VINO 100 helps to Support Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern Nevada


One of our special stops in Las Vegas for Wine and very interesting special events is VINO 100
in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley.





" A Golden Night of Wine and Roses " was a cause that hits very close to home
with VINO LAS VEGAS. We normally not editorialize or pontificate on subjects found in our pieces. However, we have been around these wonderful dogs for many years. They do so many things for so many people in society and ask for
nothing in return but love.







When Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern Nevada put on this event with roses and wine at VINO 100 we had to show our support for this very important organization.






"A Golden Night of Wine and Roses" was
a wine tasting that started with some
wonderful Champagne moving on to
wines from all over the world and finishing
with dessert wine. There were even
roses for the ladies , luscious appetizers and
raffle prizes as well.





Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern
Nevada is an all volunteer non-profit
organization that provides new beginnings
for abandoned and displaced unwanted
Golden Retrievers.





We can all help in many ways. If you don'thave room to provide a"forever home" you can help by distributing brochures to vets and groomers, Donate cash of any amount , donate supplies or even help with seasonal gift wrapping or fund raising events.











It was a great pleasure for us to attend this event to help a cause that is very dear to our hearts. Especially during this holiday season. For more information on how you can help these very
special dogs, please go to http://www.grrsn.org or you can call the Gold line at 702-598-GOLD

VINO LAS VEGAS explores the Holiday Season at the Palazzo Resort featureing 225,000 cranberries


The Holiday season is special all over the world
and Las Vegas is no exception. With many multi-
Billion dollar Casino-Resorts lining the 3 mile
strip you know they go all out for their guests and
locals alike.







VINO LAS VEGAS stopped in at the 1.9 Billion , 50 Story Palazzo Resort to see how they were getting ready for the holidays.


We were not disappointed with what we found. This remarkable property has gone all out with a magnificent holiday display featuring 225,000 cranberries !




The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino’s holiday décor is complete as approximately 225,000 cranberries were poured into the Palazzo Atrium pond. The cranberries, donated by Ocean Spray, are a commonly used floral display piece and illuminates and enriches The Palazzo’s interior gardens with their color, size, and ambiance

The cranberries complement the holiday décor throughout the atrium where large, white Aspen trees hang covered in a variety of peppermints, snow, and candy ornaments. Additionally, the waterfall wall transforms into a holiday theme with white pine, red and silver ornaments, and pine cones.

The holiday theme continues throughout the resort as festive red and white poinsettias, white azaleas, Amaryllis, sugar cones, and 3 foot pine cones decorate the front desk, lobby, and The Shoppes at The Palazzo area. Guests and visitors will be able to enjoy the holiday décor at The Palazzo through January 1, 2008.

We plan explore a few of our favorite stops along the strip but the display at the Palazzo will be hard to beat .
