He’s one half of hip-hop duo OutKast, but Big Boi gave such an exciting, high-octane-fueled performance, you’d have thought there were 10 of him! After posing for red carpet photographers at Pure in Caesars Palace, Big Boi cranked up his Speakerboxx and went into overdrive with a nine-song set, including several chart-topping hits like “So Fresh So Clean,” “Miss Jackson,” “Rosa Parks” and “The Way You Move.”

His wife Sherlita Patton led the applause from the VIP booths, where celebrity tattoo mogul Mario Barth, ex-NBA star Antoine Walker and MTV’s The Real World star Mike Mizanin of WWE fame joined in Big Boi’s street poetry.

Our contributing photographer Erik Kabik said: “He was over the top. The wall-to-wall crowd was dancing and jumping up and down in unison to his high-energy set.”

Meantime, over at the sister Christian Audigier in Treasure Island, Friday the 13th stars Aaron Yoo, Jonathan Sadowski and Nick Mennell sipped on Belvedere vodka cocktails to get their party started. When it was all over, they sped to sister nightclub LAX in the Luxor to keep the fun moving until dawn!
