Freaker's Ball at MontBleu Resort Lake Tahoe has big money up for grabs
A $10,000 cash prize and a wild night full of surreal costume get-ups that are guaranteed to make more than a few heads spin returns to MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa with Lake Tahoe's legendary Halloween event, the 34th annual Freaker's Ball, Saturday, Oct. 27.
For more than three decades Tahoe South has hosted the largest, weirdest Halloween costume party, long considered one of the West Coast's favorites. Spread out over three MontBleu venues — Opal, Blu and the Convention Center — partygoers can get one admission ticket and get in on the lunacy that drives this freaky gathering of costumed misfits until the sun comes up.
Besides all the flare, farce, crack-ups and contests that give the Freaker's Ball its attitude, MontBleu will unleash new venues including The Haunted Zone and Party Pit to add to the already outrageous lineup. And of course it wouldn't be a Freaker’s Ball without exotic go-go dancers, spooked-out decor, freakish cocktail concoctions and the funky fashion costume contest with a $10,000 purse.
The revelry is wild with past costumes known to feature the likes of a 16-foot clown, Lady Gaga lookalikes, the entire Addams Family, decks of playing cards, a human lobster bib and dozens of zombified super heroes. With more than 2,500 party-goers expected, the event will sell-out fast. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online at www.montbleuresort.com, www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (888) 829-7630.
Energetic rock, reggae and hip-hop will dominate the MontBleu Theater stage with Matisyahu and the Dirty Heads, Sept. 27. Matisyahu mixes reggae, hip-hop and rap with beat-boxing and witty banter for a unique performance style that has earned several Grammy nominations and a massive fan base. Laced with the signature carefree SoCal attitude, the Dirty Heads deliver a blend of rock, reggae and hip-hop reminiscent of Sublime.
Raise your stein, prepare for the polka, have a sausage with kraut and sip ice cold German lagers, Oct. 6 when MontBleu takes its traditional European turn at Oktoberfest. Day and nighttime festivities include music, dance and traditional German food and brew samplings.
