On Saturday, June 8, the Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the oneyear anniversary of the opening of its Main Street Reimagination projects that transformed its historic Main Street façade and porte-cochère into a one-of-a-kind destination for cocktails, gaming, and dining.

From 8 p.m. to midnight on June 8, guests can celebrate with the Plaza at its free anniversary party under the glittering lights of the dome on Main Street that will include a DJ, caricature artists, mingling with showgirls, and food for sale.

At the party, attendees can also register to win a free 3-night stay at the Plaza along with $100 in free slot play and $200 for dinner at Oscar’s steakhouse inside either the restaurant’s iconic glass domed dining room or on the rooftop patio that was added as part of the Main Street Reimagination project.

Carousel Bar, the outdoor bar that is the centerpiece of the Main Street Reimagination, will offer free cocktail samples of two of its most popular drinks: One Hot Mama (Mi Campo Blanco Tequila, 21seeds Cucumber Jalapeño Tequila, Chacho Jalapeño Aguardiente, Mr. Q cucumber sparking beverage, and tajin) and Bingo Bling (lychee infused Skyy vodka, lime, grapefruit, oleo, aloe, and lychee pop).
