PLAYBOY CLUB MENTALIST DIES AT AGE 33

Mentalist Jason Scott, who has been appearing as a regular at The Playboy Club at The Palms for two years, died unexpectedly Tuesday from unknown causes at his Summerlin home, according to his personal manager Clinton Ford Billups Jr.

Scott, 33, had spent the previous six years at The House of Blue Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay.

Billups said Scott returned from a weekend engagement in Bostom complaining of stomach problems. An autopsy is planned and funeral arrangement are pending, Billups said.

Billups, who formerly produced The Amazing Kreskin, said Scott was a rising star. “In the last year he performed at birthday parties for Steven Spielberg, Sting and Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics.”
