 hits on the U.S. charts, the last in 1995. He has not toured since the mid-1990s.
Wishna wouldn't say where Jackson might land on the Strip. Wishna made headlines during Jackson's trial when he courted the entertainer, saying a Jackson comeback would earn a Celine Dion-like contract in Las Vegas.
Calling Jackson "one of the greatest entertainers in the world," Wishna said the singer "is poised to return to the top of the entertainment world soon."
It's the latest coup for Wishna. Two years ago, he brokered a deal that put Donald Trump's $2.8 billion Trump International Hotel & Tower on Phil Ruffin's New Frontier site.
After arriving in Las Vegas in 1999, Wishna put together a deal potentially worth $250 million for Wayne Newton at the Stardust. Wishna has dealt with Michael Flatley, Britney Spears, Richard Branson and Mohamed al-Fayed on Las Vegas deals.
