Playboy's "Carnival Mystique" Promises to Entertain and Excite Partygoers During Pro Football's Biggest Weekend

CHICAGO, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Playboy's "Carnival Mystique" will take partygoers on an exotic journey underneath the big top, and promises to be one of the most exciting and enticing parties in Indianapolis during Super Bowl weekend.  The enthralling allure of a vintage French circus meets the seduction of a Parisian cabaret at this elegant soiree, and the surroundings will be replete with sumptuous fabrics, luxurious furnishings and visual delights of all sorts.  The carnival will come alive with soaring aerialists, who will be lithely careening overhead, and beautiful dancers, whose sensual moves will enchant the crowd.

The exclusive event will be held at the Bud Light Hotel (located at 105 South Meridian Street in the heart of downtown Indianapolis) on Friday, February 3, 2012, beginning at 9 p.m.  At "Carnival Mystique," celebrities, athletes and VIP guests will mingle alongside 16 beautiful Playboy Playmates and will enjoy live performances by R&B superstar Ne-Yo as well as DJ Reach and DJ Jessica Who.  It promises to be one of the hottest parties in Indy.

"Playboy's unique, upscale event will take partygoers on an exciting, unmatched journey through the re-imagined world of Playboy," said Chief Marketing Officer Kristin Patrick.  "We look forward to thoroughly entertaining our guests underneath the big top."

The party is sponsored by Bud Light, PlayStation and MINI USA, and guests will be invited to enjoy Bud Light beverages throughout the night.  Partygoers will have the opportunity to test out Sony Computer Entertainment's brand new portable gaming system PlayStation® Vita (PS Vita), before it launches on February 22.  In the interactive gaming lounge, Playboy's resident gamer Jo Garcia will show off her gaming skills on the PS Vita's best in class features and introduce guests to the rich gaming experience and social connectivity only available from PlayStation.  Guests can also take a peek at the new, two-seater MINI Roadster.  Keeping with the theme of the night, one MINI Roadster will be part of a peep show display surrounded by shadow dancers, and the other will be placed in the crowd, enabling people to get up close and check out its alluring features.

Last year's Playboy party in Dallas featured performances by Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Flo Rida.  Celebrities, musicians and athletes in attendance at previous events include Kanye West, Usher, Maria Menounos, Bradley Cooper, Aubrey O'Day, Jeremy Piven, Adrian Grenier, Dave Annable, Gabrielle Union, Mark Salling and Tony Romo.
