The 44th annual Beaux Arts Ball is coming back to Studio 54

The 44th annual
Beaux Arts Ball
is coming back to Studio 54 this year on Halloween night! The party starts at 10pm and tickets are just $25 in advance and $35 at the door. Don’t forget your costume because cash prizes will be given away for Sexiest, Best Drag and Most Original Costumes!
The biggest Halloween costume party of the year, the Beaux Arts Ball is a Las Vegas tradition dating back more than 40 years. Born as a private party for Strip headliners to lose themselves in costumed fantasy, the Beaux Arts Ball is open to everyone who dares to enjoy. The night features live performances by cast members of Las Vegas production shows, dancing, costume contests and the most outrageous costumes seen anywhere in Las Vegas.
Organized by Golden Rainbow, it is a non-profit organization founded in 1987. We provide housing and financial assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS in the Southern Nevada area.
Golden Rainbow is a grass roots organization, founded by members of the entertainment industry who saw the need to provide housing for people with HIV/AIDS when one of their own was forced to live and die in a garage.
Entertainers, doing what they do best, put together their first show to raise money for this worthwhile cause. That first show was called “Golden Rainbow” and premiered July 11, 1987, in the Ziegfeld Theatre at Bally’s. Since then the show’s name has been changed to “Ribbon of Life ” and is one of the largest HIV/AIDS fundraisers in Nevada.
