Rendezvous–THE Sat. Night Pool Party for Local Ladies

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

As you may know, when the sun goes down in Vegas during pool season, the temperature generally stays plenty warm and sometimes downright hot. But let us tell you – that’s a good thing. Why? Well we figure pool parties shouldn’t just be a daytime phenomenon as they generally are here  in our beloved city of sin. Every Saturday when the sun sets on those “other” pool clubs, DayDream Pool Club here at M Resort opens its doors welcoming local ladies to Rendezvous – the only Saturday night pool party in the city – just for them.

Rendezvous treats local ladies to complimentary champagne and strawberries and buy one, get one bottle specials every Saturday from 9 p.m. to close.* Ladies can enter to win special prizes throughout the evening. Did we say complimentary champagne and strawberries for local ladies? Ummm, yes. And by the way, that’s at every Rendezvous Saturday! Here are the particulars for you:

With some of the lowest cabana/daybed and bottle prices in the city, DayDream Pool Club is not just a “pool party,” it’s a leisure retreat for locals offering them a convenient, away-from-the-Strip experience. At more than 12,000 square feet, DayDream Pool Club is an adult’s playground with cabanas, daybeds, lounging areas, ice-railed bar and infinity-edge pool. Future plans include rolling out additional daily themes and specials for the remainder of the pool season. DayDream Pool Club is also planning specials for Memorial Day Weekend and Fourth of July.

Time to get outside and party

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

PartyZoneblogSome of you out there who attended one of our great outdoor concerts last summer (like Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson and oh yes, Journey!) were hoping for a little more room to move around and well…get down. Well, we listened. This year if you’re lucky enough to join us for one of our awesome outdoor music extravaganzas held in the Villaggio Del Sole entertainment piazza, you’ll be treated to a whole lot of space dedicated to those of you that want to drink, dance and let loose.

We’re turning a large portion of the venue into a party zone for our two upcoming concerts – Steve Miller Band (5/21) and Huey Lewis & The News (5/29). Which means bring some friends, find a few new ones, get yourself a bucket of beers (Bud and Bud Light buckets just $20 while supplies last…can you say “concert bargain”?!), and get your party hat on. 

Budweiser presents the Jack FM  Party Zone here at M Resort from 7-9 pm Friday, May 21 and Saturday, May 29. With a general admission ticket  to either band starting at just $39.99, you’ll have access to the Party Zone with drinks, dancing and some mighty fine prize giveaways too if you like free stuff.

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

RNRWblog2RNRWblog3Perhaps you wouldn’t think of them as the likeliest of partners, but something pretty special is happening here at M Resort when wine, reggae and the fantastic Villaggio Del Sole pool and entertainment piazza all come together. Once again, we’ll be hosting Rock ‘N Roll Wine’s annual Reggae Pool Party on Saturday, May 15 beginning at 7 p.m. If you missed it last year you’ll definitely want to get your tickets now. And if you were lucky enough to catch it before, we know you’ll want to come back out again. 

RNRWblog1This is a truly great night for wine and music lovers, where you can sip more than 50 wines under the stars, and oh yes poolside, while enjoying the live reggae sounds of Michael Black and Jah Guide band and Los Angeles sensation Peter Goetz with his festival band. More than 25 wineries will be represented so don’t forget to sample selections from Rodney Strong, Jus Soli, Davis Bynum, George Wines, Wilson Creek, Kim Crawford, and Rock ‘n Roll Wine’s own award-winning wines “Reggae Rhapsody” and “The Grotto”.  

RNRWblog4If you haven’t had the chance to see what the pool and entertainment piazza here at M Resort has to offer, this is the perfect excuse to get down here and check it out.

Music to your ears

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

piazzablogA few weeks ago we told you a little more about our pools here at M Resort. And while Villaggio Del Sole offers a perfect setting for pool goers and sun seekers of all kinds, many don’t realize that Villaggio is also an events piazza. At the northern end of the plaza you’ll find a large open stage, with a full complement of technology fit for any A-list performer, their backdrop the lights and heights of the famous Las Vegas Strip. 

concertsetupblogWhat about those performers? Did you know that beneath that stage you’ll find a green room with private access and all the creature comforts the headliners could need? It’s only a bit more than a year since we opened here at M, but we’ve already hosted the likes of Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson and the iconic Journey. (You know what they say about Journey right? There are only two kinds of people in this world: people who love Journey and liars). 

journeyblogIf you’ve never been to an outdoor concert, it’s something you truly need to do. A concert at Villaggio takes things even a step further – it isn’t an open air sports arena or public park, but a beautiful plaza at an unmistakable resort. Listening to great music in this open setting is an entirely different experience from just about anything you’ll find anywhere else. Why don’t you join us for the next one? Tickets are on sale now to see the legendary Steve Miller Band on Friday, May 21 at 9 p.m. Tickets range from $85 to $39.95 all inclusive. Tickets may be purchased through Ticketmaster by calling 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.stage2blog Photos courtesy of Tom Donoghue.TimMcGrawblog

 
 

Take a dip at M Resort

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

It’s almost like a holiday in Vegas when pool season arrives – we’ve been looking forward to it for months and it means the warmer weather is here and another great summer is just around the corner. So, for you it means it’s time to go find your bathing suit (in the closet or something new and stylish from the local shops), flip-flops, sun screen and tanning oil, and make sure those sunglasses are up to the task. With Daydream, our smaller and more private pool, opening yesterday and the main pool to follow shortly, we thought we’d give you a look at places to take a dip at M Resortlowerriseduskblog

There’s no better place to frolic, relax, get some sun or stay cool in the shade and misters of a private cabana than at M Resort. M boasts more than 100,000 square feet of pool and entertainment space outside. The Villaggio del Sole Pool and Entertainment Piazza features two, 5,460 square foot chlorine, heated, infinity-edge pools and two large Jacuzzis. With 400+ lounge chairs, an amazing sound system and the best service in Vegas, there’s plenty of room for you to relax. 

If you’re looking for something a little more intimate and upscale, we’ve got a cabana with your name on it. Each is equipped for the ultimate poolside experience with amenities including chaise lounges, reserved sun deck lounges, 32-inch LCD televisions and an iHome docking station. If the heat is too much, relax inside the cabana and enjoy a breeze from the ceiling fan. 

For the utmost in luxury and privacy, VIP cabanas are also available to rent daily. These cabanas are located closer to the entertainment piazza and further from other pool guests. VIP cabanas are stocked with all the same amenities as regular cabanas, but include a few extra pampering surprises. Each VIP cabana contains a personal infinity edge hot tub (really, you have to come check these out because they are sweet), a private shower and access to a private sundeck. 

If you like to be front and center (don’t worry, there are curtains!) M Resort also offers six of our famous “island” daybeds located between the two main infinity pools giving you a primetime CanopyDaybedsblogview and a pampered retreat for the day. Daybeds are covered with a canopy and curtains, which can be closed for extra privacy.

Need something else? Don’t worry – all cabanas and daybeds come with a personal cabana host as well as food and beverage service. Hours of operation for the main pool vary by season. 

If the party atmosphere is more your style, Daydream is right next door. At more than 12,000 square feet, our private “club” pool offers cabanas, daybeds, lounging areas, an ice-railed bar and infinity edge pool. The north deck features a hot tub and DJ platform while the south deck is home to a bar with more than 60 feet of ice-railed counters and a deck area for mingling with Daydreamchairsblogthe other minglers. 

Don’t forget there are cabanas here too! They feature amenities such as refrigerators stocked with water and soda, individual misting systems, cold towels, an iPod docking station, a safe for all your valuables, television, gaming console, free WI-FI and ceiling fans. Daydream is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with Cabana service hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cabana prices range from $75 to $175 depending on day of the week and Cabana type. For more information or to book a cabana call 702.797.1808.

 
 

Sláinte – To your health this St. Patrick’s Day

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

You may be interested to know that there are some 36.5 million U.S. residents with Irish roots – a number nine times the population of the “Emerald Isle” itself. On March 17 every year, however, we’re fairly certain the number of claimants to this heritage must skyrocket into the hundreds of millions here in the states. And why not? St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday that got its start here, as Irish patriotism grew in the late 18th century along with the population of Irish immigrants arriving here. Since 1820, some 4.8 million immigrants from Ireland have been admitted to the United States. With the proud, interesting and extensive culture and history the Irish brought with them, it’s no surprise St. Patrick’s Day celebrations not only came into being here, but also flourished. 

“Patty’s” as it’s often referred to as in Ireland, is celebrated by people of all backgrounds and nationalities, but generally StPatsblogthe largest number of celebrants and events can be found in the United States, Canada and Australia. And though these countries lay claim to the largest celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many other areas around the world including Asia, Africa and South America. In Ireland itself, St. Patrick’s Day has traditionally been a religious occasion. Recently, however, the Irish government began a national campaign to use the “holiday” as a way to drive tourism. 

Across the country tomorrow (and around the world for that matter), celebrations will be held in streets, pubs, residences and just about anywhere else you can think of. Here in Vegas, you’ll find no shortage of St. Patrick’s Day festivities in which to partake. We hope you’ll join us here at the M Resort tomorrow whether you’re Irish all the time or just for the day – you’ll find Irish drink specials at a number of locations throughout the property and if you wear green to Happy Hour at Hostile Grape (6-10pm) we’ll give you a complimentary bottle of wine while supplies last!*

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door. 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone.

Tell Us Your M Fantasy

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

CasinoFloor5blogIt was M Fantasy Night down at the Hostile Grape last night (wine deals, buy one, get one free specialty martinis and $5 all-you-can-eat appetizers in case you were wondering!) and it got us wondering what your M Fantasy might be. Post a comment on our blog telling us what your M Fantasy is (inappropriate content will be removed!) by Friday, February 26 at noon PST and the Social Media Team here at M will select the top three fantasies and post them on the M Resort Spa Casino Fan Page on Facebook where you can vote for your favorite. If you’re not yet a fan of our page, become a fan so you can vote! The person with the most votes by Friday, March 5 at noon PST will receive a $20 wine card to use at the Hostile Grape.* 

loft_0279blogSo what is your M Fantasy? Perhaps it’s a high-roller night to remember, with limo service from the airport, warm handshakes and cold champagne on arrival, cocktails at M Bar, dinner at Veloce, a spectacular run on the casino floor and a night with someone special in a loft suite.

 Are you the shooter at the craps table who throws that perfect pair of dice, everyone wins big and the crowd goes crazy? Maybe it’s putting everything on that one lucky number at the roulette table and watching that ball drop right where it’s supposed to. Flopping a royal flush? Hitting that mega-jackpot on a progressive? 

Would you like to get up in front of a live audience in the Studio B kitchen like Chef Tini Martini, with the bright lights and cameras focused on you? Showing off your culinary prowess and sharing the fantastic recipes you’ve been sharing with family and friends for years? 

Terzetto_Tomahawk__Ribeye_1blog

Maybe your M Fantasy is something as simple as dining on a perfectly prepared steak at Terzetto, paired with that cabernet from the Russian River Valley you’ve always wanted to try while sitting out on the terrace – a desert breeze on your face while watching the poolside frolickers. 

Remember we’re in Vegas, a place where fantasies can become realities. Get creative and share your M fantasy with us.

Valentine’s Weekend at M – Wine & Dine, Flirt & Fun

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

We’re fairly certain that come January 2, the grocery stores and mall shops had already sprouted a plethora of Valentine’s Day goo-gaws. From aisles dedicated to teddy bears, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and the latest and greatest Twilight-branded expression hearts, to cleverly worded “Roses are red…” poem greeting cards and a million online links to “Romantic Gifts for Him or Her,” Valentine’s Day is most definitely upon us.

Here at the M we’ve created specials for everyone – coupled or not. For the romantic twosomes, we have special Valentine’s Day menus in all our restaurants if you’re planning to celebrate with a dinner out. (Make reservations soon!) The food is divine and the views don’t get any more romantic. Check out our special Valentine’s Day menus here.

Now, for those unattached, we have a special party for you in Hostile Grape. It’s our As Single As I Wanna Be bash inside the Hostile Grape on Saturday, Feb. 13 and Sunday, Feb. 14. Wear your sexiest red stilettos ladies and go home with a complimentary bottle of wine while supplies last.
