We summarize the results of some of the latest NIR/sub-millimeter/X-ray observing campaigns. Those include the latest simultaneous observations as well as the most recent results from VLT NACO observations of polarized NIR, flare emission of Sgr A*. We interpret the new NIR, polarimetry results using a model in which spots are on relativistic orbits around Sgr A*, which is associated with the massive 3.6 million solar mass black hole at the Galactic Center. In the NIR, the observations have been carried out using the NACO adaptive optics (AO) instrument at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. In the X-ray and radio domains we used the ACIS-I instrument aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Submillimeter Array on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, as well as the Very Large Array in New Mexico, respectively.
