Girls Night Out In Vegas At Hyde Bellagio Raises Over $200,000!

Silent Auction  Items

Entertainer Frankie Moreno

Friends of The Shade Tree, a local Las Vegas organization founded to financially support The Shade Tree Shelter, celebrated a successful and glamorous Girls Night Out event raising more than $200,000 for The Shade Tree through auctions, donations and a raffle at HYDE Bellagio last week.

The evening began as a slew of Las Vegas celebrities walked the red carpet including, the ladies of FANTASY at Luxor, Emmy-award winning anchor, Jason Feinberg, the beautiful Miss Nevada USA, Nia Sanchez, and local Strip headliner, Frankie Moreno.

Women clamored around the silent auction table throughout the evening, bidding on items such as a Miami Beach Vacation including a two-night stay at SLS Miami; a Valentino Red Lacca Bow Clutch; a two-night stay at ARIA with two rounds of golf at  Shadow Creek and Southern Highlands Golf Courses; and a Gucci leather tote. In total, the 32 silent auction items consisted of 13 luxury handbags, six vacations and getaways, seven spa packages and four shopping spree packages.

One of the most anticipated events of the evening, the live auction, kicked off with a bang as the Master of Ceremonies, Jason Feinberg, passed the microphone over to celebrated auctioneer, Christian Kolberg. Bidding got heated over several of the 13 items up for auction. Some of the most sought after packages included a package for 15 to 20 to travel to Oakland, Calif. to attend a Golden State Warriors game from the luxury of the Owner’s Box; a trip for two to New York Fashion Week to attend the Lanvin Fashion Show and a two-night stay at the Gansvoort Hotel; a year-long family four-pack membership to the new Life Time Fitness in Green Valley; and a gorgeous Camille Flawless dress, modeled by the stunning Miss Nevada.

Following the close of the live auction, Moreno took the stage to rock HYDE. Presented by Towbin Motorcars, Moreno’s performance was received with a roar of enthusiasm and had guests dancing in the center of the ultra-lounge until the event’s conclusion.

Proceeds from the night benefited The Shade Tree, a local organization that provides safe refuge to physically abused and homeless women, children and their pets. Friends of the Shade Tree is a local, Las Vegas, organization founded to financially support The Shade Tree Shelter. Over the past 11 years, Friends of the Shade Tree has raised more than $2,500,000 to help provide life changing services to the women and children of The Shade Tree, promoting stability, dignity and self-reliance

Both signings will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Museum’s gift shop.

About Murder in Beverly Hills

As a child, author and journalist Susan Berman was regarded as Las Vegas Mob royalty. The daughter of Flamingo executive and Mob figure Dave Berman, she was murdered execution-style in December 2000 at age 55 and the crime has never been solved. “Murder in Beverly Hills” chronicles her life and events leading up to her untimely death and presents exclusive information about the investigation and about Robert Durst, Berman’s longtime friend whom many suspect was involved in her homicide.

Scott, an award-winning journalist, is the bestselling author of “The Killing of Tupac Shakur” and “The Murder of Biggie Smalls.” “Murder in Beverly Hills” is her ninth book and is a re-release and update of “Murder of a Mafia Daughter.” Scott is currently co-writing the autobiography of former drug kingpin 

Freeway Rick Ross.

About Nevada: 150 Years in the Silver State

“Nevada: 150 Years in the Silver State” is the official book commemorating the state’s 150th birthday. Edited by Schumacher, the book delves into Nevada’s 19th century origins, its 20th century triumphs and its 21st century challenges. More than 70 Nevada writers capture the state’s rich history, diverse culture and amazing places. Their words are complemented by hundreds of photographs depicting Nevada’s gritty past, desert vistas and urban splendor.

Schumacher, a longtime Nevada journalist, is the director of content development for The Mob Museum in Las Vegas. He is the author of “Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue” and “Sun, Sin & Suburbia: The History of Modern Las Vegas.” During a 25-year newspaper career, Schumacher worked in various capacities for the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas CityLife, Las Vegas Mercury, Las Vegas Review-Journal and Ames (Iowa) Tribune.

BLT At Bally's Offers Delish Specials!

Porterhouse Steak

Now open at Bally’s Las Vegas, BLT Steak brings sophisticated design, quality service and classic steakhouse fare to the revitalized hotel and casino. BLT Steak also reinstates the award-winning weekend staple, Sterling Brunch, starting Memorial Day weekend.

Regarded as the premier brunch in Las Vegas, the Bally’s institution of forty years, Sterling Brunch will make its triumphant return on Saturday, May 24 with the same excellence in service and fare but in a more modern and stylish presentation synonymous with BLT Steak. Sterling Brunch will now be offered both Saturdays and Sundays, and will be showcased in a sleek built-in buffet space with roll-top chafers. Guests will once again be able to indulge in the finest fare of caviar, lobster tails, fresh-shucked oysters, Alaskan king crab legs, and never-ending glasses of Perrier Jouët Champagne, mimosas and bloody marys. Gluten-free items will also be available, and a personally guided tour of all offerings will be given upon request.

Located adjacent to Sea Thai, Indigo Lounge and Drai’s After Hours, BLT Steak occupies approximately 7,000 square feet, with nearly 240 seats.  A curving bar and accompanying lounge greet guests before entering the main dining room, which seats approximately 170 and can be separated into small, intimate dining rooms that can be utilized for large parties or special events.  A separate private dining room seats up to 14 guests.  Relaxed yet contemporary elegance is felt throughout the space with art reflecting icons of New York City, synonymous with the flagship BLT Steak.  Rich wood finishes with a backdrop of warm neutral tones are accented with touches of polished stainless steel, amber and tangerine.

Since first opening in New York City in 2004, BLT Steak has become one of the most recognized steakhouses in America and abroad with an earned reputation for superior service and classic steakhouse fare in a bistro-like setting.  The signature popovers, airy golden Gruyère-laced puffs of dough served warm, start every meal, while weekly blackboard specials highlight the best the season has to offer.  BLT Steak staples also include tuna tartare, chopped vegetable salad, Dover sole, peanut butter chocolate mousse and, of course, legendary USDA Prime and Certified Angus® steaks, from the 28 day dry-aged NY strip to the bone-in rib eye.  The wine list, which is modeled after other BLT Steak Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence” award-winning lists, will feature more than 300 wines with Old World selections from the regions of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Piedmont, Tuscany, Riojo and many others.

BLT Steak joins Bally’s exciting center-Strip revitalization which includes the addition of VÉRONIC Voices, Indigo Lounge, the 756-room Jubilee Tower, the all-new Jubilee show, and the Grand Bazaar Shops™, opening late 2014.

BLT Steak is open daily, with the bar open at 5 p.m., dinner Sunday – Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Friday – Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sterling Brunch begins May 24 and is offered Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please call 702-967-7258 to make reservations or for more information.de
