LAS VEGAS and HOUSTON – July 19, 2004 — The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and Clear Channel Entertainment Properties today announced the first Vegas Rock Star Poker Tournament and Sweepstakes. Set for August 26th to 28th at the Palms Casino Resort, the tournament will be a one-of-a-kind, exclusive event headlined by rock greats Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee and the Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik.

Winners and their guests will thrill to the excitement and unpredictability of playing side-by-side with three of the hardest-driving artists in the music world. The weekend begins with a tutorial to get players game-ready, followed by a private “meet and greet” session and dinner with Navarro, Lee and Rzeznik. After the tournament, the winners will attend an exclusive after-party in the infamous Real World Suite at the Palms. The 2,900 square-foot, three-bedroom suite has become the most sought after high-roller suite in town.

Winners will be chosen from registrations at the tournament’s official Web site – www.vegasrockstarpoker.com – and from winners of radio promotions in New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The sweepstakes began July 5 and continues through August 12, 2004 – the top prize is $10,000.
