W Las Vegas Makes Film Fest Premiere
LAS VEGAS, NV, January 16, 2006. The premiere of the W Las Vegas Residences Lounge at Village at the Lift will take place during the 2006 Park City film festival.

A-list celebrities and select festival guests will have an exclusive opportunity to participate in the first-ever W Las Vegas Poker Invitational. Only 50 spots will be available in the high-profile tournament in which one lucky player will win a fully-furnished condo in the new development.
The W Las Vegas Poker Invitational will be a private, invitation-only tournament and cocktail reception featuring various celebrities and both amateur and professional players, including Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, Annie Duke, Phil Gordon and Phil Laak.
