Palms Casino Resort

Wear as much black & white as you want... or as little as you can get away with...

Las Vegas’ most anticipated and hottest event of the year, Aid for AIDS of Nevada's (AFAN) 37th annual Black & White Party, makes its return to Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. As one of AFAN’s largest fundraisers of the year, proceeds benefit those in Southern Nevada living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.

Guests will enjoy an incredible lineup of entertainment, samples from local restaurants and vendors, over-the-top fashion, and a few naughty surprises. As always, AFAN encourages guests to wear as much black and white as possible or as little as they can get away with.

Prior to the party, AFAN will host a welcome reception at Ghostbar from 7-8 p.m. for VIP+ ticket holders, VIP table groups, sponsors, and invited guests. The “Club 37” experience, named after the Black & White Party’s anniversary year, will feature exclusive entertainment and an open bar. The main event will be held at Palms SOAK Pool and KAOS Nightclub from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. In honor of the event’s 37th anniversary, AFAN is offering early bird general admission tickets for $37 through Tuesday, July 4. VIP table and booth packages are also available for purchase.

The LGBTQ+ Center of Southern Nevada is offering its own Youth Prom. It's a fabulous night of music, food, dancing, and live entertainment for LGBTQ+ teenagers who otherwise may not get a chance to celebrate this special event and create positive lasting memories that will forever impact their lives.

"The Center's Youth Prom is about creating space for LGBTQ+ youth to celebrate their authentic selves. It's a night where they can have fun hanging out with their friends and have the opportunity to meet other LGBTQ+ youth from across the Las Vegas Valley," says Neavez.

This year's prom theme is Enchanted Forest. Attendees are encouraged to dress in their finest magical garments and accessories, and anyone can be crowned the winner of three royal categories.

The Enchanted Forest Youth Prom will be held at KAOS at Palms Casino Resort on June 3, 2023, from 7 pm to 10 pm. It is a free event for LGBTQ+ youth and allies between 13 and 18.
