"Before there was The Pearl at the Palms, most of the concerts were held at Rain Nightclub. Unless you had a skybox, I wouldn't suggest going there unless you don't mind tall sweaty guys rubbing their armpits on your head. I didn't care what the concert was, Nelly, Britney, Maroon 5, they were all fun times filled with energy. Upstairs has the best views and the easiest bars to get to.\n\nBut watching Gwen Stefani opening night at the Pearl took my breath away. It's a more intimate setting. She's undeniably beautiful and talented. Loved her Harajuku girls. \n\nSaw a bunch of D list celebs there, Paris, Nicky, Tommy Lee, Hugh's Bunny's. \n\nWe got comp'd tickets in the box seating for 5. Your own bar and restrooms. Talk about V.I.P. If we were anymore V.I.P. I would've been backstage hanging out with her hot hubby Gavin and her son Kingston.\n\nMaybe borderline stalker? \n\nThanks to the Palms for opening such a fabulous intimate venue, can't wait to see the next concert."^^ .
