From '59 Feet Above the Bright Lights' LG Mobile Phones and Sprint celebrated the launch of the new LG Lotus Elite and LG Rumor Touch. Model and actress Brooke Shields hosted the party held at the private residence of Phil Maloof of the Maloof Companies and Maloof Productions and Music in Las Vegas, NV. 

The action took place Thursday, Jan. 7 at the glass enclosed property that sits atop The Palms Casino and Resort and is said to be the highest private residence west of the Mississippi. 

Those who attended the event included event host Brooke Shields, MTV "The City" star Whitney Port, Gilles Marini, Cheryl Burke, and Sabrina Bryan.  

"As a model and actress, personal expression is very important to me," said Brooke Shields. "When LG Mobile Phones and Sprint approached me to host an event that celebrates two of their most expressive and boldly designed phones, it seemed a natural fit.”
