A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

The Galavantier Blog

So you woke up and did not find exactly what you wanted under the tree? You know this season is more about what you give than what you receive. So, why not give yourself something very good.

What you need is a Las Vegas vacation so take a look at a few things to do in Las Vegas and treat yourself! Maybe Santa did not deliver exactly what you were looking for but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a look at a few VIP packages at a Las Vegas nightclub.

These two sister properties give you one giant Las Vegas experience regardless of which one you stay at. I like the prestige level at Palazzo but I’m fonder of the casino at the Venetian. The food choices are superb at both and the shopping is among the best on the Las Vegas strip. The properties are connected via the Grand Canal Shoppes and the pools are accesses from either hotel.

Rumor has it that a few people are saying the world will end today I have news for you, Las Vegas would never end it all on a Friday. Tuesday, maybe. Monday is a strong possibility but with the amount of Las Vegas nightclubs that demand crazed party-goers on the weekend you can bet that Las Vegas will be here strong through both Saturday and Sunday.

I’m the cool dad. I just thought I would get that out of the way right from the start. Right after my kids soared high above a giant fan that gave them the exhilarating feeling of free falling at Vegas Indoor Skydiving, it was clear that I could get away with way more than most parents will ever dream of. I’ll be able to wear the dolphin shorts at the beach and my kids will still acknowledge me.

How do you feel about sock puppets?

How comfortable are you with really good looking guys with tremendous physiques balancing themselves within close proximity of each other and you?

Do you offend easily?

Would you kiss a stranger?

Ever have to wash out your mouth with soap?

Good.

If you are a Las Vegas veteran you can remember back to the days when new resorts were simply fancy buildings with giant casinos. In those days the drinks were free at the tables, the buffet had a long line and you usually made your way back to the airport with the lingering cigarette smoke on your clothing and an empty wallet.

It's always fun to look back on the past as you sit firmly planted in the present. Look no further than the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for a definitive description of what Las Vegas has become.

Right at the moment I lost my footing on some slippery sand stone and felt my medial collateral ligament stretch beyond its limitations it dawned on me that I would have to drive a Jeep up and over this obstruction of boulders. Not only would I have to navigate steep, slick rocks, I would also have to attempt to drive on 3 wheels, learn to control the momentum of a 2 ton vehicle and try not to damage the vehicle while doing this.

What an adrenaline rush!

Right before you feel the tug of 2013 pull you and lead you to broken resolutions and New Year's day regrets you must contend with New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

Take a deep breath, feel the stress leave your shoulders and realize that we have got you covered. You'll be prepared to handle the Las Vegas strip and the potential for the best New Year’s Eve party you have ever experienced. You have four days to shake off the regrets of 2012 and embrace the hope of 2013. That's right, Vegas requires an entire weekend to say goodbye to the past year and enable you to greet 2013.

Lock, stocked and ready to rock, that’s what you’ll experience when you step inside Bellagio Las Vegas and head over to The Bank Nightclub.  At only 6,600 square feet, The Bank is an intimate room that packs a heavy punch.  The luxe hotspot uses an escalator to pull you in and an intimate foyer to keep the tone light before you reach the main hub of the club where you will immediately be thrust into opulence.
