Meet N' Greet With NHRA Driver Terry McMillen On Oct. 29th

17° South, the tropical new restaurant inside Tahiti Village on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, is proud to host NHRA racer and perennial fan favorite Terry McMillen for a special meet and greet to benefit SHE 4Life on Wednesday, Oct. 29 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Held in the spacious outdoor patio, proceeds from all “Terry McTinis” drinks sold during the event will go directly to breast cancer centers and outreach programs, to make an immediate impact for the breast cancer fighter and their families. SHE 4Life also assists with Free Mammogram programs to assist with early detection in order to increase the cure rate of breast cancer. Featuring a refreshing mix of Island Oasis Ice Cream, Raspberry Island Oasis, Ketel One Orange Vodka, chocolate drizzle and a raspberry garnish, the “Terry McTini” will be available for $7 each.

In addition to the opportunity to meet one of drag racing’s biggest stars, Tahiti Village guests and Las Vegas locals can take an up-close-and-personal look at McMillen’s one-of-a-kind dragster. Painted pink in honor of all breast cancer fighters, McMillen’s dragster will be on display in front of Tahiti Village from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Terry McMillen to 17° South and honored to be working with a wonderful foundation as SHE 4Life,” said Chef Gremo, Executive Chef of 17°  South at Tahiti Village. “Tahiti Village guests and Las Vegas locals will not only have a chance to meet one of NHRA’s biggest stars, but to help families in need by purchasing a refreshing ‘Terry McTini.’ We’re proud to have the chance to give back to the Las Vegas community and lend a hand to those in need.”

“NHRA Drag Racing in Las Vegas is something we look forward to twice a year, probably more so than even the fans,” said Terry McMillen. “There's just two races left in the final stretch of the Countdown to the Championship. It doesn't get more exciting than this. Having our car displayed for NHRA fans and Tahiti Village guests and then to have a meet and greet at 17° South while benefiting She4Life is certainly one of the highlights of our season. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.”

Survive, Hope, Empower, is a reflection of the people SHE 4Life helps and those who volunteer. Helping families affected by breast cancer afford the everyday necessities to help them fight the fight is the basis of SHE 4Life. The brand has been developed to make a difference in the lives of those who are battling to become survivors. The goal of SHE 4Life is to work with retailers across the nation to place “SHE4Life” products in their stores to honor all breast cancer fighters and generate dollars for regional breast cancer centers or outreach programs of the retailer’s choice.

“SHE 4Life looks forward to October every year, so we can increase awareness of our mission and work with Terry McMillen Racing to help spread the word throughout the NHRA community,” said Jodi Kramer, CEO/Founder of SHE 4Life. “Our goal, with proceeds from this event at 17° South, is to assist The Promise PACC Foundation in establishing a transportation program to help breast cancer fighters travel to and from doctor appointments. Since we’re kicking this program off with Terry McMillen Racing, it seems appropriate that SHE 4Life helps provide Las Vegas breast cancer fighters with the fuel they need for their battle.

Watch Out! Powerhouse Michael Fuller To Bring Lucky Foo's Restaurant To Green Valley!!

Lucky Foo’s Restaurant & Bar will introduce a distinctive dining experience to the Green Valley area being coined as an “American Izakaya,” a Japanese term for a dynamic dining and drinks destination where family and friends get together for food, cocktails and socializing, with its opening this fall. Located at 8955 S. Eastern Ave. at the high-traffic intersection of the I-215 Beltway, Lucky Foo’s will serve a menu combining Asian and Mediterranean flavors with American cuisine. 

“We want Lucky Foo’s to become Green Valley’s go-to spot as the neighborhood bar and grill,” says Lucky Foo’s owner and managing partner, Michael Fuller. “Whether it’s a business lunch, a bite to eat after working out, happy hour with friends or a weekly family dinner, we want Lucky Foo’s to be a gathering place for the community.” 

With an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and cuisine, Executive Chef Shawn Giordano, whose experience spans London, Italy, Hawaii and New York, has developed a menu full of innovative dishes that blend Japanese, Thai and Mediterranean ingredients and techniques with classic American dishes. Using a robata grill as the anchor of the kitchen, the focus of Lucky Foo’s menu will be on dishes that are fresh, flavorful and healthy. Using a traditional Japanese coal called binchotan, which burns at 1,000 degrees, the robata grill will cook food faster, sealing in the delicious juices of Lucky Foo’s signature dishes. The expansive menu includes sushi, noodles, salads, sandwiches and yakitori, as well as various cuts of steak, ribs and chicken. Signature selections include skewered yakitori meat or vegetable tacos with smoked pickled kimchee as a possible side selection; and the Foo Burger, a blend of flavorful meats prepared on the robata grill to maximize flavor and juiciness. “In creating the soon-to-be-famous Foo Burger, we wanted to make sure it had the perfect, mouthwatering flavor,” says Giordano.  “By cooking it on the robata grill with binchotan charcoal, which burns at 1,000 degrees as opposed to 500 degrees like most grills, the Foo Burger will be one of the most flavorful and juicy burgers our guests have experienced.” Lucky Foo’s will also offer a lunch, happy hour, children’s and late-night menus. 

At 5,000 total square feet with four vastly distinctive dining areas with seating for up to 180 guests, the inspiration of Lucky Foo’s design is luck and fortune. Each room, or microenvironment, will be designed with a specific character or idea considered to be “lucky,” allowing for unique experiences each time a guest visits. For example, the restaurant’s patio named “Buddha” seats up to 36 guests and will revolve around a custom crafted fountain of Budai, otherwise known as The Laughing Buddha. Inside, an additional room known as the KIMMI Bar will feature fresh sushi selections amidst the backdrop of light, feminine tones and the restaurant’s rare KIMMI doll collection, the first of its kind for Las Vegas. The heart of Lucky Foo’s is known as Foo Square, a Tatami mat-lined dining room where DJs along with other forms of entertainment will take place, lending a unique social aspect to the setting. The main dining room, known as Belly of the Dragon, will feature dark wood tones and a massive mural by local artist, Sean Clauretie. “The various rooms will deliver a new experience with every visit,” says Fuller. “It’s stylish, but laid back and fun.” The overall design incorporates reclaimed and salvaged materials from the famed Hamada restaurant, including Tatami mats, hand-painted Taiko Asian drums, roof tiles, as well as the icons from various Asian cultures.

The staff at Lucky Foo’s will don custom-created uniforms by Stitched, the local men’s clothier at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. With 17 high-definition televisions, Lucky Foo’s will be ideal for catching the latest game or sports updates. Lucky Foo’s will soon introduce an array of cocktail and dining specials with a daily happy hour, as well as late-night entertainment that includes intimate DJ sets and karaoke.

The dynamic venue is owned by The Beautiful Life and managed by Fuller and the Essential Group. With more than 20 years of experience, Fuller has opened and operated some of the top restaurants, bars and nightclubs in Las Vegas. Giordano spent many years working for world-renown chef, Wolfgang Puck, at Spago Las Vegas, Spago Beverly Hills and Trattoria Lupo, as well as experience consulting on various Tribeca hotspots including Smith & Mills, and Warren 77. Most recently, Giordano cooked privately for well-known photographer Annie Liebovitz.

Music Sensation Pitbull New Relationship With Bally Technologies & Playboy Brand Ambassador!

Bally Technologies announced today that they have selected global music superstar Pitbull to help expand the company’s existing relationship with one of the most recognized and popular consumer brands in the world, Playboy Enterprises, Inc.  Pitbull’s hit singles and sharp-dressed image will be featured in future development and releases of Bally’s Playboy line.  The new Pitbull/Playboy themed games are expected to be introduced in the fall of 2015.

The renowned Playboy brand ambassador who is also known as “Mr. Worldwide,” Pitbull kicked off the new Bally partnership in style on Wednesday, October 1, appearing during an exclusive launch party in Las Vegas. Bally Technologies’ Playboy-themed machines, including the newly released Playboy Club, were also on full display at the event amid industry, VIP, Playboy Playmates, and other invited guests.

Bally and Playboy have maintained a nearly 15 year relationship, resulting in numerous popular titles such as Playboy Hot Zone, Playboy Muy Caliente, Playboy Platinum, and Playboy Prizeball, along with its newest title Playboy Club, unveiled at the 2014 Global Gaming Expo (G2E) this week in Las Vegas.     

“We are ecstatic to venture into this new chapter of our storied history with Playboy,” said Vice President of Product Management and Licensing Jean Venneman. “Pitbull is an international superstar with true global appeal, and we are excited to enhance our Playboy-branded machines and entertaining table games with his high-energy hits and distinct image—further creating memorable experiences for our customers across the globe.”

Pitbull’s hit singles include “Timber,” “Give Me Everything,” “Rain Over Me,” “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” “Wild Wild Love,” “International Love,” and the new hit “Fireball.” During his remarkable career, Pitbull has collaborated with stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Kesha, Marc Anthony, Lil Jon, T-Pain, and Chris Brown.

Playboy announced its own strategic partnership with Pitbull earlier this year. The relationship, designed as a creative cross-pollination between the worlds of Pitbull and Playboy, features a variety of content, experience, and product-related initiatives.

“It’s truly fitting that the first venture we’re announcing via our partnership with Pitbull is with Bally, one of Playboy’s most enduring and successful licensing partners,” said Matthew Nordby, Playboy’s President of Global Licensing.  “Playboy has a rich history in the world of casinos and gaming and we look forward to introducing the new Pitbull Playboy games to a new generation of gaming enthusiasts.”

Latin Grammy award-winning musician, songwriter, and record producer, Pitbull has sold more than five million albums and 60 million singles worldwide. Through the release of seven studio albums, “Mr. Worldwide” has achieved No. 1 status in more than 15 countries around the world with his rapid-fire rhythms, billion-dollar beats, and globally infectious hooks that cross over to audiences around the world.  Pitbull is currently finishing up his forthcoming album Globalization and on a national concert tour with Enrique Iglesias that culminates on October 26 in Miami, FL.
