LAS VEGASMay 7, 2014 – Get ready to rock out with the best of the best! Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is bringing all-time favorite rock stars to Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino for a special Summer Fantasy Camp featuring Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Warren DeMartini (RATT), George Lynch (Dokken), Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction) and Stu Hamm. These special guests will participate in master classes and jam with campers Thursday, July 31 – Sunday, Aug. 3.
 
“I’m really excited to participate in Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp,” said Whitford. “I’m looking forward to rocking out with all of the campers.”
 
In the four-day Summer Fantasy Camp participants will be placed in a band with a rock star counselor and work side by side with talented musicians. Rock star counselors Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot), Vinny Appice (Dio/Black Sabbath) and Teddy Andreadis (Guns n Roses), among others, will mentor campers, fine-tune musical abilities, energize stage presence, participate in Q&A sessions and share inside stories about their time on the road. The camp will culminate with two nights of live performances on the Courtyard Stage inside Crossroads at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.
 
Being offered for the first time is a Songwriting Camp with Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh/CSN), which also will take place Thursday, July 31 – Sunday, Aug. 3. Participants of the Songwriting Camp will indulge in the creative process and develop lyrics, melodies, verses and choruses. Additionally, the campers will learn the ins and outs of publishing and protecting original music and how to pitch songs to artists. Participants of the Songwriting Camp will meet the special guests and counselors throughout the camp, attend master classes and have the option to perform their written song live on the Courtyard Stage inside Crossroads at House of Blues. This package includes experiences with the same guests as the Summer Fantasy Camp, but with the personalized songwriting experience.
 
ABOUT ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP
For our campers, this is a life changing experience. Some of the campers play well and even gave up careers as musicians to become CEOs and lawyers. Some campers can’t play at all. What they all have in common is passion for rock music. At Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp they all get to pursue their passion – and meet, and play with the artists who became the soundtrack of their lives. It has been a fantastic experience for all of us who have been able to witness it for the past sixteen years.
