This year the resort welcomed Madison and a Lucille Ball impersonator for a traditional grape stomping that was reminiscent of the iconic “Lucy” scene on the property’s Strip-side harvest-themed patio. The daytime event coincided with the start of festivities at midnight in Paris, France.

Honoring the long tradition regulated by French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is released no sooner than the third Thursday of November, when it is ready for consumption just weeks after the harvest. Thus, at one minute past midnight, huge celebrations are held all over the world to taste the latest wine of the harvest. More than 65 million bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau will be consumed in the months to follow.
