Built in collaboration with McCarthy Building Companies Inc., Tré Builders, Steelman Partners and Circa’s Director of Design and Architecture, Alice O’Keefe, Circa’s uniquely tapered 71-degree tower provides some of the best unobstructed views of the city. Standing at an impressive 458 feet tall, the hotel tower and Legacy Club round out Circa’s world-class offerings including the world’s largest sportsbook; a 365-day/year pool experience, Stadium Swim; several original food & beverage concepts; a two-story casino and much more, all of which opened October 28.

ROOMS & SUITES

Housed inside the tallest hotel tower north of the Strip, Circa’s chic rooms and suites boast captivating views of Las Vegas Blvd., Stadium Swim and the Valley’s surrounding mountain ranges. Using an Art Deco aesthetic both in style and furnishings, the rooms celebrate Downtown’s history and art scene through works curated by DAC Art Consulting. Featured artists include Jelaine Faunce, Deidra Wilson, Schinn Loong, Sarah Scherf and Adolfo Gonzalez with Yesco.

Each of Circa’s standard rooms are equipped with a Serta Prestige king mattress; mini refrigerator; tablet for booking reservations at the sportsbook, restaurants and Stadium Swim; and a control panel for the room’s light settings. Select rooms incorporate built-in Inova beds, which can be pulled down from the wall and transform the living space with an extra bed instantly.

Circa’s first hotel guests will be gifted with a limited edition 18k gold plated bar, decorated with Circa’s logo and opening date. The bars also will be available for purchase in Circa’s gift shop for $125.

STANDARD ROOMS

Ranging from 403 to 752 square feet, Circa’s standard rooms are designed to maximize space. Room types consist of a single king, double king and flex kings, offering either single or double beds, multiple seating areas for relaxing or entertaining, nearly ceiling-height custom headboards, guest refrigerators, dual vanities and 55-inch flat-screen HDTVs.  

Another distinctive accommodation is the 360-degree Circa Studio rooms, featuring defined living areas and comfy beds. For this room type, a king-size bed is placed in the center of the room and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and amenities, transforming the space into a loft experience. 

SUITES

Circa’s stunning suite collection spans from 822 to 1,612 square feet and are a glamorous way to get the party started.

BUNK BED SUITES & PADS

Available in 713-square-foot pads and 1,362-square-foot suites include living rooms with a wet bar and refrigerator, a charger port for each bed, couches with views of the skyline through sweeping windows, as well as a full dining area.

Art installations, upgraded finishes, a signature scent and separate powder room complete the experience. Its spacious bedrooms have oversized bathrooms, separate vanity table, flat-screen HDTVs and seating with views of the city.

A tip of the hat to those who made Las Vegas the entertainment destination it is today, Legacy Club’s entryway houses a series of custom metal busts of iconic Vegas pioneers and legends. This includes Jackie Gaughan, Benny Binion, Jay Sarno, Kirk Kerkorian, Sam Boyd, Steve Wynn, William Bennett, Bob Stupak, Barron Hilton and Howard Hughes, as well as Frank Fertitta, who will be added in the coming weeks. Adorning the walls is an artistic collection of painted portraits of each of the legendary gentleman, as well as a black-and-white photograph of Las Vegas power couple Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Oscar Goodman.

A must-see photo opportunity in Legacy Club is a captivating display of 1,000 ounces of pure gold.

MOSCOW, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Institutional Investor, a leading global financial publication, has named PhosAgro the Most Honoured Company and recognised members of PhosAgro’s senior management team as the best in EMEA chemicals sector.

The annual Emerging EMEA Executive Team ranking of the best CEOs and CFOs and leading IR practitioners according to members of the investment community this year showed PhosAgro in first place in six categories in the chemicals sector:

  • Best CEOs Overall – Andrey Guryev;
  • Best CFOs Overall – Alexander Sharabaiko;
  • Best IR Professionals Overall – Andrey Serov;
  • Best IR Program;
  • Best Investor Days Overall; and
  • Best ESG Metrics Overall

The survey results reflect the opinions of 385 leading investment professionals at 240 financial services firms. All votes are weighted by rating (five being excellent; one being average) and attributes within each category were aggregated to create the CEO, CFO, IR Professional, IR Program, ESG and Investor Day rankings. The overall rankings in each of the categories are based on combined buy- and sell-side votes.

PhosAgro Board of Directors Chair Xavier Rolet said: «Recognition of the achievements of the company as a whole and of members of the management team by one of the world’s most authoritative financial publications is the best feedback that we could receive from the investment community and testimony to the growth path that PhosAgro has chosen. As Chair of the Board of Directors, it is important for me to see that the company maintains regular and open dialogue with its investors, with market experts and with other stakeholders; sets itself more ambitious goals every year; and sets a high standard for other companies in the chemical sector to follow not just across the EMEA region but also globally.

«It is important to note that the company’s results are receiving ever more feedback from the market. In August 2020 the authoritative MSCI ESG Research agency raised PhosAgro’s rating to BBB, and in November the company significantly improved its position in the Sustainalytics ESG risk rating. I am pleased that PhosAgro is producing such impressive results and I am confident that the company will continue to progress on all fronts.»

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — GoodGirlPR is pleased to announce an untitled collaboration between Christina Jones and composer/pianist Kimiko Ishizaka to be released in 2021. The album will consist of original, heart wrenching songs – all in the name of saving love. Further collaborators are Corey Allen (arranger & producer) who has previously worked with the Manhattan Transfer, Chuck Mangione, and Lou Rawls, as well as Latin Grammy winner Allan Leschhorn (sound engineer). 

During the unprecedented times of COVID-19, divorce and breakup rates are steadily increasing, and Kimiko Ishizaka wrote these songs specifically to save her love and marriage. Christina Jones will give voice to the feelings and emotions of someone who has been left, and who is fighting to save that love. 

The collaboration between Christina and Kimiko began during the pandemic lockdown when the two still managed to collaborate remotely to produce the first demo songs. Christina will travel to the Dominican Republic in 2021 to work with Corey Allen and Allan Leschhorn to complete the album.

Kimiko discovered Christina while watching a virtual orchestra video produced by students of the Berklee School of Music. After collaborating remotely throughout most of 2020, Kimiko said of Christina: 

«Christina is a brilliant musician and powerful storyteller. Her voice brings songs to life, and I am thrilled that she has taken on the project of sharing my songs with the world.»

About Christina Jones
As a musical theater major at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, up-and-coming artist Christina Jones knew that music would always play an instrumental role in her life. Christina started her pursuit in art as a young girl by singing in church and school musicals, where she discovered her passion for music and began entering competitions.

She entered the world of performing arts and music theater and her talents landed her in the Top 40 of American Idol, alongside multiple appearances at The Apollo in Harlem, NY. Christina’s conscious drive and dedication also earned her roles in musicals at the New Repertory Theater and Central Square Theater in 2021.

With influences like Ella Fitzgerald, Janelle Monae, Alicia Keys, and Maya Angelou, Christina has a unique, artistic style that translates strong feelings of purpose into her poetry and songwriting. Her jazz and R&B background resonates through her lyrics and personal creative projects, including her most recent project titled «America the Dream» with founders Shelbie Rassler and Steve Schuch.
