LAS VEGAS, NV, June 29, 2007. The Light Group will add more sizzle to the Las Vegas Strip this September with the opening of its newest venture, Diablo's Cantina at Monte Carlo Resort & Casino. The 10,000-square-foot multi-level entertainment complex will be "Party Central" for those looking to let loose in a lively fiesta-like atmosphere.

Centrally located on Las Vegas Boulevard, Diablo's Cantina will be a casual yet alluring dining and drinking destination. Its open-air design will provide an inviting and high-energy environment to help set the festive tone. Diablo's will combine all the fanfare and charm of a Mexican coastal cantina with the excitement and vibe of a lively "people-watching" hot spot. Mixing "Old World" style with modern technology, Diablo's d'ecor will feature vibrant colors with rustic tile and furniture as well as 10 large plasma screens throughout for sports and entertainment viewing. One-of-a-kind, hand-painted murals will add character to Diablo's space. A staff of sultry se~noritas will add a touch of spice and excitement to Diablo's Cantina while roaming tequila vixens will get the party started.

The first floor will incorporate the main dining area with a hip bar and lounge. Guests will be able to enter from a Strip-front entrance that will feature a walk-up frozen/specialty drink bar, or through the casino. The second floor will include an open-air center bar area and stage for live music, rotating entertainment acts and weekend DJs. The patio will be a perfect setting for carefree fun in the sun or under the desert moon.

Executive Chef Brian Massie's menu will include a cross between south-of-the-border favorites such as the Diablo's Beef Chili Nachos and Spicy Grilled Shrimp Quesadilla plus a unique spin on some traditional American classics including The Diablo Death Wings, spicy chicken wings served with a smoked jalapeno blue cheese sauce, and Diablo's 15-ounce Burger. In addition, Diablo's will offer an array of salads and appetizers, taco and burrito combinations and sandwich and meat platters. The large portion sizes will encourage sharing and ensure that no one leaves hungry.

Diablo's Cantina also will feature an extensive menu of luscious libations including specialty margaritas, mojitos, sangrias and a variety of rare and exotic tequilas. The signature margaritas will come in two sizes: individual or large for table sharing. The Mangorita, a mix of tequila, Mango Nectar and fresh lime, will offer a sweet yet refreshing take on the original margarita. The Cantina will boast a collection of frozen and specialty drinks; guests can choose from a frozen Tropical Hurricane, with Appleton Estate Rum, Guava, Papaya and Mango, or the specialty South of the Border Martini, watermelon-infused tequila, Watermelon Brizard and fresh lime juice.

"Fueled by the combination of great food, high-octane entertainment, an open-air design in the center of the world's most exciting location and, of course, tequila, Diablo's will be like Spring Break year-round!" said Oliver Wharton, The Light Group's director of Restaurant Operations.

Diablo's Cantina marks the beginning of a Monte Carlo transformation. The resort, which recently received its first AAA Four Diamond Award, combines a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with non-stop action and excitement. Its sparkling pools, charming accommodations and friendly staff combined with a casual brew pub, the breathtaking illusions of Master Magician Lance Burton and the AAA Four Diamond Andre's French restaurant make Monte Carlo a destination to remember.

Monte Carlo President Randy Morton said, "The addition of Diablo's Cantina will create a new level of excitement at Monte Carlo. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant's exterior will be a hint of what awaits inside."
