Kandy Vegas Labor Day Weekend at Hard Rock Hotel

Paradise Pool transforms into the official Kandy Vegas playground on Saturday, Sept. 1. The evening’s headlining performance features Chris Brown, best known for collaborations with hip-hop’s top talent including Lil’ Wayne and Busta Rhymes and for hits such as “With You,” “Wall to Wall” and “Deuces.” The massive ultra-lounge destination features a sea of colorful furnishings, kaleidoscope décor, stunning men and women and enough Kandy to give guests a worthy toothache.

Mind-blowing theme props that surround the pool replicate scenes right out of Willy Wonka and Alice in Wonderland and include strolling performers, whimsical dancers, a giant gumball machine, larger-than-life lollipops and fluorescent candy poles. Beautiful women get dolled up in their most picturesque candy-inspired attire while men are encouraged to wear black.

To ensure all guests receive their dose of Kandy, Kandy Vegas ladies wander the party with a variety of delicious confections.

Conceived by The Karma Foundation, a portion of the proceeds from Kandy Vegas will be donated to deserving Karma supported charities.
