Venue: At the Casino
Join us the week of November 15, 2007 at Paris Las Vegas for a week of Beaujolais Nouveau festivities as we celebrate the release of this year’s wine. We’ll be painting the town red – or at least lighting up the Eiffel Tower Experience in crimson in honor of this revered French tradition.
As regulated by French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is released no sooner than the third Thursday in November – six weeks after the grapes are harvested, this wine is ready to drink. Huge celebrations take place worldwide at one minute after midnight to taste the latest wine of the harvest, with 65 million bottles to be consumed in the following months.
Shortly after midnight on the 15th, bottles of Beaujolais will be delivered by horse-drawn carriage. Flanked by French security and can-can dancers, award-winning chef Jean Joho will lead guests in a ceremonial tasting at Mon Ami Gabi, the resort’s Parisian-style sidewalk café.
Guests throughout Paris Las Vegas will join in the week-long celebration. The hotel will offer samples of Beaujolais Nouveau to guests who check in on November 15 or 16.
Three of the property’s restaurants - The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi and Les Artistes Steakhouse - will feature special wine pairings and wine offerings throughout the week.
And Rock ‘n Roll Wine, known for its signature high-energy wine events, will host a Beaujolais Nouveau-themed wine tasting on Friday evening, November 16, inside Risqué, the nightclub at Paris Las Vegas. Scheduled from 7 to 10 pm, the event will feature live music by Acoustic Soul and a unique assortment of delicious world wines including Beaujolais Nouveau. Tickets will be available beginning Monday, October 22 and may be purchased by visiting www.rocknrollwine.com or calling 702-240-3066. Ticket prices, which include wine and live entertainment, are $33 in advance and $38 at the door (tax inclusive).
“We are thrilled to join wine lovers around the globe to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau, which has been a worldwide phenomenon for more than 50 years,” said Marilyn Winn, president of Paris Las Vegas. “Like St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago and Chinese New Year in San Francisco, we hope our celebration will become an annual event that both locals and visitors greatly anticipate.”
