Vince Neil, Mötley Crüe's singer, is hosting the second annual "Off the Strip Poker Tournament" at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas today, Sunday, November 5.

Neil's Skylar Foundation will raise money for the T.J Martell Foundation, with many celebrities, professional poker players and erotic dancers from Las Vegas. The Foundations raise money for AIDS and cancer research.

The event will include a cocktail party before the tournament. An auction of sports and music memorabilia will be going on throughout the day. The tournament buy-in is $500, plus a $50 entry fee. The guaranteed cash prize pool is $50,000.

Vince Neil established the Skylar Foundation in 1995, following the passing of his daughter from cancer. Among the sponsors for this year's poker tournament are Red Bull, Las Vegas Golfer Magazine and more. Last year's tournament raised $170,000 for the T.J Martell Foundation. Since 1995 Neil has raised over $1 million for the foundation.
