Hard-hitting, heart pumping and all around adrenaline-driving action is exactly what you’ll find at Battlefield Vegas. With a full breadth of artillery and 5 acres of a military-style complex, you will take your Black Ops/Call of Duty gaming experience to a whole new level.

As part of the St. Patrick’s Day celebration and to kickoff the Celtic Feis festival on Saturday, March 15, New York-New York Hotel and Casino unveiled their renovated Strip-front façade.

When in Vegas, well, anything goes, except for your attire when you’re hittin’ the clubs. It’s imperative that you adhere to the strict dress code to avoid a large, angry bouncer telling you to go back to the hotel to find something more suitable.

Just because local John Doe next to you in line gets in wearing a t-shirt and holey jeans; doesn’t guarantee you will. Play it safe. Galavantier wants you to get in the club and have a great time, so just follow the simple Do & Don’t checklist and you’re sure to get on the in-list.

Since we are talking golf we should mention that next month the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational is going on at Shadow Creek Golf Course.  The tournament is hosted by Aria Resort and casino and has a huge list of celebrities that try to tame the beast that is Shadow Creek.

Across the country, as the ground is frozen and winter is still holding steady, Las Vegas is experiencing gorgeous weather with sunny skies day in and day out. As the pools open, sandals and bikinis begin to become the uniform of spring. Right now, prior to the extreme summer months of June, July and August, is the perfect time to get in that golf trip to break up the monotony of the winter months.

One of Galavantier’s favorite holidays of the year is quickly approaching – a day that celebrates the great Irish heritage with green beer and corned beef hash. Saint Patrick’s Day in Las Vegas melds two worlds together including the always “on” Vegas nightlife with the highly celebratory holiday of the Irish.

Depending on where you choose to celebrate this most festive of events will determine your level of commitment to the holiday.  From live bands and parades to Jameson shots and Irish breakfasts, there is going to be something for everyone.

Sin City recently welcomed its newest addition to the world of gentlemen’s establishments: meet The Gold Club. Located off of the Strip across from the locals’ hangout Town Square, The Gold Club is an intimate place just under 5,000 square feet. Although on the smaller side, it is classy, with an upscale ambiance, and aims at keeping the fundamentals simple.

The simplicity of the burger is what makes it so beloved. It really is only a piece of ground meat between two pieces of bread, right? Well, not so fast.  Beef is not just beef and who really orders a plain burger? There is no better cheap meal in Las Vegas than the burger and a beer. The options are plentiful from the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay to BLT Burger at the Mirage. The Las Vegas Strip has no shortage of burger joints willing to impress you with a little comfort between two buns.

Las Vegas is known for decadence, amusement, and glam, but this oasis in the desert is also a hot spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Less than 20 miles away from the infamous Strip is Red Rock Canyon. A haven for hikers, photographers, bicycle riders, horseback riders and, lately, an increasing number of rock climbers.

The Electric Daisy Carnival  (EDC), deemed a modern-day Woodstock festival by some, has officially sold out for the 2014 event on June 20-22. Tickets went on sale last year, but officially sold out on Friday for the annual event -- now in it's 18th year.

The festival gathers the best of electronic dance music’s DJs at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway with patrons from around the world converging in colorful costumes, glow-in-the-dark makeup, and tutus. The festival is expected to see 400,000 people this year, which is an increase of 14 percent over last year.
