The Bellagio just announced a collaboration with Marriott Bonvoy to create an all-in-one immersive experience. This all-inclusive guest pass will allow up to 16 guests to experience the shows of a lifetime, including cirque du soleil, the bellagio fountain show, and the ultimate golf weekend at Shadow Creek. This collaboration extends an already gracious offer into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Steve Zanella, President of MGM Resorts Operations, said, “MGM Resorts destinations are iconic for their breadth of unrivaled entertainment experiences, world-class dining and superior hospitality. With the MGM Collection, we are thrilled to unveil the world MGM Rewards members have been experiencing for years to Marriott Bonvoy’s passionate members.”

Another perk of staying at the Bellagio is exclusive access to The Harvest at Bellagio, one of Vegas’ highest-rated restaurants. Jetset’s own Greg Fahlman had the unique opportunity to eat at the universally beloved Harvest at Bellagio. This prestigious restaurant is around the corner from the Bellagio Conservatory, at the heart of the Bellagio. Take a glance at the American-inspired menu.

 

The Bellagio’s French Riviera concept brings some of the world’s finest foods to the heart of Las Vegas. This healthy, fresh dining concept just celebrated its ninth year in business on Christmas Eve 2023. The Harvest offers a fine selection of seasonal dishes, including but not limited to rib eye steak, local ale brine, and freshly picked vegetables.

If you do end up dining at the Harvest at Bellagio, don’t forget to wear business casual attire.

Mercedes-Benz has announced its first-ever US Residences, standing alongside iconic brands such Porche and Bentley.  This groundbreaking venture introduces Mercedes-Benz to the prestigious Brickell, Miami, with SHoP Architects—renowned for their work on Uber HQ and 335 Madison Avenue—leading the design. SHoP’s reputation for unparalleled design excellence promises a Miami project that’s nothing short of spectacular.

The collaboration extends to JDS Development Group, together embarking on a project that transcends conventional luxury. Spanning 67 stories, the development will house over 700 residences and 200 hotel rooms, catering to the elite. From studios to three-bedroom units, the residences are set to welcome their first occupants in 2027, with SERHANT overseeing sales.

Aesthetically, the H-shaped tower draws eyes with its staunch individualism. Each balcony, particularly those facing South, offers breathtaking views of South Beach, the draw of the Sunshine State.

Michael Stern, CEO of JDS Development group said of the partnership, “It is a privilege to work with Mercedes-Benz and move beyond a traditional residential building to create a new community for the future.” The Mercedes-Benz tower distinguishes itself not only through its branding but also via its commitment to sustainability in materials and design.

Part of the Mercedes-Benz tower project is a complete overhaul of Southside Park, an expansion which aims to create a more sustainable lifestyle for the people of Brickell. Not only will the citrus-rich environment create a healthy living space, but Mercedes-Benz tower will also support a wide range of local environmentally-friendly activities.

This architectural masterpiece is a magnificent addition to the gorgeous Miami skyline- and another option for Miami luxury living.

Earlier this week, the Miami International Boat Show rocked the yachting world with a series of spectacular debuts. Here are a few of Jetset Magazine’s favorite sneak peeks.

Volvo Penta

Legendary motor manufacture Volvo Penta returned to MIBS 2024 with one goal: expanding boating culture to general outdoor enthusiasts. Volvo Penta’s new engines have high-performance and high-comfort wave capabilities. Introducing their new promising slogan: Forward is the only way, and the forward drive propulsion system steals the show.

Jens Bering, VP of Marine sales, says, “We’re excited to invite both seasoned and new boating enthusiasts to visit us at the Miami Boat Show to experience ‘Forward is the Only Way’ and see how carefree adventure can be.”

The Volvo Penta’s MIBS 2024 appearance comes with a guarantee: You haven’t seen the last of their  dynamic engines.

Solaris 52 Open

This year, Solaris Power showed off three of their flagship models. The 52 Open, one of their best sellers, is a 12-person showstopper with a top speed of 41 mph. This new tourer comes fitted with credibly convenient touchscreen cockpit to customize every aspect of your travel, creating the perfect wake.

Solaris’ 52 Open runs on twin diesel Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800 engines. Its layout is customizable between three different layouts, each fitted for a different outdoor activity, be it diving or grilling. The interiors for this boat are designed by Roseo Design. The exterior is done by Brunello Acampora, a designer who specializes in group dynamics. This grand tourer has room for 12 guests.

Tiara EX 54

The Tiara EX 54 debuted at MIBS 2024. This is a rendition of the Tiara EX 60, carrying over a few important motifs. These include sliding glass windows, a big bow entertaining area, and a drop-down salon section. The glass module, which was on display, features a rear glass panel facing the hydraulic platform. This creates perfect, safe diving conditions.

There are three cabins: the main, the master, and the guest cabin. The guest cabin on the EX 54 has bunk beds instead of twin beds.

Pininfarina x Derecktor

Stealing the show at this year’s Miami International Boat Show was a collaboration announcement between Pininfarina and Derecktor. Pininfarina’s creative expertise and Derecktor’s manufacturing quality are a pairing guaranteed success. The US branch of Pininfarina of America aims to set a new paradigm for yacht interior and exterior design, combined with Derecktor’s legendary manufacturing.

This legendary collaboration between two brands is the second of its kind. Their last collaboration was 25 years ago. Back in 1999, Derecktor and Pininfarina created teh BUQUEBUS Catamaran, an ultra-high-speed vessel topping at 52 knots. At the time, it was the fastest passenger-only catamaran in the world.

“Pininfarina from now on will be able to offer its nautical exterior and interior design capabilities to prospective clients and build their yacht directly at the Dereckto facility as a one-stop shop,” Paolo Trevisan, SVP of Design for Pininfarina, stated.

Both of these brands are pushing 100 years old, and their combined experience will create a boating experience for the ages.

Azimut Magellano 30M

The Azimut Magellano 30M is a crossover coupe with an undeniable presence. The 30M is a contemporary twist on the Magellano 25M. It has two more cabins than its predecessor. Both vessels have twin engines that cap at about 24 knots.

Vincent De Cotiis, interior designer of both boats, designed everything to be half height so as not to distract from the majesty of the sea. Despite this, he succeeds in his goal of prioritizing comfort for the users. He uses irregular shapes and artistic fiberglass to create a rhythmic aesthetic. The short sofas separate the bar, living areas, and lunch area.

The Infinity Terrace creates an optical illusion that opens up the cockpit and creates a feeling of broad expanse. Further enhancing this feeling, the main deck offers a 270-degree view of the water. Upstairs, there’s a sky lounge for a full, uninterrupted 360-degree view.

Between the window interior art and hull design, the Magellano 30M offers an unparalleled experience inside and out.

Tomorrow, Chris-Craft will unveil a new boat at the Miami International Boat Show in honor of its 150th anniversary. Chris-Craft representatives will be at MIBS every day this week, from February 14th to 18th. In addition, they brought their newest piece to showcase to the market, the anniversary edition of its Launch 27.

Chris-Craft’s Launch 27 anniversary edition honors the legacy of this beloved yachting brand. On top of the already-iconic Launch series design, this new one features a 150th burgee and a steering wheel cap.

Stephen Heese, president of Chris-Craft, will be speaking, along with Ron Berman, VP of engineering. Allison Scharnow, VP of marketing & customer experience at Chris-Craft will be attending as well. Their showcase will honor the past of the brand as well as embrace its future. They’ve recently expanded their manufacturing operations in Sarasota, Florida, in preparation for the next 150 years of business.

“Very few companies have the privilege of prospering long enough to celebrate a 150th anniversary,” said Stephen Heese, president. “Since 1874, our boats have been beloved andpassed down to generations of owners worldwide. While we are excited to celebrate this milestone, we are committed to furthering the legacy of Chris-Craft by continuing to invest in new technologies and designs that captivates boaters today and tomorrow.”

 

Chris-Craft’s 150th anniversary doesn’t end here! Throughout all of 2024, they will be celebrating Christ-Craft owners and dealers, giving special attention to its history and owner stories across generations. It is a luxury brand that has caught the eye of historical figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt, JFK and Frank Sinatra. Its timeless elegance has been depicted in many movies, including Mission: Impossible and On Golden Pond.

Bentley Residences Miami, the brainchild of real estate mogul Gil Dezer, is set to open its doors in early 2027. This collaboration between his company and Bentley is one for the books.

Every residence in this luxury tower boasts unprecedented design, constructed entirely with sustainable materials. Envision expansive interiors graced with elegant wood finishes and handcrafted Italian furniture. Marble surfaces lavish the floors, counters, and tables. The state-of-the-art built-in kitchen seamlessly integrates into the walls, offering both functionality and aesthetic flexibility.

Each unit features an expansive outdoor living area, adding an extra 2,000 square feet of luxury. The terraces come equipped with an outdoor shower, a comprehensive outdoor kitchen, and a private infinity pool. Residents facing southeast enjoy unparalleled ocean views. The building’s diamond-shaped glass panels, meticulously angled, ensure optimal natural light without excessive brightness.

Bentley Residences Miami guarantees proximity to the beach, blending luxury with the tranquility of the seaside.

Exclusive Amenities

Every residence comes with three or four in-level parking spaces. That brings us to the main event- the thing you’ve certainly seen if you haven’t seen Bentley Residences- the Dezervator. Put simply, the Dezervator is an elevator that transports you and four of your cars directly into your living room.

Bentley Residences Miami embodies the Bentley identity in every aspect. The iconic Bentley knurling is a tactile experience on every surface. Residents will enjoy exclusive amenities like a private cinema, a VR game room, a wellness center, and a spa.

The luxury market has long grappled with the pervasive issue of counterfeit products. As we move into 2024, a groundbreaking solution emerges to combat this fraud: Entrupy.

Entrupy is an innovative app designed to authenticate luxury products. By scanning the item and analyzing its SKU, this app utilizes advanced AI technology to swiftly determine its authenticity. This tool is invaluable, especially when purchasing from unfamiliar sources or resellers. Entrupy meticulously inspects the intricate details of luxury goods, offering a staggering 99% accuracy in verifying their legitimacy.

However, Entrupy isn’t the only line of defense against fakes. Consumers should also be vigilant about the quality and craftsmanship of their purchases. Luxury brands like Rolex, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton are commonly targeted by counterfeiters, who sell these knock-offs at inflated prices. To avoid falling prey to such scams, closely scrutinize the finer aspects of the product.

The impact of counterfeit luxury goods extends beyond tarnishing brand reputations. These fakes often compromise on quality, utilizing inferior materials, potentially hazardous chemicals, and even flammable components. This not only diminishes the consumer’s experience but also devalues the genuine articles by associating the brand with substandard quality.

Entrupy steps in to safeguard both consumers and their beloved brands. Signing up for the service is straightforward – download the Entrupy app and select a suitable plan. Plans start at an affordable $119 a month for five scans, a small price for the peace of mind and financial security it offers. This service eliminates the need for costly appraisals or the risk of investing in dubious products.

In instances where the app’s verdict is uncertain, Entrupy’s experts intervene, providing a confirmation of authenticity within 24 hours of the request. Entrupy is more than just a tool; it’s a shield against financial loss and disappointment. In the realm of luxury goods, if it’s not verified by Entrupy, it’s best to steer clear.

At BOOT Düsseldorf 2023 from January 20th to January 28th, Omikron Yachts is set to unveil their latest marvel. Attendees at the Düsseldorf event are in for an exclusive treat as they will be the first to lay eyes on this newly crafted yacht.

The OT60, at first glance, might seem familiar, but it’s far from ordinary. While it combines the efficiency of a sailing yacht with the heft of a motor yacht, the OT60 offers much more. It is designed to cruise comfortably at 8-13 knots, boasting a top speed of 15 knots. Remarkably, at a cruising speed of 8 knots, it can journey a staggering 1,000 miles on a single tank.

The yacht’s energy efficiency is primarily attributed to a custom hull designed by exterior architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, based in Valencia, Spain. Lorenzo Argento masterfully designed both the interior and exterior, delivering a seamless and iconic vision that blends style with functionality across two decks. The yacht radiates luxury with its meticulous details, sleek controls, and a white-gold aesthetic. The interiors, styled by Ciarmoli Queda Studio, feature natural materials, neutral tones, and tactile finishes, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Nikolas Dendrinos, Chairman of Olympic Marine, the parent company of Omikron Yachts, shared insights into the OT60’s conception: “The OT60 was created in the spirit of the Greek island-hopping lifestyle, blending a love for elegant and comfortable sea journeys… For us, it’s not merely about promoting our product, but about igniting a shift in the industry towards sustainable solutions that don’t add complexity or cost, benefiting both the environment and yachting enthusiasts.”

Omikron Yachts, deeply inspired by the Aegean sea-hopping lifestyle, is poised to shine at BOOT Düsseldorf later this month with the public debut of the OT60.

Landing Daher’s TBM 960

Meet Kevin Kaseff, the fortunate recipient of the 100th TBM 960 delivery. Achieving 100 sales since its launch in April 2022 is a significant milestone for this personal aircraft. Kaseff, President of Titan Real Estate Investment Group, Inc., transitions from his simple piston-engine plane to join the global community of TBM aviators. He aims to leverage his new aircraft for business expansion.

“My home base is near Santa Maria on California’s Central Coast, which has very limited commercial airline service. Having a personal airplane is extremely valuable as I continue to develop my business,” Kaseff explained. “The TBM 960 offers the efficiency I need in terms of speed, range, and airport access. Plus its turboprop engine generates fewer carbon emissions than a jet.”

He acquired his plane through Daher’s California-based partner, Avex, which services the Southwestern United States.

“We are particularly proud that the 100th TBM 960 has been delivered to a newcomer to the TBM community,” said Nicolas Chabbert, Senior Vice President of Daher’s Aircraft Division. “It confirms that this is the quintessential TBM, meeting the needs of entrepreneurs like Kevin Kaseff, who require a safe and efficient personal transportation tool.”

The prestigious cabin offers amenities like LED ambiance lighting, electronically-dimmable windows, and an advanced environmental control system from Enviro Systems Inc. for optimal cabin temperature and humidity control.

The TBM 960 prioritizes safety, comfort, and pilot control. Other cabin enhancements include ergonomically designed seats as well as USB-A and USB-C power plugs. It also has readily available inflight Wi-Fi.

Under the hood, this private plane is powered by the PT6e-66XT turboprop engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada, a custom design for this model. It features dual electric channels and a propeller electronic control system for superior performance. At recommended cruise settings of 308 knots, it achieves a fuel consumption of 57 gallons per hour, a 10% improvement over maximum cruise settings.

TBM 960

From advanced safety features to sophisticated inflight entertainment, the TBM 960 caters to a variety of needs and preferences.
