With only a few days left in the New Year, we're planning something special for those who are spending their last hours of 2011 at M. Our resort is the perfect spot to party on New Year's Eve, so be sure to make this year one to remember and celebrate whichever way you please. We've got entertainment, dining and parties for every taste and budget complete with a champagne toast at midnight for our guests.

Party

We think cover charges are overrated so we invite our guests to celebrate without waiting in line or paying an entry fee. We'll be offering complimentary party favors, and cake and champagne stations throughout our casino. Toast the New Year with us and enjoy live entertainment beginning at 9pm in Lobby Bar, Ravello Lounge, M Bar and Hostile Grape. See which venue is the right fit for your celebration style.

Ravello Lounge - The New Year's evening will kick off in our lounge with go-go dancers and a DJ spinning hits to get the party started, beginning at 9pm. At 10pm, 80's tribute band Loveshack will take the stage and sing the best of the 80's and 90's and some NYE-style party music. The entertainment in Ravello will be going all night long and is ideal for our high-energy party goers.

Lobby Bar - Relax at Lobby Bar and take in a performance by Lowkey Junction. The band is a unique blend of masterful music mixes, live percussion and saxophone. With the best people-watching views, Lobby Bar is the perfect fit for a relaxed New Year's celebration.

M Bar - For those who like to be at the center of all the action, M Bar is for you. Located in the middle of our casino floor, DJ Simon and go-go dancers will be kicking off this party at 9pm. Get there early for a seat on M Bar's cushy couches or get your groove on to the tunes DJ Simon will be spinning.

Hostile Grape - Take a sip of more than 160 wines by the glass in our underground wine hideaway. Veteran DJ Art will be mixing up the music for the night for the oenophiles.

Play

End the year with good luck here at M! We'll be giving away $24,000 in free pay randomly beginning at 8pm on New Year's Eve. Every 15 minutes we'll be drawing 10 winners. Two players will win $300, four players will win $150 and another four will win $100. All you have to do is play with your iMagine Rewards Card to be eligible.

Not to be outdone, our poker room will be giving away a grand share of money as well. Play with us and you could win the following: Heart Royal = $2,012; Club Royal = $2,012; Diamond Royal = $2,012 and Spade Royal = $2,012. All Four of a Kinds = $212 and the poker room will have $2,012 in cash giveaways. Complete details can be found in the M Poker Room.

Dine

Our restaurants will be ready for you to kick-off the New Year's festivities. Marinelli's, our authentic Italian restaurant will be offering a la carte specialty items in addition to its regular menu beginning at 4pm and our steakhouse, Anthony's will be serving up a limited menu for the holiday starting at 5 pm. And of course, Studio B Buffet will be serving specialty dishes all day.

No matter which way you decide to spend your holiday night, we hope to have you at M to celebrate 2012! We wish all of our guests a happy and safe New Year.

Our Dragon & Lion Dance in celebration of Chinese New Year was spectacular! There are videos and more pics available on our Facebook page if you're interested!

RavelloWallRavello 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.

LavendarCakeSpring 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.

BabyCakesTileAnd 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!

RestaurantTerraceWith 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.

VeloceDrinksHmmm, 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.

PumaImageBack 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.

MeetingsFixtureAnd 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.

WovenMetalWallOkay, 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.

MFamilyCareNobody 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!

Our celebration kicks off at 1 pm with a public viewing party inside Ravello Lounge. Equipped with 42 TVs, you can relax in the lounge's comfortable seats while enjoying $10 buckets of Bud and Bud Light, $3 Cuervo Orange Margaritas on the rocks and $2 Cuervo shots. Stadium-style food specials start at 2 pm with favorites including hamburgers, buffalo chicken wings, Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches, potato chips and more available for purchase with items starting at just $1.50!

  • $10 buckets of Bud and Bud Light 12 oz. bottles

For guests looking to bet on the game, the Cantor-operated race and sports book at the M Resort offers the perfect location. Guests are free to bet traditionally or use Cantor's In-Running wager, allowing them to bet continuously throughout the game.

The fun doesn't start or stop with the game however, as New Year's Eve entertainment headliner Wes Quave returns for encore performances on Thursday and Friday from 9 pm to 1 am and Saturday from 6:30 pm to 2 am in Ravello Lounge.

We hope you'll make M Resort your place for the Big Game! See you Sunday!

Why? Well, it's a party of course and there's nowhere better to party than Sin City. If you're a local or have been a visitor here for New Year's Eve, you'll know that because it's such a party night, you'll often end up paying exorbitant prices in restaurants for pre fixe menus and overpriced drinks as well as pretty much feel as if you've been robbed getting past that velvet rope at the club. That's all if you can make your way through the traffic and find somewhere to park. Yikes.

Here at M we're inviting guests young and old to enjoy our Forbes Four-Star resort your way with a NYEblog3celebration to suit every taste and all price points. With no cover charges or pre fixe menus, you’re free to dine at your leisure, dance the night away or enjoy the thrill of red-hot gaming action and a champagne toast at midnight.

We’ll offer complimentary party favors and cake and champagne stations throughout the property's 92,000 square foot casino and live entertainment in the Lobby Bar, entertainment lounge, Ravello, and popular wine bar, Hostile Grape, which features more than 160 wines by the glass. A designated area outside Hostile Grape in Villaggio Del Sole pool piazza will be set-up for those who want to leisurely party by the pool.

With a vantage point 400 feet above the Las Vegas Strip properties, you’re invited to view the fireworks from the M Resort's six terraces including our 16th floor restaurant, Veloce Cibo. All three of our fine dining restaurants, Marinelli's, Terzetto and Veloce NYEblog1Cibo, will accept reservations for the evening and will offer standard menus. Hash House A Go Go will add special items to its popular "twisted farm food" menu for the evening.

DINING

  • Veloce Cibo - 5pm to 1am or later
  • Terzetto - 5pm to 10pm or later
  • Marinelli's - 4pm to 10pm or later
  • Hash House A Go Go - 7am to 2am

    • ENTERTAINMENT

  • NYEblog2Lobby Bar - 7pm Mark B

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.

    80spoolpartyblogThe 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.

Well, we were listening. 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, 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 'cause the Steve Miller Band is coming to town.

    Budweiser presents the Jack FM Party Zone here at M Resort from 7-9 pm Friday, May 21. With a general admission ticket starting at just $39.99, you'll have access to the Party Zone AND one of the most legendary rock bands of all time. There will be drinks, dancing and some might fine prize giveaways too if you like free stuff. Get your tickets now at Ticketmaster.com and join us in the Party Zone 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.

    TimMcGrawblogWhat about those performers? Did you know that beneath that stage you'll find a rather swank 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).

    If 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.

    journeyblogWhy 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. Ticket prices are $85, $74.50 and $53.50 all inclusive. All seats are reserved seating.
