Neiman's selling end-zone party

Published: Oct. 8, 2008 at 3:20 PM

DALLAS, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- The signature gift in the 2008 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is aimed at football fans with well-heeled friends -- a party with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.

For $530,000, the giftee gets an end-of-season celebration in one of the end zones at Texas Stadium, The Dallas Morning News reports.

Those with less disposable cash can settle for a limited edition BMW sedan, which comes with a trip to the French Riviera, all for $160,000. This year, BMW plans to make only 31 of the 2007 BMW Individual 7 Series, one for each year the company has operated in the United States.

There are also life-size Lego portraits for $60,000.

This year's Christmas Book features no items costing less than $100. Those have been banished to a smaller catalog, the Morning News said.

Neiman Marcus executives say that Internet sales outweigh those from the catalog. This year, the company has also been hit hard by the sagging economy, recently reporting a fourth-quarter loss that was twice its loss in the same period last year.
