I know what you’re thinking: An aquarium in the desert? Sure, why not? You think the fish at the aquariums by the ocean just walked into their tanks off the beach? Of course not. So the idea of a world-class aquarium in the middle of the Mohave really shouldn’t seem so hard to swallow. Hey, this is Vegas, we make magic happen every darn day.

Is it wrong that I want to pretend I’m a rock star? You can do it. You can stroll through the lobby and feel like the party is about to break out and you’ve learned how to handle the groupies. The Hard Rock Hotel has a reputation to uphold and you can be sure to add to the legend. However, I should add that with a few tips you can have the rock star atmosphere and plenty of that rest and relaxation that you might be seeking. You should walk around and look at the memorabilia on the walls.

Smearing is the process by which you rub the toe of your climbing shoe into the rock. Somehow it sticks and you take an otherwise flat surface and make it work for you.

Each and everyday I get hungry and make bad decisions. It’s almost cruel the way my body metabolizes because it practically forces me to choose the wrong foods. I should point out that what I mean by the wrong foods is really me saying “I can’t lose weight.” Pool season is around the corner and I am about to tell you where to go and have a hot dog. Yes, how insane am I that I am about to tell you to take some time out of your Las Vegas vacation to have a hot dog? Very, but you’ll thank me.

It’s Friday, It’s Vegas. Let’s make some magic. But this weekend, let’s do things a little differently. Instead of big an boisterous, just once, let’s try small and stylish. I’m talking about Surrender, the more intimate nightclub at Encore with cool design and sexy sounds. A more insidery crowd comes to Surrender, not that there’s anything underground about it, but these are the folks who are more interested in a good time than bragging about being somewhere famous.
