Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Hosts 3rd Annual Pinktober Rock N Roll Fashion Show Oct. 1

Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas brings together musicians and fans for the 2011 PINKTOBER campaign – supporting a cause that affects millions across the globe. On Saturday, October 1, 2011, Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Strip will host the 3rd annual PINKTOBER Rock n Roll Fashion show with a special performance by American Idol’s Elliott Yamin.

Join Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas as they cut the pink ribbon and declare by formal proclamation, October 1 as Hard Rock Cafe’s Pinktober Day in Las Vegas.  This event, which is being co-sponsored with 97.1 The Point, will feature cancer survivors walking the runway with local celebrities showing off the latest fashions.

Hosting the event will be Recycled Percussion’s Justin Spencer, FOX 5’s Dave Hall and 97.1 The Point’s Steph MacKenzie. The event will also feature drink specials, prizes and a silent auction. Included in the silent auction is a one-of-a-kind pink Fender guitar signed by various musicians donated by Carrot Top, and a rare Michael Godard breast cancer tribute piece. Proceeds from the event will benefit American Cancer Society.

For the 12th year, Hard Rock locations worldwide support the cause through the multifaceted PINKTOBER campaign. Get spotted at your local Hard Rock partying for PINK, while listening to the sounds of rising stars at live-music events, benefiting local breast cancer organizations. Or be seen sipping Hard Rock’s non-alcoholic PINK drinks and dining on PINK menu offerings at Hard Rock Cafe locations throughout the month.

Additional offerings include the 2011 PINKTOBER T-shirt, robe, PINK sheets, pin and more.
