Look for a lot of cash to change hands–and a whole lot of “non-family-style” hard partying to happen–when DFW hosts the NBA All-Star Game Feb. 14. Last night on WFAA-TV, Dale Hansen predicted lines around the block at local strip clubs next month, for example. We’ve heard that Realtors are scrambling to locate super-luxe party houses in non-residential areas–quick freeway access preferred–for short-term rental to celebs and fans that weekend. Dallas Craigslist is going wild listing special All-Star game rentals ($3,500 a night for a two-bedroom condo in Oak Lawn, $2,250 for a four-bedroom “contemporary,” $2,000 for a one-bedroom downtown, etc.). And the owner of one local town-car outfit says to expect a going rate of $1,500/day for “small” limos during the festivities.
