What: Hotel ZaZa Memorial City grand opening bash

Where: In the rocking new property’s ballroom and around the pool which morphed into a Veuve Clicquot hotspot

PC Moment: Hotel ZaZa mastermind Charlie Givens and his wife, Laurie, flew in from home base in Dallas to welcome more than 700 guests to his latest high-style caravansary. Garnering a first look at the highly touted property guests swooned as they toured the Magnificent 7 Suites, where each was specially themed with music, cocktails and dessert.

A Vegas vibe prevailed in the Great Expectations ballroom where J&D Entertainment provided a covey of burlesque beauties and DJ Kenny Flip, adding an electric violin to his sound. At the weekday bewitching hour of 10 pm, ZaZa staff amped up the party with sparklers and light-up wands.
