Midas Hotel and Casino welcomed the holiday season with much joy and love as it held its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Adding to the sparkles of Christmas trinkets and décor are the awardees of its first-ever Iconic Artists Award. Kenneth Cobonpue, Ryan Cayabyab, Avel Bacudo, Sari Yap, and Brilliante Mendoza received the hotel's recognition of their immense talent and contributions to Filipino artistry. Awarded as well are Cynthia and Ivy Almario for leading the innovation of Philippine interior design---who altogether designed the Midas Hotel and Casino's lobby lounge when it opened in 2011.
