In its debut year Ravella at Lake Las Vegas has been awarded the esteemed AAA Four Diamond Award® for 2012, one of the hospitality industry’s most prestigious honors.

This award distinguishes Ravella as one of the most exclusive hotels in North America. More than 31,000 properties are AAA approved, but only four percent are presented with the prestigious honor of being considered Four Diamond. It is even rarer for hotels to attain the rating within the first year of operation.

“We are honored to receive the esteemed AAA Four Diamond Award in our debut year,” said Mario Mazzini, general manager of Ravella. “Ravella is committed to providing quality service, amenities and accommodations to our guests, and this recognition acknowledges the hard work and dedication of our entire team.”

AAA Nevada spokesperson Michael Geeser said, “By earning a AAA Four Diamond award in its first year of operation, Ravella has shown that it delivers exceptional experience in luxury and service.”

To be considered for AAA rating and approval, lodgings undergo a thorough evaluation by AAA’s full-time tourism inspectors. AAA experts judge lodgings on the exterior of the facility, public areas, guest rooms, amenities and bathrooms. Restaurants are evaluated on criteria including food, service, décor and ambiance.

The AAA Four Diamond Award distinction symbolizes Ravella’s ongoing commitment to superior quality and service. Four Diamond properties provide an exceptional degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail while offering upscale facilities and a variety of luxurious amenities.

At both Andre’s at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino and Alizé at the Top of the Palms, the wine collection is vast. With so many selections, guests now will find it easier than ever to select the perfect wine accompaniment to Andre’s imaginative French cuisine beginning this evening, Monday, July 25 with the use of SmartCellar. The new technology allows diners to make wine selections from an Apple® iPad®. Once Andre’s and Alizé launches with 40 of the SmartCellar devices, they will be amongst the first restaurants in Las Vegas currently utilizing this technology.

How it works: upon seating, instead of a printed wine list, guests will be offered an easy-to-navigate iPad, immediately enabling them to browse and select a wine based on sparkling, red, white, fortified or sweet. They also will be able to choose if they would like the wine by the bottle, half bottle, by the glass or a larger format. Additional touch-pad links will include the ability to search wines by name, region, varietal and price. The device also will feature premium liquors, beers, specialty cocktails, food pairings, menu items and any additional beverages offered that evening at Andre’s. The sommelier will be able to also use the device to educate diners on the wines and make recommendations utilizing the device in hand.

“We’re fortunate to be amongst the first to offer this unique system,” said Patrick Trundle, beverage director, Andre’s and Alizé. “This is an amazing system and one we believe makes the guest experience much more enjoyable. There are so many interesting facts relating to wine, and SmartCellar provides more information than a printed list ever could. We have no doubt guests will like using it.”

SmartCellar’s developer Incentient, LLC is a worldwide leader in “at-the-table-technology.” The technology is drastically changing the dining experience not only for guests, but also for sommeliers/wine directors and restaurateurs. SmartCellar operates wirelessly on a secure Intranet installed through an onsite server. The technology can operate in any size restaurant or bar, for both indoors and out. Each device is fully customizable and can hold as little or as much information as the restaurant desires. All updates are made in real-time, ensuring the presented information is always accurate. The devices also enable Andre’s to be green by eliminating the need for paper and other materials traditionally needed for printed lists.

Pat Martucci, founder and CEO of Incentient, said “This technology improves the overall food and beverage experience from start to finish.”

For more information about Andre’s, call (702) 798-7151 or for Alizé, (702) 951-7000 or go to www.andrelv.com.

Las Vegas is famous for its “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” mind-set, but for two visiting tourists and a handful of those who witnessed the moment, there is little chance they won’t share the story of this weekend for years to come.

It was a night of surprises for a bride-to-be as her boyfriend, Jim Canfield popped the question at Bally’s Las Vegas with the help of the property’s gaming staff. The couple traveled from San Diego to celebrate her birthday, but Canfield had other plans in store. The famous Colossus slot machine inside Bally’s Casino was arranged beforehand so it would land on the words “Will You Marry Me” when Canfield’s girlfriend pulled the handle.

Shocked and surprised, she could not stop smiling and laughing as Canfield got down on one knee with a ring in hand. He affirmed that Bally’s Las Vegas will always hold a special place in his heart. Vegas was the perfect location for the proposal as he said, “I feel like I hit the jackpot when I met her so I wanted her to feel like she hit the jackpot today. ”

After accepting the creative proposal, the couple kissed and posed for the cameras and onlookers that had gathered around the oversized slot machine nicknamed “Big Bertha. ” The newly engaged couple then celebrated the special occasion with a romantic dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas.
