LAKE TAHOE — Rap legends Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube will be in the house at MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa, Saturday, July 17, making for a dynamic celebrity-filled week at Lake Tahoe, with the apex of the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament.
Known for his ultra-smooth, laidback raps and melodic rhyming, Snoop Dogg delivers iconic “double speak” lingo – adding “izzle” to his music. His success has spanned the last two decades in the rap music industry with multiple platinum albums, including hits like “Gin and Juice,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Signs” and “Beautiful.” Snoop’s career has led to a formidable television presence, with shows including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood and Dogg After Dark. He’s additionally appeared in films including "Training Day," "Old School," "Bruno," "Starsky & Hutch" and "The Boondocks."
Ice Cube will bust out hits like “It Was a Good Day” and “Check Your Self.” His solo career in music launched after leaving the rap group N.W.A — comprised of Dr. Dre, the late Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella — in 1989. He’s also been a successful actor, screenwriter and producer; highlights of his acting career include "Boyz in the Hood," "Three Kings," "Next Friday," "BarberShop" and "Are We There Yet?"
Snoop and Ice Cube’s performance coincides with the American Century Championship. Lake Tahoe’s annual celebrity golf tournament turns 21 this year, just in time to party with Snoop. MontBleu offers golf packages, giving guests a choice of 20 top courses in the Sierra at Edgewood Tahoe, Old Greenwood, Resort at Squaw Creek, Genoa Lakes and the Resort at Red Hawk.
