Inside Las Vegas

Las Vegas often marks its seasons by the presence–or absence–of heat. As an all-season destination, Sin City has few traditions to mark the arrival of autumn, but one is cherished by locals and visitors alike. The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden offers five extravagant exhibits each year to celebrate the arrival of a new season, including the Chinese New Year. Its Fall 2020 exhibit, “Into the Woods,” opened September 15 and offers a journey through a place that most would never associate with the Strip—a magical forest.

This seasonal tradition dates back to 1998 with the opening of the Bellagio Hotel. This year, attendees can explore a virtual forest featuring colorful mushrooms, a grizzled old tree sculpted into a friendly grimace, buzzing fireflies and more—all painstakingly sculpted from an array of flowers, plants, and trees. Visitors looking for the inside conservatory are often surprised to find this world within a world just a short distance from the front lobby.

This year, a family of foxes aboard a magical sailboat greets the visitor. Travel further, and a large hand-hewn tree comes into view. Called the “Talking Tree,” on closer inspection, travelers will find that it also is home to an elaborate, flower-festooned tree house. Spanning 14,000 square feet, “Into the Woods” also features four winged faeries (and their faerie home), bears playing in a harvest of pumpkins (and, naturally, a honey pot) and much more.

While justly famous for its legendary fountains, these “Woods” are sure to delight both children and adults. This Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden exhibit is one of the most popular offered by any strip property and remains free to the public, 24 hours a day. Get there early, as there are bound to be numerous visitors.

In a sign of normalcy returning to the Strip, the Wynn is reopening its famous 8,600 square foot Poker Room on September 30 at noon. When it closed in March as a result of COVID precautions, it was announced as temporary. In the interim, numerous protective measures have been put into place.

The Poker Room, located at Wynn’s Encore facility, will feature 24 poker tables for cash gaming. Several tables have been removed to ensure a more spacious environment for gaming, and each table will seat up to 8 players. Safety dividers have been installed for worry-free play, and cards and chips will be sanitized on a continual basis.

All of the amenities that have made the Poker Room a popular spot for players are back. Visitors will appreciate its sports wagering window, as well as numerous 65” high-definition televisions throughout streaming live sporting events. Each table also contains personal USB ports for players to charge their electronic devices. As before, a special poker menu features high-end cuisine from selected local restaurants.

The Wynn Poker Room is renowned for its open, uncluttered, and exclusive ambience, and it returns as the destination of choice for poker devotees from around the country. Wynn anticipates the resumption of tournament play soon, but for now guests can look forward to 24 hours, 7 days a week gameplay.

Las Vegas is a 24-7-365 town, but some months are busier than others. When March arrives, the days get warmer and longer. Basketball fans arrive in droves to cheer on March Madness. And Pool Party season officially gets underway. From March to October, thousands of visitors flock to the Strip to cool off–and let’s face it, to show off–by the pool. Pool Parties are a veritable nightclub in broad daylight, with private cabanas, bikini-clad hostesses serving up signature crafted drinks, and world-renown DJs helping to orchestrate the mood. It all starts the first week of March. Here are some noteworthy dayclubs to check out with your crew.

At the Mandalay Bay, the Daylight Beach Club remains one of the city’s largest pool parties. The main pool is nearly 5000 square-feet in volume, including plenty of room for revelers to cool off from the day’s heat. The Daylight has its own dedicated parking lot, so partygoers need not trudge through the hotel. It also boasts 23 VIP Cabanas, two ultra-VIP bungalows and a stage which in previous years has hosted luminaries like Ludacris, Morgan Page, Jeezy, Steve Powers, and more. This dayclub is jumping every day, with Rosé All Day Thursdays catering to the bachelorette crowd. The Daylight opens March 5.

The famous Wet Republic commences its 2020 season the next day, March 5. Located at the MGM Grand, Wet Republic caters to revelers looking for great dance music. March alone brings DJ Shift, Fergie DJ, Jeff Retro, Cash Cash, and the legendary Steve Aoki all killing it in the booth. Wet Republic continually upgrades its accommodations, which include cabanas, bungalows, and daybeds arranged around its “Ultra Pool.” Their cabanas include giant TVs. The bungalows are next-level luxury, featuring plush furniture, private plunge pools and restroom and shower facilities. Wet Republic’s party vibe is real, so it gets packed early–especially Thursday to Sunday.

Drai’s Beach Club opens March 15. Drai’s is renowned for its incredible views, situated 11 stories above the Strip on the rooftop of the Cromwell. Featuring a 30,000 square-foot deck and two large pools, partygoers will enjoy the offerings of its 2 full-service bars and 75 bottle service tables. The soundtrack leans heavy on hip-hop with a large amount of cutting-edge EDM thrown in for good measure. In 2017, no less than Snoop Dogg thrilled a Tuesday night crowd when he played a full set at the stage poolside. This year, performers include Maria Romano, Luke Shay, Shift, and the return of DJ Pauly Shore. The pool opens every day, with Swim Night held on Thursdays.

Imitated but never equaled, Sin City pool parties have only gotten bigger over time. While all pool parties have a lot in common, there are also differences. Some cater to a younger crowd, some are known for their cutting-edge DJ sets, while others have a smaller, more intimate vibe. 2020 promises to be one of the wildest seasons yet, so get your tickets and your wingman (or woman) lined up early.

Birthdays are special, and there is no more exceptional a place to celebrate a birthday than Sin City. Las Vegas boasts so many entertainment choices that you might end up planning to spend a birthday month here, instead! Whether for a day, a week, or longer, Sin City has got you covered with options ranging from casual to fine dining. Since many folks are acquainted with famous spots like the Linq or Senior Frog’s, we are going to look at three lesser-known event spaces. Each of these venues can handle parties of 50 or more and are available for private events.

Billing itself “a modern speakeasy,” the 1923 Bourbon Bar is all about gangsters and flappers. A 1920s-themed full-service bar, situated (under the escalators) in the Mandalay Bay, this is a fun place to go for good drinks and chat. Its interior décor stands note-perfect with dark wood and dim lights, and the staff dress as if they just walked out of The Great Gatsby. In the VIP room, celebrants can also smoke a hand-rolled stogie and drink vintage Prohibition-era drinks. For events, the Bar offers a special entertainment package in which you can choose from DJs, celebrity impersonators, burlesque acts, and more. Don’t forget the Mob Museum–the real deal–is just 15 minutes away.

The Strip can claim a growing respect from foodies world-wide, from Irish pub to Asian fusion, but locals know that a slew of unsung Italian eateries are scattered throughout the valley. Carmine’s Las Vegas has become a local institution. Located in the Forum Shops at Caesars, this family-style Southern Italian restaurant remains prominent for its generous portions of dishes ranging from meatballs to squid. Carmines’ looms large at 20,000 square feet and features four private dining rooms for special events (like birthdays). If you are throwing an intimate family party, this might be a good choice. Moreover, you can walk off that pasta afterwards, strolling through the fabulous Forum shops.

For somewhat more upscale affairs, the Eiffel Tower Restaurant features fine dining and great views of the Strip. Located—appropriately enough—in the Paris hotel, this French restaurant features a modern art deco interior with a particularly stunning view of the Bellagio Fountains. The Eiffel Tower is more luxurious than our first two venues, with a red carpet and velvet chairs guaranteeing a memorable dining and social event. Their special events department will work with you to create a memorable birthday for you or a loved one.

Truly, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to Las Vegas. All three venues listed here are not only talked about for their cuisine, each features an ambiance guaranteed to mark a birthday as a distinctive occasion. And remember–after dinner, the night will still be young!

Have you ever wondered, “How do I get comped in Las Vegas”?  Well, if you have seen the movie Vegas Vacation then you know how easy it was for Mr. Nick Papageorgio.  The reality is that one hot roll on the craps table will not get you an instant upgrade to the Presidential Suite.  Like anything else in Las Vegas nowadays, a little planning goes a long way. The hotels on the Las Vegas strip are certainly willing to comp rooms, food and entertainment for those who meet their criteria and know how to present themselves.  There are a few keys to receiving these benefits that everyone who is interested in getting comps in Sin City should keep in mind.

It all starts with the planning of your Las Vegas vacation.  Having a VIP host or a casino host is an absolute must. These are the people that hold the key to the city and they can be extremely helpful in assisting you to receive the benefits you deserve.  Search for a Las Vegas VIP Services company online to find an independent casino VIP host for the widest variety of options, or, contact the hotel that you desire to stay at directly and ask for a casino host.  Once you introduce yourself to your host they will get the process started, explaining to you the criteria necessary for receiving various comps and sharing with you any current promotions, casino rates or special offers.

It is not only the “high rollers” that get comped in Las Vegas.  You may be surprised at the comps available to lower level players, both on slot machines and table games.  The casinos use a number of factors in determining what comps a player earns, however, net win or loss is not the highest on the list.  

The two key factors in determining how much a guest gets comped are hours played and average bet.  The casino uses these criteria to determine a player’s “theoretical” win or loss, and based on this number they will decide if they can issue you a small comp for dining all the way up to a full “RFB” (room, food and beverage).  Slow and steady wins the race; the more time you spend playing, the more you receive in comps.

In order to have the casino track your play it is necessary that you sign up for a players card and use it every time you play.  Each casino has their own players card program and it is strongly recommended that you sign up at every casino you visit. Usually, the casino will offer great bonuses just for signing up and they market appropriately, only sending pertinent offers via mail or email.  Slot machines and video poker machines allow you to insert your players card directly into the machine while table games require that you present the card to the deal who will in turn notify the pit boss to track your play.

In terms of dollar amounts there are various comps available for players of all levels.  Slot players can earn rewards based on playing quarters over a period of 4-6 hours per day for 2-3 days and probably earn enough for a comped dinner or $100 off their final room bill.  The same level of comps applies to table game players who play an average of $15 per hand for the same amount of time. As the average bet increases and the total time of play increases, then so to do the comps.  A table game player who bets an average of $50 per hand and plays 4-6 hours per day for 2-3 days could get their room fully comped, depending on the property they are staying at the how busy it is.

This is where it all goes back to your VIP host and planning ahead.  Your host will let you know what the criteria is for the hotel you want to stay at and the time of year you’re planning on staying there.  A full room comp can be pre-arranged if you plan ahead and you know that you will be playing to the level that is outlined to you by your host.  It is all about choosing the right hotel and casino for your level of play.

For those interested in getting a comped suite in Las Vegas, this is something that should always be pre-arranged.  Often times, the suites on the Las Vegas Strip are only available to casino players how are receiving them as a comp.  That’s right, some hotels do not even offer the suites at retail to paying guests. They have to keep them available just in case a casino player happens to come into the casino.

The level of play to get a suite on the Las Vegas Strip is generally higher than your casual player.  Total bankroll is taken into account and a general starting point would be a gambling bankroll of $10,000.  Players of this level often open lines of credit with the casino and based on this line of credit the player will be given an option of suites available for them.  This is something that you will certainly want to arrange in advance and you will see how your host really rolls out the red carpet for you.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the casinos don’t give players much credit for betting on sports.  While all of the major casinos on the Vegas Strip certainly have sports books, they do not look at betting on sports with the same favor as they do playing slots or table games.

Overall, Las Vegas is still based around customer service and treating people right.  Always get credit for your play and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You will be surprised at how generous the casinos can be in compensating you for your play.

Resorts World is fast becoming a household name with casinos, cruises, and resorts around the world, including: New York, Manila, and the Bahamas. Now, we can add Las Vegas to the list. Resorts World is currently working on construction for an 87-acre mega-resort in Sin City, which is anticipated to open in 2020.

Resorts World Las Vegas is owned by Genting Group, a Malaysian leisure and gaming company valued at $7.2 billion. They will start with a 175,000-square-foot casino space in the resort. Expect top-of-the-line games, new features, and a casino experience to keep you entertained around the clock. The company is preparing to put in over 3,500 slot machines and gaming tables.

The groundbreaking on the site of the former Stardust Casino began on May 5, 2015. The total property has 21,847,314 square feet. The hotel, itself, will have four towers, for a total of 6,583 rooms. Hotel rooms and a casino are just the beginning of what promises to be a resort like no other. There are going to be amenities for everyone. Bring your kids to the aquarium, have an ice skating date with your love, or make a splash in the waterpark. Still looking for more activities? Try exploring the panda exhibit! Yes, you heard that right. Genting Group is bringing a full panda exhibit to Las Vegas. Naturally, the company is working to keep to its roots. Expect the gardens to have Asian details, like Koi ponds, bamboo, and cherry blossom trees.

Las Vegas is not only known for world-class gambling, but also world-class dining and shopping. Resorts World Las Vegas will feature an array of fine Asian cuisine and retail space. In keeping with the Asian theme, the resort will have a ‘modern Asian’ design—think the big buildings of Singapore and China. Originally, the plans were to represent old China with design reminiscent of The Great Wall, but that was abandoned to keep up with the modern approach happening in that area of Las Vegas.

The northern end of the Strip is undergoing a huge makeover. Aside from Genting’s mega-resort, the Wynn, which is next door, is also modernizing itself with Paradise Park, a Carnivale-themed series of attractions and interactive experiences that will include a carousel and bumper cars. The Drew, formerly known as the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which is the tallest building in Las Vegas, is under renovations, as is the Stratosphere and SLS Hotel & Casino.

While 2020 seems far off, the wait is going to be well worth it for Resorts World Las Vegas. Get your bags ready! Pandas, dining, and a waterpark await!

Vegas is called Sin City for a reason. People come to Las Vegas to drink, party, gamble, and, of course, hook up.

People from every age and gender flock to Sin City for the promise of boozy, consequence-free hookups. The chase and the mating grounds are different for everyone. Your Las Vegas hookup likely falls in one of the categories below.

The 20-Something Hookup

For as long as we can remember, 20-somethings have used nightclubs as a hunting ground for hookups. In Vegas, the game is stepped up with shortest of skirts, highest of heels, longest of hair extensions, and most liberal application of makeup. Add bottle service, and you have an instant recipe for a hookup. Whether you’re going to Light, Hyde, or Drai’s, there are plenty of spots to look for your lucky lady or guy.

During the summer, Vegas is notorious for the hookups at its dayclubs. The sun takes it toll while you’re drinking at the pool party, and all clothes are practically off already. Going straight from the pool to the hotel room is common. Daylight, Encore Beach Club, Palms Pool & Dayclub, and Rehab at Hard Rock & Casino are favorites of both the wearers and admirers of teeny bikinis.

The Expensive Hookup

For most guys, a hookup in Vegas is an expensive proposition. Unlike the ladies, they have to pay cover for clubs, and bottle service is a must to lure girls in too-high heels to come sit. Conveniently, bottle service happens to provide enough liquor to facilitate a hookup.

The Shooting-Fish-In-A-Barrel Hookup

For women, the Las Vegas hookup is neither hard, nor expensive. Sure, they sex up their hair and makeup, but that’s more for their Instagram followers than anyone. Guys come to Vegas to hookup. It’s that simple. A woman only has to enter a club for the advances to start, and, often, it’s free for her to do so.

If every man in Vegas seems to be on the prowl, how do you stay out of the hunt? If you and your married girlfriends are coming to Vegas to have fun together—not to be hit on by sleazy, drunken guys—it can be tough. For starters, you should wear your ring if you want to ward off potential suitors. Of course, not all will be deterred.

Whether you are secretly enjoying the attention or trying to be overly polite, don’t lead the guy on. Be very clear that you are taken, and that you are not looking for a hookup. Do not do anything to encourage the attention.

The Mid-Life Hookup

Married cheaters love three things in life: Ashley Madison, the Cheesecake Factory, and Vegas. An actual study revealed that the Cheesecake Factory is the most frequented restaurant of married cheaters, because it enables them to hide in the open and write their companion of as a work colleague, which they couldn’t do in a more romantic restaurant. No study is needed to know that married cheaters love Vegas, whether they come a few times a year with the boys, or they come for conventions. When you start to feel like the oldest guy at the party, casino lounges can provide just as much action as the hottest nightclub in town.

The Tinder Hookup

Thanks to Tinder, people can easily hook up anywhere. In Vegas, Tinder-facilitated hookups are common, but there are a few words of caution.

In an article for Thought Catalog, Susan Jacobs recommend that guys take a closer look at a girl’s profile if she is wearing a bikini, “…read her profile. It may list her hourly price.” Reddit users recommend staying away from anyone with a local profile—they are over the only-in-town-for-one-night hookup. They also warn that competition is stiff. To avoid the competition, weeknights can be easier. On the weekends, many good-looking L.A. actors and actresses—even if many are “aspiring”—descend on Vegas for a weekend trip.

There is still hope for romantics, even in Sin City. Not everything is a drunken hookup. You can fall in love quickly, if you make a connection and do something romantic, like taking a gondola ride at the Venetian or going to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris.

When you do fall in love, you can return to Vegas as a romantic getaway, as many couples do. Nothing is more romantic than celebrating an anniversary getting couples massages at The Qua Spa at Caesar’s Palace, seeing Cirque du Soleil’s Le Rêve, and clinking champagne glasses at The Top of the World restaurant, overlooking the lights of the entire Las Vegas Valley.

No matter what your style of lust or love, Vegas has an adventure in store for everyone!
