AB - “Celebrities party it up at the River Cree” (CASINO/Resort)
ED. - No mention here of the Carmen no show!

Aside from being one of the newest, swankiest establishments in town, the River Cree Resort and Casino throws great parties. So with a bunch of Hollywoodites in town looking for a party, the casino was an obvious choice.
With a tight and exclusive invite list, the Christmas in Wonderland cast party was aces.
Held at Mystic Ultra Lounge in the casino, the chic space offered a sophisticated, yet relaxed atmosphere.
Chef Cruz was on hand and had an incredible selection for first rate snacks from Kobe beef cubes and carpaccio to candied walnuts and the finest cheeses to be found.
Not surprisingly, local guests arrived first and then, one by one, the film crew and cast began filing in. Chris Kattan and Preston Lacy of Jackass fame were some of the first famous faces to appear. And Patrick Swayze did eventually make an appearance though it came with a request for no photographs to be taken. It was an understandable request, as the party was intended for the movie’s cast and crew to relax for an evening while in town for a few months filming.
With guests fed and watered, the music picked up as people started dancing and letting loose. There was a formal request from the film side for some late night karaoke, but others opted to join the public outside the dark curtains and throw some money around on the felt tables.
Either way, it’s great having such high profile visitors in town and River Cree were wonderful hosts for the occasion.
