Celebrate Labor Day At The Stirling Club

With more than 273,000 people expected to make their way to Las Vegas for the long Labor Day weekend, some visitors might be wondering where they can find a more intimate gathering. Mike Saye, general manager of the Stirling Club, has one idea.

"The Labor Day Margaritaville pool party is a fun way to wind down the summer season," said Saye. "There will be a tropical buffet, island music, hula hoop and limbo contests, and complimentary draft beer with the buffet."

Set for noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5 in the lagoon pool, the special event features "island escapism" style music inspired by Jimmy Buffett. Expect to hear "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville" among the mix of hits. Kelly Mcquire, Jim Morris, and Rick Steffen might be in the lineup too.

Served poolside, the Stirling Club chefs have created a variety of island favorites, including Calypso island salad, tropical fish tacos, and even mini-cheeseburgers in paradise. Along with the buffet, complimentary draft beer will be served throughout the event. Drink specials will also include beer, carrot juice, and margaritas.

For those who remember the sensational Fourth of July pool oarty, the Labor Day Margaritaville pool party will be just as fun with a more relaxed theme. Members can enjoy all the activities for $24.95 per person, $12.95 for children under 12. Las Vegas visitors interested in a different side of the city may contact Kathleen Gustafson at 702-784-4603 for consideration.

Monday Night Football Parties Start At The Stirling Club.

Labor Day weekend also marks the return of the Stirling Club's legendary Monday Night Football parties in the Cigar Bar. The first game of the season will feature the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium. While the Ravens are favorites, anything can happen on Monday night. These two teams haven't faced off since 2007 (Ravens 20, Jets 13).

For a modest $20 at the door, members are treated to an endless assortment of game day food, big screen action, and an open bar on all sponsored brands. Kick off begins at 4 p.m., but many members arrive early for best seats. (Must be 21.)
