Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z had a star-studded turnout for his concert with Ciara last night at The Pearl Concert Theater in the Palms, and he took the opportunity to pay tribute from the stage to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson.

Gorgeous R&B singer Rihanna, traveling with friends and no romantic match, attended and danced happily and enthusiastically through nearly the entire concert.

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, who hosts Fourth of July celebrations today at TAO Beach during the day and Lavo tonight, wound up onstage with Jay-Z for an unexpected closing duet!

Palms resident DJ AM sat in on the show before taking the wheels of steel at Rain after the concert.

Jay-Z, who will perform a second concert there tonight, also paid tribute to Michael by showing the music video for Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.”
