UFC 106: Ortiz vs Griffin Sat, Nov 21 2009

In All Posts, Vegas Shows on November 20, 2009 at 10:27 am

(PRVegas.com) UFC 106 will be available live on pay-per-view on iN DEMAND, DIRECTV, DISH Network, TVN, BellTV, Shaw Communications and Viewer’s Choice Canada and live at the Mandalay Bay – Events Center on Sat, Nov 21 2009 at 7:00 PM.

Ortiz-Griffin 2 moves up the card to replace Brock Lesnar’s UFC heavyweight title defense against Shane Carwin, which was postponed until early 2010 due to an illness Lesnar suffered which has kept him out of training camp for nearly a month.

Taking over the main event slot are UFC superstars Ortiz and Griffin. For Ortiz, the bout is an opportunity to make an immediate impact in the 205-pound weight class after an 18 month absence by defeating a fellow former light heavyweight champion. Across the Octagon is Griffin, a fighter looking for redemption against Ortiz after losing a razor thin split decision to “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim on April 15, 2006.

In that bout, Ortiz tore into Griffin at the opening bell, almost finishing the fight with his trademark ground and pound attack. Amazingly, Griffin survived the assault and roared back over the next two rounds, teaming with Ortiz for an instant classic. After 15 minutes, the judges declared Ortiz the winner, but the back and forth nature of the bout made it a natural for a rematch.

In the newly-added co-feature to UFC 106: Ortiz vs Griffin 2, welterweight contenders collide as Josh Koscheck meets Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in one of the most intriguing 170-pound matchups of 2009.

“Koscheck vs. Johnson is a great fight and I give credit to both guys for stepping up and making a fight like this happen,” said White. “The amazing thing about this fight is that both Koscheck and Johnson are world-class wrestlers, but they can also knock you out with one punch. I don’t know where this fight’s gonna go, but wherever it goes, it’s going to be one to remember.”

Winner of the 2001 NCAA Division I National wrestling championship, Josh Koscheck entered MMA strictly as a wrestler, but as he battled his way through the first season of The Ultimate Fighter and up the welterweight ranks, he has evolved into a well-rounded contender with dynamite in his right hand. Owner of UFC wins over the likes of Diego Sanchez, Dustin Hazelett, Chris Lytle, Yoshiyuki Yoshida, and Frank Trigg, Koscheck is well on his way to a world title shot should he get by Anthony Johnson on November 21st.

A junior college National wrestling champion, Anthony Johnson has nonetheless built his reputation in the UFC with his devastating knockout power. Winner of five of his seven Octagon bouts, San Jose’s “Rumble” has ended each of those victories (over Chad Reiner, Tommy Speer, Kevin Burns, Luigi Fioravanti, and Yoshiyuki Yoshida) by way of knockout, making him one of the most feared athletes in the 170-pound weight class.

CityCenter named best commercial project of 2009 by Forrest Stewardship Council-US
CityCenter
LAS VEGAS – November 13, 2009 – The Forest Stewardship Council-US (FSC-US®) has honored CityCenter as the best commercial project of 2009 in the fifth annual Designing & Building with FSC Awards. The awards recognize entities that are committed to using sustainably harvested wood and creating a marketplace that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management. CityCenter’s dedication to the use of FSC-certified wood products is unprecedented in scale and resulted in a significant market transformation.

“We are honored to be recognized as this year’s top commercial project,” said Cindy Ortega, senior vice president of MGM MIRAGE’s Energy and Environmental Services.  “Sustainability has been at the forefront of every design and construction decision for CityCenter, and due to our high demand for responsibly harvested FSC-certified wood, numerous local companies have transformed their business practices, thereby opening channels for future sustainable projects.”

Due to its size and buying power, construction of the 18-million-square-foot CityCenter development expanded the local and domestic FSC wood supply markets, which will serve to open channels to future projects interested in purchasing FSC-certified wood.

CityCenter is a joint venture between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and Infinity World Development Corp, a subsidiary of Dubai World. Created with a vision to bring a new level of environmental consciousness to the world-famous Strip, CityCenter will be one of the world’s largest sustainable developments upon opening this December, from design and construction to operations and guest amenities. An extraordinary urban resort destination brought to life by eight world-renowned architects, the urban resort destination already has achieved four LEED® Gold certifications for ARIA Resort’s hotel tower, ARIA’s convention center and theater, Vdara Hotel & Spa, and Crystals retail and entertainment district. CityCenter is poised to achieve a combination of LEED Gold and Silver ratings throughout its remaining elements including Las Vegas’ first Mandarin Oriental and Veer Towers,  the community’s only, strictly residential buildings; and The Harmon (opening late 2010), a 400-room luxury boutique hotel.  CityCenter is driving green economies of scale in multiple industry segments, paving the way for other entities to build and operate sustainably

JOEY CHESTNUT EATS 50 MEATBALLS TO WIN INAUGURAL MARTORANO’S MASTERS MEATBALL-EATING CHAMPIONSHIP

In All Posts, Free Attractions on November 12, 2009 at 3:45 am

LAS VEGAS—Nov. 8, 2009—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.

“Watching the best eaters in the world eat bowl after bowl of my meatballs was a real compliment,” said Steve Martorano. “It was very important to me that they enjoy the meatballs during the championship and I am proud my meatballs could satisfy the appetites of top Major League Eaters.”

Playboy cover model and new starlet of FANTASY in Las Vegas at the Luxor, Angelica Bridges, also competed at Martorano’s on Sunday. A crowd favorite in her competitive eating debut, Bridges ate 10 meatballs totaling more than a pound of food.

“Angelica should be very proud of herself,” said Mike Antolini of Major League Eating. “She competed in a tough field and held her own. She is always welcome to the Major League Eating table and I hope to see her again at next year’s Martorano’s Masters.”

“What a fabulous two years this has been, and I thank AEG and Caesars Palace for the best partnership a showgirl could imagine. Who knows?

But first I need to finish recording my album of the sexiest new love songs that only a showgirl could sing,” stated Midler.

“Bette is one of the most talented, hard working professionals in the business and we would have loved for her to stay longer, said John Meglen, co-CEO and President of AEG Live/Concerts West. “All of us at AEG Live thank Bette and the entire cast, crew and staff for a great two year run at The Colosseum.”

Rick Thomas

Having seen Rick Thomas at the Tropicana many years ago and then at the Stardust before it was imploded and after moving to the Orleans Casino  before closing I can say I have seen Rick Thomas.  However after attending an SPCA fundraiser and previewing his new show at the Sahara Hotel and Casino I have to say I am very impressed.  The show is flawless, his stage presence and magical illusions have never been better and the Bengal tigers vanish and appear right before your eyes.  He combines the illusions with dance and entertaining and touching stories as he shares his story of his dream.  You will enjoy every moment from the magic and illusions, the magical rings that he does so well and his magic with birds is fun and amazing.  The most important thing that stands out for me is this is a show for the whole family, it’s clean, entertaining and fun and I watched audience members of all ages just having a good time enjoying and amazed from illusion after illusion. 

The Magic and Tigers of Rick Thomas now at the Sahara Hotel and Casino, 7p.m. nightly Adults $39.95, Children (12 and under) $19.95, VIP Seating $49.95  BUY TICKETS

v-barCelebrating its 9th anniversary with a sleek and sexy remodel, V Bar brings the latest technology and sophistication to corporate clients and late night cocktail aficionados alike.

Originally created by the owners of New York City’s trend-setting supper club Lotus, and Los Angeles’ swank Sunset Room, V Bar has undergone a sleek remodel from the updated tones of the rich ebony hardwood floors to the edges of the translucent glass walls.

“We are, more than ever, able to accommodate not only the tourists and locals looking for a more intimate place to have a night out, the new technology we have in place now makes V Bar a very desirable location for private events and meetings.” says Nitty Lee, General Manager, “Companies involved with the conventions project their logo across the glass walls for an impression that will not be missed by every person walking to and from the conventions. And the intimacy of the space is a nice alternative to a typical meeting room. It’s the perfect size for networking with clients and break-out meetings.”

Serving cocktails from 5pm nightly, V Bar is located along Restaurant Row at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, across from the Blue Man Group Theatre.
