long tradition regulated by French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is
released no sooner than the third Thursday of November, when it is
ready for consumption just six weeks after the harvest. Thus, at
one minute past midnight, huge celebrations are held all over the
world to taste the latest wine of the harvest. More than 65 million
bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau will be consumed in the months to
follow. The unique tower lighting activated by Garth launched a
bevy of resort events. As the tower was bathed in red light, Garth
joined her "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Derek Hough, traveling
down the famous Las Vegas Strip and arriving at Paris in a European
style horse-drawn carriage delivering the cask of Beaujolais
Nouveau to the base of the Eiffel Tower. Immediately following the
kick-off, award-winning chef Jean Joho and world renowned Chef Guy
Savoy led invited guests in a festive ceremonial tasting at Mon Ami
Gabi, the resort's sidewalk cafe. Guests throughout Paris Las Vegas
will enjoy the week-long festivities. The hotel is offering samples
of Beaujolais Nouveau to guests upon check in, and three of the
property's restaurants -- The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi
and Les Artistes Steakhouse -- will feature specialty menus. Paris
Las Vegas is a Harrah's Entertainment resort. From its dramatic
50-story replica of the Eiffel Tower to authentic architectural
reproductions, elegant decor and superb convention facilities, to
its fine cuisine, European-inspired boutiques and world-class
entertainment -- Paris Las Vegas celebrates the romance, excitement
and savoir-faire of the European City of Light. *High-resolution
