Mario Barth at Sundance Film Festival
Mario Barth's King Ink tore the roof off of Park City Live for two nights in a row at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. King Ink presented Deadmau5 Unhooked on Sunday night, transforming Park City Live into the ultimate dance destination. Celebrity DJ Deadmau5, Motley Crue drummer and DJ Tommy Lee, DJ Aero, and Mario Barth all posed on the red carpet for pictures before heading into the venue. Mario and Tommy Lee were then greeted by socialite Paris Hilton, who shouted to her friends that Mario was "the best tattoo artist in the world." After Tommy Lee and DJ Aero rocked the stage, Deadmau5 performed and the entire venue went crazy. Deadmau5, Tommy Lee, DJ Aero, and Mario Barth all partied into the early morning hours.
On Monday, Mario Barth's King Ink presented a Sundance 2012 Affair hosted by Drake and Friends. Again, King Ink had Park City Live rocking with DJ's Future the Prince and DJ Reach. Country musician Zac Brown even stopped into the venue to see what everyone in the packed line was raving about. As soon as Drake made it to his VIP area, fans went crazy swarmed the superstar rapper's table. After having a few drinks, Drake toasted the crowd in signature "Young Money" style and partied the night away with his entourage.

The Mirage Aquarium
The readers of Shermans Travel have decided that our lobby's aquarium is one the best in the world! Ranking at #7, The Mirage's 20,000 gallon saltwater aquarium is the best place to see our 400 coral reef fish from 85 different species.
One of the most technically advanced aquariums in the world, our highly advanced filtration system is automated to monitor the life of the fish as well as manage multiple sensors, probes and pumps. All of the different aspects of the life support system work in conjunction with one another, so if one pump fails then the backup pump will automatically know to turn on.
All fish inside the aquarium are closely monitored for optimal health. If a fish looks unhealthy, it will be removed from the tank and kept in an isolation tank for diagnosis and treatment until it’s ready to join it’s friends in the aquarium once more!
