A small update from Pretty Princess Club

Thank you all for your patience as you await our latest updates. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to pause all event operations for the foreseeable future. We know this comes as a disappointment to many of you, and we are sorry we don't have better news to announce.

At this time, we are uncertain when we will return to action. In the meantime, we appreciate your support and understanding.

Pretty Princess Club @ Paradiso

Hey everyone!

Wow, it’s been over 6 months since we saw you all at Royal Vegas Retreat. We can’t believe how many pictures from that weekend we still see on social media! It means so much to us that our event has a place in your hearts and minds, and we can’t wait for the next one.

We’re breaking our social media hiatus to let you know that we’ll be at Paradiso! We’ll be selling merchandise and recruiting for our new staff roles at the Paradiso Day One event. Please stop by our table! If you’re interested in getting involved with Pretty Princess Club, including having a hand in long-term planning and decision-making, especially if you have a passion for marketing, public relations, or social media, we want to talk to you.

How to show proof of vaccination at RVR 2021

Hey folks! This week, we're answering a question that we've gotten several times, and one that is super important to your ability to attend #RoyalVegasRetreat2021 : how do I show proof of vaccination?

Regardless of where you're based in the world, you have 2 options:

  • Physical paperwork

  • Electronic records

In either case, we will cross-check your vaccination record against your government-issued ID. We expect the name on your government ID to match your vaccine record, which may or may not match the name we have on file for you. If there's a good reason why this isn't the case, just let us know as you're checking in. We hope to make this process as painless and as respectful of your privacy as possible.
