A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

The Galavantier Blog

Right at that moment when you think Las Vegas cannot get any better you realize that if you stretched a weekend into a 4 day getaway you could do so much more. What it comes down to is the question: Do you love your body more than you love your boss? Don’t you deserve some time to relax? You would be far more productive if you eliminated all the stress of your daily life and just did the right thing. Go to Vegas for 4 nights in stead of two.

What if you hit four night clubs in four days? What if you hit four amazing restaurants in four days? What if you saw four shows?

The Experience

If you sit next to the giant wood sculpture on the back wall keep in mind that some really talented guy with a chainsaw sat in front of a giant chunk of wood and made this. Pay tribute by taking way too many pictures and sharing them with all of your friends. Yes, it looks a little freaky but it must be appreciated.

When was the last time you heard the tires screeching in the car you are driving? Before you answer that question I don’t want you to mention the tires on the mini van in the mall parking lot. When was the last time you pushed a car to the limits of its design specifics?

Have you ever done that? Why not?

Why have you deprived yourself? You are going to need to visit Exotics Racing at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

A Few Exotics Racing Facts:

You haven’t been to TAO? Seriously, you’re headed to Las Vegas for the weekend, you’re looking for a good nightclub, and you say you haven’t been to TAO? Well, then that makes it an easy decision. The Venetian’s legendary megaclub/lounge/restaurant wasn’t the very first modern nightclub in Las Vegas, but it was definitely the first serious one, the one where the VIP tables had real VIPs and the one that you heard about in the tabloids. If you haven’t been there, you really haven’t been nightclubbing in Vegas.

It’s a scientific fact: The last time of day or night that anyone had a hard time getting a drink on the Las Vegas Strip was way back in 1961. That man was the legendary Joe E. Brown, and the only reason he couldn’t get a drink was he couldn’t stand up.

Joking aside, Vegas has always been a fine place to whet your whistle, but times may be better now than ever. Because now, the quality and variety of things to drink have made a distinct upward climb.

Date Night in Las Vegas: Bellagio Style

The wine bottle is half empty and I’m sitting in a large crowded Las Vegas restaurant when I get the idea of taking my wife on a date. So, naturally I figure I should write about it so that while I am coming up with the perfect date night in Las Vegas I’m also working.

It’s pretty simple to impress your date at Bellagio Las Vegas but if you need to step up your game follow my advice and you’ll soon be sleeping in on Saturday morning and having breakfast delivered to your bed as you watch highlights.

Wow, is it Spring Break already? Feels like it was just New Year’s Eve! But hey, the calendar doesn’t lie, and like they say, time flies when you’re having fun.

Vegas is always having fun, but Spring Break is the time of year when things really start to come alive. The weather is turning hot, the pretty people seem hotter, and it’s time to party. Now, you can find a good party just about anywhere on the Las Vegas Strip, but let’s save you some head-scratching time and point you straight to some of the best spots.

Do you know the feeling you get when the stress melts away? Have you taken that deep breath in a sauna and felt the pain of your daily responsibilities disappear? I get that at Green Valley Ranch. The spa has that soothing effect on me but the hotel does as well. Comfortable with a touch of subdued luxury and all the little things that make a getaway special is the best way to describe Green Valley ranch.

You’re in Vegas for the weekend, and you’re ready for some action. A party night is definitely in the plans. But this time you really don’t want to deal with the massive nightclub and the long lines and the who-ya-gotta-know.... Just a cool place to hear a DJ, loosen up and have fun: that’s the plan.

Want to see a show you’ll really remember? A show that could truly be presented “Only in Vegas?” Then consider Peepshow at Planet Hollywood. Maybe you’ve heard about it—the show that ex-Playmate and former Girls Next Door star Holly Madison made famous? Now Holly has been replaced in the starring role by another astounding reality star, Coco Austin (Ice Loves Coco).
