One of the newest entertainers to make his home on the Las Vegas strip is Frank Caliendo and you will be entertained. Frank Caliendo is at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas and his show is essentially a conversation amongst the many voices that he he impeccably impersonates. You'll laugh and be surprised how one guy can do so much with his voice while maintaining a flow and energy to a show that will soon be a must see in Las Vegas.

Black Friday is a few days away so you have to be prepared for the pushing and shoving that comes along with shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Somehow the media has worked us all up into a frenzy about having to shop on the one day when too much turkey renders our rational thinking useless. So, prepare yourself and go shopping in Las Vegas.
If you have a need to stroll around a mall but you really want a little less of the Las Vegas casino crowd go south on the Las Vegas strip and check out Town Square Las Vegas. Make an excursion out of it and have a meal at one of the many places to eat at Town Square or let your kids play in the play area. If you see a guy with two kids and a frustrated face that would be me, my wife is most likely in a fitting room comparing at least four blouses that she will claim all make her look fat.
If you are at Town Square without kids don't waste time on a bench go into the Yard House, have a few beers and watch some highlights or you could also catch a movie at Rave Motion Pictures. With diversions like that you might offer to go shopping.
A big fan of Shopping? Here are a few other places you will love:

I have had a love affair with Italian wines for quite sometime, maybe it was my high school English teacher with that long, Italian dark hair or the way she smiled when she talked about growing up on a vineyard in Tuscany. Just thinking about that makes me want to write a run on sentence and have her lecture me about...sorry I digress, Italian wine and food.
I'm back, that feeling is very similar to the feeling of having a long meal at d.vino Italian Food and Wine Bar at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas. Good food, fabulous wine and the effortless ability to stretch a conversation from minutes to hours and to be immersed in a culinary journey as well as feel like a true oenophile. You'll enjoy the comfortable atmosphere at d.vino and the food will delight you with the simple pleasure of an Italian kitchen.
Did I mention they have wine? While the wine list is very good I would suggest the Enomatic. It allows you to sample wine in 1, 2 or 5 oz. servings and is truly the way to turn an afternoon into an evening.

You need to seriously consider staying at the Palazzo Las Vegas. First, you deserve it, you put in the long hours, you deal with the stress of running a household, those dogs that bark at night never allow you to get the decent rest you need. Must I go on, you need a vacation. More importantly, you need a little of the good life. So do it.
This is how it will go, you'll wake up have some coffee and walk down to the Canyon Ranch Spa. Can you say relaxation? Canyon Ranch Spa is not that place where you go for the $15 massage, it's an experience, a transformation really, but why get all fancy with words and emotions, just understand that you'll finally find that happy space. Try Aquavana, an excursion into relaxation by way of water and temperature variations. The Finnish Sauna is good but you need to experience a tropical rain storm or the cool fog in the Experiential Rain environment.
At this point you'll want to walk up to your suite and take a nap but you should indulge in a Cucumber Gimlet and a light lunch at First Food and Bar. As the afternoon develops you can opt for a day of lounging by the Palazzo pool and then gear yourself up for dinner, drinks and dancing at LAVO at the Palazzo Las Vegas.
Understand, this just day one, do I need to mention the 12 other restaurants that are to die for? What about the bars and lounges? The shows? The excitement of the craps tables? It's Vegas people, you need it and the Palazzo has it.
Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Expedia.com and Southwest Airlines. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.
