LOL. This is, perhaps what we should of dropped for the
Westminster MD New Year’s Eve celebration… Maybe? Just saying. I wonder what
Lori Graham might say…
Anyway, PRNewswire says:
MARKSVILLE, La., Dec. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Paragon
Casino Resort is ringing in the New Year "Louisiana Style" with a
one-of-a-kind ball drop. Inspired by the culture of Louisiana, Paragon Casino
Resort created a unique piece that represents the property and the state…an
alligator.
Paragon worked in partnership with Egads, LLC in Las
Vegas who designs and manufactures signage and sculptures for casinos all
across the United States. They were hired to design and create
the Louisiana inspired ball complete with an alligator perched on top
that will drop from the Atrium ceiling at midnight New Year's Eve.
The one-of-a-kind Louisiana inspired ball design weighs 175
pounds, stands approximately 3 feet tall and is installed high above the
Cypress Swamp in the resort atrium 65 feet above the real alligators that call
the habitat home. The illuminated ball will descend from approximately the 8th
floor of the casino resort atrium to its final spot hovering 35 feet above the
Cypress Swamp.
"We are so excited about adding this beautifully
designed alligator themed ball to our New Year's Eve celebration this
year," said Vice President of Marketing, John Barbry. "The alligator
is such an iconic symbol of both Paragon and the state of Louisiana."
The top casino resort, located in the heart
of Louisiana, delivers an authentic Louisiana experience for its
customers by including everything that is engaging and unique about the state.
The casino resort will feature several entertainment options
for New Year's Eve including the FREE block party in the Atrium starting
at 8pm featuring music by Rod Antoon, street performers and party favors for
the midnight ball drop. For more information about other entertainment options
