If it’s true that what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas, we might never know what’s about to go down Thursday night at Crazy Horse III, the famous gentleman’s club next to Allegiant Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played Sunday.

But who knows? Maybe Tech N9ne will share?

The Kansas City hip-hop artist will host a party there, kicking off the club’s Super Bowl party weekend, according to posters for the event.

Unnamed sources tell TMZ the club has $20,000 in singles ready for Tech to rain onto the crowd. (We’ve reached out to his music label, Strange Music, to confirm but haven’t heard back.)

Special guests listed on the party poster include cornerbacks, linebackers and other players from the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders.

If TMZ’s sources are to be believed, Tech has requested top-drawer liquor be at the ready, including 10 magnum bottles of tequila.


A star-powered Super Bowl

The spectacle of Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and more made the 2024 championship the most-watched Super Bowl ever.

The club, also known as CH3, calls itself one of the largest strip clubs in the country. More than 50,000 square feet of space. With four bars, six stages, private suites and VIP seating, the place is popular with celebrities and athletes.

It never closes.

Tight end Travis Kelce was seen wearing one of the club’s black logo T-shirts in November after the Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders in Allegiant Stadium. There was no “confirmation or indication” Kelce had been at the club that weekend, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.

But the folks at the club were happy to “acknowledge Travis Kelce as a fan and supporter of our brand,” they told the newspaper. (They never disclose patrons’ names.)

Tech, co-founder of Strange Music, arrived in Vegas early this week, according to a video he posted to his Instagram. It shows him greeting fans and posing with several during his journey west. On the plane. In the airport. On the Strip. Inside the stadium. Pictures with Chiefs cheerleaders and with Blue Man Group performers lurking behind him.

Fans on Instagram noted how he takes time to stop and talk to fans, admirers who clearly recognize the man who sings the Chiefs’ hype song, “Red Kingdom.”

“Have the best time!!” the Country Club Plaza’s Instagram account wrote to him. In November Tech became the first hip-hop artist to flip on the holiday lights in the Plaza Lighting Ceremony.

In May, Tech will be featured in “a night of music unlike any other” when he performs with the Kansas City Symphony at the Midland theater. The symphony invited him.

But his fans have a different sort of performance in mind right now.

“You performing at all this week,” one fan asked on his Instagram.

“Yes,” he replied.

“Halftime show?” another fan asked.

He didn’t answer.

Usher — and? — will perform the Super Bowl halftime show.
