Guests who sing a complete song will receive a free dinner entrĂ©e from Hard Rock’s new menu.

Starting in April 2014, Hard Rock Cafe locations across the United States and Europe began serving a host of new offerings and updated fan favorites to more than 92 million guests across the brand that enter its doors each year. The brand surveyed more than 3,000 guests in cafes across 14 cities around the world to collect feedback on nearly 100 items from its existing and redesigned test menus. The research, conducted by Cohen Research Group, included a side by side comparison of current menu items and modified versions – taking into consideration variations of items like bun texture, burger patty blends, French fry cut and more. The process resulted in the addition of 30 new items and the modification of 28 existing menu items.

Hard Rock Cafe’s new and improved menu features Hard Rock’s authentic American, made-from-scratch cuisine, a commitment to fresh ingredients and the signature flair that guests can only get at Hard Rock.

New Exhibit Featuring Las Vegas Lawman Ralph Lamb Will Open At The Mob Museum

Ralph Lamb, arguably Las Vegas’ most legendary law enforcement figure, will be celebrated with  a new exhibition, The Cowboy Sheriff, at The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. Lamb will join Museum officials and tourism industry representatives in inaugurating the exhibition at a press conference on Tuesday, May 6, preceding the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s annual National Travel and Tourism Week rally, to be held on the Museum’s front steps that day at 3:45 p.m. 

Objects on display will include historic photographs, a belt buckle, handcuffs, a Colt .38 revolver, Lamb’s cowboy hat, boots, a Winchester .30-30 rifle, an award medallion, a custom bridle bit  and a saddle. Items have been loaned to the Museum by the Metro Museum as well as Lamb and private collectors.
From 1961-1979, Sheriff Ralph Lamb enforced the law in Las Vegas, a city teeming with organized crime. Having grown up on a ranch in rural Nevada, Lamb brought an old-school approach to the job. He was not above getting physical with hoodlums to make sure they followed the rules.
Lamb developed an extensive network of tipsters who let him know when gangsters were in town. Los Angeles Mob boss Johnny Rosselli was among those who received a dose of the sheriff’s frontier justice. In 1966, Lamb let Rosselli know who was in charge by roughing him up in a crowded casino and throwing him in jail.

When Lamb learned that a planeload of reputed mobsters was flying in from Kansas City, he and his deputies detained the group at the airport and sent them home.
Although Lamb was known as “the Cowboy Sheriff,” the community’s first modern crime lab and SWAT team were established during his watch. He also led the effort to merge the Las Vegas Police Department and Clark County Sheriff’s Department in 1973, creating the current Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

In 1984, Lamb joined a high-powered group of Las Vegas leaders who bid to move the annual National Finals Rodeo from Oklahoma City to Las Vegas. The competition has been held here ever since.
Ralph Lamb’s legendary 18-year tenure as Clark County sheriff inspired the 2012-13 television drama, “Vegas,” starring Dennis Quaid.

Artifacts After Hours
On Thursday, May 8, from 7–9 p.m., the Museum will present “Artifacts After Hours,” a Museum Members-only presentation series designed to give members an inside look at the Museum’s extraordinary collection. At this event, Museum staff will lead a presentation about Sheriff Lamb and The Cowboy Sheriff exhibition. The event is free for Members and $5 for their guest (one guest per member, please).
For general information about the Museum, its exhibitions, special programming, event rentals and admission, please call (702) 229-2734 or visit www.TheMobMuseum.org.

Drai's Will Be HOT! New Beach Club Opening On Memorial Week-End

Drais Under Construction
In a city known for setting the standard for spectacular pools and parties, the bar is about to be raised even higher (literally) this summer with the opening of Drai’s Beach Club in Las Vegas, perched 11 stories above the Strip atop The Cromwell.  With unobstructed views of Las Vegas Blvd. and never-ending sunshine on two levels, the 35,000 square foot Drai’s Beach Club is both an architectural and visual wonder featuring a 360-degree experience with multiple pools, tantalizing cocktails, renowned DJs, VIP luxury cabanas and top-of-the-line gourmet food.  Adding to the already spectacular scenery are ten, 35-foot palm trees (which were recently hoisted by crane to the roof above) which will offer guests ample shade when desired.

The wow factor for hotel guests begins the minute they disembark from the hotel’s elevator where they will be met with never-before-seen views emanating from the corner of Flamingo and Las Vegas Blvd. The sparkling new pools are the highlight of the expansive rooftop venue, but the pools share equal billing with the unique vantage point overlooking Caesars Palace and the Bellagio fountains to the west, Bally’s and the Las Vegas Strip to the south and the impressive row of hotels to the north.  Located directly above Las Vegas Blvd., Drai’s Beach Club will also be home to an endless day of sun – never disappearing behind hotel towers or buildings. While there are countless perks for staying at The Cromwell, having exclusive guest access to the city’s most splash-worthy new pools is going to be top of the list.
 
Drais Depiction
Split into two levels, Drai’s Beach Club is designed to be sexy, sophisticated and most importantly, social.  No feature or guest amenity has been forgotten and the Beach Club will cater to every level of pool reveler:

• Two lower level main pools
• Central wet deck and perimeter seating
• 40 poolside day beds
• Nine exclusive VIP Bungalows sharing five elevated pools
• 15 luxury mezzanine level cabanas with private pool with private shower/restroom
• Two full bars
• Elevated DJ booth
• Ten 35-foot natural palm trees
• Unobstructed sunlight and views
• Drai’s unparalleled service

“I’ve been dreaming of building a day/night club for the past 15 years,” explains Victor Drai.  “With the creation of The Cromwell, the opportunity finally arrived to make my dream a reality.  The Beach Club and pools at Drai’s Beach Club will be like nothing that exists in Las Vegas.  The size, scope and attention to detail, design and guest experience has driven our concept.  I always build my venues so that there is a ‘wow’ factor from the minute you arrive. When a guest steps off the elevator, they are going to marvel at what we have built and the never before-seen-view will provide an unforgettable experience.”

Drai’s Beach Club is located on the roof at The Cromwell, the Strip’s first stand-alone boutique hotel and casino. Hotel guests of The Cromwell will enjoy the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind rooftop pool daily from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. The unique pool experience becomes Drai’s Beach Club Friday – Sunday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and transforms into Drai’s Nightclub Thursday – Sunday at 10 p.m. 

Drai’s Beach Club • Nightclub is set to open Memorial Weekend 2014.  For more information, follow Drai’s at Facebook at www.facebook.com/draislv, Twitter at www.twitter.com/draislv and Instagram @draislv.

Attention Libertarians In Nevada! Volunteer Fair & Open House Info!

Volunteer Fair and Open House

Dear Libertarians and Friends of Liberty,

It’s time to assemble Team Liberty and take Nevada back! Over the last decade we saw what happens when we sit back and don't get involved; Politicians drive Nevada further in debt, they impose more regulations and take away our freedoms.

If you don’t help grow the Libertarian Party, you have no voice and you don’t matter. And we are just as ignorant as the Democrats and Republicans say we are as they take away our freedoms, trample on our Civil Liberties and steal every dollar out of our pocket saying “thank you please!”

It’s up to YOU to tell the politicians enough!

It’s up to YOU and me and the Libertarian Party to stand up and fight for Nevada!

The 2 Party system is broken; there have been both Republicans and Democrats in power and there is no difference! The Libertarian Party is the only Party who can save Nevada and get her back on track. If we don't get involved, we are guilty of what the other 2 parties accuse us of; being ineffective and the only thing we will ever amount to being is a spoiler in elections.

Join us to make a stand against the 2 party system. The Libertarian Party of Nevada (LPNevada) is hosting our first Volunteer Fair and Open house at our headquarters in Las Vegas. Meet Libertarian leaders and activist who leading the way for Liberty in Nevada. The purpose of this event is to get people like you involved in growing the Libertarian Party. We will discuss the new Divisional Structure, go over each Division and the opportunities available in each Division.

Are you concerned with the direction Nevada is heading?

So are we, stop by these events and learn about all the amazing opportunities available to build the Libertarian Party and get Nevada back on track! LPNevada is recruiting leaders and activist for all Divisions. Prior to the Volunteer Fair and Open House, you can view our website (www.lpnevada.org) and check out these links:

· Divisions: Visit lpnevada.org/about/divisions to learn about our Divisions.

· Help Wanted: Visit lpnevada.org/help to view some of the opportunities available.

The Libertarian Party of Nevada will provide complimentary refreshments and snacks. We are hosting three events initially so hopefully you can attend one without a scheduling conflict. These events are informal so you can mix and mingle and ask us questions. The events coincide with National Volunteer Week and are being held on:

· Thursday, April 10, 2014 - 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

· Friday, April 11, 2014 – 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

· Sunday, April 13, 2014 - 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Whether you can donate 1 hour a month, 30 hours a week or if you would just like to check out our office, I would like you to stop by so we can share our ideas with you. There are many productive things you can do to help the Party and our Candidates. One of my favorite quotes is from Edmund Burke, he said “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”

Liberty does continue and with your help we can re-engage the R3VOLUTION, thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
