A Las Vegas Lifestyle Guide

Let’s face it, Memorial Day Weekend just isn’t the same without lighting up the grill and throwing on some meat and veggies while also sipping on an ice-cold beer. While it’s not that easy to just whip out a grill on your Vegas vacation, we do recommend that you get in your rental car or grab a cab and head to one of these three phenomenal barbecue joints to enjoy Memorial Day Weekend like it was intended.

Vegas is the adult playground that doesn't stop when it comes to entertainment, even several of the shows are adult-friendly and we've found some of the best for this summer. 

It’s quaint, gorgeous and filled with elegance and history. The Cromwell – a new boutique hotel on the corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard – is the new kid on the block, housed in the old Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall. It’s not the equivalent of the massive Strip casinos like nearby Caesar’s or Bellagio, but The Cromwell isn’t meant to compete with the mega hotels in Vegas.

The hotel offers only 188 rooms, including 19 suites, and is only 12 stories, which seems minuscule next to Bally’s and the Flamingo, the hotel’s direct neighbors.

As temperatures rise across Nevada, things begin to really heat up in Las Vegas as one of the biggest holiday weekends commences. That's right, it's Memorial Day Weekend in Sin City and there are a number of things to do, whether it’s playing at a sexy pool party or dancing the night away at a club or getting drinks and enjoying live music downtown. Whatever your style, we've outlined the best of the best to suit your needs.

It is almost that time of the year when you head to Las Vegas for a few days of fun in the sun and long nights doing those things that we don’t talk about once we cross the state line. This is the quick checklist to help you come up with the best plan of action for your Las Vegas summer vacation.

Beginning in June, The Sports Center of Las Vegas will play host to a new club event catering to 18 to 20 year olds headed to town. The event, known as Club Fresh is a great place to take that younger brother or sister bugging you to go out while you’re in town.

The debut of the event, slated for June 28, includes headliners The Voice Season 5 contestant Barry Black and Trice B. Organized by promoter Clayton Marshall, the event was originally planned for the Palazzo’s Dal Toro Ristorante, but the on-the-Strip venue fell through.

Whether you’re a gym junkie, and we mean that in the most flattering way possible, or you’re realizing that buttery pancakes and a mimosa everyday of your Las Vegas stay is starting to show at the pool, we’ve got a gym to fit your needs. No matter what you’re looking for (fitness classes, yoga, free weights or cardio), Vegas offers something for everyone.

The refreshing feeling of lying next to a crystal clear blue pool as the palm trees sway in the breeze and you lounge, cocktail in hand, under the desert sun. Nothing is quite like vacationing in Las Vegas where customer service is king and the drinks are always full as well as distinctive. If you’re headed to Sin City this summer, check out the list of must-have beverages while you’re out and about on the Strip.

So you’ve just arrived in Vegas and you’ve got hours to kill until hotel check-in and even more time before the vibrant nightlife begins. What do you do?

While you could start pumping dollars into the slot machine, you do want to pace yourself. Plus you’re in Vega, so why not do something wild and out of the norm? How about you shoot some stuff?

We’re talking about the Outdoor Shooting Experience from the Pro Gun Club. It’s country club meets Dirty Harry – as in the staff at Pro Gun Club definitely knows their artillery.
