A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

The Galavantier Blog

Do you ever get to the spot in your day where you know you should eat but you just can’t figure out exactly what you should be eating? It happens to me every day. It should not happen to you when you are on vacation; therefore, I eat in order to make sure you have a very good idea of where you’ll be spending every meal in Las Vegas.

I have taken one for the team and filled myself silly with pizza after pizza in order to find a few spots for you to have a quick, inexpensive meal on the Las Vegas strip.

So, you and the boys pile into a car and head to Las Vegas. Frozen burritos at a gas station and 6 guys in one hotel room? Wait…we are beyond that, right? Those were fun days, they really were, but I’ve been done with the crunchy carpet motels for about 10 years and food from a gas station that is to be heated by a dirty microwave oven is no longer an option.

Tap. Tap. Snap. Snap. Boom. Boom. Crash. Crash.

Can you repeat that?

Do you want to repeat that?

You will.

You'll raise your hands for no apparent reason and you'll practice those beat box sounds that you had long abandoned. You might squirm in your seat with a need to feel the rhythm. You'll wiggle your toes as you whistle and you'll consider experimenting with paint, PVC pipe and drum sticks.

What you don’t realize about the Golden Nugget is that it has changed so much over the years. It’s still the gem of Downtown Las Vegas but take a look around and you’ll ask yourself why you have not found the time to explore it more often. You probably have heard of the pool and the sharks but you might also want to know about the dining options and the modern rooms.

This weekend as you’re considering the nightlife of Las Vegas I’ll confuse you with a few options for things to do. Las Vegas is perfect for late nights at the clubs but I’m thinking you might need to diversify your Las Vegas experience.

What You Are Doing This Weekend In Las Vegas.

Quite often I’ll have a conversation at a Las Vegas Nightclub with a member of the opposite sex and the discussion almost always turns to what I do for a living.

“Why are you at this nightclub?”

My back swing is perfect. My follow through reminds other players of Tiger Woods. I have shiny golf clubs and plenty of balls in my bag. My only problem is that when I hit the ball I have no idea where it is headed. I can hit the ball a long way, there is no question about that, it's just that 300 yards to the right means very little when you need to hit the ball to the center.

New year. Day one. Get started.

If your head is a bit foggy this morning that's probably because you had a good night. It's a new year so don't waste any time and start having some fun.

You need a plan to get you through day one of new resolutions and some lame statements you might have made last night that centered around working harder, being more serious and taking control of your life. Don't fret, we all do that when faced with counting down the end of a year while looking at a pair of lips that are begging for the New Year's kiss.

You have waited for this all year. You are in Las Vegas and you just want the party to start. You want this weekend to be the best weekend ever. You have scoured through all the research and all you want to do is start.

So start!

You should have a few Las Vegas nightclubs on your list in order to make sure the entire weekend goes perfect. A few of my choices to make sure the party goes deep into the evening and into the next morning:

Before you say goodbye to the holiday season get a last glimpse of the holidays in Las Vegas at the Ethel M Chocolates Cactus Garden Holiday Display. You might be ready for that trip to the keys with visions of deep sea fishing and a gentle tug on your line while you drift in the stream but the Christmas season is not over yet.
