The theme for this year's annual Black & White Party will be "A New Orleans Soiree."
The annual fundraiser for Aid for AIDS of Nevada is set for Aug. 19 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. This will be the 31st year for the event.
Hosted by "the Duchess of Decadence" Norma Llyaman, the highly anticipated event will feature avant garde (and barely there) fashions, performances from top entertainers, savory food & beverage offerings, and exciting silent auction items.
Marco and Joanna from iHeart Radio Sunny 106.5 will host a VIP reception from 7-9 p.m. with performances from Pia Zadora, Michelle Johnson, and East Side Riot.
Performers during the main event include DJ Axis, Melody Sweets from the "Absinthe" show, Human Nature, BAZ, Frank Marino's Divas, Culture Shock and acrobats Scott and TJ Stuffs.
Fantastic silent auction items will be up for bid including a hotel and spa package at Waldorf Astoria Orlando, tickets to Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Cher, Cirque du Soleil shows, other luxury gift baskets, staycation packages, and beauty products.
