The Jersey Shore star, 22, hosted a party at Las Vegas nightclub Jet wearing a costume that paid tribute to her favorite, subtly suggestive snack: a green, sequined mini-dress, green cape, green shoes and a sparkly tiara. Capping off the royal ensemble, Snooki held a royal scepter with a giant pickle on top.

"The Pickle Princess has arrived," Snooki Tweeted, adding that her pal, new castmember Deena Nicole Cortese (dressed as s superhero) was also on hand for the bash.

It wasn't long before the reality superstar got her drink on. "Pickle princess is gettin saucy!" she wrote. "Jet is insane! Vegas let's go!"

Snooki was also on the hunt for another reality star in town: Kendra Wilkinson Baskett, who hosted her own party at LAX.

"KendraWilkinson let's have a drink," Snooki Tweeted. "Sexy MILF...On the search 4 KendraWilkinson."

No word on whether the duo met up for Halloween cocktails.
