After a blockbuster Day 1 on the show floor with record attendance for SPREE Vegas, about 400 attendees and exhibitors gathered at Fashion Show Las Vegas for a fabulous opening night happy hour sponsored by General Growth Properties. Sipping signature SPREE-tinis and nibbling hors d'oeuvres, guests watched as Fashion Show's famed runway emerged from the floor and a half-dozen models showed off the latest fashions for the coming season. A Marilyn Monroe look-alike wowed the crowed with a dead-on version of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.

Two guests took home door prizes: Bryon Troy of Ice Prints and Vicki Gruman of Simon Property Group each won a $100 gift certificate from General Growth Properties.

The party was a dose of fun and camaraderie after a busy day on the show floor. Thee Margaritaville Mixer at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville on Wednesday evening sponsored by CBL, Developers Diversified Realty, Jones Lang Lasalle and Macerich promises to be another night of fun and frivolity, beginning at 6:30pm.
