Valley man wins Vegas trip, meets Brooke Burke
Nightlife notes
Sept. 11, 2003

Phoenix resident Darrell Smith is one lucky guy. He recently came back from a trip (over Labor Day weekend) where he mingled with E! Entertainment television goddess Brooke Burke. Smith, 44, won the trip when he entered a contest at the Yeti's Nest Golf Tournament at the Tournament Players Club of Scottsdale.

I was offered to have my drinks paid for all night or a trip for two to Las Vegas to see Brooke Burke, so I took the trip, he says.

Smith says his weekend in Vegas was an absolute blast. During the three- day trip, Smith and his friend watched a performance by the Blue Man Group and hit a bunch of clubs where they were treated like rock stars.

We got to go to the VIP areas, he says. We didn't stand in a single line. I really felt like a celebrity. I'm spoiled now.

Smith says he especially enjoyed meeting Burke. She is absolutely hands down one of the most beautiful people I have ever met in my life and she's absolutely charming. She's as pleasant as they come.
