Las Vegas’ hottest resorts don’t meet the standards of Lady Gaga, who insisted on a room with a private pool.
Sources say the superstar was on the edge of a meltdown when she checked into the luxurious Cosmopolitan hotel, which boasts three different types of pools — a “relaxing” one, a day club and a nightclub. But with no private pool, she immediately checked out and headed for The Palms Casino Resort.
“She checked into the Cosmo, was unhappy with the room, checked out and then went to The Palms, but still wasn’t happy and was frantically searching for a new room,” a source told us.
A Cosmopolitan spokesperson confirmed, “Lady Gaga did check out of the property, but she did not hate her room and had nothing but praise for the arrival staff, butlers, etc. She was looking for a private pool, which the resort doesn’t offer.”
Gaga’s rep, Amanda Silverman, said: “It was not a whole drama. She moved to The Palms to do a recording. She had some meetings. She switched because she had stayed at The Palms before. It wasn’t like she hated her room, she doesn’t care about that stuff.”
The Palms, where the lady monster is still staying for the weekend, comes equipped with a private recording studio.
Gaga is in Las Vegas performing at the iHeartRadio music festival along with Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Coldplay, The Black Eyed Peas, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Kenny Chesney, Sting, Bruno Mars and Usher.
Sources say arrangements around the concert, to promote the free online digital radio station, seemed chaotic. “It’s strangely radio silent,” a source said Friday. “Nobody, like the casino hosts, knows what’s going on with the concert. The set times haven’t been announced … Most of the artists … aren’t being paid and are more concerned with their deals at the nightclubs, which are paying them to perform later in the evening.”
