It’s not much of a gamble to think that, when Justin Timberlake [ tickets ] gets behind a cause, he will bring some big names to the table. Proof positive: the second annual “Justin Timberlake & Friends Concert” last Saturday night (10/17) at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

In addition to Timberlake, the gig--proceeds from which benefited the Shriners Hospitals for Children--also featured Snoop Dogg [ tickets ], Taylor Swift [ tickets ], Alicia Keys [ tickets ], TLC [ tickets ], Timbaland [ tickets ], Ciara [ tickets ] and Jay Sean [ tickets ]. Timberlake, who planned to act as emcee until the finale, couldn’t say “no” when Snoop invited him to perform “Signs,” saying, "Since my homeboy Justin asked me to come out here tonight, I'm gonna ask him to come out right now."

All in all, the concert lasted nearly 3 hours, capped off by Timberlake closing the show with a performance of "Until the End of Time." LiveDaily photographer Valerie Nerres was there with her camera and captured these shots.
