Snow Queen Vodka Expands After Awards

Filed under: Spirits

Snow Queen, the organic vodka from Kazakhstan with a fantastical flair, is expanding its U.S. distribution following two big wins at the recent 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Snow Queen, which was awarded both Top Vodka honors as well as a Double Gold Medal at the event, has only been available in a handful of states since its introduction to the U.S. in 2006. It is now being sold in California for the first time as well as others and plans to be available nationwide by the end of the year.

Made with organic wheat and pure spring water from the foothills of the Himalayas, Kazakh birch charcoal is employed in the vodka's five time distillation process. That makes it one of the highest distilled vodkas on the market making for an enviable purity and smoothness in the finished product.

Just in case that isn't enough for some people, Snow Queen has also made a name for itself by throwing fancy parties featuring busty babes like Carmen Electra and its signature snow bunnies.

It's official, the former Aladdin resort in Las Vegas is now the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Bruce Willis, Carmen Electra, Pete Sampras and Roger Clemens were among those who turned out on Tuesday for the official announcement that the hotel will celebrate its grand opening as the rebranded Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on Sept. 28 and 29. Willis promised that the resort will throw the biggest party Las Vegas has ever seen. The resort has been undergoing a $1 billion makeover, turning the Arabian-themed resort into a resort with a movie theme. The resort, like the Flamingo which we mentioned recently, is going for a bit of retro chic.

In total the resort will have 2,600 movie-themed guest rooms and suites and two 50-story towers with 1,200 time-share residences that will open in 2009. The resort will include the New York steak house Strip House and a Vegas version of the popular restaurant Koi. as well as a sports lounge that serves the famous Pink's hot dogs from Los Angeles. The show called "Stomp Out Loud," has opened at the property in a new $28 million theater and there is also a show by magician Hans Klok with Carmen Electra as an assistant for three months. The former Desert Passage shopping mall is now the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood and will include the first Las Vegas H&M. Rooms start at around $200 per night.
