Ravello Lounge Turns Vintage Vegas w/ Lon Bronson Band

September 2nd, 2010 by M Social Media Team

Lon Bronson and Drew Carey at a recent performance at M Resort.

If you’re looking for amazing live entertainment this Labor Day weekend, look no further than the Lon Bronson Band appearing here at M Resort tonight through Sunday, September 2-5 in our Ravello Lounge.  If you’ve never seen the Lon Bronson All-Star Band you’re just plain missing out. This versatile band features Vegas’ top musicians performing Industrial Strength R&B, Rock, Soul and Funk for the discerning live music fan. The band has trumpets, saxophones, vocalists, guitars, drums, dancers – you get the point…they have it all! At more than 19 years, they are the longest running band in Las Vegas history! That stat alone should make you at least a little bit curious to come check them out!

Earlier this month, Drew Carey popped in to Ravello Lounge to enjoy a lil’ Bronson & company as did the well-known lounge singer and entertainer Cook E. Jarr. Lon himself will be the first to tell you that you never know who might jump onstage when his band is performing! “Impromptu guest stars are all part of the show. We never know who might come, and that definitely makes performances interesting.”

The Band has garnered widespread acclaim and a rich history of headliners and performers who have sat in to perform when passing through town. Performers like Skunk Baxter, The Righteous Brothers, Huey Lewis, Tower of Power, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Temptations, Taylor Dane, David Cassidy, Penn Jillette, The Bare Naked Ladies, Tom Jones, Joe Walsh and the cast of the HBO Drama, The Sopranos have come by in just the past few years. 

Now, we’ve mentioned Ravello Lounge before, but we must say it again, we love our lounge. The seating is comfortable (nice velvet chairs), the bar is mere steps away and first-rate lighting, stellar stage and an impressive sound system round out this great live music lounge. But don’t take our word for it – take Lon’s!

“Ravello Lounge is by far the best intimate, lounge setting that we’ve enjoyed in many years. It has a great ‘vintage Vegas vibe’ that a lot of lounges are missing. Imagine watching and listening to a ten piece horn band performing in your living room!”

And perform is exactly what this band does. They’ve been featured on NBC, HBO and TBS. Members of the Bronson Band have backed up and performed with The Temptations, The 4 Tops, David Foster, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Don Henley and Elton John and that’s just a partial list!

The Emmy-nominated Lon Bronson always delivers a great show. Don’t miss a rare chance to see this legendary Vegas band in the intimate setting of Ravello Lounge!

Here’s a rundown of their show times:
Tonight & Tomorrow (Thurs & Fri) – 9:30 pm to 12:30am
Saturday (9/4) - 10 pm to 1 am
Sunday (9/5) – 8 pm to 11 pm

10 Off-the-Cuff Vol. II

August 31st, 2010 by M Social Media Team

We know you wanted another one, right? Here are 10 more off-the-cuff things we think are pretty cool at M Resort that you should know about:

pastriesblogThe pastries at Baby Cakes are divine. Have one with your coffee, as an afternoon snack or take a big bag home or to the office. Believe us, they’re gonna love you for it.

 

 

 

 

 
LoftTVblog

 

We’ve told you a bit about the loft suites and this is definitely one of the coolest features. As if the spectacular view, immaculate room and floor to ceiling windows weren’t enough, the TV above the bed appears magically and tilts to just the right angle for you to watch while sprawled out in that oh so comfy bed.

VelocePatioblog

 

 

Above that loft suite? One of the most amazing outdoor spaces in Vegas. The patio outside Veloce’s bar and lounge is something you have to experience. Relax with some sangria and watch the sunset.

 

 

imaginerewardsblog

 

 

The iMagine Rewards Club is cool. The point system is better, the gifts are better, the staff is friendlier, the cards just look niftier….

 

 

 

 

naturallightblog

 

 

 

 

And while you’re using that card, enjoy some of that natural light in the casino. WHAT?! NATURAL LIGHT IN A CASINO?! Yup.

 

TerzettoTableblog

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Been to Terzetto yet? It’s our steakhouse and if you’re looking for a very cool place to dine, try the feature table. “Look mom, no legs!”

HGceilingblog

 

 

 

 When it comes to cool things suspended from the ceiling, head down to Hostile Grape. Those are thousands of slats from wine barrels which came from the Marnell winery in Napa. An artist put them together, numbered them, took them all apart, then reassembled them here at the property.

cardsblog

 

 

 

Don’t know about you, but logoed playing cards are just cool. They scream “Vegas.”

 

 

StudioKitchenblog

 

 

Hopefully you’ve seen it by now, but if you haven’t, you need to check it out. It’s a restaurant, it’s a buffet, it’s a show kitchen/TV studio? Just like you’d find your favorite celeb chef in on TV, there’s a show kitchen inside Studio B with lights, cameras and plenty of cooking action with Martini Time – Vegas’ only live cooking show.bettingstationblog

 

 

Sports betting at M is something you have to try. Look at the betting stations!

 

That’s 10! Check them out next time you visit us here at M!

Get Logoed

August 26th, 2010 by M Social Media Team

logoedblog9If you haven’t visited the Vice Shop, it’s worth stopping by. Just the other day there was a 30% off sale with some awfully cool stuff. And we’re not shy about saying it – the stuff we give away here at M Resort on gift days and the items available in the Vice Shop are pretty dang nice. Let’s face something else, there are some logos that look great on just about anything you whack them on – t-shirts, pens, mugs, slot machines, hats, letterhead, the side of your building – and there are some that just shouldn’t have made it out of anyone’s brain. Of course, we think ours is one of the former. It’s simple and elegant. It’s clean and memorable. It goes great on, well, just about anything you want to whack it on. Here are a few of those things, including many of which you’ll find in the Vice Shop:

Meet Nicanor, Bartender at the M Bar

August 19th, 2010 by M Social Media Team

Nic2If you’re thirsty, there’s certainly no shortage of places to get a drink here at M Resort. One place offering a very cool atmosphere, one of the most spectacular chandeliers you’ll ever see, and of course some of the friendliest staff in Vegas is the M Bar. One of those team members you’ll find is Nicanor. We thought we’d ask him a few questions and share his answers with you:

What is your background:  I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 20 years and previously lived in California. I’m Mexican/Puerto Rican and have been tending bar for about 10 years. I used to work at Red Rock before coming to the M and have been here since the day we opened.

What’s the best thing about being a bartender: It’s interactive and fun. I’m basically a psychologist for people, which can be pretty funny and interesting.

What’s your funniest bar story: I was behind the bar getting a guests’ drink and was really in a hurry – we were busy and I wanted to get the drinks out quickly. I was running around and got my pant leg caught. I didn’t think it would be a big deal to tug at it…but I tugged and my pants ripped open. Needless to say, guests received a bit more than a drink that night!

I’ve heard a lot of funny stories – when people start drinking they tend to lose their inhibitions. I’ve seen people dance on table tops, lose their clothes and run into glass walls.

What’s the biggest tip you’ve ever received: $300

Who are some celebrities you’ve mixed drinks for: Tiger Woods, Charles Barkley, Suge Knight, Waynes Brothers (ordered Mai Tais)

What’s your favorite drink on our menu: Sweet Crush – it’s easy to make and easy to sell to the ladies. It has champagne and strawberries – what lady wouldn’t love it?

What bars do you work at on property: I’ve worked at all our bars but now I’m at M Bar.

What’s the best pick-up line you’ve used or that has been used on you: Lots of ladies just ask to feel my muscles and pose for pictures with me.  I’m not one to use pick-up lines on the ladies.

What’s the best experience you’ve had while working here:  I met my girlfriend while working at the M.

What do you think is the best thing about Vegas: The city changes all the time and there’s tons of things to do here. My favorite place here, when I’m not working, is to go to Firefly Restaurant.

What’s one thing people don’t know about you:  I cut my own hair.

What do you do for fun: Wine tasting, exercise, dine out.

Next time you’re visiting us, make sure to stop in to M Bar and say hi to Nic!

Hash House A Go Go – Twisted Farm Food

August 17th, 2010 by M Social Media Team

porktenderloinIf you haven’t heard, it’s awfully good news – especially for those of us living on “this” side of town. For years Hash House A Go Go has been a Las Vegas (and San Diego) favorite. They’re a 7-time “Best of Las Vegas” award winner and it’s easy to see why. The restaurant has been featured in the likes of the New York Times, The Food Network’s “Rachel Ray’s Vacation,” the Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food,” the Fine Living Network’s “Martha Stewart,” NBC’s “Dr. Phil” and ABC’s “What Would You Do?” to name a very few of many.

burgerFor years, Las Vegans hungry for their ridiculously delicious food have had to make the trek over to their West Sahara location to get a taste of what’s good. Andy’s sage fried chicken benedict with maple reduction. (It goes great over waffles too!) Their famous meatloaf hash with roasted red peppers, fresh spinach and smoked mozzarella. Griddled all blue crab cakes with smashed pot-squash, chili mayo and bar b’ que drizzle. One-pound stuffed burgers and grilled pork tenderloin with honey mustard glaze and southern pecans. There are just too many to name but every one of them leaves you wanting more. Or we should say leaves you wanting to come back for more because we guarantee you’ll be full and happy with these portions.

chickenwafflesHash House will be opening here at M Resort in early October. If you’re looking, they’re also hosting a job fair today and tomorrow, August 17 & 18 from 9am to 6pm in Molise Room 4 on the spa level. They’re looking for servers, bussers, hosts/hostesses and cooks so come down and join the team. We’ll see you at Hash House in October!

Team Time

August 10th, 2010 by M Social Media Team

We get a lot of comments from our guests about how much they appreciate our team members and the guest service here at M Resort. Hardly a day goes by that we don’t get a Facebook post, tweet on Twitter or in-person comment thanking us for great guest service and often times calling out the efforts of particular team members by name. What an incredible tribute to our team and their commitment to amazing guest service.

hopecoach1blogAnd because our team does such an outstanding job, M Resort tries to give something back to them beyond a paycheck, benefits and a job. We’ve told you about our team member of the month and year awards, but thought we’d also let you know a couple other things we’ve recently experienced as M Resort Team Members: 

Last Thursday, the Hope Coach visited M Resort to offer breast cancer screenings to our team Members. What’s the Hope Coach you ask? The Hope Coach (operated by the Nevada Cancer Institute) is a mobile digital mammography van that travels around the valley to various employers and offers breast cancer screenings. This greatly increases the availability and number of screenings by removing the barrier of people having to seek out care by instead bringing the care to them. 

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), Nevada has one of the lowest mammography screening hopecoach2blogrates nationally. As you may know, mammography is the best way to identify breast cancer in its early stages which in turn leads to much higher chances of beating the disease. Here in Las Vegas, we’re lucky enough to be the home of the Nevada Cancer Institute and their Hope Coach. For more information about the Nevada Cancer Institute and to find out how you too can bring the Hope Coach to your place of work, visit www.nevadacancerinstitute.org. 

appreciationday1blogThursday was of course followed by Friday, but it wasn’t any ordinary Friday. Last Friday was Team Member Appreciation Day. Yes, there are balloons and a festive atmosphere, appreciationday2blogbut the really good stuff is of course the menu in the TDR (Team Dining Room) and the PRIZES! Lemon Pepper Crusted Bamboo Mahi-Mahi? Grilled New York steaks? Chicken Saltimbocca with sage, prosciutto and fontina cheese? Crab legs? Yes, yes, yes and yes…and more. There were also drawings for some pretty great prizes like free room nights, dining certificates, spa treatments and big-screen LCD TVs!

We have a lot of fun here at the M. We love our team members and we thank you for your Facebook posts, tweets and in-person comments about our team’s service. Keep ‘em coming!

That pool is rad man

August 5th, 2010 by M Social Media Team

Reagan was president, the Soviet Union was still that “other” super-power, big hair, legwarmers and acid-washed jeans were everywhere to be seen, and the music was, well, totally awesome. The 80s was a decade many of us remember and while there are some things we’d rather forget about it (leave the shoulder pads where they belong – in the closet), the iconic pop culture is something most of us remember fondly. 

Whether you are a child of the 80s, grew up in them, lived through them or even just missed them, you should come down and experience them once again in the fantastic setting of the Villaggio Del Sole Pool and Entertainment Piazza here at M Resort. Our Totally Awesome 80s Pool Party is bound to shake you all night long. 

80spoolpartyblog

The event is this coming Saturday, August 7 from 11am to 8pm. It’s free for all you local ladies 21+ and just $10 for the local gents and $15 for non-locals. You better come dressed in your finest 80s attire since the best dressed will win a free cabana rental and bottle of Skyy Vodka. We’ll also be raffling prizes like a free night stay, gift cards and more cabanas. You’ll find great drink specials like $1 M-80 shots (you’ll have to listen for a special 80s song to get in on that one) and $20 buckets of select beer. If you’re looking to pamper pre or post party, check out the Spa Mio special – $80 for any 50-minute massage or get in on the cabanas early since they’re going quick – they come with an 80s ultimate party pack. Call (707) 797-1808 to reserve yours now. 

The event will be hosted by DJ D-Money and he’ll be pouring the sugar on you time after time. So don’t be too shy during this cruel summer – we’re all livin’ on a prayer ‘cause we just can’t get enough. Whether you’re Billie Jean or Jessie’s girl, drive a little red corvette or walk like an Egyptian, remember the girls just want to have fun  and fun is definitely to be had this Saturday at M Resort’s Totally Awesome 80s Pool Party.poolpartyblog
