The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas New Year's Eve Weekend Opening Events

New Year's Eve began with a luxe 7:30 p.m. caviar and Dom Pérignon black-tied reception, which progressed into a dinner for 1,300 guests. Planner Colin Cowie wanted the event, however large, to feel like an intimate dinner party, and he dressed the tables accordingly. Peonies and dark purple calla lilies filled the space.

Roosevelt Hotel's 80th Anniversary Party

On their way into the Roosevelt Hotel's 80th anniversary party in 2004, guests were invited to pick up a fedora or a strand of pearls and experience the flavor of the New York hotel's opening days in the 1920s. To give the event an era-appropriate look, Design Fusion created a black, white, and silver Art Deco look accented with magenta lighting.

A mix of round and rectangular clear Lucite tables formed the dinner setup in the atrium. The sleek look was matched by clear chargers and ghost chairs; clusters of pillar candles replaced flowers as centerpieces.
