As we reported last week, Entourage star Kevin Dillon (aka Johnny Drama) was hosting a pretty serious pre-Super Bowl party Friday night at the Seminole Hard Rock's Floyd's nightclub. While the scheduled "celeb" appearances were not necessarily anything to be too excited about beforehand — think Khloe Kardashian — the roster of celebs that turned up at the hotel for the party and the big names who crashed at the hotel for the Super Bowl were pretty impressive.

An insider on the scene relayed some of the more notable the celeb sightings from the Friday evening soiree: unsurprisingly, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kris Kardashian showed up and their party stamina outlasted many of the other guests (the party kept going til 6 in the morning, which was totes legal since the hotel's got a casino) — and will.i.am, Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Paris Hilton also showed up to the shindig.

The next night (Saturday), our insider tells us that the hotel's super upscale steakhouse Council Oak was the place to be for celebs:

Blake, Penn and Chase of Gossip Girl ate dinner at Council Oak Steak House at Hard Rock Hotel Tampa. Blake went to bed directly after dinner.

Gossip Girl cast was eating dinner at Council Oak next to Reggie Bush and The Kardashians at one table and the E Street Band at another. Other NFL sports stars were trickled at each table. There wasn't a table in the joint that didn't have one celeb or high-roller sitting at it.

Damn — for once, Tampa was a celeb hotspot. According to a local news outlet in Tampa, the influx of big names and huge volumes of Super Bowl visitors brought some pretty obnoxious traffic to the area — and the property was so flooded with people that the Hard Rock was actually turning people away from the casino on Saturday night.

Must have been a pretty tricky sea of people to navigate for the celebs who stayed overnight at the hotel. Reportedly, Paris Hilton, Benji and Joel Madden, Ashton and Demi, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, Brody Jenner, Jerry Rice and Joe Montana all crashed at the hotel for the weekend.
