Red Fountain at Planet Hollywood

All the change that is collected from the fountain this month will be donated to the American Heart Association. The teaming up of the Miracle Miles shops and the American Heart Association is all part of the Caring, Giving, Changing community campaign. So if you are out by the fountain and gazing at the gorgeous red color, make a wish or two and toss in your coins.

Chef Sammy DeMarco and the girls have designed the menu, and go from table to table to explain the dishes to you.

Weighed down by the costs, The Venetian’s “Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular” will close September 2nd. The total start
up cost for this production was $77 million, and after two years of production they still fall $20 million short of the original investment. The cast of the Broadway musical was officially informed on Tuesday, although it did not come as a complete shock as there were rumors floating around since October. The cost of the chandelier and the cost making of this spectacular theatre sadly came out to be more than the revenue. Other than New York, Las Vegas is the longest running “Phantom” show in the United States, and they are all very proud of that. As sad as it is the time has come to shut it down. So don’t miss your chance to see this amazing show before it’s gone forever. Get your Phantom Las Vegas Tickets here.

Justin Bieber’s Contribution
The talented teen heartthrob, Justin Bieber is a man of his word! Back in November on the Ellen Degeneres Show, Bieber made a promise of matching a $100,000 commitment by Target to aid the Whitney Elementary School in Las Vegas. He kept his promise and on Decemeber 16th he made his contribution to help the poverty-stricken school. When he personally delivered the check of $100,000 he performed a mini concert for the student, of which most come from low-income families. The Whitney Elementary School provides assistance to its hundreds of student, many which are homeless, by providing haircuts, clothes closet, food pantry and literacy training all on campus. Bieber’s contribution is coming out of his own pocket and not out of his foundation Believe. His money will go to providing the school with all it needs in order to keep running and providing students with the necessities they need. A true Holiday miracle for a lot of those families.
