I personally saw Dale Murphy walking the show floor.

I did not see but was told by multiple people that Steve Aoki was there on Wednesday. Was also told that Adam Sandler was there on Thursday.

Saw pictures of Rene and Casey from Storage Wars walking the floor each day, lol.

Also saw pictures on Twitter of Gary Vee walking around with Marshawn Lynch and Ed Reed.
