There’s nothing else like it on The Strip.”

“Mon Ami Gabi offers a perfect blend of French sophistication and Vegas excitement,” says Brittany Saldaña, private and special events manager at Paris Las Vegas’ famed Strip-side French bistro. “We can coordinate everything from wine tastings and cooking classes, to brunches serving specialty macaron or madeleine favors. Or, add a little touch of Las Vegas’ world-famous entertainment by booking a strolling illusionist to bring extra whimsy to your client cocktail reception in our Front Bar,” she adds.
Wine & Cocktail Experiences at RPM Italian
Whisk your VIPs away to Italy with an evening at RPM Italian in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace! “We often curate wine and spirits tasting experiences either before a dinner with snacks or create a custom dinner that showcases pairings of four different expressions of a particular varietal,” says Newman, who also serves as catering manager at RPM Italian. “Past themes have included ‘Sangiovese, The Crown Jewel of Tuscany,’ or ‘A Night in Verona,’ which highlights the range of wines that each winery in Verona has to offer, such as Valpolicella, which makes three different styles of wine with the same grape blend. These events are interactive, elegant, educational and, of course, delicious!”
RPM Italian offers a range of other event formats, including reception-style events with passed bites, epic grazing stations, and the ability to add on unique elements such as a local artist to create custom drawings during your event.Inquire about convention events at RPM Italian
Off-Strip Elegance at Summer House
Named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful Restaurants in America,” Summer House Las Vegas Private Events Manager Yasmina Martinez calls the California-inspired location at the Durango Resort & Casino, “A refreshing oasis in the desert—the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of The Strip.” The 12-seat Cabana Room is ideal for intimate meetings or gatherings, and for larger events, the sun-drenched patio can host up to 100 seated guests or 125 for a standing reception, and the bright and airy main dining room can accommodate 160 guests seated or 200 for a reception.
“There’s no better way to end a busy day of convention panels and meetings than to relax with a glass of Summer House Signature Rosé!” Martinez says. An added bonus: Summer House can put together a selection of their signature oversized cookies from The Cookie Bar as takeaways for your guests, or deliver catering trays of these sweet treats to your off-site meetings.
