After cashing in on a wedding and a move to NYC, Kim Kardashian has found a way to make a few bucks ringing in the New Year.
It's being reported that TAO Nightclub in Las Vegas is paying Kim $600,000 to host multiple events at the venue in 2012, including their New Year's Eve Party.]]>
When it comes to Halloween, Heidi Klum is the hostess with the mostest. Her legendary parties bring out celebs like Kim Kardashian, Michelle Trachtenberg, John Legend, and Brooklyn Decker, not to mention some over-the-top costumes.
This year Heidi is moving her 12th annual Halloween bash from NYC to Las Vegas for the first time. The party will be held at TAO on Saturday, October 29 at 10pm with DJ Questlove providing the perfect soundtrack. ]]>
When we travel, one of our favorite things to do is to pop into a local grocery store and check out the food products and candies we'd never find anywhere else. So we're trying out this new feature, Foreign Grocery Friday, where each week we'll feature some of our (and your) favorite overseas treats. Got a recommendation? Let us know!
Okay so it's not technically foreign, but the Lobster Ice Cream at Las Vegas' new Lobster ME food kiosk in the Miracle Mile mall is totally worth a feature on its own. For one, it's totally Vegas in that it's something so weird, so novelty, so foreign to Vegas that's cool by default. In fact, perhaps the only people in the country who wouldn't turn their nose up at the stuff would be visitors to Vegas, open to wild and crazy new experiences (and with coin to drop on expensive ice cream).
Even a friend from Maine traveling to Vegas with us—a person who knows his lobster—refused to try it, instead opting for Lobster ME's lobster grilled cheese.]]>
Sometimes in life, you just crave a nice, white-tablecloth meal with ice water in glass goblets and an attentive waiter who recommends the fish. Sometimes, however, you can't always indulge that desire if you also want to travel, buy nice things, pay rent/mortgage, etcetera etcetera. This is why we rejoice whenever Restaurant Weeks come around, when top-notch restaurants discount three-course prix-fixe meals to a level where it's totally cool to have a spontaneous date or skip the carry-out, opting instead for the white tablecloths and glass water goblets.
The next city to feed its foodies is Las Vegas, during their restaurant week(s) August 29 - September 11. Unlike the simplicity of NY Restaurant Week, Las Vegas will have different pricing levels based on level of restaurant and quality of meal: $20.10 & $30.01 Lunches and $30.10 & $50.10 Dinners. What you choose really depends on your budget and what must-eat-at restaurant you want to cross off your bucket list. ]]>
Tax day is coming, and you are excited not because you look forward to sifting through receipts and credit card statements, but because you're getting a fat refund...probably. The economy may be on its way back up, but you should try to stretch that tax refund as far as you can.
Tax Day has come and gone, and now you're finally ready to spend that refund. What better place to squander your extra cash than Las Vegas? Whether you hit a fine-dining restaurant or the casino, there are plenty of places to blow cash.]]>
So far 2011 seems to be a big year for new airlines to start expanding and announcing new routes. Vision Airlines started the year off with a bang, and now it looks like another carrier is testing the waters. New York-based gamblers are in for a treat, as the brandy new LV Air is looking to link the Big Apple with Sin City sooner rather than later.
The new service will be a regularly scheduled charter operation, and they’re thinking about using some wide body aircraft—that means plenty of seats to and from the two cities. They’re hopeing there’s enough demand to run four flights per day, but we’ll have to wait and see if that’s actually the case. Will they be 2011's Jet America? God we hope not. ]]>
Attention: there's a new private jets company out there, called JetSuite. So what, right? There's like, a billion others and we can't afford a single one of them. Well, JetSuite was started by some of the founding members of JetBlue, which explains the similar name, but they've also got a package to Las Vegas that could be doable, if you and your friends want to splash out a bit.
JetSuite is calling it the "Ultimate Las Vegas Getaway," and yeah—it would be pretty sweet to be one of the people on one of the many private jets that land at McCarran. For four people to depart on one of JetSuite's Embraer Phenom 100 jets (with an interior designed by BMW) from the LA area, plus transportation to the airport, plus a two-night stay in a two-bedroom Parlor Suite and additional connecting room at the Wynn Las Vegas, it's a TOTAL of $3,799. Make an even $4K when you add in some champagne. That's 1K each. ]]>
