LAS VEGAS (May 20, 2024) - In true rockstar style, Sammy’s Island made a splashy debut at Palms Casino Resort on Friday night. The music was pumping and the beach vibes were booming throughout the new tropical oasis dreamt up by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar.
Alongside longtime bandmates Michael Anthony and Vic Johnson, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer surprised the thousands of fans who attended the party when he bounded onto the stage during a set by tribute band, Red Voodoo. Hagar, who’s long been nicknamed the “Red Rocker,” belted out hits “Your Love is Driving Me Crazy” and “There’s Only One Way to Rock,” much to the delight of the “Redheads,” his loyal fans.
Sammy’s Island took center stage at the rockin’ bash, where guests sipped on tropical cocktails made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum at the Tiki Bar and savored margaritas featuring Santo Tequila at the Tequileria. Buckets on ice served cans of Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktails and Hagar’s new Red Rocker Lager by Red Rocker Brewing Co., which made its Nevada debut at the party.
Rooted in the immortal spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, the Sammy’s Island stage will host a series of live All-Star Jam performances throughout the summer. The series includes All-Star Jam: Hosted by SIXWIRE on Saturday, July 20, headlined by Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath and Matt Scanell from Vertical Horizon, along with The Rembrandts and Emerson Hart. More information and tickets for all events here.
The Palms Pool has been completely reimagined and redesigned, with Hagar’s signature Baja beach vibe imprinted on everything from his premium spirits and food to the live music series, right down to the design elements and fabric patterns highlighted in each of the Hager-themed Red Rocker Bungalows. If standing-room-only crowds and rave reviews are any indicator, Sammy’s Island is destined to be another hit for Hagar, who has crafted an entire industry encompassing restaurants and spirits from his lifelong passion for great food, music and spirits.
The Sammy’s Island menu offers cocktails designed for summer sipping, including the Maui-jito made with Sammy’s Beach Bar rum, fresh lime juice, pineapple syrup, fresh mint leaves, and club soda, topped with a dehydrated pineapple; and the Cabo-rita made with Santo Blanco tequila, Cointreau and fresh lime sour. Poolside eats include the Beach Club burger made with Wagyu beef topped with grilled poblano and poblano-lime aioli and served on a brioche bun; and Red Rocker mahi mahi tacos topped with lime crema, cilantro, pickled onions and pico de gallo.
