The Palazzo Kicks Off The Holidays With Cranberry Bog

Usually when folks walk into The Palazzo, it's the scent of jasmine that puts them at ease amidst the frenetic casino action. But yesterday, the Palazzo was all about cranberries.

That's because the resort officially opened their Arctic-inspired Winter Wonderland in the Waterfall Atrium, near the Shops at the Palazzo, with the pouring of over 225,000 Ocean Spray cranberries into a water feature in between the escalators.

Additionally, the Palazzo unveiled a 16-foot tall polar bear mother and 6-foot tall polar bear baby, made entirely of 10,000 specially-developed “Polar Bear” white poinsettias developed by Ecke Ranch. The giant topiary creations weighs in at approximately 5,000 lbs. The mother and baby polar bear are also a symbol of the Palazzo's partnership with the Polar Bear International (PBI) to raise awareness about conservation of polar bears. Awww.

The kick-off event was overseen by a camera-ready ice king and queen and their fairy attendants in white wigs and angel wings. The ice royalty won't be there all the time, nor will the complimentary sweets from Sweet Surrender candy shop, or the complimentary egg nog lattes from Café Pressé but the holiday display will remain up through the New Year.

Just don't pick the cranberries out of the bog.
