In this exclusive video, The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield takes you to W Scottsdale’s W Super Weekend with Playboy and Ludacris.
Playboy is an iconic media and lifestyle brand founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner. The company hit the scene with its famed magazine, Playboy, which featured articles on a wide range of topics, as well as photographs of their celebrated Playmates. In addition to the magazine, the media giant expanded into other areas, including television, film, and digital content. In 2020, Playboy announced that it would cease printing the magazine. However, the company has continued to produce online content and merchandise allowing them to continue to dominate the market.
One thing that Playboy has become synonymous with over the years is EPIC Super Bowl parties! Especially in the great state of Arizona! Some of the best bunny bashes include Super Bowl XLII in 2008 and Playboy’s Super Bowl XLIX party in 2015 but thanks to Ludacris and T-Pain, Super Bowl LVII just might top them all!
Celebrities, bunnies, and guests dashed to W Scottsdale’s Cottontail Lounge for W Scottsdale’s W Super Weekend and saw an extraordinary performance from LUDA and co! Station 19’s Jason George hit the red carpet rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, NBA superstar Shawn Marion danced to Rihanna outside of the W lobby, while Love is Blind star Matt Barnett posed for photos next to Cookie Pop snacks.
In addition to colossal Super Bowl parties, the Playboy company has also been involved in various charitable and social causes over the years. It has supported organizations focused on issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, women’s health, and free speech. While the company’s image and focus have evolved over time, its legacy as a cultural icon and media pioneer is undeniable.
