Acolorful crowd gathered at the Hard Rock Cafe on Sunday in an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Drag Stage Show.”
The Hard Rock Cafe said the restaurant, on Paradise Road, was donating proceeds from the brunch to the Gay &Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada as a symbol of the cafe’s mantra to “Love All, Serve All.”
Many items were auctioned off on behalf of the center, including a package to attend the comedy performance of Bianca Del Rio, the Season 6 winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” at Hard Rock Live in May. Del Rio is coming to town as part of the “Rolodex of Hate” tour.
Performers who showed up by 10 a.m. had the opportunity to go through a “drag wash” that transformed them into a drag queen or king.
