MGM GRAND TO HOST CULINARY FEST
Gather around, kids, it’s time for a little lesson in ancient Chinese history. Diaoyutai, an ancient name for “fishing terrace,” is a self-reflecting destination in Beijing that dates back almost 800 years, when Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty fished at the location. Over the years, this tranquil environment has been a retreat for Chinese royalty, but more recently, has opened its doors to house big shot dignitaries from across the world. Full of ornate gardens and pavilions, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse puts a back corner room in the White House to shame.
What the hell does this have to do with Vegas you ask?
