Performances hit the stage all night. You won't know who's next until they're on.
Live dancers
On stage, on the floor, and probably right next to you.
Haunted house
Your night starts with a scare. Walk in brave and see how long that lasts.

Tables are limited. The VIP list gets first pick.
Up to $1,500
Costume contest
The prize grows with every RSVP. Hit 2,500 RSVPs and it maxes out at $1,500. Bring a friend, raise the pot, then come dressed to take it.
