RH LAS VEGAS
Kristen Graves Winchell GRAND OPENING and Ron Winchell Influencers from the worlds of entertainment, design, fashion, art, philanthropy, and business gathered to celebrate the unveiling of RH Las Vegas at Tivoli Village. The event featured a DJ performance by Chris Malinchak on the rooftop and a guest appearance by Shannon and actress and supermodel Amber Valletta. Bill McBeath Guests enjoyed gourmet bites by Nobu and sipped Bellinis by Cipriani NYC and Todd Wilbur and wines by Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley. The Pamela Ellis event benefitted local charity After-School All-Stars Las Vegas. Commanding four levels and 60,000 square feet, the new retail experience features artistic installations of home furnishings in a gallery setting—including an entire floor dedicated to RH Amber Valletta Modern with an integrated RH Michael and Jenna Morton Contemporary Art Gallery.
