After the*NSYNCmember took the stage, he and Biel headed toFontainebleau’sLIV nightclub, where they held court behind the DJ booth and celebrated the successful show late into the night.
Earlier this year John Summit was announced as the first resident DJ of the iconic club. “I was an accountant full-time and so going from that to my dream, which was just to be able to play out of state, to now a Vegas residency [is amazing],” he tells PEOPLE.
Looking back on his journey to Vegas, “I feel like I’m living in a multi-verse,” he adds. Despite his breakneck schedule (in the last few weeks Summit has jetted from Miami to Vegas to L.A. for shows), “I’m having so much fun onstage [that I’m not tired],” he adds. “I’ll sleep on the plane — and I could sleep standing up.”
The luxury hotel also features a 3,800-capacity BleauLive Theater, a 150,000-square-foot casino, a retail district, dining options and more.
It officially opens its doors to the public on Thursday — nearly two decades after the sister property to the iconic Fontainebleau Miami was first announced.
