Saying that The Mirage has a special place in my heart only skims the surface of the ties between me and this property. It was truly my first Vegas family after moving to the city and I worked there for four & a half years, so I know a thing or two about what's awesome here. Let's peruse this Polynesian goddess of the Strip together and optimize your time in Vegas.

If you're looking to sip your cocktails in a Vegas lounge that makes people glance over at you like, "Woah, who is that? I know they're famous, I just can't put my finger on it..." then there is no shortage of options. A glamorous, retro Hollywood-style bar is an easy find, but we have lined up the best in the city.

If you’re headed to Vegas over the next few weeks, you might want to take note of a few changes about town. Staying at Excalibur Hotel & Casino? Well, you’ll have to go elsewhere for your buffet options as remodeling has begin at the Excalibur Buffet and it won’t be ready until January 2015.

Those looking to stay at Westgate might want to wait until early 2015 as the hotel rooms are receiving a serious renovation that applies to more than 1,000 rooms. Until then, construction might be a bit much if you’re staying on the property.

It’s officially opened and while the lineup may be sparse as of now, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC) is expected to house a number of events with the ability to host up to 15,000 patrons.

The DLVEC hosted The Great Vegas Gridiron Grill-Off BBQ & Tailgate Festival last weekend (Sept. 6-7) with the next event scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20 featuring a live performance by Capital Cities. The concert begins at 9 p.m. with special guests by Joywave. Tickets range from $25 to $35 and will take place outside rain or shine with standing room only.
