LAS VEGAS - (March 30, 2009) - Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ-GM:RICK], the nation's premier operator of upscale gentlemen's clubs, has partnered with the famous Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to create the "Rick's Cabaret Rockstar Suite."

Designed as the ultimate bachelor party venue, the spacious yet intimate suite offers a private dance floor, complete with stripper pole, a nightclub style sound and lighting system, and plush amenities such as high thread count linens, goose down pillows and a master bath with personal spa.

Views from the master bedroom in the suite open to the famous Hard Rock Beach Club pool, the home of legendary Sunday pool party REHAB, where weekend revelers gather in the thousands to sip potent Rockstar Lemonades, listen to world famous DJs and frolic in skimpy bikinis.

"Our Rick’s Cabaret Rockstar Suite packages include the amazing suite itself, plus VIP limo service to the nearby Rick's Cabaret Gentlemen's Club where our guests will get VIP treatment to complete their 'party like a Rockstar' experience," says Steve Cyr, Senior Director of Customer Development for the hotel and casino.

"The Rick's Cabaret Rockstar Suite will be like having your personal nightclub at the Hard Rock, one of the great entertainment venues of the world," says Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret.
