The excitement of MJBizCon 2024 reached new heights on December 4th with The James Bong: Cannabis Royale – a night that blended high-stakes glamor, unforgettable entertainment, and the cannabis industry’s most influential players. !
Hosted at a vintage-chic venue in Downtown Las Vegas, this exclusive event delivered on every promise of intrigue, sophistication, and luxury. Building on our reputation for hosting memorable MJBizCon events like the Prohibition Party (2019) and the Back to the 80s Party (2022), we raised the bar yet again with The James Bong: Cannabis Royale. This year’s party wowed attendees with unexpected thrills, world-class entertainment, and a captivating environment that brought the suspense and style of a Bond film to life.
With over 500 cannabis retail decision-makers and industry influencers in attendance, the night was far more than just an exchange of business cards. It was about forging lasting connections and partnerships that will shape the future of cannabis.
Bond-Inspired Vibes Beneath the Stars
Guests were transported into the world of Casino Royale, greeted by a red carpet lined with sleek tuxedos and shimmering gowns. In the outdoor space, industry leaders gathered around cozy firepits in intimate consumption areas, relaxing under the Vegas night sky. For foodies, a gourmet pizza food truck delivered the perfect bite, while early arrivals were treated to exclusive goody bags packed with premium cannabis products and branded swag.
No Bond-inspired event would be complete without a fast car, and the Solink-branded Aston Martin parked at the entrance was an instant showstopper—sleek, powerful, and undeniably iconic. The outdoor area also featured product samplings from Green Elevator Cannabis and a Carrot-branded shots bar that kept the energy buzzing. Guests also explored the Spenser kiosk, captured fun moments at the 360-photo booth, and in an unexpected twist, were given the rare opportunity to feed alpacas—a surprise even Bond wouldn’t have predicted!
Inside the Action: Casino Glam, Thrilling Entertainment, and Networking Gold
The fun continued inside with multiple open bars and a munchie table that kept guests fueled throughout the night. An iconic 420 James Bong ice sculpture at the main bar became a memorable photo opportunity, adding a touch of Bond-inspired flair to the evening. Clips from classic Bond films and other spy thrillers were projected on the walls, providing the perfect backdrop for the night’s entertainment.
The energy kicked up a notch with a live band, while the incredible Tonya Kay, one of only five women in the world who performs in the legendary giant champagne glass, mesmerized the audience with her unforgettable acrobatic show. Burlesque dances further engaged the crowd, adding an extra layer of entertainment and intrigue to the evening.
In addition to live performances, the indoor photo wall also became a lively hotspot, with guests eagerly snapping photos with old and new connections alike. For a fun break from the action, guests tried their luck in the WECO-branded gaming room, which was buzzing with casino tables and video games. Meanwhile, Noble Labs’ cannabis seltzer bar kept drinks flowing and the good vibes alive. Things got even more exciting when cannabis influencer Thunder Walker made her grand entrance, mingling with fans, posing for photos, and soaking in all the captivating experiences the night had to offer.
