Liz Taylor Parties Like It's 1949

Who says there's an age limit to get into Vegas? Not Elizabeth Taylor, who celebrated her 75th birthday last night in Sin City the way a Dame Commander should: by inviting all her friends to the Ritz. The Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas, that is, 17 miles east of the neon lights of the Strip on a man-made lake in the hills, where Siegfried and Roy and Debbie Reynolds (but not, notably, Michael Jackson) saluted the star.
Don't be fooled, though, into thinking Lake Las Vegas is just for people of, ahem, advanced age. Just staying at the Ritz for the night can make you forget all about the frenetic buzz of Vegas as you kayak on the man-made lake past golfers on shoreside greens or shop the MonteLago "village," a replica of an Italian town complete with gelato stand and gondolas, on its shores. And don't forget the deluxe day spa where the Vegas-employed Celine Dion has been spotted (she has a house nearby). Once you've recharged, ease back into the gambler's life at the casino here, or take a hotel shuttle into town. Don't wait till you're 75 to treat yourself.
