LAS VEGAS -- September 10, 1999 -- Guests can escape to Las Vegas' first off-strip luxury destination, The Resort At Summerlin, for a quiet New Year's Eve by reserving a guest room or Turn of the Century package, according to Brian McMullan, president and CEO.

"We are offering a New Year's celebration with a twist," said McMullan. "The Resort will certainly provide guests with several opportunities to celebrate; but they can do so without having to brave masses of other revelers. They will be pampered with stellar service and a variety of relaxation options."

The Resort At Summerlin millennium guest rooms start at $500 per night and packages range from $10,000 to $100,000. Each package includes accommodations in either The Regent Grand Spa or The Regent Grand Palms for five days and four nights, arriving Dec. 29 and departing Sunday, Jan. 2, 2000. A la carte rates are based on a four-night minimum stay and start at $500 for a superior room and go up to $1,500 for a junior suite.

McMullan expects the most popular package to be Turn of The Century Two. This $20,000 package includes golf, spa and a daily breakfast in one of the Regent International Hotel restaurants. Guests are invited to several special parties and events, including the first night's "Jazz Desserts" reception, which combines two of life's greatest pleasures — music and chocolate.

The remaining days afford an opportunity for relaxation with spa treatments or golf outings. The nights provide options for revelry or quiet evenings in. New Year's Eve choices include: an elegant room service dinner; fine dining in one of the hotel restaurants; a 40's-style supper club party in The Grand Ballroom with The Lezlie Anders Orchestra featuring Buddy Greco playing well into 2000; or dance music will set the tone for a more casual party in the Upstairs Market. On the final night, guests will enjoy Rich Little's "Y2Komedy" showcase in the Grand Ballroom.

Other packages feature personalized astrological readings, luxury air and ground transportation and tickets and limousine transportation to the Elton John/ Tina Turner concert on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Resort At Summerlin is located 25 minutes northwest of McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip. It features two Regent International Hotels — The Regent Grand Palms and The Regent Grand Spa — totaling 541 guest rooms and suites; the 40,000-square-foot Aquae Sulis spa; Parian and Ceres fine dining; Paseo de Vida shops and dining; 21,000 square feet of conference and banquet space; and a circular casino housing more than 1,200 slot machines and 40 tables games.
