2. Federer & Williams at 2010 Sony Ericson Open April 1-4

Screen shot 2010-03-24 at 11.08.28 AMWith $9 million in prize money, the Sony Ericsson Open is currently the largest tennis tournament in the world for Title Sponsorship. But the main fact drawing tennis fans to this year’s tournament is that the top 15 men and top 50 women as ranked by ATP will be in attendance; this includes both Williams sisters and perennial champ Roger Federer.

The Sony Ericsson Open, considered one of the most prestigious titles in professional tennis, has been awarded “Tournament of the Year” by the ATP in eight of the last 10 years. The tournament grounds hold 18 different courts, and together with Stadium Court, which seats 13,800 spectators, there will be no shortage of excitement.

2. Sports Star Waiter Dinner for a Good Cause March 4

Picture 25Meeting celebrities (or dreaming of meeting them), may be a guilty wish for many of us, but at the 2nd annual Sports Affair: Celebrity Waiter Dinner, you can feel like a star among the stars. Back by popular demand, this event is attended by some of Denver’s hottest athletes, including Denver Nugget J.R. Smith and former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers. The evening not only includes star athletes, attendees will have dinner, entertainment, and both a live and silent auction. The best part? The Celebrity Waiter Dinner is all for a good cause: the proceeds will go to the Make A Wish Foundation.

The Stars Are Always Out At Nobu Dallas

Picture 4Strategically located off the ultra-luxurious lobby of Hotel Crescent Court, and smack in the heart of Uptown, sits one of Dallas’ sexiest Japanese hotspots. But this isn’t your average sushi joint; this is Nobu Dallas.

A testament to the parking lot full of Bentleys, Maseratis, and Porsches outside, Nobu is prone to frequent visits from VIP guests of the hotel, as well as repeat offenders of pretty much any Dallas sports team from the Cowboys to Mavericks to Stars. And speaking of stars, A-list celebrities and Dallas elite have also been known to frequent their favorite tables, servers, and dishes right here at good ol’  Nobu Dallas.

Nobu offers something delicious for every palate- even those who tend to run from raw fish. Nobu also offers a variety of hearty fare; most notably the Wagyu beef (think Kobe or Washu), their very famous Black Cod with miso glaze, or Lobster Tempura for those with bigger appetites. And just say Omakase! if you have no idea what to order to let your knowledgable server map out your meal. Despite the reputation of most Japanese restaurants, we would suggest saving room for the desserts here.
