A nonstop celebrity entertainment lineup is set with Riviera headliner Charo, Rio headliners Penn & Teller, Flamingo headliner Nathan Burton and impersonator Frank Marino for tomorrow’s 23rd Annual Black & White poolside party. The unique event at the Hard Rock Hotel raises money for Aid for AIDS of Nevada in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Pepper MaShay, the singer best known for her hit “Dive in the Pool” (“Let’s get soaking wet!”) featured on Showtime’s Queer as Folk, and the sexy dancers of X Burlesque from the Flamingo and The Men of X from Hooters are scheduled to perform. Additionally, there will be synchronized swimmers and mermaids, fire dancers and flamethrowers!

The Hard Rock’s Beach Club will be transformed into a black and white paradise for the event. Guests will be able to enjoy taste treats from the casino hotel chefs at Ago, Rare 120 and Pink Taco, along with chefs from P.F. Chang’s, Sushi Roku, BOA Steakhouse, The Cupcakery and more.

Check back to Vegas DeLuxe on Monday for coverage of this amazing annual event.
