Just came across this on my trip to Las Vegas and thought you might find it interesting. One of those "only in Vegas" kind of things!


Las Vegas Restaurant Features Four-story Acrylic Wine Tower
It's a four-story acrylic "cellar in the sky". Clad in black bodysuits and rock climbing gear, "Wine Angels" scale the 42-foot structure to collect wine for discriminating patrons. Where else but Las Vegas - a city with eight million annual hotel guests and a reputation for over-the-top interior design. When the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino opened its 3,700-room resort to guests, it took its interior to new heights by installing the tallest wine rack in the world within its Vegas version of New York chef Charlie Palmer's Aureole restaurant.
Patrons enter the restaurant via a catwalk-style bridge and stairway that spirals around the wine tower, which sits atop the 64-foot square room center, making it the focal point of the restaurant. In addition to its functionality of housing wine, the rack acts as an entertainment piece and adds to the rooms ambiance.
This monumental structure must maintain its stunning appearance and stability, which accommodates the weight of approximately 16,000 bottles plus the "Wine Angels", a true challenge for fabricator, Perry Youssefy, president of Crystal Craft (La Verne, CA).
