Party-goers, VIPs and celebrities experienced old-school carnival bumper cars from Olay Fresh Effects, freshened up in the Olay Fresh Effects refresh station (with braid specialists) and rode The Zipper and Rampage from GUESS and Nylon & Olay Fresh Effects Ferris wheel.
Known for artfully blending two concepts into one, the modern steakhouse and a chic lounge, STK offered key culinary favorites.
