What part of the description do you want to hear? Do you want me to tell you that your cool factor will go up once you check in or do you want to hear about how you’ll get a sense of relaxation in the room that will almost make you forget you are in Las Vegas or do you need to hear about how your foodie fantasies will come true at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas? This hotel has so much happening all at once that you almost want to start planning your next visit the minute you arrive.
Summer vacation and the kids in Las Vegas. Some people say yes, there are plenty of things to do in Las Vegas for kids and then another segment of the population that would have you believe that all that is bad roams the Las Vegas strip and kids should avoid it. I have two young kids and they have spent plenty of time on the strip and I’m here to tell you that Las Vegas is a great option for a family vacation.
Las Vegas is inexpensive. Food options are plentiful and there are so many things to do with your kids in Las Vegas that they’ll be asking you to stay a little longer.
The concept of a boutique hotel in Las Vegas is odd since most people will find themselves in the midst of giant resorts with endless options and corridors jammed with people looking for the newest, best and brightest thing to hot Las Vegas. That is until you consider Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace. It’s a hybrid boutique hotel. You can find them in Las Vegas as well. TheHotel at Mandalay Bay is another example of a hotel with a hotel. At Nobu you get some serious class and an understated luxury along with all the extras provided by Caesars Palace.
It's not everyday that we get to fly a plane. In fact I have only done it once. However, you should understand that in my one day of flying I learned how to flip it, tumble it, stall it and roll it. In fact I spend an afternoon doing all of this while a trained fighter pilot instructed me to push my own limits. That is the reason to go to Las Vegas. Somehow, in Las Vegas almost anything is possible.
It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that virtually every large casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip has some good shopping. However, one casino mall is truly the granddaddy of them all, and very arguably still the reigning retail monarch. I’m talking of course about the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Now in it’s 20th year of operation, the expanded Forum Shops offers a sprawling array of retail on every level, restaurants, services and more.
You wake up in Las Vegas and the sting is still alive and well in your head after a long fun night experiencing all that Las Vegas had in store for you. Well, don't stop there have a little more fun.
These are the 5 things you should be thinking about doing today in Las Vegas.
Is it possible that my job could get any better? Listen, for the last ten years I have been eating, drinking, sleeping, swimming, dancing and experiencing everything in Las Vegas. I literally get to do it all in order to help you make a better decision about what to see and do in Las Vegas. I know, unreal, right?
This week I was sitting at Social Bar at the Palms, their new casino bar that is the center of attention. I’m sipping on an extraordinary drink, 46 & Barrel. I’m typing away on my Blackberry. I’m tasting. I’m watching. I’m chatting. In other words, I was working. I fell in love with a cocktail and then I started telling everyone around me about it. I’ll spare you the details aside from letting you know that an oak barrel is used to help some Maker’s Mark 46 attain a little more flavor by infusing some cherry and fig into the mix. You should be having it.
When CityCenter opened its doors on the Las Vegas strip the Las Vegas visitor was welcomed to a new Las Vegas. Everything was bright and shiny and the expanse of land that once housed the Boardwalk casino was now a focal point for a luxurious and upscale vacation. Walk off the Las Vegas strip and as you walk by the Crystals Shopping Center and gaze high up at the Mandarin Oriental you’ll notice the dominant tower that is ARIA Resort. Look around you’ll probably notice a tram moving over your head and sculptures tucked away in spots on the property. This is not your typical Las Vegas.
