AnnaLynne McCord celebrates her birthday Vegas-style in a bikini (with a helping hand from her boyfriend Kellan Lutz)

Swept off her feet: AnnaLynne McCord gets a real lift on her birthday from boyfriend Kellan Lutz at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas

Its the ultimate place to party.

90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord chose Las Vegas as the location for her 23rd birthday celebrations and brought her boyfriend, actor Kellan Lutz, along for the ride.

The pair spent the afternoon yesterday enjoying the all day pool party at WET Republic at the MGM Grand Hotel, hosted in AnnaLynne's honour. And she repaid the compliment by parading around in a stunning bikini.

Resident DJ 'Skratchy' announced the celebration while the crowd joined in singing 'Happy Birthday' to AnnaLynne.

She received a beautiful, tropically decorated three-tier birthday cake and friends took photos of the birthday girl as she celebrated her big day with a hibiscus-topped Fiji water-themed cake (so she didn't have to pay for THAT).

AnnaLynne and Kellan, star of the Twilight Saga films, were affectionate and playful with each other.

The pair was seen kissing and holding hands and Kellan, 25, even swept her off her feet and threw her in the air as they posed up for pictures.

On being in Vegas Kellan said 'I love to gamble and my father comes out here a lot.'
'The pool parties are the best bit about it.'
Kellan and AnnaLynne have been dating on and off since they met on the set of 90210 back in 2008.

AnnaLynne began her birthday celebrations last week with a birthday dinner at Nobu with friends and family on Thurdsay night and was then surprised by her castmates on set on Friday with a huge cake presented by a shirtless man.
