Friday night, Love Universe, a lifestyle jewelry collection, held a launch party at Tao at the Venetian. Actress Rosario Dawson hosted the exclusive cocktail reception, and model Linda Vojtova and jewelry designer Genevieve Jones were on hand to present their own Love Universe branded collections. The night also spotlighted Love Pledge, which encourages citizens of the world to commit 1 percent of their annual earnings and 1 percent of their annual time to philanthropic causes and charitable organizations of their choice.

Dawson wore Love Universe bracelets pieces in honor of her grandmother, who just passed away. She shared how generous she was and that she was dedicating her Love Pledge to her grandmother.

After dining in Tao’s private dining room, Dawson and the Love Universe team took over the skyboxes in the nightclub and later Dawson and her girlfriends headed down to dance on the catwalk to the sounds of DJ Reach, who made sure to give her a shout out.

At Lavo at the Palazzo, Joan Rivers and her family were spotted dining on lobster risotto, tuna tartare and truffle pizza.
