"We are very pleased with our agreement with Andy," said Rapino. "His success in driving business to the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, as well as his long history and relationships will be an asset to the Music Division."Hewitt began his career at Avalon Attractions in the early 80's. He then moved to the Nederlander Organization where he booked amphitheaters and helped start the Nederlander concert company. In 1987 Hewitt joined the Arnold Stiefel Company, where he worked in management while continuing to promote concerts. In 1990 Hewitt partnered with Bill Silva to produce the pop and rock shows at The Hollywood Bowl. "I am thrilled by the prospect of working on a national touring level," said Hewitt.

Peter Morton commented, "Andy has helped me to achieve our goal of bringing arena and stadium rock to my venue. With his help, this all-ages room has revolutionized the Las Vegas music scene by bringing significant & cutting edge music to a major entertainment market that was once ignored by such acts. We are now proudly the home to the best artists from around the world." [PRESS RELEASE]
