New Hostile Grape Specials – Get Social & Get to the Grape

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Why is the grape hostile? Wouldn’t you be a little angry if you were being crushed to produce a beverage? (Albeit a spectacular beverage!) Maybe you’d be happy though, since you’d be providing the world with something wondrous. 

While the grape may be hostile, the Hostile Grape is anything but. It’s inviting. It’s sexy. It’s chic. It’s happy. That’s right, things just got a little happier in our stunning wine bar with a new array of great happy hours. For you bloggers, Tweeps, Facebook Fans and social media mavens in general, we’re having a couple nights right up your alley…or cellar as the case may be. Did I mention $5 all-you-can-eat appetizers? 160 wines by the glass?

Viva Italia!

Italian Fest
Drum roll please…the Italian Festival is back! 

 Now, some of you might remember the Italian Festival and some of you might not, so we’ll do a quick refresher course and then talk about this weekend’s big event.

First begun by the Marnell family 17 years ago at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, the Italian Festival was a locals’ favorite, attracting thousands of people over the course of the two-day event. For a decade, the Marnell family Italian Festival was the talk of the town. Now, they’ve brought it back at the M Resort – with a few added twists.

Our Italian Festival weekend is all about food, fun and entertainment for the entire family. (By the way, admission is free!) Here’s a rundown of what you can expect.

 Pasta Baby A Feast for the Senses

Stroll through our outdoor piazza and treat yourself to authentic Italian dishes like calzones, pizza, sausage and pepper sandwiches and various specialties prepared by local restaurants and our very own world-renowned chefs. We’ll also have over-the-top desserts like cheesecake, cannoli, biscotti, Italian ices and the ever-popular fried dough.

For the Bambinos
We have face painting, colorful balloon art, airbrushed tattoos and roaming stilt walkers – not to mention great live entertainment by Louis Prima Jr. on the main stage at 3, 5 and 7 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Grape Stomp
You can check out your favorite local radio and TV personalities as they compete during one of our Grape Stomping Competitions on Sunday at 2 pm.  We also have public contests throughout both days.

Spaghetti Eating Contests
If clearing your plate comes easy, save room for spaghetti and put your skills to the test at our Spaghetti Eating Contest. Kids and adults can sign up at our festival information booth.

Bocce Ball Tournaments
If a true competition is more your style, sign up for our bocce ball tournaments or free play hours.

 Farmer’s Market
Authentic Italian cuisine can only be achieved with the freshest of ingredients. Shop Italian-style at the open air Farmer’s Market and take home delicious fruits and vegetables.

Here’s a recap for the most important information.

The Details
This Saturday & Sunday, October 17 & 18
11 am to 9 pm
M Resort’s Villaggio Del Sole Outdoor Piazza
FREE Admission
Purchase tickets for food (no cash at the booths) both inside and outside on the piazza.

Hope we see you there!

 
 

JC’s Birthday at the Hostile Grape

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

bday-crowd2

Every Wednesday from 6-8 pm, JC Fernandez of MIX 94.1 hosts our weekly “Escape to the Grape” wine tastings. JC does an awesome job and when we discovered his birthday was on Monday, we couldn’t resist incorporating a special birthday celebration into this week’s event. It was the perfect way to honor our host and thank him for all of his hard work week in and week out.

As part of the birthday bash, our pastry chefs created a delicious sheet cake, complete with JC’s picture on top, for all of our guests to enjoy. JC’s No. 1 birthday request was an extra hour of musical entertainment by Mark B., Hostile Grape’s resident guitar player and singer and we were happy to make it happen. 

JC's Birthday Cake!

The man of the evening

The man of the evening

JC is a popular guy and Las Vegas loves him! A great crowd came out to enjoy the wine tasting and wish JC a happy birthday. The man of the evening also chose each of the four featured wine selections for the tasting. JC is a fan of full-bodied red wines and his picks received two thumbs up and many compliments from our guests! 

Coming up next Wednesday, August 26 – Escape to the Grape for the Battle of the Wines. Join us from 6-8 pm for special red and white wine flights and sample four featured selections for just $15.
