MONTE CARLO ANNOUNCES SPIRITED NEW EVENTS IN “BOOZE & BITES” DINNER SERIES
Monte Carlo Resort & Casino announces lively new events in its interactive dinner pairing series “Booze & Bites.” Each month a different restaurant at the resort hosts a dinner in which a five-course menu is prepared and presented by the restaurant’s executive chef and paired with a sought-after spirit, wine or brew.
