Yesterday Sunday, Feb. 14, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas celebrated Chinese New Year and welcomed the Year of the Monkey with a traditional ‘Dotting of the Eyes’ ceremony. Beginning at the resort’s Las Vegas Boulevard entrance, performers, resort executives and poker legend Johnny Chan ‘awakened’ a dragon and lions by dotting their eyes with red paint. Once awakened, the twisting and turning dragon led a moving celebration of lions and dancers throughout casino and The Talon Club before stopping in front of Queue Bar for a ‘Collecting of the Cabbage’ ceremony.
Guests can continue the celebration this month with festive cocktails and dishes at Chef José Andrés’ China Poblano and Holsteins Shakes and Buns.
