Motley Crue Frontman Vince Neil Celebrates Grand Opening of New Las Vegas Hotspot

Mötley Crüe Frontman Vince Neil Celebrates Grand Opening of New Rock ‘n Roll
Hotspot EAT-DRINK-PARTY!
On November 5, Vince Neil started the party with a VIP opening event for his
closest friends. Vince arrived with girlfriend Rain Andreani and joined special
guests that included Guns N’ Roses guitarist Dj Ashba, artist Michael Godard,
famed comedian and fellow “Gold Club” member Scott Thompson, a/k/a Carrot Top,
Pantera’s Vinnie Paul, actor Chuck McCann and rapper Coolio. Cult character
actor Michael Berryman, who portrayed the principal from Motley Crue’s hit video
“Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” presented Vince with an A++ for his school
assignment reminiscent of the 1985 video he appeared in. Guest musicians Paul
Shortino and Andrew Freeman from the hit show “Raiding the Rock Vault” joined
Sin City Sinners on stage for Dio’s classic, Rainbow in the Dark; and Ron
Keel covered Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin.

The venue is truly a tribute to Vince Neil’s momentous career spanning over
three decades and includes the rocker’s gold and platinum records mixed in with
memorabilia of some of his most prized possessions, including a few stage
costumes and even his racing suit displayed on mannequins. The décor, straight
out of the “Decade That Rocked” on the Sunset Strip, is filled with an array of
iconic photographs of Vince by rock photographer Mark “Weissguy” Weiss, who was
an integral part of the creative vision for the restaurant and bar areas.

“This is great! It reminds me of the Rainbow back in the day–the red booths,
the photos, the album covers. It’s a great hang! It’s almost like making a
record. You have this thought in your head and you see it progress and progress.
Then, all of a sudden you hold the album in your hand–like back in the day–
and you say oh my god. This turned out so good. It’s the same thing when someone
opens a restaurant or bar. You have a vision and you see it finished. You look
around and you say wow– this really turned out great!!”

“I want this to be a cool hangout not only for the locals here and the local
rockers in Las Vegas, but the bands that come into town to play the clubs in
Vegas… and this is the place to come hang out afterward or before.”

–Vince Neil on Ron Keel’s radio show “The Streets of Rock & Roll” at the Grand
Opening.

Saturday night, Neil welcomed the public to experience EAT-DRINK-PARTY! for the
first time with a night of live entertainment by the Rat Pack of rock ‘n’ roll,
Sin City Sinners, along with plenty of scantily clad go-go girls dancing on the
bar tops. Vince spent the majority of the evening in his custom-designed Gold
Room, hanging with venue co-owners and longtime restaurant aficionados David
Tuttleman and Mark Green. Saturday’s Grand Opening event welcomed notable faces
in the crowd such as Chris Phillips of Zowie Bowie, Felix Silla, Cousin Itt from
the Adams Family, Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns, master puppeteer Bill Diamond and
more. Just before 11 PM, Vince thrilled the amped-up crowd when he joined the
Sinners to perform Highway to Hell by ACDC and Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin.
Next up, Pantera’s Vinnie Paul joined in a chorus of Run to the Hills by Iron
Maiden and Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer, Howard Leese (Heart, Bad Company and
Raiding the Rock Vault) performed All Right Now by Free. John Payne (Asia,
Raiding the Rock Vault) and the Sinners closed the show with a fitting rendition
of With a Little Help From My Friends.

EAT-DRINK-PARTY! serves up a mouth-watering menu of food and drink, including
Vince’s signature Tatuado brand. The winning combination of Neil’s affinity for
tattoos and tequila along with Tuttleman and Green’s emphasis on a party-like
environment is the perfect showcase to host a variety of entertainment events.
Everything from national acts and local Vegas rock stars to tribute acts, book
signings, CD release parties, acoustic performances and meet and greets, are all
planned for the venue.

“I have wanted to expand the Tatuado brand and bring it to The Strip for a
while,” said Vince Neil. “Teaming with David and Mark to recreate Rock & Rita’s
into my own spot will create a true home for the brand. People can come have a
great time and enjoy my signature line of spirits while they party.” –Vince
Neil
