Sometimes it seems like there are two kinds of people in this world: Those who love beer. And people we don’t really understand. Not too long ago, it was the second kind of people who were probably happier in Las Vegas. Beer lovers could enjoy cheap suds though nothing much more exotic than a Guinness here and there.

Happy hour is that time of the day when you seek out the good deals to help you get through the long afternoon and into the evening. Well, in Las Vegas it’s always happy hour, right? Well, not really but you can always be happy and these places make the time between lunch and dinner a bit more fun.

Walk through any casino and you'll hear the familiar servers cry "cocktails, cocktails?" But don't be fooled. Even before the mixology revival hit Las Vegas, not to mention the craft beer frenzy, Las Vegas amassed some of the most impressive wine cellars in the country. There are a number of reasons--proximity to California, high rollers with fancy tastes, etc--but whatever the reason, this may be one of the best places anywhere to enjoy a wide variety of fine wine. Let's get started!

Independence day in Las Vegas is perfect for the giant celebration that comes from taking a few days off and spending some time with friends and family. So, where will you watch the fireworks in Las Vegas? I have a few ideas for you to see the entire show light.

Indulgence. It’s what we do best in Las Vegas. But what if your idea of indulgence isn’t fine dining, rare wines, fabulous entertainment, fine art, luxury shopping or sumptuous spas? What if your idea of indulgence is nothing more (or less) than good chocolate?

The Experience

You might ask yourself why you would stay at a giant castle when heading to Las Vegas. You could say you want to be someone’s “Knight in Shining Amour” or perhaps your ideal vacation has hints of the dark ages or some snapshot of medieval times. It also could be that you know a good deal when you see one. Excalibur Hotel is located among one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas. You are surrounded by the MGM Grand, NY/NY Casino and the LUXOR. Within minutes walking distance is CityCenter, Monte Carlo and Mandalay Bay.

In a laughing mood? That’s probably because you haven’t gambled away all your money yet.

But seriously, folks: Las Vegas is a town that loves to laugh, and if you’re looking for a fun comedy show, you’ve definitely come to the right place. Some of the most famous comedians in the world make people laugh here every night, others visit regularly, a few only drop in from time to time (sometimes without advance notice). Still, every serious comic will tell you that Las Vegas audiences might be the most challenging, yet are always the most rewarding.

I dare you to have a meal at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas and sit out on the patio and not extend it an extra hour. It just is not possible to sit there with a view of the Las Vegas strip and a glass of wine in your hand and not want the meal to last a little longer.
