Haunted Hotel Ball checks in to Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay this Halloween!

CHICAGO -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Chicago and Phoenix/Scottsdale's biggest Halloween costume party, Haunted Hotel Ball, checks in to the Las Vegas Strip's Mandalay Bay on Saturday, October 27, 2012 with a live performance from Havana Brown of her 2012 Billboard #1 hit single and a $5,000 costume contest.

Created in 2008 by nightlife producers Global Adrenaline, Haunted Hotel Ball attracts over 4,000 partygoers and sells out Hilton Chicago and Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale each year. Now, the all-night Halloween bash has its sights set on Sin City, where partying till dawn is mandatory, making it the perfect next stop for the event that is becoming the top Halloween party brand in the US.

Haunted Hotel Ball combines elements of a VIP nightclub experience, with the exclusiveness of a hotel gala, and the terror of a haunted house. The moment you enter Mandalay Bay, you will be directed to a 30,000 square foot ballroom transformed by an Emmy© Award winning design team into an eerie setting from Las Vegas past with theatrical encounters from wolf man Elvis, the zombie Rat Pack, and vampire showgirls.

"Unlike nightclubs with permanent fixtures, hotel ballrooms like those at Mandalay Bay are dynamic and a blank canvas for our design team to completely transform", says Christian Banach, owner of Global Adrenaline. "We have proven with our successful parties in Chicago and Scottsdale that partygoers want to experience Halloween in a one-of-kind environment. Las Vegas nightclubs will be there tomorrow, Haunted Hotel Ball will not."

Over 3,000 costumed partygoers will dance to the dark and dirty beats of world renowned DJs and recording artists, including a live performance from the Australian export Havana Brown, whose track "We Run the Night" featuring Pitbull, reached #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and peaked at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year.

Outrageous, bizarre and risque will be among the Halloween costumes competing in the $5,000 cash and prize virtual costume contest. Photos of the top contestants will be posted on the Haunted Hotel Ball website following the event and visitors will vote for their favorite costumes from the three Haunted Hotel Ball locations.

Haunted Hotel Ball takes place on Saturday, October 27, 2012 at Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 60605 from 10:00PM-4:00AM.
