As Playmate of the Year 2011, Sinclair received: $100,000 in prize money, a Harley-Davidson® 1200 Custom with H-D1™ factory customization and a collector's item, a one-of-a-kind set of Playboy Fragrances with Swarovski Elements.
David Cassidy also stopped by and posed for photos on the red carpet.
Earlier that afternoon, Hefner and his Playboy Playmates hosted the season premiere of the weekly pool party, Ditch Fridays at Palms Pool & Bungalows. They enjoyed the scene from the privacy of a VIP cabana on stage. Resident DJs E-Rock and Mark Stylz entertained partygoers by spinning their beats on the turntables.
