Outrageous! Dance Party, Bar Crawl & Social Happenings

Friday Night: Biggest Little City Bar Crawl

Don't wander around Reno looking for the fun--get right to the action! Join the many locals and out of town guests as we climb aboard the Party Buses for a tour of Reno's bars and clubs. Stops along the way will include: Carl's Pub, 1099 Club, The 5 Star Saloon, and the Sands Regency Hotel and Casino! Each stop will have exclusive rodeo entertainment and specials. And of course, it wouldn't be a party bus without a party on-board--each bus will have a fabulous host/hostess. The bus departs the Grand Sierra Resort at 9:30 pm sharp. Returning at 2:00 am. The cost for the bus is only $10/person (certainly cheaper than cab fare would be for the night... and a whole lot more fun!) Seats are still available on the party bus! Buy your ticket for only $10 at the HSRA Mercantile.

Saturday Night: Outrageous! Dance Party

On Saturday Night, the Grand Sierra Resort's Grand Ballroom will be transformed into the hotest nightspot for an Outrageous! Dance Party. The Party begins immediately following the Royalty competition (10PM). The Grand Ballroom has a capacity of 10,000 people and boasts a professional concert sound system. Music will be spun by the fabulous DJ Rosa and Sundance DJs. With "Rated-R" contests and no last call until the party ends (it is Nevada), this will be the event to kick up your heels!

Ticket proceeds from this event support the Word and Mouth Youth Committee’s fundraising efforts for cancer research. Entry is $20.00, with tickets available to purchase at the door or online. Remember, the best ticket deal is the *Finals Rodeo Special Ticket Package*, which includes saturday and sunday rodeo entrance tickets and the dance ticket for only $35. Buy your ticket at the HSRA Mercantile. Outrageous! is proudly produced in conjunction with the Reno-Sparks Convention Visitors Authority.
