Since 1976, the Marnell family name has been synonymous with architectural vision, quality and integrity. The Marnells set the standard for casino-resorts worldwide with the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, which became the benchmark for many innovations in Las Vegas and throughout the world that are still widely used today.

The 390 room boutique resort caters to both Las Vegas residents and out-of-town guests. It is the first property travelers from Southern California encounter when driving in to Las Vegas.

~ New Concept by Mario Barth Combines Tattooing and Nightlife In One of Vegas' Most Popular Destinations ~

Tattoo mogul Mario Barth partners with The Mirage and The Light Group as Las Vegas' new triple threat. Barth created Mario Barth at The Mirage, an exclusive lifestyle tattoo studio, interactive lounge and bar room. The baroque inspired venue is set to open its doors winter 2010.

The 4,000 square foot venue is strewn with marble flooring, lavish fabrics, extravagant chandeliers and chairs fit for a king. The traditional elaborate decor will be balanced with a rock 'n' roll edge including glass skulls which will adorn the bar.

The tattooing portion of the venue, also known as King Ink, is operated by Mario Barth and his top rate team. King Ink will only have state-of-the-art equipment and the finest tattoo artists available. For the first time in Las Vegas, tattoo enthusiasts will be given the chance to book an appointment with world-renowned tattoo artist and CEO Mario Barth himself, skipping the typical two-year wait list.

Guests of Mario Barth at The Mirage will enjoy a high-tech interactive lounge and hot spot nightly as well as relax and sip champagne on the outdoor patio. The lounge and bar room will be managed by Las Vegas' own The Light Group.

"We're excited to have partnered with Mario Barth on this new venture which will continue to change the face of Vegas' nightlife scene," said Andy Masi, partner and CEO of The Light Group. "Mario Barth at The Mirage will be one of the most highly anticipated openings in Las Vegas this winter and we're thrilled to be a part of it."

As the first of its kind, Mario Barth at The Mirage and King Ink will encapsulate cutting-edge tattoo fashion and lifestyle.

Scott Sibella, president and COO of The Mirage said, "Introducing Mario into The Mirage family is an absolute privilege for us. His energy, proven track record and reputation around the globe make this new venture a sure-fire hit."
