Last years event was awesome. For the first party we ever sponsored, everything went fairly smoothly.
Some things to keep in mind if you decide to sponsor, just seeing some of the posts about the mess eroticafest was.
#1. Be prepared to make sure all your VIP's get taken care of by your own staff member(s). Shit happens at clubs. Give out someones cell # to all VIP's in case they have trouble at the door, getting up to VIP areas, etc. Make sure they are 21+ and bring ID. Also be prepared to fight battles w/ local security and know who to talk to do get shit straight if problems come up. D$ is great here, if something comes up he'll come lay the law down and it will get fixed - unlike other unamed folks here he makes himself readily available to sponsors and actually *works* the event. 
#2. Also be prepared to spend some cash on alchohol/etc. This should also be obvious, but for some reason isn't to some people. If you are going the private table route, I would also suggest you fly someone in locally a few months before the show and check out the venue, so you can pick the place where you and your guests would have the most fun. Some like it quieter and further away, some like good view and noisy, etc. Make sure shit fits for your style. Don't simply go and expect to "be entertained" - sponsoring is also taking on the role of entertainer for your private crew until the main acts start. Have a bunch of people you get along with, and you will have a blast here.
Otherwise, quite honestly D$ takes care of the rest. He's the only guy I'd EVER trust in this business to run a party w/ our name attached. He took care of us proper last year, we were total newbs at the game, and most of us are geeks that sit at home all day.
I vote for snoop, and of course some spinning by the adult DJ legend YTcracker baby! Not sure if we'll be sponsoring this year, but this would be the only event we'd even consider. So for you smaller folks like us, sit up and take notice of getting on the bandwagon early - after the success of last years party, sponsorships will likely go quick!
Peace,
-Phil
