A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

The Galavantier Blog

Greetings from the great outdoors!

You board the plane to Las Vegas and can’t wait to hit the casino and lay that first bet.  Now how would you like the casino to pay you to gamble?  Well Tropicana is doing just that.  Sign up for their new Trop Plus Players Card and the hotel will reimburse losses up to $200 on casino slots.  You’ll instantly receive $100 in free play back on your $200 or more in losses and the other $100 will be reimbursed to you a month later.  The only stipulation here is you must be a new signup to receive this offer.

The chance to ride in a helicopter is not something that happens every day and the opportunity to do this while visiting one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World is definitely one for the bucket list.

Hey everyone, Tour Manager here with a rundown of your Las Vegas entertainment to look forward to this weekend.

• Who doesn’t like free entertainment?  Head over to Book & Stage at the Cosmopolitan where Washington D.C. based The Funk Ark take the stage for two sets.

It’s the middle of summer and you’re looking to skip work early on a Friday and travel to Las Vegas. If you are wondering where to stay, look no further than The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Las Vegas’ latest all encompassing resort and casino reminds me of a W Hotel but on a must larger scale. Forget the fact that it’s Las Vegas and has a casino, and look at the rest of the property.

The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas’ newest and hottest hotel and casino has a player’s card you are going to want to sign up for immediately.  Being an Identity member does have its privileges and the best part is you don’t even have to be a gambler to reap the rewards.  Sign up online or on your next visit to the resort and start earning points for dining, shopping, clubbing and even your stay at the property.  That’s right, no longer do you have to hope to hit the big one

There are tons of Las Vegas pool parties to choose from and on Sunday, Wet Republic at MGM Grand is transformed into F*** Me I’m Famous by Cathy & David Guetta. The wild and crazy day club is your Vegas entertainment hotspot to soak up the sun and party while internationally acclaimed DJs provide the soundtrack for the day.

Hey everyone, Tour Manager back with my picks for this weekend in Las Vegas entertainment.

• The weekend gets started with Corey Taylor, frontman for bands Stone Sour and Slipknot performs an acoustic set inside Body English at Hard Rock Hotel.  Tickets are $25 plus tax and fees.

Galavantier Guru here! I’m back with some travel tips on how to beat the heat this summer in Las Vegas.

Often times, too many visitors to Las Vegas are not used to triple digit temperatures and the dry heat of the desert. Luckily there are a handful of ways to protect yourself and still have a great time in Sin City.

I love steak and have made it my motion to visit every fine steakhouse in Vegas - on and off the strip. Not just every steak dinner but every meal I have, is measured up to Delmonico Steakhouse. The first time I stepped into Delmonico Steakhouse was for a bachelor party of 12. Now, it's nearly impossible to wow 12 people at once but Delmonico did just that. Not every return trip has been that amazing, but all have been above average.
