Sir Elton John will eclipse all of his past parties with a Las Vegas-style bash for some of the world's A-list celebritiess on June 28, 2007.

The singer will host the Sin City party along with his partner David Furnish at the multimillion- pound sprawling mansion in Windsor, Berkshire. He has invited a host of top stars - including Victoria and David Beckham and the Osbourne family - to his home, and is promising a night of showgirls, roulette wheels and coin-operated machines.

Last year, the White Tie And Tiara ball cost £1,000 a head and raised £4.6 million for charity. This year promises to be even bigger. Sir Elton has a different theme each year, and this year has decided to re-create Las Vegas in his home.

He has put up a marquee and has hired croupiers to help his guests part with their cash for a good cause. A source revealed: "Elton is hoping that his friends will enjoy tonight and remember it as their best invite of the year. He wants it to be an enjoyable night for all of his closest friends, so he thought came up with the idea of Las Vegas.

"He has invested in getting roulette wheels, croupiers, slot machines and generally re-enacting the atmosphere of Las Vegas, and he has got his entire celebrity guest list waiting to turn up."

Victoria Beckham is top of the guest list, she landed in London today to promote the Spice Girls reunion but will waste no time hot-footing it to Windsor for the party. David Beckham will also be at the party - before he dashes back to America to help out his new football team LA Galaxy, which have had a disastrous start to their season.

Liz Hurley, whose son Damian is Sir Elton's godson, is also expected to turn up with husband Arun Nayar. Also expected is former footballer turned celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana.

In addition, X-Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, her partner Ozzy - who has just completed an impressive tour - and children Jack and Kelly are also due to head down to Windsor.
