You haven’t been to TAO? Seriously, you’re headed to Las Vegas for the weekend, you’re looking for a good nightclub, and you say you haven’t been to TAO? Well, then that makes it an easy decision. The Venetian’s legendary megaclub/lounge/restaurant wasn’t the very first modern nightclub in Las Vegas, but it was definitely the first serious one, the one where the VIP tables had real VIPs and the one that you heard about in the tabloids. If you haven’t been there, you really haven’t been nightclubbing in Vegas.

Date Night in Las Vegas: Bellagio Style

The wine bottle is half empty and I’m sitting in a large crowded Las Vegas restaurant when I get the idea of taking my wife on a date. So, naturally I figure I should write about it so that while I am coming up with the perfect date night in Las Vegas I’m also working.

It’s pretty simple to impress your date at Bellagio Las Vegas but if you need to step up your game follow my advice and you’ll soon be sleeping in on Saturday morning and having breakfast delivered to your bed as you watch highlights.

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.

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.

Is it Summer already? Well not quite, but pool season in Las Vegas is here, so it’s time to suit up and get out there. Some might say a pool is a pool, when you come down to it: Some blue water, rows of lounges and lot of sweaty bodies. And a pool party? Add alcohol and loud music. All the same, basically.

If you had to getaway from your getaway this is where you would go. Imagine saving yourself from yourself and then you can imagine what Red Rock does for you. I need the sun, the action and I need the food in Las Vegas but I don’t always need all the crowds or the traffic or the prices. I can almost have my cake and eat it too. That is the draw at Red Rock Casino because you can just about have your perfect Las Vegas vacation with out having the little things that bother you about Las Vegas around.
