Jeezy’s orchestral show on the Strip is a slam dunk. LeBron James only reinforced that fact Saturday night.

The NBA legend brought the hardware, in the form of the Key to the Las Vegas Strip, as the rap superstar closed the sold-out run of his “Legend of the Snowman” symphonic production at PH Live. Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II presented the showman born Jay Jenkins with the key and a proclamation naming Aug. 22 for Jeezy and his “Snowman” show.

Just after the show and ceremony, Jeezy announced the final nine dates of the triumphant residency, including Dec. 30 and New Year’s Eve. Leading to the year-ending celebration, the show is back Nov. 6-7, Nov. 13-14, and Dec. 18-19.

Tickets are on sale 10 a.m. PT Wednesday, with artist presale on now. Go to legendofthesnowman.com for intel.

At 30 dates, “Snowman” is the longest running hip-hop show ever in Las Vegas. The “Snowman” is a moniker dating to Jeezy’s days as a drug dealer. Throughout the run, Jeezy has been backed by the Color of Noize Orchestra, composed and conducted by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning Derrick Hodge, with a live band musically directed by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning Adam Blackstone.

The innovative stage show is the rare Strip residency with a black-tie dress code.

James adhered to the full-tux directive. The four-time NBA champ was not the only star to take the stage Saturday. Hip-hop icon Master P made an unbilled appearance, leading to a reported “frenzy.” The No Limit founder joins such recording stars as Usher, YG, 2 Chainz, Bun B, Yung Miami and Fabolous to join Jeezy at the Planet Hollywood theater.

The 48-year-old Jeezy performed a version of the show, dubbed “TM:101 Live,” in November and December. The show was a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Jeezy’s “Thug Motivation 101” release of 2005.

During the Nov. 1 opening, the production and headliner were awarded the Guinness World Record for presenting the largest orchestra ever for a hip-hop concert.

From the stage, the headliner said. “This isn’t just a win for me — it’s a moment for the culture, for music, and for Vegas. Thank you to every musician, every fan, and everyone who believed we could take this all the way. A winner is a dreamer who never gave up!”
