NICK HOSTS.....Hosting the ICSC 2024 Global Awards Ceremony Wynn Las Vegas: PHOTO RECAP!

 Hello Las Vegas--Nick Verreos Hosting the ICSC 2024 Global Awards Ceremony, Wynn Las Vegas, with Angela Sweeney (L) MAXI Awards Vice Chair, and Cherilyn Megill (R) MAXI Awards Chair

Back in May, I had the privilege of MC'ing the ICSC 2024 Global Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas! This (I was informed by my hubby David) was my THIRD TIME being invited to host! ICSC stands for the International Council of Shopping Centers and the Global Awards Ceremony, along with the MAXI Awards honors and celebrates the achievements of visual merchandisers and marketplace (i.e. shopping centers) marketing experts and their EXCEPTIONAL efforts to engage and serve their communities. Consider this the "Oscars" of Shopping Center Events Best of the Best!

Check out my RECAP of my time in Las Vegas--from arriving to dining + the Ceremony:

ICSC put us up at the Palms Resort--Nick Verreos and David Paul, Palms Resort Las Vegas

Pool Boy--I didn't bring my swimsuit (Oh well!) since I didn't think I would have time for much "resort'ing" LOL! But I did get to check out the expansive pool area at the Palms (looked nice!). As it was, when we arrived we only had time to take these photos since they were closing the entire area down for some big outdoors "Foodie" event later that day.

In my short two days in Las Vegas, I enjoyed one nice dinner: Delicious Mexican food at La Popular CDMX Restaurant at the Palms:

Dinner Time: For my main entrée, I had the Chicken Mole Enchiladas, while David had the Ribeye Tacos. We also started with Chips and Guacamole. All muy bien and delicioso!--La Popular CDMX Restaurant, Palms Resort Las Vegas

Also...we ran into some very cute "kids" on their way out to EDC. Yes, kids, this was THE SAME WEEKEND as the Electric Daisy Carnival (Lordy there were LOTS of thongs but luckily not on these kids!!!):

Going to EDC...well...not me! ;)

Next day were the Awards and my Hosting, which was at the very fabulous and upscale Wynn Las Vegas--starting with Rehearsals:

The ICSC Global Awards represent an international spectrum of marketplaces (therefore the "Global")--from Canada (big winners this year!) to Malaysia, Uruguay, South Africa, and yes, the USA (Hawaii were big winners too!). Here are photos with some of the OUTSTANDING Winners (+ guests) from this year's Awards:

I has a blast hosting this year and it was amazing meeting all the fabulous and very talented marketing and visual experts and how they can transform the landscape of shopping center events and drive interest and excitement with consumers.

This past weekend, I had the honor to host the 2018 ICSC--International Council of Shopping Centers--Global Awards Ceremony at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel & Resort. The ICSC/International Council of Shopping Centers is the global trade association of the shopping center industry, maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with national shopping councils around the world.

I was invited to host the 2018 Global Awards Ceremony, honoring the Best of the Best in Shopping Centers across the world  in many different categories. The event occurred at the SUPER LUXE Wynn Resort and Casino Las Vegas and so therefore, I was off to Vegas:

I've Arrived!--Nick Verreos in the Lobby of the Wynn Las Vegas

In all my years coming to Las Vegas--whether for fun (attending a "Miss Universe" Pageant) or for work  (to do an appearance)--I had never stayed at the Wynn so it was quite a "WOW" when I did for this event. I'm not trying to diss the usual hotels I stay at when I'm in Vegas (OK, maybe) but let's just say, they WERE NOT The Wynn; this was another level of NICE! Even the people dressed NICE. Case in point: Shocker of all shockers, the men actually wore blazers/dress shirts/slacks to dinner and the casino and I spotted many women in chic very expensive dresses from high-end designers...IN VEGAS!!!

Let's just say I was more accustomed to the t-shirts-shorts-and-flip-flops Vegas crowd and The Wynn was NOT (well, maybe in the morning when the guests were off to find a lounge chair by the pool!). Anyhow, it was quite nice to see this other level of a Vegas hotel stay, a more "civilized/First Class" one.

When it was time for my hosting duties, I had to do rehearsals first, which was great--I spent a couple of hours with the production crew going through the entire awards ceremony and luckily, I had an hour to change into my gown...I mean, Hosting Ensemble of Flower Printed Brocade Dinner Jacket, Tuxedo Pants, Dress Shirt and Skinny Black Tie:

Goodnight Las Vegas--When I finished my hosting duties of the ICSC 2018 Global Awards, I headed back to my room and found this box of chocolates with a lovely note from Sonia--the Front Desk--Wynn Las Vegas. Classy. And very nice. Made my night. Thank you Sonia. Thank you Wynn Las Vegas XOXO
