The Experience
This is the 24 hour hotel café that has been taken to another level. You’ll soon find out that regardless of what time you are having a meal you can probably expect more than your typical coffee shop menu. This is comfort food that is getting you to an even more comfortable level. Leave your dietary restrictions at home because you’ll walk in to Citizens for a convenient meal and walk out stuffed. The portions are ample and you’ll be surprised but what they are doing.

Las Vegas is many things to many people: excitement, adventure, entertainment, indulgence. But one aspect which somehow receives less attention is the amazing array of retail shopping here. Nearly every major brand, from high-end to bargain is represented on the Las Vegas Strip, and often more than once. For example, the Forum Shops at Caesars actually has two Louis Vuitton stores. For that matter, within a couple miles on the Strip can be found dueling huge Ross discount shops. But don’t let me get ahead of myself.

Las Vegas has always been a good place to drink. But now it’s an excellent place to drink. Not jut because you’re always within arm’s reach of someone happy to serve you (age and moderation in mind) but because there’s so much variety and creativity everywhere you turn.

You could get excited about the MGM Grand Resort for so many reasons that it soon becomes apparent to you that it is hard to top this resort for the complete Las Vegas Vacation. At a quick glance you can point to the food choices, the entertainment and the nightlife. Of course if you consider its location and its sprawling pool area you might not be able to ever stay anywhere else.

It’s a scientific fact: The last time of day or night that anyone had a hard time getting a drink on the Las Vegas Strip was way back in 1961. That man was the legendary Joe E. Brown, and the only reason he couldn’t get a drink was he couldn’t stand up.

Joking aside, Vegas has always been a fine place to whet your whistle, but times may be better now than ever. Because now, the quality and variety of things to drink have made a distinct upward climb.

Wow, is it Spring Break already? Feels like it was just New Year’s Eve! But hey, the calendar doesn’t lie, and like they say, time flies when you’re having fun.

Vegas is always having fun, but Spring Break is the time of year when things really start to come alive. The weather is turning hot, the pretty people seem hotter, and it’s time to party. Now, you can find a good party just about anywhere on the Las Vegas Strip, but let’s save you some head-scratching time and point you straight to some of the best spots.

Do you know the feeling you get when the stress melts away? Have you taken that deep breath in a sauna and felt the pain of your daily responsibilities disappear? I get that at Green Valley Ranch. The spa has that soothing effect on me but the hotel does as well. Comfortable with a touch of subdued luxury and all the little things that make a getaway special is the best way to describe Green Valley ranch.

You’re in Vegas for the weekend, and you’re ready for some action. A party night is definitely in the plans. But this time you really don’t want to deal with the massive nightclub and the long lines and the who-ya-gotta-know.... Just a cool place to hear a DJ, loosen up and have fun: that’s the plan.

Want to see a show you’ll really remember? A show that could truly be presented “Only in Vegas?” Then consider Peepshow at Planet Hollywood. Maybe you’ve heard about it—the show that ex-Playmate and former Girls Next Door star Holly Madison made famous? Now Holly has been replaced in the starring role by another astounding reality star, Coco Austin (Ice Loves Coco).

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.
