Stirling Club Members Attend Private Tony Bennett Gala

Stirling Club members were honored to attend the annual Tony Bennett Heart Awards to benefit the VegasTennis.com's Marty Hennessy Jr. Tennis Foundation, which was held at the TAO Asian Bistro and Nightclub last Thursday. The private concert and event was produced by Clint Homes, and celebrated Tony Bennett's 83rd birthday.

The foundation works with and inspires at-risk youth by providing them mentorship through education and tennis. The foundation has successfully groomed 19 students, who have gone on to earn college scholarships. A portion of the proceeds also benefited USTA-Nevada youth tennis programs.

The event included appearances and performances by Rita Rudner, Clint Holmes, Mosaic (MTV band of the year), Ellie Smith (lead in Annie and Secret Garden), and Vinnie Falcone (former Sinatra pianist), and Tony Bennett. Jay Leno also made a surprise appearance. Event honorees included: Jeffrey and Rashae Taylor; Michael Flaherty (president and Founder of Walden Media and producer of Chronicles of Narnia); Sandy White; and Edgardo Ureta.

For a complete list of sponsors for this event, please visit Tony Bennett Heart Awards. There are still opportunities available to sponsor a child.

The Stirling Club extends its heartfelt thanks to all members who attended. Your support made a difference.

A Top Ten Spa In Las Vegas

Earlier this year, The Stirling Club was distinguished as one of the top ten spas in Las Vegas. The review was featured in Orbtiz, a leading online travel company offering leisure and business travelers.

"Impressively spacious and well maintained, The Stirling Club has the intimacy and service level of a private club … since it is one." — E.C. Gladstone for Orbitz

While Orbitz highlighted the dramatically lit sauna and steam rooms, spacious whirlpool bath, waterfall showers, and enclosed fitness lap pool, members frequently marvel at the 14 treatment rooms where they receive therapeutic massages, rejuvenating facials, and detoxifying body wraps.

Other spas rounding out the top of the list: Encore; Caesars Palace; Bellagio; Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian; Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa; and Green Valley Ranch. But what made the Stirling Club stand out was the rarity of quietly opening private club facilities to non-members.

October Spa Special — Pumpkin Pie Special

In October, The Stirling Club is offering a seasonal special for members that also serves as an excellent spa introduction for visiting guests. The Pumpkin Pie special takes advantage of the pumpkin, which is known to have remarkable therapeutic properties, including natural UV protectors, powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, and exfoliant properties that are especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin.

• 25-minute gentle Mediterranean body exfoliation, which increases circulation, adds nutrients, and regenerates the skin. This special employs a special pumpkin pie brown sugar blend, laced with ginger.
• 25-minute body nourishing pumpkin pie body wrap, which tightens, tones, and stimulates your metabolism to help fitness.
• 50-minute Swedish massage, with superficial and deep effleurage using Whipped Shea Pumpkin Body Butter.
• 50-minute facial, which adds a Pumpkin Enzyme mask, rich in antioxidants, to the luxuriously classic Stirling Creation Facial.

The special will be available through Nov. 30. Please allow 2 1/2 hours to complete the package. For details, please call 702.784.4616.

The Stirling Key To National Clubs

While The Stirling Club is exclusive to Las Vegas, membership does not have to be exclusive. Many business members who frequent Las Vegas upgrade their membership to Signature Gold Unlimited, which expands the experience to more than 200 associate and affiliate clubs across the United States.

"We have always taken advantage of the benefit of Signature Gold ... the savings from using Signature Gold will pay for my annual dues." — Signature Gold Member, Brookhaven Country Club

While traveling, Signature Gold members frequently enjoy complimentary golf, complimentary dining, and great deals at affiliate hotels and resorts. Most clubs extend our members the same courtesies as they would any of their local members.
