The M Resort Spa and Casino will ring in the Chinese New Year with traditional dances, decorations and delicacies.
Locals and tourists are invited to the Henderson casino at 6 p.m. Feb. 11 for a Chinese lion and dragon dance performance.
The show features a 63-foot dragon, and lion props operated by 30 dancers from the Lohan School of Shaolin. The dance will begin in the lobby to chase away evil spirits, continue through the casino floor and end at the main lobby.
Festive décor – tangerine trees, banners and lanterns – will adorn the casino. Visitors can also taste eight Asian dishes at the resort’s Studio B Buffet beginning Feb. 3.
The M’s poker room will offer special promotions, all playing around with the numeral eight. In addition, a Year of the Rabbit collectible chip is available for purchase at the casino cage for $8 while supplies last.
At M Resort, locals reign supreme. Anthony Marnell III opened this casino with value in mind. With affordable drinks and meals and lots of incentives to play, it's no wonder why M has been a hit since it opened its doors in March 2009.

Designed with a modern and contemporary feel, M’s rooms feature dark wood, chrome fixtures and white linens, and are accented by blue or burgundy throws and pillows. Rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the mountains or the Strip.
