LAS VEGAS, Dec. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Park
MGM, Las Vegas' newest
resort, celebrated its official grand opening this weekend
with the debut of Lady Gaga's residency, the introduction of
Las Vegas' first Eataly and
the launch of On The Record, a new speakeasy and
club.
Lady Gaga performed before a sold-out crowd for the
first night of her residency, which will run through 2019.
Developed exclusively for Park MGM's intimate Park Theater, the
six-time GRAMMY Award-winner, Golden Globe Award-winner and Academy
Award-nominated superstar's engagement consists of two
separate shows, each offering an immersive only-in-Vegas experience
anchored by the pop star's raw talent and sprinkled with her
signature experimental performance art: LADY GAGA
ENIGMA, a never-before-seen journey through the star's pop hits and
LADY GAGA JAZZ & PIANO, debuting January
20, featuring stripped-down versions of her hits alongside
music from the Great American Songbook.
Delivering new takes on the statement-making performances for
which she is renowned and thrilling the crowd with hits ranging
from "Bad Romance," "Telephone" and "Just
Dance" to "Million Reasons" and "Shallow," the inaugural
performance of LADY GAGA ENIGMA wowed the crowd of more than 5,200
fans who came ready to party. Opening night guests included pop
superstar Katy Perry and
actor Orlando Bloom;
Avengers actor Jeremy
Renner; Foo Fighter's lead singer Dave Grohl; current Queen frontman
Adam Lambert; award-winning
actress Marisa Tomei;
Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba; a capella group
Pentatonix; and actress and director Regina King.
Los Angeles scene-makers and
twin brothers Jonnie and Mark
Houston hosted the evening's official after-party,
premiering their new modern speakeasy and club concept, On
The Record. Hidden behind a functioning record-store entry, the
club spans three rooms, including indoor and outdoor spaces, dance
floors, a patio bar and three hidden karaoke rooms. It also boasts
the ultra-intimate 25-seat Vinyl Parlor, where a lineup of top
bartenders from coast to coast serve as Bartenders-in-Residence.
Inspired by music across the decades, On The Record fuses
meticulous period design and authentic music nostalgia, such as
framed vinyl and a decommissioned 1963 Bristol Lodekka
double-decker bus converted into a DJ booth.
Located directly on the famed Las Vegas Strip and serving as the
new main entrance to Park MGM, the 40,000 square-foot Italian
marketplace Eataly welcomed more than a thousand guests for
its opening reception, which featured a pasta-ribbon cutting and a
proclamation of December 27 as the
official "Eataly Day" in Las
Vegas. Guests waited excitedly to enter the vibrant space
full of unique food counters, bars, cafés and dining experiences
offering traditional, authentic Italian food. Eataly Las Vegas
introduces several new experiences, most notably Cucina del
Mercato, or "Kitchen of the Market," an open, counter-to-table
space that shatters the barrier between restaurants and store – a
first for an Eataly in the United
States. The venue consists of six fresh counters where
guests can eat what they shop, and shop what they eat.
The debuts of Lady Gaga, On The
Record and Eataly mark the final stage of the two-year,
$550 million development at the heart
of the Las Vegas Strip. Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas offer an
intimate luxury resort experience on a grand scale. A partnership
between MGM Resorts International and New
York-based Sydell Group, Park MGM features 2,700 guest rooms
and suites; and the Las Vegas
extension of Sydell's NoMad features 293 well-appointed guest rooms
and suites. The resort's culinary program features NoMad Restaurant
and NoMad Bar from Will Guidara and
Daniel Humm; L.A. legend
Roy Choi's Korean BBQ concept, Best
Friend; Hogsalt Hospitality's renowned Bavette's Steakhouse; and
the vibrant Italian marketplace, Eataly, among other original
dining and cocktail experiences. Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas are
located in the heart of The Strip, next to the entertainment and
dining neighborhood created by The Park and the 20,000-seat
T-Mobile Arena.
