George Clooney showed his romantic side Thursday with a Valentine’s Day date with girlfriend Sarah Larson that included “Love,” the Cirque du Soleil-Beatles show.

They dined at Nove Italiano atop the Palms Fantasy Tower before heading for The Mirage.

Clooney wore a dark suit and. Larson was in a red dress.

Clooney began dating Larson last year after they met at Moon, the Palms nightclub where she was a cocktail server. Their romance heated up at the Las Vegas premiere of “Ocean’s 13” during the CineVegas film festival at the Palms.

Larson, 29, has been focusing on a modeling career in Las Vegas, while shuttling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas to see Clooney, 46, one of the world’s most eligible bachelors.

She has been in his company since joining him during his promotional tour of the film “Michael Clayton” during the fall.

HOLMES UPDATE

Clint Holmes was on the telephone from Atlantic City, quoting the bard of Broadway: “Neil Simon said, ‘Musicals are not written. They are rewritten.’ “

The same holds true for Holmes’ pet project, “Just Another Man.” Instead of the planned off-Broadway opening in late April, Holmes and his team are looking at taking the musical to another city before going to New York.

“We’re continuing to process it, and we feel we need to do it somewhere other than Vegas. Once you go to New York, it’s do or die. After working on it for four years, why rush now?”

Meantime, he’s booked “Clint Holmes and Friends” April 18-20 at Suncoast, after drawing strong crowds during a Christmas engagement.
