Solaire announces Solaire celebrity endorser Martin Nievera

Solaire Resort & Casino has announced its new celebrity endorser, the Philippines’ Concert King, Martin Nievera. The renowned singer - songwriter stars in a music video of a song he co-wrote with Moy Ortiz entitled “Follow the Sun”, showcasing Solaire with Martin singing and swinging all around his new home.

If the casinos along the world-famous Las Vegas strip had Sinatra, we at Solaire have Nievera!

Solaire, the only Filipino-owned integrated resort located in the rapidly evolving Entertainment City, provides a grand venue for luxurious accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment, and recreation, all with the magnificent view of the Manila Bay sunset.

It made its mark as a world-class destination when its Sky Tower was awarded 5 Stars by Forbes Travel Guide.

“Martin embodies who Solaire is – he is a homegrown star, known for his many talents. Nievera, a multi-awarded, world-class performer definitely knows the finer things in life. He’s a perfect match for Solaire,” said Cyrus Sherafat, Senior Vice President for Casino Marketing.

In his own words Nievera says, “Having traveled around the world performing and experiencing world-class service wherever I go, Solaire certainly stands out among the best. What makes me gleam with pride the most is that around the world, the Filipino talent is imported to smoothly operate their resorts and casinos.  In Solaire, that same world-class service I get is here, making my every stay a true five-star experience.”
                   

Prior to the announcement, Nievera has performed various sold-out shows at The Theatre and hopes to continue performing there like it was his own “home theater,” and at the same time personally invite some of his already famous friends to do the same.

“Performing at The Theatre at Solaire is a world-class experience. We have housed some of the most popular Broadway productions and continue to give Filipino audiences a chance to see some of the biggest names internationally known, not to mention keeping OPM alive by showcasing outstanding performances by our own homegrown talents. Every time I perform in The Theatre, I feel so proud to be a Filipino artist and I am excited to show off The Theatre’s amazing facilities to anyone and everyone who steps inside. The show better be good, because the venue is already awesome!”

Throughout his two-year endorsement, Nievera will be doing more shows for Solaire that are both open to the public and exclusive to its VIP guests.
