The annual holiday party benefitted Three Square Food Bank, a charitable organization providing meals to over 250,000 hungry Vegas area men, women and children. With a ticket price of only $35, guests enjoyed exclusive wine tasting and live entertainment inside the nightclub hotspot along with $5 of each ticket being donated to Three Square.

The exclusive party allowed guests to sample wines from more than 15 unique wineries including such distinguished labels as Aquinas, The Grotto, Rondel,Depreville, Reggae Rhapsody and Dr. Loosen. Gruet, a brut champagne, appeared to be the favorite as guests crowded around the outdoor patio bar to have a sample sip of the delicious bubbly. Prior to the evening’s entertainment, the founders of Rock ‘n Roll Wine, Chris Hammond and Sonny Barton, took center stage to thank ROK Vegas for hosting the event, guests for attending that evening and wineries for supplying the exemplary beverages.

The colorful group consisting of Lead Singer Damian Kulash, Bass Guitarist Tim Nordwind, Drummer Dan Konopka and Keyboardist Andy Ross were dressed in yellow, red, green and blue suits as they belted out fan favorites such as “Here It Goes Again,” “A Million Ways,” and more.
