If you think of it from a family point of view, you can take the kids trick-or-treating. If you’re a horror movie fanatic, you’ll enjoy the various marathons shown throughout the week on TV. But if you’re in Las Vegas, Halloween is the perfect excuse to dress up, get sexy and party all night long at the hottest Las Vegas nightclubs around. No matter where you are on the Strip you’re guaranteed to find something to do on Halloween. The Bellagio Hotel and Casino has their Saints and Sinners party every year, and you can check out the Jet Halloween Ball at The Mirage. Hotels like this often feature incredible costume parties and contests with grand prizes worth thousands of dollars! The grand prize for the Jet Party is $20,000 for best costume. Over at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino Las Vegans put their own twist on the Nightmare on Elm Street films with their Nightmare on 54th Street party at the Studio 54 club. These parties aren’t for the timid. Women show up in itty bitty costumes and the alcohol flows all night. If partying on Halloween isn’t your thing, you might want to check out some of the darker themed Las Vegas shows. If you love magic no one is hotter on the Strip right now than Criss Angel. His show Criss Angel: Believe mixes the popular magician’s magic skills with the incredible touch of Cirque du Soleil and the usual gothic imagery of Criss Angel’s Mindfreak show. You can also go for the classic Vegas interpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera with Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular. No matter what kind of spooky or sinful fun you desire you can always find it in Las Vegas!

Las Vegas Places To Eat Pinks Hot Dogs In Vegas

2009-10-08T00:19:39-07:00

As Guy Fieri likes to say on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives this is "the real deal" Pink's in Las Vegas. They have my turkey dog! And since they're open till 3 AM on Friday and Saturday nights and till around midnight during the week, that's one accessible Pink's turkey dog. Now don't be fooled, there are some major differences between Pink's Las Vegas and the original Pink's Hollywood: 1.  Pink's Las Vegas is in a better neighborhood, and about 275 miles closer. 2.  Here you don't have to buy a snack from the gas station convenience store across the street while waiting to buy your meal because you're starving and the wait is legendary at the Pink's in Hollywood 3.  Pink's Las Vegas takes credit cards, Pink's Hollywood takes cash only 4.  You can eat at their outdoor patio literally right on the Las Vegas Strip and stare at the massive City Center and catch a glimpse of the Fountains Of Bellagio water show 5.  In true Las Vegas fashion, you can get a Margarita or Daiquiri My big concern was would the turkey dog taste as good as it does from Pink's Hollywood?  And it definitely does!  Yet somehow I couldn't help thinking that it's just a little too easy to eat at Pink's Las Vegas.  There's a major sense of accomplishment that's missing when you can literally walk up and buy what you want instead of waiting an hour and a half or so and bonding with everyone on line who's in the same boat. The upside is that with the extra time my husband and I saved by not having to wait in line like we do at Pink's Hollywood, we were able to take a nice long walk on the Las Vegas Strip, burn off the turkey dog, catch part of the Rockies-Dodgers final series of the baseball season at The Mirage sportsbook, catch two shows of The Fountains of Bellagio and watch the new volcano eruption show at The Mirage.  I miss living in California, but that'll work! What will you do with the time you save eating at Pink's Las Vegas? Melanie R. Jordan, Author, Publisher, Infopreneur/Marketing Coach with Vegas Inside Scoop (TM)!

There is no better place to experience Cirque Du Soleil than in Las Vegas. While many of the shows this Montreal circus company creates travel, no other place in North America has more Cirque shows than Las Vegas, Nevada. If you’ve never been to Vegas or have yet to see any of the Las Vegas shows, you should definitely consider seeing one of Cirque’s offerings. One of the most acclaimed shows is “O” at The Bellagio.� This show cost $70 million dollars to produce and features the classic acrobatics and visuals of the Cirque Du Soleil company with the added spectacle of a 1.5 million gallon pool. The acrobats and performers of Cirque du Soleil perform both over, under and on the water in a seamless acrobatic act.� � Every Cirque show has a theme. In KA,�you will experience an Asian-influenced tale of sibling adventure at the MGM Grand. Inspired by martial arts and the masks of Kabuki and Chinese opera, KA will delight the senses with bright colors, exciting music and incredible martial arts stunts all woven in with a live soundtrack of beautiful music. � If you’re a fan of The Beatles, then you must see LOVE.� LOVE is Cirque’s tribute to the four men from England that forever changed the world with their music. You will see your favorite Beatles’ songs interpreted in a way only Cirque du Soleil can. Every cultural element in the songs are represented through artistic dance, colors, light and sound for a tribute you will never forget. For a more sensual side of Cirque, check out Zumanity.� This show is sexy and for adults. It explores all areas of human sexuality across various races, cultures, lifestyles and gender. As with every Cirque show everything is presented with elegance and beautiful artistic elements that keep this racier Cirque show a class act. Last but not least, we have Criss Angel’s Believe. � Believe is what happens when you mix Vegas magic with the Cirque du Soleil extravaganza. Let Cirque and Criss Angel bring you mind-blowing magic intertwined with acrobatics, stunts, music and effects that combine to bring you an awesome show of illusion that you’ll never forget. No matter which Cirque show you check out in Las Vegas, you’re sure to find one that will suit your fancy.

The Inside Scoop: Las Vegas Hotel Perks

2009-08-19T09:49:19-07:00

Everything is bigger, better and brighter including Las Vegas hotels.  Hotels in Sin City are guaranteed to have features and perks unlike any other in the nation. From incredible spas and shopping to delectable cuisine and nightlife, a Vegas hotel will provide you with a world-class experience. But there are plenty of other things about Vegas hotels that you won’t find on a regular vacation in a regular big city. If you’re looking for some truly unique fun, forget about the clubs and spas—check out some of the great finds at these hotels! At Wynn Las Vegas, you’ll get to enjoy 5 star luxuries and a beautiful landscape around its shining gold façade. But golfers will love the fact that The Wynn has an 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Fazio. Spend a day golfing under the clear Las Vegas sky on this gorgeous course. If you make it to all 18 holes you’ll be greeted by the sight of a beautiful 37 foot tall waterfall. There’s a complete pro shop, putting greens and two cafes for you to grab a bite to eat after a day on the golf course. If the desert has you longing for the ocean, head over to the Mandalay Bay Resort.  This hotel is closer to the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, making it a bit of an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Vegas. The Mandalay Bay has a 1.6 million gallon aquarium that is home to gorgeous sea creatures you wouldn’t find anywhere in Nevada. Walk through underground tunnels that let you watch sea turtles, jelly fish, piranha and sharks swim overhead in the blue waters of the aquarium. It’s a relaxing and refreshing sight. Speaking of water, no trip to Vegas is complete without a trip to The Bellagio for its fountain show. Relax and watch the show like the cast of Ocean’s 11 did in the movie as 1,200 fountains explode to a chorus of beautiful music. You’ll never see the same show twice as the fountains are programmed to go off randomly every 15-30 minutes. The best thing about this show, even though it cost $40 million dollars to build the fountains, it’s totally free to watch.   Finally, the thrill-seeking crowd will love checking out The Stratosphere hotel.  The Stratosphere’s tower is the third highest structure in the nation and you can party in the observation deck. But the coolest part of the tower is the thrill rides! Insanity-The Ride, makes you feel as if you’re going to fly right off the edge of the building. Big Shot launches you straight up the tower and for a twisted version of a see-saw, ride X-Scream to be sent 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere to dangle 900 feet over Las Vegas. Whatever you’re in the mood for, Vegas will have something for you to do. So make sure you explore some of the hidden gems of these Las Vegas hotels and look for great Las Vegas hotel deals and discounts on BestOfVegas.com.   Guest Post provided by Lourdes Gutierrez Melanie R.

There's a reason Las Vegas is called the entertainment capital of the world.� Only in Sin City can you see Broadway musicals, hilarious comedians, world-class magicians and hypnotists, and beautiful showgirls and hunky performers - all off of one particularly well-lit boulevard.� No matter what your entertainment tastes are, you can find a show to knock your socks off in Las Vegas.� And we've got the scoop on the cream of the crop, the must-see Las Vegas Shows of 2009. � If you've got a hankering for something saucy and scintillating, you can satisfy your craving at the new modern� burlesque at Planet Hollywood, PEEPSHOW.� The newest show on the Strip, PEEPSHOW opened April 18th and has received rave reviews from everyone from tourists to critics to cab drivers – and if the Sin City cab drivers love a show, then you know it’s good. Playboy bunny Holly Madison and Broadway performer Shoshana Bean star in this sexy striptease of fairy tales gone naughty. If the show’s Broadway-quality sets and music don't entertain you, then the performers’ barely-there outfits will certainly get your blood pumping. � Speaking of music, Vegas has two major musical divas to offer - Cher and Bette Midler�at Caesar's Palace.� Each show is a visual spectacle filled with lots of fun and outfit changes.� Fans who love Cher will get a super dose of the legend as she runs down all her hits on an ever-changing set.� And with the Divine Miss M, the audience will be endlessly entertained as she performs songs old and new while cracking them up with her classic, raunchy humor.� � Incidentally, humor's one thing there's no shortage of on the Strip.� Las Vegas is one of the only places where you can regularly see comedian Wayne Brady, a headliner at The Venetian showroom.� Few entertainers are as charming and witty as Brady, who sprinkles his unique stand-up show with musical performances and lots of audience interaction.� If you loved him on Who's Line Is It Anyway?,you'll love this show, which is chock-full of Brady-style improvisation.� � Also hysterical and wildly entertaining is Penn & Teller, which is one of the most brilliant, if not the most brilliant, magic shows on the Strip.� Now headlining at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, the towering Penn and silent Teller put on a show that's funny, mystifying, intelligent and overall, entertaining, filled with death-defying tricks that will make you say, "How did they do that?"� Best yet, you'll get the answer to your question as this magical duo breaks down their tricks and explains their magical secrets!� � Finally, you don't have to go to New York for New York-quality musicals.� Here in Las Vegas, we've got Jersey Boys, Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular, and The Lion King, which is at Mandalay Bay. All three are fantastic productions filled with great music.� � No trip to Las Vegas is complete without sampling some of Sin City's incredible entertainment, which includes the shows we've just mentioned and much, much more.� So plan your trip now, and be sure to check out BestOfVegas.com where you can find the best prices on Las Vegas show tickets. � Post provided by BestOfVegas.com Staff Writer Melanie R.

The Inside Scoop: Las Vegas’ Hottest Nightclubs

2009-06-08T22:10:28-07:00

Certainly, it can’t be restricted... Everyone knows the expression “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas,” which implies that all sorts of crazy ongoings have the potential to happen in Sin City. But where does all this wild fun happen? Certainly, it can’t be restricted to one part of the city, but a great place to start nonetheless is in a Las Vegas nightclub. No matter who you are from 9 to 5, you can shed your inhibitions and truly let loose at these party hubs, where even Hollywood’s elite come to get their dance and drink on. Men, women, wallflowers, dance nuts, gamblers, and yes, even the “cocktail enthusiast” – Las Vegas�nightclubs welcome you all, some more so than other.� Vegas has no shortage of clubs for every class of partier, so regardless of what your style is, you’re sure to find good times at night. For the luxury seeker, Bank Nightclub at the Bellagio will suit you best with its swanky décor and VIP atmosphere that seems especially designed for the high-roller. You’ll feel the glamorous vibe literally upon your entrance –the club’s foyer is lined with clear glass walls, through which hundreds of bottles of Dom Perignon and Cristal can be seen. And of course, you can enjoy some of that wealth with European bottle service while you people-watch (or dance) from one of the club’s multiple tiers. Another fun place to people watch is TAO Nightclub at the Venetian, where you can feast your eyes on not only the beautiful club-goers but also the beautiful models, which dance around in flower bikinis and lounge about in pools and bathtubs. Modeled after a Mediterranean bathhouse, TAO has one of the coolest atmospheres in Vegas. Celebrities especially love starting their night with dinner in the downstairs Asian bistro and ending it with drinks and dancing in the upstairs club. � If you’re looking for a mellower place to hang at night, check out ghostbar�at the Palms. A great spot to meet people, ghostbar features a breathtaking outdoor terrace looking down on the Strip – and the fact that it’s surrounded by glass is a mind trip, even if you haven’t been drinking. On the other side of the spectrum, Rain Nightclub offers a high-energy nightclub, perfect for ladies who love to dance, with the best DJs (DJ AM and DJ Paul Oakenfold) and the best fire and water effects in the city. � Meanwhile, those with edgier tastes in nightlife will enjoy Wasted Space�at the Hard Rock, an intimate club playing the hottest rock hits. If you hate traditional super-clubs, you’ll love Wasted Space, which features live performances, dark-toned tattoo-inspired décor, and a casual dress code.� The fact that it’s owned by Carey Hart, baseball’s Jason Giambi, and rockers Benji and Joel Madden doesn’t hurt, either.� � With so many clubs to choose from, a great night in Las Vegas is never far away. The only hard part is trying to remember what happened the morning after – but that secret is between you and the city. To start planning your wild night out on the town, check out Las Vegas nightclubs�on BestOfVegas.com. � Guest Post provided by Allison Dieppa Melanie R.

Las Vegas Places To Eat Carmines Pizza Kitchen

2009-04-11T23:02:37-07:00

So when I saw the banner go up announcing that Carmine's Pizza Kitchen, from the original founder of Villa Pizza, was opening on Rainbow Blvd and Tropicana, it caught my eye.  And when they added a grand opening special on April 2nd of a $3.99 large cheese pizza--trying it had to be a no-brainer!  By the way, that was a one-day proposition, don't expect that price when you visit.  You had to be there day one. Ironically, I stopped at Carmine's Pizza Kitchen to get a pizza that day for dunch for myself and my husband on the way back from kickboxing at the gym--at least I worked out first, and yes we froze half.  The parking lot was full and the place was packed.  Plus they had those red and white checked tablecloths on the tables that is usually the sign of a good down-home italian place.  All good signs. The decor was nicely contemporary inside, with LCD TVs at 6 of the tables, and "grapevines" overhead for atmosphere.  I also liked the fact that at Carmine's Pizza Kitchen you can see them working on the pizzas right behind the counter.  The guy who took my order was friendly despite the crazy crowd--okay, that wasn't authentic NYC--no attitude, but I can live with that. I had time to look at the menu while they made my pizza up fresh with extra sauce, and was pleased to see that for my next visit they offer spinach and broccoli as toppings.  Yes I know that's not authentic NYC either, but since I came out West (California and Colorado first), I learned to eat much healthier and I seek out vegetables to add to my pizza. But ultimately, how was the pizza?  Awesome! Authentic NYC flavor with the right sauce taste and cheese taste and texture that's hard to find in Las Vegas pizza.  And it was not dripping oil as is the case with so many Las Vegas pizza places!  I would definitely go back and pay full price for Carmine's Pizza Kitchen pizza--but they probably knew that all along! Carmine's also makes Sicilian pizza, and a variety of traditional italian pasta dinners, subs, calzones and salads that will have to be investigated in the future too! Carmine's Pizza Kitchen4950 S.

The Las Vegas Review Journal has a great summary and map of the best places to see the Las Vegas New Year's Eve fireworks here: http://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/events/newyearseve/ Those inclined for additional thrills can also witness two stunts this evening from Robbie Knievel who will jump the Mirage Volcano and Robbie Maddison at Paris Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Strip is closed to traffic between Russell and Sahara after about 6 p.m., and the I-15 ramps at Tropicana, Flamingo, Spring Mountain and Harmon close at 5 p.m.  A great bet is to take the Las Vegas Monorail to get around http://www.lvmonorail.com.
