The ladies love Taye Diggs.

That much we've known since Isaiah Washington got himself into hot water on and off the set of Grey's Anatomy, prompting some fans to start speculating about Diggs stepping into the role of Dr. Preston Burke.

While Grey's and Private Practice creator Shonda Rhimes was having none of that, Taye Diggs remains extremely popular with the female set... as these somewhat racy photos from a recent jaunt to Las Vegas certainly indicate!

Celebrity gossip site TMZ.com snared some pics of the Private Practice doc doing, shall we say, a little smooth operating with some girls at Vegas' PURE nightclub over the weekend....

Wow. Either his wife, Idina Menzel, is cool with this sort of thing somehow, or Taye Diggs is never going to be allowed to go to Vegas by himself again.
