| Dotting the eyes of the dragon |
Yesterday
(Sunday, Feb. 10 at 5 p.m.), The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas celebrated the Year
of the Snake with a “Dotting of the Eyes” ceremony and street parade in honor
of Chinese New Year.
The
“Dotting of the Eyes” ceremony began at the East Side entrance of the
distinctive luxury resort. Around 40
performers “awakened” the dragon and lions by dotting their eyes with red paint
in traditional fashion. Following the
awakening, the performers began to weave throughout the casino floor with the
twisting and turning dragon, lions and dancers.
The moving celebration made a stop at The Cosmopolitan’s High Limit
lounge for a “Collecting of the Cabbage” ceremony before completing the parade.
Special
décor honoring the Chinese New Year holiday will be visible on property until
Feb. 17. Guests can also head to China
Poblano through Feb. 28 to taste innovative cocktails and a delectable menu
inspired by the holiday.
