George Wallace and Hard Rock Cafes in Las Vegas Team Up for Charity
Hard Rock Cafes in Las Vegas, NV have teamed up with Vegas icon and comedian George Wallace, dubbed “Mr. Las Vegas,” for a cause that is very close to his heart – helping to change the lives of children born with facial deformities.

From now through Saturday, June 30, 2012, $5 from every Local Legendary Burger purchased at both Hard Rock Cafe locations in Las Vegas will be donated directly to Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity with programs and foundations in more than 60 countries. Operation Smile is dedicated to providing free reconstructive surgery for children and young adults around the world who suffer from facial deformities, such as cleft lips and cleft palate.
