Tommy Lee to Play C.A.O. Party
Rocker Tommy Lee, the drummer from Mötley Crüe, is headlining C.A.O.'s party at the Retail Tobacco Dealers of America trade show this summer in Las Vegas.

The party is open to all RTDA attendees. RTDA is the industry's annual trade show, where cigarmakers, distributors and retailers show off the latest cigars. The show is typically off-limits to people who aren't in the cigar business, but C.A.O. is going to give away 500 tickets to consumers who download tickets from its web site, www.caocigars.com.

In addition, C.A.O. is giving away a free trip to the party for the person who writes the best essay on his favorite Las Vegas moment.

The ticket downloads are not available yet; C.A.O.'s Jon Huber said he planned to have that information on C.A.O.'s Web site by the end of the week.

The party will take place Monday, July 17, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool, which sports nearly five acres of sand beaches, tropical palms, a pair of pools and four Jacuzzis.

"This year's C.A.O. RTDA party will be the party everyone talks about for weeks afterwards," said Tim Ozgener, vice president of the Nashville, Tennessee, cigarmaker. "Our goal is to create the ultimate party cocktail of cigars, drinks and music; mix it all up with a splash of sexy; and pour it all over the hottest spot in Las Vegas, the Hard Rock Hotel Pool."
