amfAR Las Vegas 2025

The second annual amfAR Las Vegas brought an evening of music, art, and philanthropy to Formula 1’s race weekend. The benefit gala, which was hosted at Wynn Las Vegas in collaboration with 101 Studios, was presented in partnership with the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Multi-Platinum pop sensation Ava Max graced the stage with a special performance and Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei delivered the evening’s opening remarks. 

HIV/AIDS is far from over in the U.S. and Nevada has one of the highest infection rates in the country. Effective treatments, many of them developed with the help of amfAR’s groundbreaking research, have rendered HIV a manageable condition for many people but it still requires lifelong adherence to medication. Funds raised at benefit events like amfAR Las Vegas are a vital source of support for amfAR’s efforts to develop a cure for HIV that could help end the AIDS epidemic once and for all. They will also help amfAR leverage its expertise and expand its research focus to address other pressing global health threats. As amfAR incoming CEO Kyle Clifford said in his remarks, “Many of you have benefited from HIV research in ways you may not know because the impact of HIV research reaches far beyond HIV itself.”

The evening’s Signature Sponsors were RM Sotheby’s and Roberto Cavalli. Supporting Sponsors included Rémy Martin, Champagne Telmont, and Willkie. Wynn Las Vegas was the official hotel and resort partner. The event was in collaboration with 101 Studios. Official media partners were Esses Magazine and VegasMagazine.
