Beach volleyball fans packed the Orleans Arena when it was transformed with more than ten-tons of sand into an oceanside playground for top-ranked AVP players—and Vegas native Casey Jennings thrilled them with his sandy antics at the net with favored player, Jenny Johnson.

Thanks to Heidi Stein of AVP, Luxe Life has the full photo coverage of the unique event. Enjoy the “summer scene” from a chilly drizzly winter night!

But pro-player Sean Rosenthal wound up the men’s winner and got to celebrate with Janelle Perry, star of the E! hit reality show, Sunset Tan.

Many of the staff of LA’s Sunset Tan joined the fun to promote this Friday’s opening of their new salon at George Maloof’s new Palms Place condo-hotel tower.

Nicole Branagh won the women’s championship.

Both Nicole and Sean went undefeated during the Vegas matches to win the titles, but whereas it was Sean’s fourth win in four-events, it was Nicole’s first win on the tour. She was partnered with April Ross in their victory over Elaine Youngs and Jenny Johnson Jordan 16-14. Both Nicole and Sean each earned $4,250 for their 1st place finishes. Casey was partnered with Sean for the final men’s match, winning out over Todd Rogers and Mike Lambert 15-12. The 19-city tour had started in Oklahoma on Jan. 10 and the Vegas venue wrapped up as the final city.
