City is a beautiful space that has so much flexibility in its function space. The Foyers have windows. To be able to see out to the bay area is great! There is a lot of great meeting space, whether your group consists of five or 5,000 people. When we built, we want- ed to have the flexibility for small or large groups, so we have lot of divisible air walls and flexibility.”


Polici also notes that the property is repositioning itself with a lot of great food and beverage outlets, and every- thing is customizable.


Polici advises that, when it comes to putting on a holiday party, the most important thing to ask a group is what the holiday season represents to them?


“Companies still have year end cele- brations, but maybe it is not holiday focused,” she explains. “Some have


changed from the standard party to more of a community service event. Thank your employees and give back at the same time. Maybe your group can take those funds and give back with a toy drive... building bikes, or donating to a food bank.”


Adds Polici, the key is that one-size does not fit all, so figure out what your goal is and then ask a lot of questions in order to find the perfect fit.


For more traditional holiday celebra- tions, Polici notes that people still love to get dressed up. “Theme parties can be great. Choose a monochromatic look for a party, or a special moment in time to celebrate,” she suggests, adding that Caesars Entertainment looks forward to helping with a theme by doing things like creating a special- ized menu to go along with it.


“We did a ‘70s party and researched ‘70s food for the menu,” she continues. “We went and bought TV trays to serve from and had macaroni and cheese, chicken a la king and a Jell-O mold… it added a fun flair to the holiday party.”


When theming a party with a mono- chromatic look, Polici says that can be very interesting from a visual perspec- tive, and planners are able to incorpo- rate it into everything - from the food to the vessels its served in and even to the ice.


“Red is my favorite thing for this year, and a few weeks ago we did a ‘bet on red’ party,” recalls Polici. “We had all red candy stations, served red gazpa- cho, strawberry lemonade, Red Vines, Red Hots and Mike & Ikes. Everything was in clear vessels, which really made the red ‘pop’ [visually].”Polici adds that
