A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

The temperature has started to rise in Las Vegas but spring is still blooming at Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. The climate controlled gardens are home to a bright display of spring in a stark contrast to what you might find in the desert environment that is southern Nevada. 8000+ flowers and plants have been arranged to celebrate the arrival of the warmer months and until May 11, 2014 you can take a stroll through this free attraction at Bellagio Resort.

It’s that time of year again when the hippest of the rockabilly world converge on Vegas to show off the finest in vintage rides, the sleekest pompadours, the best tats and curve hugging Betty Paige-style attire.

“It is the greatest event of its type with a lot going on including live bands, a car show, burlesque, pin up models and more,” said Tom Ingram, the mastermind behind Viva Las Vegas.

She’s sexy, talented, sweet and charitable.  She’s working her way to the top both literally and figuratively.  DJ Dezie, originally from Washington State and the Portland area, made her way to Vegas in 2002 in a rather unique way. She has been voted a top 100 female DJs as well as one of the hottest DJs in town.

The Strip’s longest-running show in Las Vegas is back, after a brief hiatus, and better than ever. Producers of Jubilee! At Bally’s Las Vegas recently shut the doors on the 32-year-old show to modernize the music, staging, sets and choreography. They hired Frank Gaston Jr., who has worked with Beyoncé and other superstars like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Usher to give the show a facelift.

“When it comes to combining flavors of the past with a fresh, modern twist, no one does it better than Frank,” stated Beyoncé in a press release.

Pregame Party It’s wild, out of control, and absolutely the best way to experience the Vegas nightlife club scene while having the time of your life. It all started as I donned my very best Vegas dress and met up with Galavantier’s Promotions Manager, Matt, at PBR Rock Bar in the Planet Hollywood. With a mass amount of people standing in groups in front of the venue, we were a little unsure as to where to meet the group. Luckily, a vibrant young man named Joey, one of the hosts for the evening, approached us.

This summer is the best time to visit Vegas and find out what all the hype is about with the daylife. If you’re worried about getting in swimwear and dancing your ass off, just know that it’s Vegas and no one cares. Just as long as you’re having fun, that’s the only thing that matters. The hot list this summer includes the following dayclubs, not in any particular order – just the best of the best for 2014.

Visit Stoney’s Rockin Country bar any night of the week and you’re in for a shit kickin’ good time. You'll find anything from line dancing to whiskey shots with an ice cold PBR or beer pong and bull riding. No matter what it is though, you’ll have a good time.

Stoney’s relocation has helped it quickly rise to be one of the hottest places to party at in Vegas and it’s not just for locals, although the local scene draws a large crowd. If you’re headed out for the night, why not head south of the Strip for some southern fun?

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is launching its 11th season of Rehab, the summer time sweet spot, this weekend with performances by Robin Thicke on Saturday, April 12 and Flo Rida on Sunday, April 13. The party starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m.

Rehab is the place to spend a Las Vegas summertime day, with tan bodies in swimwear, chilled water and flowing cocktails in signature cups. The venue was most known for its Sunday party, but this year has made the move to launch Saturdays as well giving Vegas visitors an extra party day at the pool.

Whether you’ve been at the pool all day sipping cocktails, at the club all night downing drinks, or both, it’s Vegas and you’re probably going to want munchies in the wee hours of the morning. While most casinos and hotels have 24-hour cafes open, sometimes you want good grub to complete your fourth meal. We’ve found the best cuisines you crave when you need to slow down the effects of the alcohol after hours.

It’s the talk of the town in Vegas, which can only mean one thing: it’s that good. The massive 80,000-square-foot bowling alley meets concert venue with a splash of booze and some culinary genius is the combined basis of the Brooklyn Bowl in Sin City.

When you enter the doors, escalators and stairs initially greet you – opt for the escalators so you can enjoy the gorgeous entryway lined by concert-related artwork. A glittery disco ball hangs from the ceiling as you’re carried to the top where you will be amazed at the architectural maze of bars and rooms before you.
