Las Vegas Things to Do

Pool parties are iconic Vegas. There’s little else that speaks to the lifestyle of this desert city of sin than cooling off with a drink in your hand, sunglasses on your face, and a DJ spinning out the year’s greatest tunes poolside. If you’re looking for a howling good time, a place to see and be seen by the world’s beautiful people, or a place just to wash the previous night away with a cocktail in your hand, a Las Vegas Pool Party is the best way to do it. Here are some of my favorite ones.

When it comes to Vegas, it’s all about the glamour and glitz. Known for the strip and its thousands of flashbulbs, the sparkling neon, the twirling signs and architecturally fantastic hotels, Las Vegas is truly a spectacle to behold. But when it comes to doing just that – beholding the spectacle that is Las Vegas, where’s the best place to do it? Where can you look out over all the grandeur of this glittering dessert jewel and see it all?

Many of Vegas’ glory days are living in our collective memory as days past. We sometimes see the glittering lights of the Palms and wonder what ever became of Franky and the Sahara. For all the glory that is Las Vegas today, there is still something enticing about the old days of ballroom singing, stiff drinks swirling around heavy blocks of ice, and the air of cigar smoke lingering among the heads of poker masterminds.

Where’s the best place to see fireworks this New Year’s Eve? New York? Boston? Seattle? Think again. Las Vegas, being the city of excess that it is, is not to be done up in any arena, and certainly not that of showmanship. This year eight Las Vegas casinos will coordinate a firework spectacular in order to rival the very best in the world.

Well, it appears that the holiday season is fully upon us at last. Thanksgiving has stuffed our bellies to the brim, and all the little ones are looking hard at what the end of the year will bring—and hoping that it brings a fat Santa.

So if you find yourself in the holiday spirit and feel that the lights flickering on the Las Vegas Strip aren’t really doing it for you, fear not, Ethel M Chocolates & Cactus Garden is here to rescue you.

One of the best ways to see what Las Vegas has to offer is with the Las Vegas Power Pass. These kinds of passes are easy to get hooked on as they pretty much offer the best the city has to offer at greatly reduced prices. Without a doubt, you will get your money’s worth with these multi-day passes.

So we’ve all heard of Jerry Seinfeld. His signature brand of comedy kindled our hearts aflame with Seinfeld, the syndicated TV show of years past, and not much has changed in the intervening years. Since the dissolution of the iconic show based in New York City, he’s been touring the US and those of us that can’t seem to get enough of him, or even just remember fondly the sitcom we watched for so many years, have a chance now to see him again – in Las Vegas.

So you’re out on the strip and you’re looking for something to do. You’re thirsty, it’s hot, so you think you’ll grab a drink. Then it dawns on you that you’re in Las Vegas, home to perhaps the largest quotient of flair bar tenders in the world! What is flair bar tending, you ask?

David Copperfield is back in Las Vegas and this world-renowned magician’s skills are still a shocker. Most remember Copperfield’s special television performances at half-time shows and CBS specials while sitting in front of the TV as a kid. Making the Statue of Liberty disappear, flying around on-stage, teleporting to different locations all over the world, this magician has properly earned his post as “most successful magician of all time,” and has easily made his name synonymous with magic.
