As the weather cools down in many parts of our great nation, Las Vegas and M lifestyle, the magazine of MGM MIRAGE, continue to sizzle.

In this issue, we meet up with one of the most brilliant, renowned actors of our time, Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins takes us on a journey through his past and shares how it has shaped his present and future.

Bellagio's Master Sommelier, Jay James, takes us on a tour of his top stops in California's Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Match one of Jay's wine selections with a holiday recipe from our culinary experts. We also provide you with tips on how to add some style to your seasonal entertaining. Finally, dazzle your gift giving with suggestions from our objects-of-desire guide.

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

J. Terrence Lanni
Chairman and CEO
