Nas Celebrates Album At TAO; Sean Avery & #Spiritday At Marquee Vegas
Hip hop legend Nas celebrated the release of his new album “Life is Good” at TAO on Friday. He fueled up for the night with friends in the restaurant and was greeted by TAO’s Executive Chef Michael Armstrong who sent a selection of signature dishes to the table.
After dinner, they made their way into the packed nightclub and DJ Ross One announced Nas’ arrival to a cheering crowd. The group took in the club scene at a row of VIP booths on the dance floor as fans turned to sneak a peek of the hip hop superstar.
Nas then took to the stage and jumped on the mic, treating club goers to an impromptu performance of some of his classic hits, “Hate Me Now,” “It Ain’t Hard To Tell,” “If I Ruled The World,” and “Made You Look.”
Hands filled the air and fans rapped along to every word. At the end if his performance Nas said, “I want to thank TAO for bringing me out tonight. I needed it.
We all need Vegas.” He also left the crowd with a few words of wisdom, stating, “No matter what, life is good.”
At Marquee NHL legend Sean Avery hosted the official GLAAD #spiritday party, speaking out against bullying and showing support for LGBT youth. Avery dined at TAO before heading to Marquee where he held court for a private party in the club’s Boom Box Room as the crowd sipped Hpnotiq Harmonie cocktails and watched the Strip turn purple at 10 pm.
After he made his way to the main room to take in the sounds of headline DJ Dirty South. Miss Nevada 2012 Randi Sundquist also joined the party in the Boom Box Room.
Marquee Cares, the charitable arm of Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, donated a portion of proceeds from all table sales for the night and 100% of pre-sale tickets to GLAAD and Flip the Script.
The club honored the day even further by turning the venue purple for the night.
