Today was the day! This morning the announcement was made to see who won the contest for the new Vinny Spokesperson for the New York New York Casino in Las Vegas. The announcement was supposed to be made last week, but there were so many votes to count that they put off the big day until today.

Vinny Blue and Vinny Red made their grand entrance with big smiles just after a long parade of fans came in wearing red t-shirts and blue t-shirts. They were ready. They both looked like they thought they had won, but there was only going to be one winner. Both Vinnys were in a great mood and joking around with each other.

A long speech was made to thank each Vinny for all the effort and fun they put into the contest. Each Vinny brought something special and unique to the festivities and they were equally deserving of the new title.

It was time to make the announcement. A man off stage showed how he was handcuffed to the briefcase which continued the name of the new New York New York Casino spokesperson. He came up to the stage and a couple of guys wrestled with the brief case a bit to get it open. The envelope was handed over.

The new Spokesperson is Vinny Blue! The fans of Vinny Blue loudly cheered and the fans of Vinny Red politely clapped in their disappointment. Vinny Red gave Vinny Blue a congratulatory handshake.

Vinny Red was thanked for his participation and was given a weekend pass for the new Aria where he could party all weekend with the person of his choice. A couple of gorgeous girls took the stage and escorted him away. I’m sure those beauties will keep him warm until Aria gets open. He didn’t look too terribly disappointed.

Vinny Blue signed the ‘oath’ of his new position and put on the official T-shirt and he was renamed just “Vinny.” As the official spokesperson, Vinny will embody the New York-New York brand.

A true ambassador of fun, Vinny will be a hands-on-host, available day in and day out to tell guests where to go, what to do, what’s hot and what’s not, in a totally honest, no-apologies New York kind of way.

“Thousands of you voted throughout this very close competition,” said Cynthia Kiser Murphey, president and COO of New York-New York. “Now it’s time for your chosen Vinny to get to work, making sure each and every guest has the time of their life here at New York-New York.”

People voted from all over the world for their special Vinny. I think they said from fifty different countries! Including, of course, Italy. Many, many people joined in in the fun of picking Vinny from the two worthy candidates. We all watched since October 20th, as they were pitted against each other for hot dog eating contests, who could dance the best jig, who could go fastest around the center bar on a tricycle and more. Vinny Blue won some of the events and Vinny Red won some of them, but the contests were really so that people could get to know them. It was the votes that picked which would be Vinny, not the contests.

Ready to jump in and embrace his new title, Vinny Blue took to the stage and said, “Today is a new day at New York-New York and I’d like to welcome everyone down to the hotel for a big celebration. The party is happening every day so come see this native New Yorker and learn why New York-New York is the place to hang on the Las Vegas Strip.”
