Newport Lofts hosts Miss Universe party

Beauty was prevalent on the rooftop of Newport Lofts July 13 when a new high-rise community located in downtown Las Vegas hosted a private 2008 Miss Universe VIP Viewing Party.

"Our SkyDeck is where residents at Newport Lofts connect. This great space invites daily homeowner gatherings as well as private events.

We were pleased to offer our space to the Miss Nevada USA and Miss Nevada Teen organization.

They were looking for a unique, impressive location with a backdrop equal to the beauty of the contestants of the Miss Universe contest," said Adam Gafke, Newport Lofts sales agent.

In honor of the event, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman made a proclamation designating July 13, 2008, as "Miss Universe Viewing Party Day in fabulous Downtown Las Vegas."

Serving as celebrity host was Paul Murad, author of "Manhattanizing Las Vegas" and president of METROPLEX Group, and celebrity guest host was Justine Pasek, Miss Universe 2002.

The condominium community's 168 loft-style living spaces can be customized to measure from 911 to 3,052 square feet. Prices begin at $319 per square foot.

The development is located at 200 Hoover Ave., near the intersection of Casino Center Boulevard in downtown Las Vegas.

The sales office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
