WHERE IS IT?
We are thrilled to announce that Mondo Lounge III will be held at the world famous Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The Palms has embraced the Mid Century Modern aesthetic since they first opened their doors and we feel our Mondo Lounge guests will feel right at home dressing to the nines over the weekend and having the swankiest time ever. Including hanging out at the Playboy Club and MidMod designed Ghost Bar.
And Java's Bachelor Pad Magazine PinUp Pool Party will be held at the equally glamorous Palms Place Pool!

CAN I VEND OR PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT?
Yes!
Early Bird Vending Spaces are only $100 for a 10x10 space.

Our entertainment schedule is pretty full, but there is ALWAYS room for one more talented person or group. We offer complimentary 5x5 exhibit space for any act that performs at the event.

944 magazine will be printing a full color glossy program for us. Ad spaces are still available at only $250 for a full 5.5 x 8.5 page!

This IS a dress to impress weekend - so pull out your favorite vintage outfits and go for it.
YOU do not want to be the one who missed out on this fun historic event.
