HEADLINE: Mötley Crüe’s Vince
Neil Goes All In For A Good Cause
Body:
Vince Neil's 2nd Annual Off The Strip Poker Tournament.
The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas will host Vince Neil's
Second Annual Off The Strip Poker
Tournament inside The Joint on Sunday, November 5, 2006. Celebrities,
Poker Pros and Las Vegas’ hottest dancers will join Neil
for a wildly entertaining evening. Last year’s tournament
raised more than $170,000 to benefit the T.J. Martell Foundation,
an organization which has raised more than $215 million to support
innovative cancer, leukemia, and AIDS research.
Seating for the no-limit Texas hold 'em tournament is limited
to the first 150 entrants. The tournament buy-in is $500, plus
a $50 entry fee. Re-buys and an add-on will be offered during
play. Players will vie for a guaranteed cash prize pool of $50,000,
and payouts will be made to the final table of ten.
Tournament participants and members of the public are invited
to visit The Joint throughout the day to bid on an amazing collection
of unique memorabilia from the worlds of music, sports and entertainment,
up for silent auction. Beginning at 3:00pm, Vince Neil will host
a special cocktail, followed by a one-of a kind live charity auction,
hosted by Tiffany Granath, host of Playboy and Sirius Radio's
Afternoon Advice. Tournament play will then commence at 4:00pm.
All proceeds from the poker
tournament and charity auctions will benefit the T.J. Martell
Foundation via the Skylar Neil Foundation, established in 1995
by Vince to honor his daughter who passed away from cancer. Since
that time, Vince’s charitable efforts have helped raise
over one million dollars for the T.J. Martell Foundation. This
year’s confirmed sponsors include Eagle Warranty Corp.,
Counts Kustoms Las Vegas Choppers, Red Bull, Steve Ruthenbeck,
Howard Schlick, Las Vegas Golfer Magazine and The Small Town Poker
Tour.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Contact The
Joint Box Office at 702-693-5000.
