George Maloof, one of the owners of the world famous Palms Casino in Las Vegas, was busted for a DUI in Sin City just after midnight on Sunday morning.

Las Vegas Metro police also charged the 46-year-old with driving without a valid license, according to Fox 5.

This is the second high-profile behind-the-scenes Vegas mogul to be busted for a DUI in a little over a month. Cy Waits, the former nightclub impresario behind Tryst Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas, Drai's and XS Nightclub (and Paris Hilton's boyfriend), was arrested for driving under the influence back in late August.

Of course, Waits was let go from his position for his indiscretion, but since Maloof is an owner we think his job is probably pretty safe.

But why can't these big-wigs afford a driver?
