Barry’s got a new website…technically an additional website: MyManilowPhotos.com. Fans can put beautiful “Music & Passion” frames around their own photos; create custom products, e.g. like t-shirts and mouse pads, and print out photos that they’ve taken at events -- all made quick and easy on the site. The Manilow folks are also introducing the first Manilow customizable book. They’ve put all never-before released photos of Barry into a tour book that is available on the site. Barry is performing at the Las Vegas Hilton.
American Airlines is starting new service to Las Vegas from JFK on September 6. The airline is putting together passenger bags containing promotional items. On board with the promotion is Menopause The Musical® at the Las Vegas Hilton, which donated ten pairs of tickets to the popular show. The show opened at the Hilton on February 1, 2006, and became an immediate hit.
The Latin Food Festival at the Las Vegas Hilton, presented by the Latin Chamber of Commerce on August 19, features more than 30 restaurants representing the flavors of Latin America. Latino restaurants will utilize this central venue for promoting their products, expanding their businesses, and cross-market with different suppliers. For more information, call Mark Maniscalco at the chamber at 592-7219.
“Lunchtime With Ira, Live from the Las Vegas Hilton,” a Television-Radio-Internet show that normally broadcasts from the Hilton’s Shimmer Cabaret, is on its weekly “Vegas Summer Tour” around the city. Next week’s show broadcasts from Ethel’s Chocolate Lounge at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens. The show airs locally on Clark County Television (CCTV), Cox Cable Channel 4; worldwide on WatchitVegas.com; and archived and podcast on lvhilton.com.
The Las Vegas Hilton opened the gates to its weekly horse handicapping contest just three weeks ago and it’s off to a flying start. Contestants compete each Saturday with a mythical $1,200, placing six win and place bets over six designated race tracks. These tracks include the beautiful Del Mar and the popular Saratoga. The prize pool consists of all the entry monies plus $500 the Hilton contributes each week for a $30 entry fee (max 3 entries). Contestants may sign up each Friday or Saturday. Due to the summer version of “Pick the Ponies” August 16-18, SuperBook Saturdays will be dark that weekend. Please visit the SuperBook for all the details.
The summer version of Pick the Ponies will be hosted by the Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook August 16-18. Based on a limit of 200 entries, contestants will be competing for a share of $100,000. Players use a mythical $3,000 bankroll each day for the three-day tournament. Contestants place 10 win, place, show bets from designated race tracks each day. Interested players signing up before August 13 will also receive a 20% discount off the $500 entry fee. Special room rates are also available for all contestants. The last two “Pick the Ponies” have sold out so all are encouraged to sign up early. Visit the SuperBook for all the details.
The Las Vegas Hilton will be host to the bull riders during NFR in Las Vegas. More to come.
