Margaritaville Las Vegas Reclaimed the Guinness World Record for The Largest Margarita Ever Made

October 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

On Oct. 14th at 5 O’clock in the evening Margaritaville broke the World Record for the largest margarita ever made as verified by Guinness World Records. The event was part of the Grand Opening festivities for the new Margaritaville Casinoat Flamingo in Las Vegas.

Halfway through the ceremony celebrating the new World Record, Jimmy Buffett surprised fans by coming out and raising a glass of Lucky Rita with the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team along with Flamingo’s Rick Mazer and Margaritaville’s Tamara Baldanza in front of more than 1,000 Parrotheads and onlookers.

“Much appreciation for these great wounded warriors, who I’ve worked with for a long time. Gentleman, thank you for coming out. We’re going to have a good time this weekend. Let the FIN begin,” said Buffett.

Lucky Rita is now on sale to the public allowing guests a taste of history and an opportunity to contribute to a great cause. For every gallon of Lucky Rita sold, Margaritaville will donate $5 to the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team. More than a margarita, Lucky Rita is a concoction with a cause.

“I am thrilled we have expanded our relationship with Margaritaville,” said Rick Mazer president of Flamingo Las Vegas, “and now together we have opened the first-ever Margaritaville Casino.”

After six months of planning, the mixing of the colossal 8,500 gallon beverage, appropriately named “Lucky Rita”, began its first pour on Oct. 11, 2011. Lucky Rita took an estimated 300 work hours to mix the concoction.

Lucky Rita kicks off Margaritaville Week with margaritas offered to the public up until October 23, 2011.
Surpassing the previous record holder by 873 gallons, Lucky Rita’s Recipe Includes:

  • 2125 Gallons of Margaritaville Gold Tequila
  • 708 Gallons of Margaritaville Triple Sec
  • 5667 Gallons Margarita Mix
  • 22,267 Limes
  • Recipe serves 181,333 12oz. margaritas

Continuing Margaritaville Week are the 7th Annual Street Parties that coincide with Jimmy Buffett’s Vegas concerts on the 15th and 22nd. Beginning at 11 a.m. each Saturday, the legendary, all-day, outdoor, free admission street parties will offer guests a taste of Lucky Rita along with live entertainment, interactive games, great food and drinks along with exciting giveaways including Margaritaville sunglasses, flip flops, frozen concoction makers and Jimmy Buffett concert tickets. Information about the two street parties will continue to be updated on Margaritaville.com.

Oh Baby! Introducing the Newest Face of the Gerber Generation

October 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

After reviewing more than 156,000 adorable little smiles and animated faces, Gerber has selected the winner of the 2011 Gerber Generation Photo Search! With his playful expression and dazzling blue eyes, 11-month-old Tate James Rosendahl from Springfield, Missouri was selected as the Grand Prize winner. As the newest face of the Gerber Generation, Tate will receive a $50,000 scholarship and will star in a Gerber print advertisement early next year.

“My first reaction was disbelief. Then I was so overwhelmed that I started to cry. I was just giddy, joyful and filled with so much gratitude that my son was blessed by such good fortune,” says Tate’s mom, Amy Jo Rosendahl, of her reaction when she was notified that her son had won. “Having this generous scholarship to put away for Tate’s education now lifts a huge financial burden off of our shoulders. We’re just so proud of our little guy.”

Hosted on Gerber’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Gerber, parents could enter their child into the photo search by uploading a picture under the appropriate Start Healthy, Stay Healthy™ Milestone during the six-week entry period. The contest received enormous interest as Gerber’s Facebook page saw a significant increase in “Likes” from about 400,000 in May to more than 2.1 million in August. At the end of the entry period, a panel of Gerber Generation judges set out to find photos of children from birth to preschool that demonstrated charm, expressiveness and consistency with Gerber’s heritage. The child’s photo that best met these criteria was selected as the Grand Prize winner.

Already a fan of the Gerber Facebook page, Tate’s mom entered her son after seeing the photo search announcement in her newsfeed. She thought it would be fun to see Tate’s little round face in the classic Gerber circle so she uploaded a photo of him from when he was 6-months-old, which showed his fun and playful personality.

Along with the Grand Prize winner, six other Milestone winners will also receive an APPLE IPAD2* device and they will be featured on Gerber.com and the Gerber Facebook page. Milestone winners were determined based on Facebook fan votes. One winner was selected from each Start Healthy, Stay Healthy™ Milestone – Birth+, Supported Sitter, Sitter, Crawler, Toddler and Preschooler. To view the winners, visit apps.facebook.com/gerberphotosearch/winners.aspx.

Later this year, Tate and his parents will travel to New York City for his debut photo shoot. Tate’s mom said that she is thrilled to have his little smile appear in magazines that her friends and family will see.
