Most college students claim to study beer drinking, but at UNLV they actually do.
Now the rest of the city can contribute to this food and beverage education with the second "Rock and Brew," from the UNLV Beverage Club. It runs from 6:30 to 10 p.m. May 11 at the Hard Rock Cafe.
More than 1,000 people are expected to sample more than 60 beers at the outdoor Breathe Pool and the Up Top Lounge. In addition to beer and barbecue, patrons will hear music from Play for Keeps and Summit Grove, along with DJs Sousay and Michael Uriarte.
Sponsors of the event include our sister publication, Las Vegas Weekly, Yelp and the Vegas Beverage Group.
Tickets are $20 and available online.
Proceeds from the event go to the UNLV Beverage Club, which helps teach students at the Harrah's Hotel College aspects of the beverage industry they will need in hospitality careers.
Hard Rock Cafe Built in 1990, at the corner of Rock and Roll, stands the original Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas. Featuring the classic Hard Rock design with the famous Center Bar, this legendary cafe is home to several coveted pieces of rock history including KISS, Michael Jackson, The Rat Pack, and our very own Elvis Wall highlighting memorabilia from the King himself. The cafe is conveniently located in front of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on the corner of Paradise and Harmon, just 1.2 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip.
The single story Hard Rock Cafe can accommodate over 250 guests for a seated event or up to 400 guests for a reception style function. 35 flat-screen TV monitors throughout the venue invite guests to rock out to a contemporary & classic collection of music videos. For private events, a select number of plasma screens offer the perfect branding opportunity. A full patio outside presents a great space for red carpet entry, photo opportunities, and/or cocktails. 3771 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Suite 120 Las Vegas,
