The event will be open to the public for those aged over 21, with tickets starting at $50. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, groups of no more than four people are allowed to attend.
There will be other precautions in place at the party to prevent the spread of the virus.
The club’s dance group, ‘Sexxy After Dark,’ is expected to perform during the event, according to a report in TMZ.

There will be a special presentation commemorating the life of the self-styled ‘smut puddler’, followed by a rooftop balloon release.
Guests will be able to sip on a specially-styled vodka-based cocktail called the Flynt Goldfinger.
Flynt died due to heart failure, his nephew, Jimmy Flynt Jr. said although he had suffered from a slew of health problems since a 1978 murder attempt that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
He was best known for his pornography publishing empire and Hustler magazine.

The controversial mogul and self-described First Amendment champion had been involved in numerous legal battles involving free speech and pornography regulations.

He was an unlikely free-speech activist known for his legal battles over pornography regulations. Aside from pornography, he launched unsuccessful bids for political office.
His life was made into a 1996 film, The People vs Larry Flynt, starring Woody Harrelson, Edward Norton and Courtney Love, which chronicled his rise to fame and his clashes with religious institutions and the law.

Flynt was married five times, and had five children – his daughter Lisa Flynt-Fugate died in a car crash in Ohio in October 2014, at the age of 47.
He is survived by T.J. Flynt; Theresa Flynt, who worked in marketing for the retail side of Hustler; Tonya Flynt-Vega, who accused her father of sexual abuse – claims he denied – and began the Coalition Against Pornography; and Larry Flynt Jr, who his father said was ‘worthless’.
He married Elizabeth Berrios, his former nurse, in 1998.
In 2013 he told The Hollywood Reporter he was estranged from four of his five children, because he claimed they just wanted his money and were not prepared to show an interest in running his business.
It was unclear if they had reconciled at the time of his death.
Flynt told the magazine that he maintains a special place in his heart for his fourth wife Althea, who was bisexual and died of AIDS in 1987.
‘Althea was the love of my life,’ said Flynt.
The pair met when the 17-year-old runaway started dancing in one of his clubs.
They married in 1976 and remained married until her death in 1987.
