As we enter the thick of the corporate holiday party season, here are some ideas and resources for food, entertainment, gifts, and more.
1. For a holiday event, pick a seating option that mimics the look of an icy winter, even if Las Vegas is not known for feet of snowfall. Cort Event Furnishings offers the Ice bar stool, an icy diamond-patterned clear acrylic item, which catches the light and diffuses it in colorful prisms. The rental item also comes in a chair version. The chair is 17 inches long by 20 deep and 32 high. The barstool is 17 inches long by 16 deep and 38 high.
2. Dress up a holiday event with a festive bar. The Paillette bar from Fresh Wata comes in aquamarine and silver. There are six-, eight-, or 12-foot versions, or the items can be connected to make a four-sided, 12- by 12-foot square bar. The top is done in mirror, and there is a well in back for bottles. The look can be customized to spell out a company's logo.
3. Cort also offers the Luna bar, which can transform the look and feel of an event with battery-operated, energy-efficient, and sustainable Luna lighting.
4. Retro Bakery offers an array of holiday-themed cupcakes for in-office meetings or corporate gifts. Special holiday flavors include eggnog, peppermint bark, pumpkin spice, and gingerbread. Delivery is $20, and corporate discounts are available at rates relative to the volume ordered.
5. Take a group or client to a feel-good show for a little holiday levity. To celebrate what would have been Frank Sinatra's 95th birthday on December 12, Wynn Las Vegas will premiere performances of Sinatra Dance With Me in the Encore Theater on December 11, with Sinatra's words and music set to movement by Twyla Tharp. Blending Sinatra's vocals with a big band and 14 dancers, the show includes standards like "Fly Me To The Moon," "My Way," and "That's Life." The show plays at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday through January 29. The theater is dark on Sundays. Ticket prices are $69 and $89, and groups of 10 or more may book separately by calling 702.770.3724.
