It seems there’s a stigma that 
goes along with high limit rooms in Vegas. “I must not be able to play in there.” “You have to 
have a ton of money to play in there.” “Only the VIP’s can get in that room.” None of these are true of the high limit salon here at M Resort. Anyone can play in the high limit salon and while it’s true the limits are higher than you’d find out on the main floor, you don’t need to come walking in w
ith a suitcase full of money (though, we’re not going to stop you either!) You can bet in the high limit salon with as little as $5. Remember, if you’re betting more, you have the opportunity to win more. And let’s be honest, every guest is a VIP at M Resort.
The high limit salon here at M is tucked into a quiet corner on the main floor next to Marinelli’s. You’ll see some stunning chandeliers marking the entry as well as a lovely disc of polished hardwood inlaid with our distinctive M Resort logo. The salon is elegant, but not pretentious. It’s cozy and inviting featuring warm colors and textures and an all-around comfortable atmosphere. One wall is shared with the spectacularly crimson-ill
uminated glass wine cellar in Marinelli’s. You’ll find another set of sparkling chandeliers above you, an inviting fireplace next to you and a smiling and helpful staff all around you.
What can you play in the high limit salon? It features four bar-top electronic poker machines with $5 and $10 limits. (Yes, there’s a lovely full-bar waiting for you!) There are also a variety of table games to choose from – a midi-baccarat table with limits of $100 – $10,000 per hand, four blackjack tables with limits of $100 – $5,000 per hand (the dealer stands on soft 17 and guests can choose the “surrender” option on shoe games), and you’ll also find a single-zero roulette table with limits of $100 – $300 on inside bets and $100 – $3,000 on outside bets, not to mention a spectacular view overlooking the pool. Where else can you “bet the inside” and enjoy a view of the real outside at the same time? Need to take a break? There’s an outdoor terrace where you can relax. 
The high limit salon is open Monday through Thursday from noon to 2 a.m. and opens at noon on Friday staying open continuously until the following Monday at 4 a.m. So next time you visit us here at M Resort, stop by the high limit salon – place a bet and enjoy the elegant comfort, high roller or average Joe.
*Please note that limits and available games are subject to change.
I was motivated by hunger awareness very early on, as my mother’s family was very impoverished. She had little to eat and spent most of her time as a child malnourished. Because of this, she lost all her teeth by the time she was 18. She suffered with poor health her entire life. I started going to shelters in and around my home town of San Diego and cooking for the holiday dinners. I also began baking dinner rolls and making mini sandwiches for the after school lunch programs. Kids really rely on the meals they get in school. The after school lunch programs prevent these kids from going hungry on the weekends and during summer break. I am so grateful for the opportunity to help fight hunger in my new home town. As a chef it is my responsibility, as I see it, to feed hungry people. Working with Three Square Food Bank has shown me that when people come together for no other reason than compassion and sharing, we can heal each other in ways we’ve never thought. Remember the legend of the stone soup…sharing assures we’ll all have enough. 
Really – who wants to work out and stare at a blank wall or a bunch of other people working out? Not us and not you. That’s why here at

Themed games have also always been popular on floors. Is it a culture like ancient Egypt you’re interested in, or perhaps a trip to London? Maybe it’s just an activity, like fishing. One of the newer trends in slots are themes based on popular culture. Reality TV shows like “Amazing Race” and game shows such as “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” are represented. Even blockbuster films are getting their chance on the floor with games like “Sex and the City.”
Ultimately, there’s a game that’s entertaining and fun for just about any taste. We all have our favorites – old and new – and there are surely many more amazing things to come in the future for slots. Whatever your game, we hope you’ll join us here at

We’re also doing a frozen soufflé and a bubbly peach Bellini this week which are both light and refreshing for summer. If you are grilling this holiday weekend, here are a few tips you may enjoy:

Notice the color of the wine. It often helps to hold the glass up to light or hold it against a white background like a white napkin. The color can give you a clue as to the age of the wine. White wines generally gain color as they age. Red wines generally lose color. That is, young red wines are more red or burgundy while older wines tend to show a hint of tawny brown around the rim. Regardless of age, the colors of wine are just fun to see, ranging from pale yellow-green to ruby red to brick red-brown.
Put your nose right over the rim of the wine glass and breathe in. Take note of the wine’s aromas and bouquet (the range of smells a particular wine possesses).
Wedding season is in full swing and Vegas just happens to be the wedding capital of the world. With all that matrimony in the air, we decided to offer you an event that’s all about weddings. 
Yesterday, June 21, was the summer solstice (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) and what is often described as the “official” start of summer. Well, if you don’t know much about the summer solstice, it’s when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer and the farthest north the sun “moves” in the sky. (Let us not forget what we were taught in school and remember that it’s the earth that’s actually moving!) “Solstice” comes from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the sun’s path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction.The summer solstice occurs around June 20 or 21 and for all our friends in the southern hemisphere, it’s their winter solstice. Brrrr. 
The summer solstice is the official astronomical start of summer. From a meteorological standpoint, summer is generally classified as the months of June, July and August and therefore starts the first of June. From a Vegas standpoint, well, summer pretty much feels like May through October. We think that’s just perfect though because let’s face it, there are a lot of people who either live and work here or visit because of all the sunshine. Our lowest monthly average possibility of sunshine? 77 percent for January. The highest? Right now, at 93 percent for June. That means there are about 28 sunny days in June. Nice. 
be deceiving. You have to remember just how large these buildings are and that they often appear closer than they really are. If you’re going to “walk it,” give yourself more time than you think you’ll need, make some pit-stops and be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen. Third, if you decide to take a cab, you should know they aren’t legally allowed to stop on the street and pick you up. There’s no waving your hand or whistling for a taxi here in Vegas – you’ll need to go to the entrance of a property or other area where the cabs are able to safely pull off the street. That cab driver isn’t ignoring you – just obeying the law. Fourth, visit

Unlike some properties where the uniforms seem to match the riotous carpet, the uniforms at M are simple and classy. Before the property was even a hole in the ground, planning for uniforms began. M chose to work with 
While Cintas provides a multitude of “standard” uniform selections for every position from cocktail server to dealer, housekeeper to bellman and beyond, approximately 75 percent of the uniforms you’ll find gracing the team members at M Resort are custom. Because the property itself is so distinctive, the uniforms themselves were created to harmonize with the surroundings. You’ll find dark chocolate browns, silky creams, deep red tones and crisp black suits. 
But what about the service side of things? How is it that we manage to provide clean uniforms every day for all those team members? And for that matter, how is it that they even get those uniforms every day? M Resort worked with Cintas to design an automated facility and system allowing team members to simply walk up to a window, identify themselves with their M Resort ID, and like magic, their uniform appears. Operating much like machines you see at a drycleaners, the uniforms rotate on large racks (M’s room houses three that hold 600+ garments apiece) which are controlled by computers. You’ll also find a few full-time and highly skilled tailors for repairs and alterations. 
What does this magic uniform room mean to you as a guest? Part of M Resort’s 4-star rating includes our ability to provide express garment service. Lost a button on your blouse just before that big meeting? Tore the pocket on your trousers? Not to worry – we’ve got things all sewn up.
