The event was not just a showcase of luxury and entertainment but also a reunion of old friends. “It’s always a great time with you @kimkardashian,” Ivanka wrote on an Instagram Story post featuring the two of them at the grand opening. The duo, who have known each other for years, appeared to be enjoying the evening together.

Before the concert, Ivanka Trump made a grand entrance on the red carpet, escorted by entrepreneur David Grutman. She later joined Kardashian and Kendall Jenner to enjoy Timberlake’s surprise performance, which captivated the audience and added a memorable highlight to the night.

Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump have a history of working together on significant social issues. In September 2018, they collaborated on a discussion about prison reform. The meeting, led by former President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, focused on reviewing the clemency process and advocating for systemic change in the criminal justice system.

Kardashian shared her commitment to prison reform on social media, emphasizing the need for broader changes. “It started with Ms. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I’ve met inside prisons I knew I couldn’t stop at just one. It’s time for REAL systemic change,” she wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), referencing her successful petition to commute the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender.

Ivanka Trump also highlighted their collaboration, sharing photos from their meeting and expressing her dedication to improving the clemency process. “Great working session today at the White House on ways to improve the clemency process with policy leaders and criminal justice reform advocates,” she wrote, a sentiment that was retweeted by Kardashian.

The grand opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas was not just an event of glitz and glamour but also a testament to the enduring friendship and shared commitment to social causes between Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump.
