I attended a New Year’s Eve gala produced by Kevin Larson Presents at the Ritz-Carlton. While the event itself was enjoyable, my experience was impacted by an issue with coat check, and one of my items was not returned. The team has since reimbursed me for the missing item, which I appreciate.
Overall, the event was well-executed, but I hope future events improve coordination around guest belongings.
I really wanted to love Naughty Ball, but I left feeling underwhelmed.
For a kink-themed event, I expected more in terms of tastings, demonstrations, and interactive shows. There didn’t seem to be much happening on that front, which was disappointing considering that’s a big part of the draw for events like this.
The music also felt like it was running off a playlist rather than being curated in response to the crowd’s energy. It would have helped to have a DJ who could adjust the vibe and flow as the night went on.
Drink prices were on the higher side, and the bar service seemed overwhelmed at times, especially when large groups came in. At one point, there was only one bartender on the middle floor, though someone did come to assist eventually.
Overall, the event felt a bit chaotic and didn’t quite deliver on the experience level I expected for the ticket price. My friend who purchased VIP access also felt it wasn’t worth the additional cost, as there didn’t seem to be much extra value provided for that tier. I'm also not a fan of gender-specific pricing. Just as an FYI I am female.
I think with more structure, live crowd engagement, and better logistical support, Naughty Ball could really become something special.
Been coming last 5 years and seen a decline every year.
Performances? so extremely underwhelming.
entertainment? very poor.
what are we paying the large fee for?
All in all, really nothing enticing, event would need to change dramatically to addend again.
Kevin puts on the most amazing events! The NYE 2024-2025 White Rose Gala was incredible! The event spanned across one of the Ritz-Carlton’s entire floor. There were various rooms with different types of entertainment and every guest my wife and I met were friendly, fun, and excited to be at the gala! The roaming photographers were super cool too! We are excited to go again!
These are the best events in Denver, hands down. Naughty Ball, Halloween, and Mardi Gras are my favs and can’t wait for this year!
I went to both the New Year’s Day and Halloween events last year hosted by Kevin Larson Presents, and both were absolutely incredible! The energy, the production, and the attention to detail were next-level. The Halloween party especially stood out—amazing costumes, awesome entertainment, and such a fun crowd.
If you’re looking for unique, well-organized events that really deliver a full experience (not just a typical party), I highly recommend checking them out. Can’t wait to go again!
Top-tier events every time! Kevin Larson Presents knows how to bring the people, the vibe, and the magic ✨ NYE, Halloween, Derby (and more) are SURE to have you in your best party mood 😊
I've been to several Kevin Larson experiential events and now have lifelong memories. I think the funnest was the naughty ball; it was really good for me to open up, get out of my comfort zone, meet some new people and have tons of fun. Can't wait for my next one...
KLP is the best. Amazing decor. Extraordinary performers. 5-Star events. Kevin’s creativity and experience are world class.
