Ring in 2009 from the streets of New Orleans. This year’s New Year’s Eve Gala will feature a Mardi Gras theme, so don’t forget your feathers and masks. The Missouri Room will be transformed into Bourbon Street with plenty of beverages, beads and bright colored decorations. Don’t miss out on the best party of the year. The MAC hosts one of the longest running and most glamorous New Year’s Eve parties in St. Louis.
Keeping with the Mardi Gras theme, specialty hurricane drinks will be served in souvenir glasses you get to keep. An open bar is included in the cost, so you will be able to drink all night for just one price. You won’t have to worry about settling your tab at the end of the night or having enough cash for all of your drinks, the MAC has made it easy for you so you can enjoy your evening with family and friends.
This year, revelers are encouraged to dress to the theme with lots of feathers, masks, beads and bright colors. Jacket and tie is required. Creative black tie is optional and a call to have fun with your look. Come in your tux with a brightly colored cummerbund or pocket square or wacky tie, and ladies don’t forget the glitz and glimmer. Creativity is encouraged, so don’t be afraid to express the spirit of Mardi Gras in your outfit.
Mardi Gras Madness will get underway at 7:30 p.m. with lavish hors d’oeuvres and an oyster/crawfish bar. A delicious three-course dinner will be served at 8:45 p.m. followed by dancing and entertainment from Arvell and Co. At midnight you’ll ring in the New Year with a champagne toast. After a night of Mardi Gras madness you can refuel before going on to your next destination with a continental breakfast that will be set up in the lobby at 1 a.m.
Continue the Mardi Gras celebration on New Year’s Day at the New Orleans Jazz brunch. There will be traditional New Orleans fare and musical entertainment.
Make your reservation today and let the Mardi Gras madness begin! Call 314-539-4470 for a reservation.
