Fly Away Above the Strip! World's Largest Helium Balloon!

WORLD’S LARGEST HELIUM BALLOON NOW IN FLIGHT ABOVE THE LAS VEGAS STRIP

The skyline of the Las Vegas Strip now features the breathtaking addition of the Cloud Nine balloon, the largest helium-filled, land-tethered balloon in the world. Taking flight from a site on Las Vegas Boulevard across from Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino the Cloud Nine balloon will be visible from miles away, and offering breathtaking views of the city on both a daily/nightly basis.

This innovative project was developed by Cloud Nine Entertainment, LLC and designed by the world-renown Parisian-based company, Aerophile S.A. The European-style balloon was originally commissioned for “The America’s Cup” yacht race in Valencia, Spain. The project was inspired by other successful balloons in Paris, Hong Kong and Dubai.

“The Cloud Nine balloon will offer passengers extraordinary open-air views of the breathtaking Las Vegas Strip,” said Kevin Michaels, President and CEO of Cloud Nine Entertainment. Being mindful of the financial climate at present, we’ve priced our tickets in the $20 range, so as to offer Las Vegas residents and visitors alike a magical, once-in-a-lifetime-experience that everyone can afford.”

Cloud Nine will safely elevate up to 30 passengers at a time in a customized gondola that will offer its high-flying guests spectacular 360 degree views of Las Vegas from nearly 500 feet in the air. The “lucky” 7-story wide by 11-story high balloon is also uniquely illuminated from within, thereby making it visible from miles away, day or night.

In addition to standard 10-minute flights, Cloud Nine will also offer innovative wedding, anniversary, engagement, bachelor/bachelorette, parties, as well as a variety of corporate and special event packages.

A new Champion! Joey Chestnut eats 50 Meatballs!!

JOEY CHESTNUT EATS 50 MEATBALLS TO WIN INAUGURAL MARTORANO’S MASTERS MEATBALL-EATING CHAMPIONSHIP Joey Chestnut became the first-ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Champion on Sunday, Nov. 8 at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after eating 50 meatballs in 10-minutes of Major League Eating (MLE) sanctioned competition. The 6.25 pounds of meatballs in 10-minutes set a new world record in the meatball discipline. The contest featured a star-studded field of Major League Eaters and celebrities all vying for a $1,500 first-place prize and title of Martorano’s Meatball Champion.

When asked about the key to his victory, Chestnut quickly pointed to the quality of the meatballs. “The great taste and high quality of the meatballs were evident in every bite,” said world’s #1-ranked Chestnut. “I am honored to have name my forever associated with Martorano’s world-famous meatballs.”

The competition proved to be fierce with Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti finishing a single meatball behind Chestnut’s total of 50 to finish in second place and win $750. 105-pound Sonya Thomas ate 42 meatballs to finish in third place ($500), while rookie upstart Ben Monson ate 38 meatballs to finish in fourth place and win $250. Henderson native Rich “The Locust” LeFevre came out of retirement to compete in his hometown and ate 33 meatballs to finish sixth.

To fully honor and respect cook/owner Steve Martorano’s gourmet meatballs, Major League Eating strayed from conventional competition standards and issued a ‘utensils-only’ rule. The stipulation proved integral as it put an added premium on technique throughout the contest.
