Mike bash vows ‘em in Vegas

There were no loose tigers or knockdowns like in “The Hangover,” but there was a baby and a facial tattoo at Mike Tyson‘s surprise Las Vegas “wedding” over the weekend.

Some 150 guests descended on the Vegas suburb of Henderson for what was billed as a “joint party” for Tyson and his wife, Lakiha Spicer, who both celebrate June birthdays. But when guests arrived Saturday night at the M Resort Spa Casino, the couple revealed it was actually a renewal of vows, complete with wardrobe changes, a live band, a wedding cake and a candy station.

“Guests were told it was a birthday, but then Lakiha announced that something different was happening. She pulled back a curtain to reveal a wedding setup,” a source said. The ceremony was described as “traditional Muslim,” though we’re not sure how traditionally Muslim it is to get hitched in a casino, since Islam prohibits gambling.

“Tyson looked beatifically happy, holding court” at dinner, sources said.

Spicer and Tyson were married in a quickie private Vegas ceremony two years ago. But this time, Spicer changed from a cocktail dress into a mermaid-cut white gown and veil. She switched into another white frock for the reception. The ex-champ wore a black tux and a satin white tie.

Brett Ratner and James Toback gave a toast, which turned into a Tyson roast. One guest said, “Brett and Jim razzed Tyson for being chubby in Toback’s documentary ‘Tyson.’ But they said he’s dropped 130 pounds since and looks in the best shape of his life.” Ratner also joked he was “devastated” that “Hangover” director Todd Phillips cast Tyson before he could create a role for him.

Other guests included Iron Mike’s consigliere
Tom Patti, EA Sports’ Sandy Sandoval, boxers Zab and Joe Judah, and RockLive’s Sam and John Shahidi. Tyson and Spicer’s 6-month-old baby, Morocco, was also there. “He looked just like his dad but with chubby cheeks,” said a source.
