LAVO's Party Brunch Get's STARTED! Marquee Nightclub Has CELEBS!




Saturday afternoon, LAVO Party Brunch kicked off its fourth season bigger and better than ever. Between enjoying brunch and dancing the afternoon away, Grammy award-winner Cedric Gervais acted as special guest lifeguard for the “Beach to Brunch” themed affair. Gold confetti and champagne showers rained down as revelers danced on tables to the sounds of DJ Lema. LAVO Party Brunch takes place inside the restaurant every Saturday throughout the fall and winter seasons from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

That night, the entire Los Angeles Clippers team visited TAO Asian Bistro for dinner after their preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. There they enjoyed satay of Chilean sea bass, crispy orange chicken and Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeƱo. Shortly after the team dinner started, Glen “Big Baby” Davis took the microphone from the DJ and sang his song "Big Baby Gon’ Turn It Up" to a packed dining room.

The team then went up to the nightclub where they made a special order of LAVO’s famed Oreo Zeppole. In addition to Big Baby getting on the mic, Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin made rookie C.J. Wilcox dance in the middle of the dance floor while the team cheered him on. They also tried to embarrass teammate J.J. Redick by having his name displayed on the LED screen and having the DJ shout him out. The group of players, which also included Reggie Bullock, Jordan Farmar, Matt Barnes, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Spencer Hawes and Hedo Turkoglu, danced all night.

At Marquee Nightclub, Bruno Mars hosted his official after-concert party. Mars surprised excited partygoers by heading up to the DJ booth to sing along to his hits “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Bubble Butt.” Spotted in Mars’ VIP area was Matt Damon with a group of friends, as well as Jennifer Lopez, sporting a black crop top and pants ensemble with sneakers. Lopez was joined by her manager Benny Medina and the whole crew danced the night away to the sounds of DJ Mike Attack.

Healing Garden Sprouts Up At The Shade Tree W/Help From The Venetian/Palazzo



The new healing garden at The Shade Tree shelter in Las Vegas is now blossoming thanks to the IMEX Challenge, The Sands Expo and The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas.

Meeting industry professionals who attended the IMEX America exhibition at the Sands Expo Oct. 14-16, along with volunteers from Sands Expo, The Venetian and The Palazzo, rolled up their sleeves to create a unique one-of-a-kind lush garden at The Shade Tree center for abused women, their children and pets.

This initiative was spearheaded by a humanitarian challenge set forth by IMEX America, in partnership with Sands Cares and The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas. Sands Cares, the charitable arm of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. and GES teamed up with IMEX America as host sponsors of the challenge. In addition, a team from Sands Cares created the space from the very beginning from design outlines for the space, and covered all costs.

“This beautiful healing garden can serve as a place to get away, pray and have some quiet time or read a book” said John Caparella, president and COO of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo. “The Shade Tree is a great organization and both IMEX and Sands are happy to be a part of what we can do to help."
