Haute Events: NFL Stars Take Over the Palms

Former NFL quarterback and current executive vice president of football operations for the Denver Broncos John Elway dined at N9NE Steakhouse inside Palms Sunday night. Elway, accompanied by a party of four, sat in the main dining room and enjoyed the rib eye and truffle gnocchi. For dessert, the group shared crème brulee and S’mores.

On Saturday, comedian, actor and singer Jon Lovitz partied at Playboy Club with one other person. They sipped on mixed cocktails and hung out by the bunny bar until shortly after 1 a.m.

The Palms’ new resident deejay Clinton Sparks kicked off his Awesome residency with an explosive music set at Moon Nightclub. Celebrity friends there to support Sparks included film critic and entertainment journalist Ben Lyons and JoJo, who performed a short cameo with Sparks. The TV personality and recording artist enjoyed dinner with friends at Nove Italiano earlier that evening.
