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.

The Race and Sports Book at Wynn Las Vegas is now accepting wagers on the $10,000 No Limit Texas Hold ‘em Poker Main Event Championship to be held November 5 – 7 in Las Vegas. Wagers can be placed on each of the final nine players to win the event or on the top two finishers (quinella).

New Nevada gambling regulations this year allow casinos to offer wagering opportunities on non-sporting events. On July 15, the Nevada Gaming Control Board provided approval to accept wagers on the $10,000 No Limit Texas Hold ‘em Poker Main Event Championship.

Wynn Las Vegas became the first Las Vegas casino to offer wagers on non-sporting events in early July, when the Race and Sports Book accepted bets on the preliminary rounds of the No Limit Texas Hold ‘em Poker tournament. Lines included whether a woman would finish higher than 40th and whether poker legends Johnny Chan, Allen Cunningham or Erik Seidel would win money in the event.

“This is a great event for wagers,” said Wynn Race and Sports Director Johnny Avello. “Not only will gamblers be betting on other gamblers, but non-gamblers who just have a love of poker and follow this event every year can get in on the action too.”

Wynn Race and Sports Book Director, John Avello, has been providing entertainment odds on the Academy Awards, the Emmys, the Golden Globes, beauty and other popular reality competition shows for more than three years.

The Siegel Group, owner of Las Vegas’ newest hit property, Rumor Boutique Hotel, invites anyone with the dream of owning a hotel for the night, to pick a date, and pick up their 150 keys. The intimate, boutique chic property is offering individuals, companies or groups the ability to reserve the entire hotel for just $13,000 per night.  No other guests.  No fighting for the best suite or wondering who you will find in the lounge or down at the pool. All for the cost of what one villa might fetch on the Strip.

Having debuted in late summer of 2010, Rumor was an immediate success, and quickly garnered accolades from the press and the public alike.  Evoking a Las Vegas-meets-Palm Springs hotel with a Los Angeles feel, Rumor is infused with unconventional design that creates a cozy, boutique resort atmosphere.  Featuring not only distinctive character and charm, it also serves-up an environment that makes it perfect for private events ranging from outdoor concerts to multi-stage DJ extravaganzas to intimate and private weddings.

“We wanted to create a hotel experience which was unconventional and fun, yet definitely urban and sophisticated,” explains Stephen Siegel, founder and chief executive officer, The Siegel Group.   “A sense of playfulness and intrigue greets our guests as soon as they enter, and they immediately notice no big check-in area, noisy casino or winding lines.  We have completely transformed the way people will think about Las Vegas by offering personal customer service in an intimate environment. With only 150 rooms, we thought why not offer the entire hotel for an affordable price?  Who hasn’t wanted to play like Eloise did at the famed Plaza for just one night,” quips Siegel.

From the décor to the staff, everything about Rumor defies the usual Las Vegas experience. Guests of Rumor are greeted by Chinese foo dogs, hand carved from solid slabs of distinctly colored cantera stone.  The porte cochère is perfectly framed in flowing drapes and the check-in area leads directly to the lounge; bypassing the usual Vegas-style 25,000 square foot thumping club.  Rumor offers a truly cozy and inviting space to see, and be seen in.  As soon as guests enter through the 10-foot glass doors, they are met with soothing ivory and white tones and are quickly engulfed into the laid-back, yet sexy personality of the hotel.

For the price of just an event space in other hotels, Rumor Hotel features all deluxe suites with private patios and balconies, intimate sitting rooms and luxurious oversized soaking tubs.  The buyout also features the use of a stunning outdoor grass event area and pool deck outfitted with crisp white cabanas and the hotel’s premiere restaurant and courtyard, Addiction.

Package Details:
Total per night is $13,000 (excludes food & beverage, taxes and gratuity).  Offer is good from June 15, 2011 to December 27, 2011 and is based on availability.

Located where Paradise meets Harmon, RUMOR is directly across the street from the famed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.  RUMOR is part of The Siegel Group’s Boutique Chic Retreats collection.  Sister properties include Artisan; The Resort on Mount Charleston; Gold Spike and Oasis at Gold Spike.
For room reservations or more information, call (877) 99-RUMOR

See the specific location of the only resort room furnished like a tower suite! I’ll show you how this resort room ending in #17 connects to huge tower suite ending in #01 and the way in from either side of the hotel. I always request a 17 room at Wynn.
