Pampering

Spa Mio, our award-winning four-star spa and salon, offers the perfect opportunity to provide mom with the spa day she’s always wanted but may have never asked for. With services like manicures, pedicures, massages and facials and packages for moms who are short-on-time, like The Mommy Express package, or for moms who would enjoy an entire spa day, like our Mio Relaxation Day package, Spa Mio has options to suit any budget and any mom. Plus, anytime you book a service at our spa, you also receive full access to our spa amenities for the day including the steam room and sauna. If you’re just not sure what she’d like, purchase a Spa Mio gift card and leave the choice up to her.

Dining

If you’ll be taking Mom out this Mother’s Day, relax to the soothing sounds of live piano while enjoying a delicious Italian brunch at Marinelli’s, our Italian restaurant. Presenting a three course brunch with choice of appetizer, entrée and White Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Gelee for dessert, Marinelli’s will provide Mom with a taste of Italy at its finest. Ghalib Ghallab will add to this special day playing the piano all afternoon. For a special touch, request a song for Mom!

A Custom Gift

Now if your mom loves our resort (which we hope she does), we recommend creating a custom gift basket full of some of the best items our resort has to offer…after all, you could say “M” is for Mom…Fill it with a gift card to our resort, a wine card or better yet, a bottle of her favorite wine from the Hostile Grape, a sweet treat from Baby Cakes (they offer take home pints of gelato), Spa Mio candles (they are pure soy in scents like Love Spell and Green Tea) and maybe even bed sheets from Spa Mio (trust us, they are amazing!).

Do you have other ideas for pampering Mom at our resort? Or are you planning the perfect four-star Mother’s Day for your mom? We’d love to hear how you’re planning to pamper Mom – comment below!

With more than 50 percent of Americans drinking coffee every day, we’d say it’s a drink that’s pretty important to a lot of people. If you’ve traveled then you know that there are lots of resorts that offer coffee – the in-room coffee maker resorts, coffee-served-in-the-lobby resorts, coffee-can-only-be-ordered-by-room-service resorts and then there’s the M Resort.

Here at the M, you’ll find fresh brewed coffee inside our patisserie called Baby Cakes, a quaint coffee shop and bakery located right off our lobby and next to our guest room elevators. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill coffee shop and bakery. The coffee is brewed from whole beans that are freshly ground and prepared with just the right amount of cream, sugar, caramel, vanilla, or whatever you desire to put a spring in your step.

And it’s not just your classic Americano that is served. Baby Cakes offers selections like Café Au Lait, Café Latte, Café Mocha, Espresso, Frappe, Caramel Macchiato and so much more. Of course, there are iced coffee selections as well and a variety of assorted teas and sugar free syrup options.

Now, a morning pick-me-up wouldn’t be successful without a pastry (or two). You can select from items like fruit tarts, Italian doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, Danishes, muffins, and our personal favorite almond croissants. All are made fresh daily in our bakery. For healthy options, Baby Cakes also has a variety of fresh fruit, parfaits and oatmeal.

Baby Cakes is open Sunday-Thursday from 6 am to 10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 6 am to 11 pm. 

Our shakes are anything but vanilla, the gelato and sorbet used in each creamy treat is homemade right here at M. Baby Cakes can whip up a shake with your favorite flavor or a mix, using our eighteen different gelatos and sorbets and other ingredients. The milkshakes themselves are crafted by blending whole milk with our delectable frozen sorbets and gelatos. They can blend together anything you desire, one of their signature shakes the Java Rush features Baby Cakes’ signature coffee, chocolate chip gelato, espresso and espresso beans all topped with whipped cream, caramel and chocolate sauce.

If you’re a fan of something a bit more tart, an Italian soda will do the trick. You can create your own treat using a combination of fifteen different flavored syrups including Raspberry, Candied Orange, Lime and Banana. Or, choose from one of Baby Cakes’ featured sodas, Cherry Limeade, Peaches ‘n Cream, Orange Creamsicle and Summer Breeze. The Italian sodas are prepared with flavored syrup, Perrier and half and half floated on top of the drink.

Smooth, sweet and cold, these treats are just the ticket to keeping you cool in our sweltering summer days.

Throughout the resort, specifically in Baby Cakes and Studio B Buffet, we proudly display evidence of our bakery team's talent (surely in an effort to get you to inquire about our amazing sweet creations!). But what goes in to creating one of these elaborate cake displays? The designs themselves are brainstormed by our professional pastry decorators. The team seasonally researches new recipe trends and then creates a variety of concepts making upwards of ten display cakes seasonally. Ingredients like rolled fondant (an icing-like substance), butter cream, hand-spun sugar toppers, and a gum base are carefully formed to create a lasting breathtaking model. These beautiful cake displays are very labor intensive, with each taking up to a full day to complete.

Our message to you is simple; if you can dream it; our bakery team and cake decorators can make it happen. The edible version of each display cake can feed hundreds of people and our bakery takes custom orders for weddings, special events or any occasion that an extravagant treat is needed!

So what's the appeal of petite pastries? Any dish twice as small as its original somehow becomes twice as irresistible. The bite-sizes allow you to indulge and sample many different treats without the temptation of devouring an entire cake or pie. Some of our most popular small sweets include classics like tiramisu, ?clairs and good old fashioned cheesecake.

Our bakery team has mastered the art of scaling down full-size recipes into the smaller portions that our guests love. The recipes don't have to be altered much, just the portioning of the actual treat. The real task is in the d?cor, the decorations on each pretty pastry are smaller and more intricate than its full-sized counterparts.

These guilt-free indulgences aren't just good for your diet; they're also good for your wallet. Miniature pastries at Baby Cakes go for about $2, a small price to pay for desserts whipped up by a gourmet pastry chef. At Studio B, all the sweet treats you can devour are included in the price of your meal.

Have you had a bite of any of our mini pastries before? Leave a comment below and let us know which ones are your favorite.

Our resort likes its Italian flare, whether it's the design of the property or the food we serve. You can get your dolce (Italian for dessert) fix from our very own Italian restaurant Marinelli's. They serve up classics from "the old country" like Tiramisu, Cannolis, Bombolinis, Panna Cotta and more. At our steakhouse Anthony's, you can find some of the newest dessert options at M. Try their signature Peanut Butter Pie, Chocolate Souffl? or maybe their spin on Coffee & Donuts will be the perfect ending to your meal.

For desserts with a twist, try Hash House A Go Go's Chocolate Snickers Bread Pudding. This take on a modern candy bar is homemade bread pudding baked with chunks of Snickers candy bars and Hershey’s chocolate syrup and topped with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, homemade caramel sauce and chocolate syrup.

If you find it hard to choose just one dessert (and we always do) Veloce offers a dessert tasting. You can select from one, two or even three delectable desserts to try at once! The restaurant offers choices like a Mini Strawberry Martini (not the kind you drink), Bananas Foster and Chocolate Torte.

At Studio B Buffet, not only can you sample cuisine from around the world, you can get a sampling of desserts from around our property! Try miniature samplings of cr?me br?l?e, cookies, cupcakes, meringue, gelato, macaroons and much more. And remember, they're all you can eat!

Sometimes you like something so much you want to take it home with you. At Baby Cakes, M's very own European-inspired patisserie you can find a whole case of sugary sweetness to please any craving. They also offer a full gelato station with 19 flavors by the scoop (they can even be bought by the pint).

With all this sweet talk we're getting hungry! So tell us, what's your favorite dessert at M?

The Main Lobby stairs are just waiting for you to climb.

So you indulged at our buffet and maybe had a cupcake (or two) from our bakery and washed it all down with one of our 96 beers on tap. There's nothing wrong with this (we're all about indulging), but even during your getaway in Vegas you'll want to stay in shape with places like DayDream Pool Club to hang out at. We know it's hard to make it to the gym, especially when you're traveling, so we're here to offer you a few travel-friendly fitness tips that you can practice here at M or wherever you might be traveling.

Take the stairs. We know elevators are much more convenient, but think of the burn you'll feel after walking from our casino level to our pool and spa level, or even all the way down to our wine cellar, Hostile Grape. Your lungs will thank you and you’ll thank yourself when you look at your killer legs.

Bring your running shoes. Why not add a little motion in your day? Lace up your sneakers and take a tour inside and outside our resort. We’re situated on more than 90 acres and with an expansive 100,000 square foot pool deck, you’ll have lots of time to get your fresh air fix, plus we have lots of great art to gaze at while walking around indoors.

The Fitness Center inside Spa Mio at the M.

Stay hydrated. It's a desert out there (no really, it is). Be sure to drink lots of water, it will help keep your body going and increase your metabolism so you burn more calories than normal, and it also helps maintain your muscle tone.

Bring your yoga mat. Starting or ending your day with yoga does the body good. And, rolling up your yoga mat and packing it for your trip takes a minimal amount of time and space. You can even practice your yoga moves in the privacy of your own hotel room.

If you’re more of a gym person, we also have a world-class fitness center available for your use; did we mention it has a pool view?

An array of hand-crafted cupcakes available at Baby Cakes.

Cupcakes: the delectable little desserts that we just can't get enough of. They've taken the pastry world and the reality TV world by storm and now they've taken over here at the M! Cupcake connoisseurs can find our new signature line of the tasty treats at Baby Cakes, our European-inspired patisserie. Introduced just last week, there are nine mouthwatering cupcake flavors waiting for you to sink your sweet tooth into.

Our very own pastry chef Jean Claude Canestrier developed all the flavors of the cupcake confections. We visited Jean Claude to get the dish on the tasty treats.

Cupcake production has taken off running with our bakery churning out more than ten dozen cupcakes daily. Jean Claude's recipe for success lies in the details. Each crafted cake went through a taste test by the entire bakery team before the final flavors were chosen and the delicate chocolate toppers you see on some of the little cakes are handmade and individually painted.

The cupcakes that made the cut:

• Orange Chocolate - Diced candied orange, ganache and milk chocolate mousse
• Banana Caramel - Banana, caramel filling and banana frosting
• Double Chocolate - Ganache filling and milk chocolate mousse
• Red Velvet - Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting
• Chocolate Peanut Butter - Chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling and peanut butter icing
• Coconut Pineapple - White coconut cake with pineapple filling, an apricot glaze and coconut frosting
• Carrot Pineapple - Carrot cake with pineapple filling and cream cheese icing
• White and White - Classic white cake and white icing never tasted so good
• Lemon Raspberry - Lemon cake with raspberry filing and Chantilly cream icing

What's Jean Claude's favorite you might ask? Since he created all the cupcakes he insists that he can't choose - each one is magnifique! But, the Chocolate Orange is his specialty.

Since they're just as much a treat for the eyes that they are for the mouth, check out the master chef at work, decorating a dozen Red Velvet cupcakes, our most popular flavor.

Ravello Lounge isn't just a great place to see live entertainment - it's also home to some pretty amazing technology. Not only are there more than 40 screens built into the walls that can showcase the onstage entertainment, but the large panels next to the screens can be programmed to visually match audio beats and more through visual representation.

Spring will be sprung in the not too distant future and you know what that means?! Wedding season. If you're looking for a spectacular custom cake creation for your special day or other special occasion, we can make just about anything you can dream up.

And speaking of cake, let's talk Baby Cakes. These are some of the custom tiles you'll find here inspired by European patisseries. It's the details that make all the difference, not to mention some unbelievably good pastries!

With warmer weather on the way, it's almost time to start enjoying dining al fresco. Veloce, Marinelli's, Terzetto and Hash House all feature great outdoor terraces where you can enjoy your meal, the weather and spectacular views of the pool area and Strip.

Hmmm, what to enjoy out on the terrace? How about some of the amazing cocktails Veloce is offering for Happy Hour in their bar & lounge? Red Sangria, Peach White Sangria and Rocks Margaritas with a superb selection of top-shelf tequilas for just $5 are all excellent choices.

Back to those details. When we have meeting/conference groups here with us at M, we do our utmost to show them we appreciate their choosing M Resort. From custom welcome messages on our marquee to these super-cool light-logos displayed in the water features behind check-in, we want you to feel welcome and appreciated.

And when you're in those meetings? Let's face it, meeting rooms can be a bit dull at times, but like the rest of M, we did our best to incorporate some amazing fixtures and fittings that add a little extra something.

Okay, so more d?cor, but you have to admit this is cool. These backlit, woven-metal walls can be found outside Studio B and also inside Spa Mio.

Nobody likes to have to go to the doctor, but it sure is nice to have one right down the corridor. M Family Care is like any other doctor's office, it's just located inside M Resort!
