So you say you’re a foodie, and you came to Vegas for the legendary dining? And so far all you see are share plates, sliders, Brussels sprouts and beet salads? Yeah, you’re not the first to notice—if something’s popular, then there’s bound to be lots of it on the Las Vegas Strip.

You’re in Las Vegas, Entertainment Capital of the World, and you want to see something, you know…entertaining! But if country and pop stars like Shania, Faith and Tim, Rod and Celine aren’t your thing, or you’re not in the mood for Cirque du Soleil, it may seem like options are limited.

Not so. There are an incredible variety of regular performers in Las Vegas shows on the Strip for almost any taste.

Do you remember the first time you took a flight alone? Do you remember feeling all grown up? Trump Las Vegas makes you feel grown up. As if you have arrived. The moment you drive up you get a feel for the customer service. I love to feel important and while I really enjoy the spacious rooms I am more impressed by the customer service. Trump Las Vegas is the spot where you are close enough to all of the Vegas action to have fun but removed from it enough to also relax. There is no casino and that is what makes it special.

It’s Friday night. It’s Vegas. The night belongs to you and it’s go time. Hyde Bellagio is the destination, maybe one of the best kept secrets in the world of Las Vegas Nightclubs, if such a thing is possible. The great thing about Hyde, run by the SLS team from LA, is that it’s not another one of these gargantuan thunderdomes with a hundred rooms, three floors, and still nowhere to stand.

There is no reason for you to want to head to Sky Combat Ace to fly a plane and learn to do a few aerial maneuvers. None, whatsoever. Why would you want to fly a plane, get into a dogfight or stall high above the desert and then plunge to the earth at an alarming speed?

You'll need a strong stomach. I'd didn't lose my lunch but a few times I thought my need to over eat was threatening the contents of my digestive system.

There is so much happening at Bellagio Las Vegas that you might be shocked at how little time you have spent here in the past. You have to carve out some time because some of the obvious reasons to walk in to Bellagio Las Vegas like the World’s largest Chocolate Fountains or “O” by Cirque du Soleil are dwarfed by the endless selection of quality attractions.

A Skybox at the Superdome? That would be the best place anywhere to watch this year’s Super Bowl on Feb. 3. But if you can’t make it there, or another seat inside the Superdome, the second best place in the world has got to be one of the many amazing sportsbooks and sports bars on the Las Vegas Strip.

This Weekend at Caesars Palace. You made the decision to head to Vegas for the weekend. Real quick, let’s not make this another one of those Vegas trips where you spend half the time figuring out what to do. Let’s get this right before you get to the Las Vegas strip. PURE is the destination tonight, the queen of Vegas nightclubs that still glitters up the nights at Caesars Palace. Many others have made their splashes since PURE changed the game on the Strip, but it remains a sexy sure-thing, and these days almost feels intimate.

Soaring swooping, swaying. Sensational!

Adult shows were once the norm in Las Vegas but times have changed and these days most shows seem so tame that you could possibly see them with your children or feel ok sitting next to your grandmother when the curtain comes up.

However, there are a couple that require discretion and are perfect for the couple wanting to explore their risky side or for the group of open minded individuals looking for some adult entertainment or a chance to laugh at some of those subjects that often are considered off limits.
