2007 NBA All-Star Week - Las Vegas

    Congratulations to two-time (2002 & 2007) NBA All-Star game MVP, Kobe Bryant. Toni Braxton, Cirque du Soleil and Christina Aguilera were all great half-time performers. Too bad the West All-Stars blew out the East All-Stars in second half of the game, 153-132 and Dwight Howard got jobbed by Michael Jordan and Dr. J. on the best dunk of the Slam Dunk contest, the "Sticker Dunk." Here's a link to official 2007 NBA All-Star photos.

    If you like crowds, it was off the chain. A record was set for traffic in Las Vegas as pre- and post-game activities lived up to the hype. Despite the crowds and long lines, the scale of the event never got out of hand. Las Vegas and NBA officials are to be commended for their planning and handling of events.

    Browse our Casino Resorts, Restaurant & Club plus our Soulful Show Reviews, Le Reve & Cirque du Soleil, Magic and Other show reviews for lots of great post-all-star game activities. In case you missed it, see our eye-catching Soulful Shows photo gallery for Toni Braxton, George Wallace and Prince. Read a short summary of how all the doors to Las Vegas were opened by Sammy Davis, Jr. Without him, there would not have been an NBA All-Star game in Las Vegas.
