Jackie’s Hot List
Las Vegas is all about fresh brewed craft beer. Tenaya Creek Brewery, after outgrowing its original 1999 location, opened a new operation this past year in the downtown area at 831 W. Bonanza Road. Instantly, the business tripled its brewing capacity with room to eventually produce 10 times more volume and added a canning line.

Be Still and Eat
Around the room find 22 televisions, as well as a bar loaded with more than 50 craft and draught beers. Cocktail time kicks off a visit to the Still. The whiskey-forward menu captures the range of the popular spirit, expertly pairing it with the sweet, salty and spicy foods it complements so well.

Just Ask a Local
While it may not be the most bountiful buffet, Le Village Buffet inside Paris Las Vegas (caesars.com/paris-las-vegas/ restaurants/le-village-buffet) has been my favorite since I moved from Los Angeles almost 14 years ago.

WONDERFUL WATER PARKS
Wet ’n’ Wild This 20-acre water park about 12 miles southwest of the Strip features more than 25 slides and attractions, so there’s something for everyone. Thrill-seekers will love the Tornado, Rattler and Constrictor. Or you can chill out at Paradise Falls, the Colorado Cooler lazy river and Red Rock Bay wave pool.

Stay Cool This Summer
When Vegas heats up, nothing feels better than cooling down. What better way to do that than to grab your swimsuit and dive into the nearest pool or water park? There are plenty of them. Don’t forget the sunscreen, and prepare for prune skin if you stay long enough.

Grab a Drink and Relax
Las Vegas’ coolest attraction just got a whole lot cooler. Minus5 Ice Bar inside the Shoppes at Mandalay Place recently unveiled a new look, including new ice sculptures and an expanded ice bar and lounge.

JUST CHILL

Make a Splash
From Daylight to Marquee to an old-school favorite like Rehab, no Las Vegas summer is complete without experiencing the Strip corridor’s chic pool clubs and epic pool parties. These fashionable venues feature world-renowned deejays and EDM entertainers, so wearing cutoff shorts, thrashed flip-flops and a ragged T-shirt just won’t do.

A Pool for Every Vibe
Vegas is hot in the summer — in more ways than one. A great way to cool off, Vegas-style? Pool party! From low key to high intensity, Vegas has turned the generic poolside experience into something grand — some might say epic. Here are just a few to suit your mood.

Nightlife
Whether you’re just grabbing your daily juice, stocking up for the week, recovering from a rough weekend or feeling a cold coming on, chances are there’s a juice on the menu for you at one of the many juicers in town — available in both alcoholic and nonalcoholic versions, of course!.

The Ultimate Metamorphosis
In April, Intrigue replaced Tryst as the upscale flagship nightclub of Wynn Las Vegas. The new 14,000-square-foot venue is built to look different from month to month, meriting multiple repeat visits, and features an ultra-private club-within-a-club for celebrity guests.

Fore!
Topgolf players hit golf balls containing microchips that track each shot’s accuracy and distance, awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. Yet while its climate-controlled hitting bays are at the heart of the Topgolf experience, there’s so much more, including impressive food and beverage menus, music, games and hundreds of HDTVs.

MAKING IT OUT ALIVE
Slather on the sunscreen, and don’t forget to reapply. It’s also wise to wear a hat or a bandanna and sunglasses to shield you from those burning rays..

Destination: Downtown
Summer’s here. And although there are plenty of air-conditioned casinos offering shelter from the glaring desert sun, people don’t come to Vegas to hide from the heat. They come to revel in it.
