“As Single As You Wanna Be” Saturdays at Hostile Grape

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Many of you attended, and many more of you may have seen or heard about our “As Single As I Wanna Be” party for this past Valentine’s Day at M Resort. It was held down in our wine bar, Hostile Grape, which has one of the coolest, sexiest atmospheres of any venue in Las Vegas. We decided to give ladies who
HG-Val-Red-Heels2blogshowed up in their sexiest red stilettos a free bottle of wine and wow did that party turn into a hit! With a $20 cover getting you two specialty cocktails or a $20 wine card (and in the door too by the way) the party offered a really good time and great value for the money. 

We received a ton of comments about how there weren’t any good singles nights and events here in Las Vegas and could we, maybe, possibly, pretty please have more of these parties at Hostile Grape? Well the “pretty pleases” have been answered.

HGLounge4blog

Get Cozy – A look at M Resort accommodations

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Everyone wants to stay in a hotel that has great amenities – you’ve traveled all that way, spent your hard-earned cash and the last thing you want is to stay somewhere that doesn’t offer you a ton of great things to spend your time doing. This is a particular area of concern for properties in Vegas. Why? Unlike hotels in many other places around the world, much of your time in Vegas will be dedicated to activities on-property. But what we really wanted to talk about is something that can often be overlooked as a result of this phenomenon – accommodations.

We don’t know about you, but we think your guest room needs to be something pretty special. A property can have great gaming, fantastic restaurants, live entertainment, etc., but if you open the door to your room after checking-in and are disappointed with what you find, the entire trip is going to leave a bad taste in your mouth. Here at M Resort, we think the only taste you’ll be left with after staying in our guest rooms is something delightful. We understand that the room you return to after each day enjoying our property and the rest of Vegas needs to complement and enhance your stay. So, how about a little tour of what we have to offer:

Guest accommodations include spa bathrooms with double sinks, separate tub and shower and resort amenities. Below you’ll find a selection of some of our additional amenities as well as individual room-type descriptions:
 bathroom

Shuttle to and from the Airport & Fashion Show Mall
Marble Floors
TV in Bathroom
Bose “Wave” Sound System
42″ HD LCD Flat Screen
High Speed Internet
iPod Docking Station*
Automatic Lighting Controls for energy efficiency
*Available Upon Request

RESORT ROOM

Bed Type: One King or Double Queen
Size: 550 sq. ft.
View: Strip or Mountain View
Resort rooms are designed with a rich color palate and furnishings that I’m sure many of us would like to have in our own home. The bed(s) feature a pillow top mattress and sheets that will certainly be a welcoming touch after a night out. The executive desk is spacious, equipped with convenient outlets and high-speed internet for all your gadgets, as well as a comfortable chair.

Each resort room offers a living space that includes features like a Bose Sound System, iPod Docking station* and 42” HD LCD flat screen television. The bathroom has a marble vanity with double sinks, vanity stool, in-laid mirror, television (that’s right, every bathroom has a TV in the mirror, cool!) and separate tub and shower.
*Available Upon Request.

MResortRoom1blogEXECUTIVE RESORT BEDROOM

Bed Type: One King or Double Queen
Size: 590 – 625 sq. ft.
View: Mountain View
The Executive Resort room gives you the additional space to move around and relax. It may be a better option than the Resort if you’re staying with us a bit longer. Again there’s a spacious desk, along with high-speed Internet access and a comfortable chair providing everything you’ll need for a well-equipped workspace. The pillow top mattress and fine linens ensure a restful night’s sleep.

CLASSIC ONE BEDROOM SUITE

Bed Type: One King
Size: 1,095 sq. ft.
View: Strip or Mountain Views KingSuiteblog

If you’re looking for a bit of “Vegas wow” but don’t want to go over the top, the Classic One Bedroom Suite is just right. You’ll enjoy the separate powder room, executive office area and separate living space which is furnished with a comfortable sofa and chairs and features a 42” HD LCD flat screen television. A conversation bar and closet valet complete the suite experience.

FLAT SUITE

Bed Type: One King
Size: 1,440 sq. ft.
View: Strip and Mountain View
Breathtaking 270° Views of the Las Vegas Skyline
Now we’re getting to the really good stuff. These suites are situated on the east end of the hotel tower and therefore provide panoramic 270° views of the surrounding valley. The Flat Suite offers attention to detail that is evident from the etched glass sliding doors, to the mirrored closets and automated drapery. The living space, which includes a conversation bar, is perfect for entertaining. The Flat Suite provides one or two bedroom accommodations. 

LOFT SUITEloft0248blog

Bed Type: One King
Size: 2,400 sq. ft.
View: Strip and Mountain View
This is it. We’re warning you – if you check-in to one of the Loft Suites, you may never want to check-out. Located on the west end of the hotel tower, these suites again enjoy beautiful 270° views of the Las Vegas skyline that may also be enjoyed from the bedroom loft. That’s right, two stories of your own private Vegas playground. The spacious accommodations include private entry and two separate living areas that feature exquisite architectural details such as a stone and glass staircase and etched sliding glass doors. It is equipped with multiple HD flat screen LCD televisions (which remotely rise up from the console table downstairs and descend from the ceiling above the bed) and wet bars. The bathroom includes a freestanding spa tub with a view and separate steam shower. Two or three bedroom accommodations may be provided in a Loft Suite.

iMagine Rewards – You can use points where?!

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

SlotsblogM Resort is home to more than 92,000 square feet of gaming action. Our expansive casino floor showcases the best gaming mix in town, featuring nearly 1,900 machines and the latest and greatest in gaming technology. From pennies to $100, M Resort players enjoy a wide range of denominations fit for the casual player or high-roller. Couple this fantastic casino floor with the iMagine Rewards Club and the result is an unparalleled edge over any other Las Vegas resort. 

 So what is it about iMagine Rewards that makes it so great? Let’s face it – pretty much every casino out there has some kind of rewards program and just about every program out there operates in a similar matter – players earn points through their slot and/or table play and can in turn redeem those earned points, usually for things like free slot play, dining and branded merchandise. Well that’s all true for M Resort and its iMagine Rewards program too, but there’s definitely a few things that make benefits for members truly unique. UpCasinoFloorblog

iMagine Rewards Club offers its members an up-front, simple point-redemption policy. Players enjoy the option to redeem their points for cash, comps AND free play among other things. Our iMagine Rewards Club is all about options and lots of them. The rewards program was developed to offer the best value to our club members by allowing them to redeem their points however they choose. Guests are free to select the rewards that best suit their individual lifestyle and the result is a flexible program with something for everyone.

What really makes iMagine Rewards unique, however, are the other places players can redeem their points. Did you know M Resort has an onsite, full-service pharmacy? Gas station and car wash? Want to get a facial or massage at Spa Mio? Is fine dining your thing? If you pay for your meal with points at Veloce Cibo, Terzetto and Marinelli’s, we’ll give you a 50% discount this month. There are tons of other benefits you’ll enjoy in and around the property too.pharmacy

So what’s the bottom line? If you come and enjoy yourself here at M Resort, you should get yourself an iMagine Rewards Card – it’s free and right now new members have a choice of an M logo t-shirt or $5 in free slot play. If you don’t come to M Resort, well, you have to get down here and check us out!

Do we look a day over 1 year?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

MResorts_01_LightshipGOFireworksYesterday marked exactly one year of operation for the M Resort. On March 1, 2009 we opened our doors to the cities of Henderson, Las Vegas and beyond. What a year it’s been!  We thought we’d share some photos of our journey and highlight some M memories from our first year.

 We’ve truly enjoyed sharing our first year of operation with everyone who has visited us and we’ve had some really great events happen this last year!

Here’s a list of some of our favorite M memories from the past year of operation: spaghettieating

Signature Festivals. We turned our piazza into a community piazza. We introduced some fun festivals and community events including our Italian Festival. Who could forget watching the grape stomping and spaghetti eating contests?

Forbes Four Star Recognition. This year, we became the proud recipient of this prestigious award, a recognition rarely bestowed on first year properties.

TreeLighting3Nation’s Tallest Christmas Tree. Our 109 ft Christmas Tree proudly stood in our piazza and was a major attraction for the city. Our CEO Anthony Marnell III dedicated the tree to all the children in the Valley who would not have a tree.

Bravo’s Top Chef and Martha Stewart Living Radio. Hosting culinary heavy hitters Top Chef Season 6 and Martha Stewart Living Radio helped put the M on the map nationally and both brought attention to our passion for culinary arts.

Introducing Studio B Buffet. We love Studio B Buffet and when we opened on March 1 we introduced it to the world. It’s the first buffet to have a live action cooking studio built within the buffet. It has more than 200 items daily, includes a view and beer and wine!imagineline

Hitting Record Numbers for iMagine Reward Sign-Ups. More than 20,000 people  became iMagine Rewards members within our first TWO days of operation!

Opening Martini Time with Chef Tina Martini. Most recently, we introduced you to Chef Tina Martini. The show itself is a first for the city and a new form of entertainment – healthy entertainment.

MResorts_04_LightshipM Lightship. Although it wasn’t technically within the first year of operation, how could we leave the lightship off our favorite memories list?

Look for us to continue to focus on good service and good value and listening to you, our guests. We couldn’t have done it without our team members and without each and every one of our guests who have visited us since day one. Thank you for a wonderful first year.

You’ve read some of our favorite memories, now what’s your favorite M Resort memory from this past year?

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.

Inside Out – Outside In

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Inside out and outside in. Maybe you’ve noticed it and maybe you haven’t. There’s something about M Resort that’s different. And we’re not just talking about the great dining, gaming, entertainment, rooms, etc. We’re talking about the resort itself. Lobby

It’s a concept that comes through in the architecture and design, the materials and space. M Resort isn’t just another smoke-filled, low-ceilinged rectangle full of slot machines. It isn’t a maze designed to trap you with a fist full of twenties with nowhere to go and nothing to do but gamble. 

Lobby Bar

The resort is full of natural light. Skylights and windows are always near at hand. Restaurants flow from interior dining rooms to outdoor dining spaces. Just look at walls – follow them from inside the structure as they flow seamlessly outside. The ceilings are high; the corridors spacious and the entrances/exits always close by. There are times of day when you can actually see through the building from the outside, the glass on either side unobstructed by any clutter inside.

The woods, the glass, the tiles and fabrics – they too promote a unity with what lies beyond the walls. There’s warmth here and something inviting – nothing in your face screaming “casino.” We think that’s why it works. 

 Exterior 2Whether you come to the M to dine, to see some live entertainment, to watch the game, relax at the spa or yes, hit the slots on the casino floor, there’s something about the way the whole place is put together that provides a comfortable way of doing it. 

As we said, it may not be something you’ve noticed, but it’s probably something you’ve felt.

Nation’s Tallest Christmas Tree Gets Recycled

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

This morning with the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department, First Choice Tree Service and Federal Heath Sign Company we were able to recycle the nation’s tallest Christmas tree!

Tree-Recycle-5     

 Tree-Recycle-2

Working with the COH Parks and Recreation Department, our 109 ft. white fir was recycled as part of the City’s Christmas Tree Recycling Program. It was the last – and largest – of more than 2,000 Christmas trees recycled through the City’s program this season.

Tree-Recycle-4

It was quite a task to get our massive tree ready to be recycled. It took us four days to remove all the ornaments and lights and another day to lift the tree out of our piazza and into a space that would work for the chipping. Because of the tree’s size we had to cut it into four pieces and shave the branches down into smaller pieces to fit into the chipper. Working with Federal Heath and First Choice Tree Service – both who donated services for the project – the  branches were put through a chipper and turned into mulch.  (Pictured: Officials from the COH Henderson Parks & Recreation Deparment, M Resort and First Choice Tree Service)

Tree-Recycle-3

According to Doug Guild, CPRP Parks Operations Manager for the City of Henderson, the mulch made from our tree is equivalent to approximately 100 home Christmas trees. The mulch will be used in landscaping throughout the City of Henderson’s 50 parks.

Special thanks to KLAS Ch. 8 (CBS) and KVVU Ch. 5 (FOX) who came out for the event. You can catch the coverage on their newscasts tonight.

Welcome 2010

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

This past Thursday, with thousands of our guests, some old friends and some new faces, we welcomed 2010 with parties throughout our resort. To everyone who celebrated with us – thank you. To our fellow team members that made ringing in the New Year a success – a very special thank you.

Happy-New-Year-Sign

We have a lot of things planned this year and we’re looking forward to sharing them with all of you.

Here’s a look at some of the things the M Resort is planning for 2010:

Festivals, festivals and more festivals. Last year, we introduced the Italian Festival – a family tradition that we’re bringing back yearly. We had a summer bash for July 4 and the community event for the lighting of our Christmas tree. Let us be the first say, there is much more in store. The M team has created a stellar calendar of events and entertainment that will be fun for the entire community. We’re talking about cook-offs, pool parties and just plain-old fun-for-the-family events.

Entertainment. Plans are underway to kick our entertainment up a notch. Big things are on the horizon and we can’t wait to share the news with you. Stay tuned…

More Demonstrations in our Cooking Studio. We have just barely brushed the surface of the many capabilities of our intimate 50-seat cooking studio inside our Studio B Buffet. Last year, we welcomed several guest chefs into the studio and many of you were able to check it out. This year, we’re gearing up for more demonstrations and lots more fun.

More interaction with you. A few months ago we began our journey into the social sphere. We started our blog and we’re also on Twitter (@mresort) and Facebook. Thank you to all our fans, followers and those of you who read this blog. The interaction and real-time communication that we’ve been able to have with you has been very cool and we’re excited to see it grow. This year, you’ll see more of our team members showing their faces on video and we’ll introduce more fun tips and tidbits. We plan to continue interacting with you and showcasing the people behind the M Resort.

Thank you for your patronage and best wishes for you and your family in 2010.

Holiday Must-Haves, Must-Tastes and Must-Sees

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

We’ve set up our holiday decorations – wreaths, lights, Santa’s sleigh and the nation’s tallest Christmas Tree. In addition to all the great décor, we’ve introduced specialty holiday cocktails at our destination bars, menu items for Christmas day in our restaurants and featured seasonal specials in our patisserie. With so much to see and taste this December, we went to work to compile our list of holiday must-haves, must-tastes and must-sees while you’re at the M Resort this month.

Here are our recommendations (in no particular order):

Must-Tastes

  1. Pumpkin Apple Vanilla Muffins inside Baby Cakes (there’s also Pumpkin Almond Scones that are amazing!) Ultra-moist with just the right amount of sweetness these delicious muffins are good any time of day.
  2. Marinelli’s ravioli of winter squash, crisp pancetta, with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme pesto. A December dining favorite, the ravioli hits the spot this month. To sweeten the deal, Marinelli’s is offering a complimentary pasta entrée with the purchase of one, Sun-Thurs.
  3. The Café Saint Nick. This coffee drinks packs a great punch. It’s made with Peppermint Schnapps, Godiva Chocolate liqueur and Bailey’s Irish Cream. Of course, can’t forget to top it off with whipped cream and a candy cane!

Must-Sees

  1. Well, we had to put our tree on the list as a Must-See because it is after all the nation’s tallest Christmas Tree. It’s lit nightly on our piazza.
  2. The 35 gingerbread houses created by Clark County elementary schools. The talent and creativity of our local elementary school students and teachers will blow you away. The houses are on display under our grand staircase in front of Spa Mio. 
  3. The view from Veloce Cibo, our 16th floor restaurant on New Year’s Eve. Yes, we’re already talking about New Year’s Eve. We’re convinced the M Resort has one of the most spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip. After all, we do sit 400 feet higher in elevation than any other casino on Las Vegas Blvd. We have hotel packages available if you’d like to stay at the resort and enjoy the New Year’s celebration. The packages come with lots of additional amenities like 2-for-1 drinks, late check out and spa access. If you just want to party without the stay, you can get tickets to the different venues through Ticketmaster.

Must-Haves

  1. Gingerbread House Kit for the family.  Once you see the elementary school gingerbread houses we know you’ll want to create one of your own. We have gingerbread houses available at Baby Cakes for just $7.50.
  2. An iMagine Rewards card. Qualified members benefit all month long with free gifts including wine, champagne, holiday shirts, platters, ornaments, aprons and more.
  3. Gift card from the M Resort. Why not give an entire resort as a gift? You can purchase gift cards in any denomination to use at our spa, destination bars or restaurants. Plus, if you’re an iMagine Rewards Card member (see above about that) you receive 25% off gift cards when you use your points.  
  4. $18 wine from Baby Cakes.  Need a gift for the holiday party? A stocking stuffer for an adult? Or just want to indulge yourself? We have great Rieslings and Pinot Noirs available for just $18 inside Baby Cakes.

Decorating the Nation’s Tallest Christmas Tree @ M Resort

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Through the wind, rain and 40 degree temperatures, we’re still decorating our tree. As many of you know, our 109 ft. White Fir arrived early last week after a 900+ mile trip from Oregon on the largest allowable flatbed truck. It took a team of more than a dozen people to hoist the 22,000 pound tree into our piazza!

Well, the day was hoisted into place was the day the real work began. Our team of decorators went to work to make it prettyand decorate it with thousands of lights and ornaments. Below are photos taken today of some of the decorations going up. The tree will be completely lit with white lights and adorn with red, green and gold ornaments come Saturday.

Chirstmas-Tree-Full-View   

 Chirstmas-Tree-Decoration-Lift

Chirstmas-Tree-Decoration-sign

We can’t wait to see it shimmer and shine this Saturday night. Don’t forget to join us for the lighting of the Nation’s Tallest Christmas Tree on 12/12. Doors open at 5 pm with the official lighting at 6:30 pm. Make sure to dress warm!  We’ll have hot chocolate and Christmas cookies available too and a special thanks to Helen C. Cannon Jr High School, Las Vegas Academy’s Advanced Women Choir, Dance Zone and Phat Stad for performing live on our piazza for the event.

Don’t forget to bring a canned food item, gently used coat or new, un-wrapped toy to help us support Three Square, Catholic Charities and Toys for Tots. We offered the organizations a cabana to decorate and we can’t wait to see them!

We’ll also have gingerbread houses created by Clark County elementary schools are display too. Thank you to all the teachers – we loved your support and willingness to participate in our gingerbread house contest.
