TOP CHEF to shoot at M Resort

 

 

 

Top Chef is planning to shoot these 10 webisodes in the B Studio Kitchen at the M Resort on Tues/19 & Wed/20. They would love to have 15-20 foodys (be it chefs, somalies, restaurant mgrs) participate in this shoot. I should have rough times soon but in the meantime, they'll need to be flexible with their hours since it is production after all and things sometimes run longer than expected.

 

 

The MANDALAY BAY aka PRIDE ROCK!

 

 

Being originally from New York and a creative person I enjoyed immersing myself in the performing arts culture of the city I grew up in, especially the spectacular Broadway and off Broadway productions. However after relocating to Vegas, I felt a since of loss having left behind that which I truly enjoyed. Alas!, my dear readers I am happy to report Vegas has become home to the same cultural experience NYC boast  of. A true happening has descended upon us a movement of sight and sound that shook the Amsterdam theater to it’s knees for so many years, a production that truly Roared into my heart! A true experince for the entire family has come to Las Vegas, the long-running hit DISNEY'S THE LION KING is opening at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel, bringing the same rhysmatic colorful experience right here to the Strip that has been enjoyed all over the world. An has wowed Broadway for almost 10 years. The cast of characters is as different and as spectacular as the well thought out costumes with music that will have you humming long after you've left the theater This unique stage production will have you in awe from the first moment the lights dim to the dramatic opening scene. I implore all Las Vegans to experience for yourself this truly Joyful Noise! I am proud to say the Strips lights are now shining as brightly as Broadways. The Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel will forever be known as Pride Rock!
