Some big-name brands flocked to the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 17. We touched base with several planners to see what they thought of New Orleans as a host city.
“As far as proximity goes, you couldn’t ask for anything better. Everything is within walking distance or a five-minute cab ride. The footprint of this city is much easier to get around than [last year’s host city] Vegas.”

Celebrity Vegas Overload: Diddy, Jay-Z, Kobe, Shaq and More, More, More Stars Plus Illegal Parties Fallout
December 7th, 2008The city shut down Diddy as fire and safety officials nixed the mogul rapper’s daredevil attempt to repel his way through the open-rooftop of Moon nightclub tonight from a helicopter at The Palms. Less than two hours after LUXE LIFE’s exclusive story of Diddy’s “grand entrance,” the stunt was canceled because of safety and security concerns. Now, Diddy is dreaming a new headline-making opportunity.
Singer Jay-Z set his lawyers in a full force attack against the ICE nightclub when he learned they were promoting his appearance there – at the same time he will be hosting his own party with LeBron James at the rival TAO nightclub in the Venetian tonight. He filed in the 8th Judicial District Court (Case # A536361) and won a temporary restraining order against ICE for its unauthorized use of his name and likeness. His lawyer, Robert Reynolds, told us: “Jay-Z is often misrepresented. False representation of a party at ICE is particularly egregious as his name, likeness, and both of his companies, Rockafella Records and Rocawear, are being used to sell tickets when he has no association with that event. Jay-Z is actually hosting his own party at another location Saturday night in Las Vegas. We will successfully shut down the event at ICE and want to warn innocent attendees of falsely promoted party.”
