GOVERNOR’S PARTY

Take a step back in time to celebrate the Rat Pack and the golden age of Las Vegas at the Viva Las LaMissTenn Party Saturday night of DCON. Wear your best tailored sharkskin suit with a skinny neck tie and pocket square, an A-line cocktail dress with stiletto heels, or a fitted 1940s, 50s, or 60s style gown. Think Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Sammy Davis, Jr., Lauren Bacall, Marilyn, & Ann Margaret. But remember, in Vegas, anything goes!
