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.
