READER PICKS » The Best Seats, Bar None

WHEN THE 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT BIG APPLE BAR in the New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas wanted to create an intimate atmosphere, MTS Seating delivered in more ways than one: 831 to be exact.

"The 831 Novella lounge chairs and Caf? Twist bar stools provide a look of intimacy and elegance, a perfect atmosphere for winding down after an eventful day or gearing up for an exciting night," explains Tom Recine, assistant VP, F&B. "Although the Big Apple Bar can accommodate hundreds of guests, as well as the hottest entertainment, we wanted to convey a more intimate setting."

MTS Seating delivered in 25,000 ways for another Las Vegas property, the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. It purchased 25,000 MTS Como COMFORTflexT chairs for its Banquet and Convention Center completed in January 2003.

"We chose MTS in favor of the overall quality and elegance of the chair, in addition to the competitive price MTS offers," says John Marz, VP, corporate marketing. "MTS offered us a lightweight, yet high-strength aluminum frame, with a flexible back and seat that provides optimal comfort for our guests."

MTS is recognized for its premium quality furniture, continual product improvement, and unparalleled customer service. -SBH
