CityCenter is Very Close, Are You Getting Excited?

2009-11-29T08:27:25Z

As you look up and down the strip the skyline has been forever transformed by CityCenter and a few days are all that separate you from a room at one of the newest places to be in Las Vegas. Are you looking forward to the dining choices at CityCenter? What about shopping at CityCenter? The plush rooms, the spas, the pools, the...there is so much to look forward to that it is intoxicating.

I'm excited about rooms that will incorporate technology on a scale that has not been experienced in Las Vegas as well as the ability of Las Vegas to embrace sustainable building practices as an example of how to build while maintaining an eye on the environment. But, I am really excited about the new places to have a drink and to indulge in my favorite past time. Eating.

Three-star Michelin Chef Pierre Gagnaire will open his first U.S. restaurant Twist by Pierre Gagnaire at the Mandarin Oriental and you can bet I'll be in line as they unlock the doors. Dare I say a modern French restaurant with views from the 23rd floor of the Las Vegas strip will rise to my list of favorites restaurants in Las Vegas. Well, let's not get crazy, the place is not even open yet, but it will be, soon.

Of course, you cannot forget that "Viva Elvis" will open at ARIA Resort and the new Cirque du Soleil show is a tribute to Elvis Presley and his music.
Prepare yourself as CityCenter starts to creep into your every thought and your need to get to Las Vegas expands into an ever growing craving that must be satisfied.

Plenty of people have ideas oabout development in Las Vegas, what about you, do you have an opinion? What do you think about CityCenter in Las Vegas?

Where Will You Watch the Game in Las Vegas?

2009-11-27T10:46:52Z

The art of spending an entire day at the sports book is a finely crafted talent. You have to gauge your consumption of alcohol, time your restroom breaks and keep yourself fed. It's not easy so you need some resources to aid in your quest to watch every game and Las Vegas sports books can do that for you.

This time of year all we really need is a place to sit around and watch sports all day long. A few big screens, some good food, a few beers and some friends. Take that simple formula and add Las Vegas excitement. Add in the ability to put a few bucks on the game. Add in a server who smiles as she delivers your beer and snacks. Now toss in a room full of people all looking for the same experience and you have Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas.

Sports book, sports bar, lounge and restaurant all combined into one central location where the fanatic can truly enjoy the big games. College football, pro football, baseball and hockey all at once!

What are you doing? There is very little reason for you to be watching any game on that tiny 19 inch box sitting in your living room. Put on some pants, check your t-shirt for stains and then get to the Las Vegas strip for a day long journey into watching sports and having fun.

Do you need to know what is on the menu, I almost forgot, Emeril Lagasse will keep the game day celebration going with the New Orleans inspired cuisine that is perfect for all sports fans. Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas is Heaven for the sports fanatic.

Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Expedia.com and Southwest Airlines Vacations. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.

Go Shopping at Town Square Las Vegas.

2009-11-24T09:03:49Z

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:
