Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Celebrates Its Grand Opening!

Posted on October 16, 2009

Even though its doors have been open for a little while now, the brand new Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas officially kicked off its presence on The Strip last night with a grand opening celebration to end all grand opening celebrations. In addition to an unforgettable live concert from Chris Cornell, the V.I.P. grand opening celebration included a star-studded red carpet and guitar smash, and appearances by Max Osceola of the Seminole Tribe of Florida (owners of Hard Rock International), Hamish Dodds (President and CEO of Hard Rock International), celebrities, professional athletes and more.

The stars were shining bright, with the likes of Holly Madison (our favorite girl next door), Aubrey O'Day, Chris Kirkpatrick, Vince Neil, and Robin Leach ("champagne wishes and caviar dreams") showing everyone that the newest Hard Rock Cafe definitely deserves its status as our new flagship cafe. 

The entire evening benefited Opportunity Village, a not-for-profit organization in the Las Vegas community that supports people with intellectual disabilities, to enhance their daily lives and the lives of their families through job training, employment opportunities, recreation and advocacy.

This new cafe is truly one-of-a-kind, full of amazing technology, and a destination for anyone who visits Las Vegas. We just wanted to officially welcome Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas into the fold. You all rock!
