Las Vegas TRAVEL GUIDE
.

HOT LIST
Spirits are sure to be bright when former “American Idol” contestants Diana DeGarmo, Lou Gazzara, Jasmine Trias, Laura Suzanne Wright and Ace Young join a talented cast of Broadway and Las Vegas performers to spread some holiday cheer in “This is Christmas.

GETTING SOME AIR
Las Vegas has always been an escapist destination – the place we visit to forget the 9-to-5 grind and responsibilities of the "real" world. But now Vegas escapism has reached soaring new heights, almost literally, with the opening of FlyOver, the city's first flight-ride attraction.

GROUP Glamour
Whether you are celebrating a birthday or a bachelorette party, it’s almost a guarantee that a “glamour and pamper” trip to Las Vegas includes a stop at one of the city’s soothing spas for some beautification and rejuvenation.

CELEBRATING 100-PLUS YEARS OF A VEGAS Original
In a land of spectacular demolitions and cranes jutting into the desert sky, you’d be surprised, perhaps, to learn that any hotel can last more than 50 years in Vegas. That said, Downtown Las Vegas has copious historic flair – and none more storied than the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino.

THE ‘Circa’ OF LIFE
Celebrating one year of operation this winter, Circa Resort & Casino uniquely marries state-of-the-art luxury and gaming to downtown Las Vegas' storied hospitality, swagger and charm.

A Rebrand WITH Harmony
After closing its doors in February 2020, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino reopened last March as the newly reimagined Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

PAINT THE TOWN Silver and Black
Las Vegas surely is as they welcome the Raiders to Sin City. First, they were the Oakland Raiders. Then they were the Los Angeles Raiders.

The ‘Queen’s’ New Reign
A-list music residencies and Vegas: Name a better duo. While the two may now be inextricably tied, it’s worth noting that the one woman who revolutionized the concept almost 20 years ago was Canadian vocalist and megastar, “Queen of Adult Contemporary” Celine Dion.

THE NEWEST Jewel IN THE Crown
If you’ve been on the Strip in the last few years, you may have seen a cluster of cranes and a lot of development just to the north. As of June 24, the cranes are gone and in their place is a new luxury resort and hotel so large and encompassing it can only be called one thing: Resorts World.

Palatial PARKING
When brothers Derek and Greg Stevens conceived their glittering new Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas, “different” seemed to be their watchword. And this theme extends all the way to the property’s adjacent parking structure, the wonderfully named Garage Mahal.

WARM UP WITH Whiskey
Las Vegas isn’t known for its cold weather, but the temperature can drop low enough during the winter months for the occasional snow flurry to surprise guests. So if you’re planning on visiting during this time, you might need something a bit heavier than your trusty SoCal “coat.

BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it seemed like Las Vegas’ bountiful buffets had carved their final slice of prime rib. However, proving you can’t keep a good man — err, buffet — down, one of the Strip’s most lauded smorgasbords has reopened following a multi-million-dollar renovation.

A REAL CULINARY 'CATCH'
Celebrity favorite CATCH recently brought its heralded brunch experience to the Las Vegas Strip, debuting its decadent daytime feast at the restaurant’s ARIA Resort & Casino location. Available Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
