Adam Levine, Superyachts & More: Galveston's Biggest Mardi Gras Bash Ever

TEXANS WERE READY to party Mardi in 2022. The Fertitta family’s 25th annual San Luis Salute was its most-attended ever, with 2,000 tickets purchased within just a couple hours — and that was before the announcement that Maroon 5 would be giving a private, hour-long performance at the gala.


The San Luis Salute kicked off with a pre-party on the pier where Tilman Feritta’s new superyacht is docked. Black-tie-clad VIPs sipped Veuve and Adam Levine’s tequila, Calirosa.

Under a chandelier-bedecked tent before making their way to the Galveston Island Convention Center for the main event.

The evening was French-kissed, with a “Cabaret in Paris” theme carried out by Richard Flowers and the Events Co.: Cocktail hour took place among an arrangement made to look like a Parisian street café, all set to a soundtrack of “La Vie en Rose.” And dinner — filet mignon au poivre, gruyere mashed potatoes — was preceded by a mouthwatering charcuterie spread, of course.

Then came the true crowd-pleaser: Maroon 5 took the stage for a full hour, cranking out hit after hit as revelers packed the dance floor.

Spotted at the Salute: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Neil and Maria Bush, UH’s Renu Khator, Dancie Ware, Frances Moody Buzbee and the whole Fertitta fam.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
