There were a few teething issues, but Jay-Z's new 40/40 club is now open for business. And there to help celebrate the grand opening was none other but the rap mogul's stunning girlfriend Beyonce Knowles. Bey arrived with her younger sister Solange and the two made for quite a sight on the red carpet. An onlooker said: "Beyonce and Solange lit up the room." The big man himself arrived in style, wearing a fitted three-piece suit with cool shades to complete the look. Reports had suggested the Las Vegas club may not be open in time for New Year's Eve due to licensing issues, but Jay-Z pulled out all the stops and made sure this year gets off with a bang. The night was capped off with a birthday song for Cleveland Cavaliers player, Lebron James.
