RICK RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc

Club Onyx, the upscale gentlemen�s club in Houston that caters to African-Americans, celebrates its third anniversary on Friday, June 8th, with a celebrity-packed party and $3 drinks. Club Onyx is owned by publicly traded Rick�s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK). Located at 3113 Bering Drive in the Galleria section of Houston, Club Onyx has become the �in� party spot for the city�s growing hip hop music community, professional athletes and businessmen. Club Onyx opened June 10, 2004 in the 12,800 square foot nightclub that was the former home of the original Rick�s Cabaret after the company�s management decided to take its highly successful upscale gentlemen�s club format into one of the fastest growing but underserved demographic segments �increasingly affluent urban males. �We have planned a great party to thank our patrons for three spectacular years,� said Ed Anakar, the Rick�s Cabaret executive who has spearheaded the development of the Club Onyx concept. The company now operates Club Onyx venues in Houston, South Houston and Charlotte. The anniversary party will feature live performances by famous hip hop artists and other celebrity guests, in addition to beautiful entertainers flown in for the occasion from throughout the country. The party begins at 7 pm and officially wraps up at 11 pm, with guests invited to stay all night to enjoy the club atmosphere. For further information call 713-785-0444.
