Every Performance Makes History
Entertainer has already broken Elvis’ record—what’s next?
Barry Manilow never met Elvis Presley, but he did stay in the original Elvis Suite when Westgate Las Vegas was The Hilton. “It was an older suite, but it was huge,” Manilow told Las Vegas Magazine in an exclusive interview. “It was the entire floor, the entire 30th floor, so I did get a sense of where he actually stayed when he was there.”
The 30th floor was remodeled shortly after Manilow’s Hilton 1985 debut. He stays in the current Elvis Suite when he flies into Vegas for his Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home shows. For Manilow, it was love at first sight when he saw the stage where The King reigned for 636 shows (last year, Manilow broke Presley’s record at the property, meaning that with every single perfor-
mance, Manilow is rewriting Vegas entertainment history). Arenas enable him to take his music to the masses, but he considers the stage and audience capacity at the International Theater perfect for what he does.
“I like traveling into the audience,” said Manilow. “I have trouble being as intimate as I want to be with an arena. It’s fun and it’s exciting, but it’s a whole different kind of feeling than the Westgate. The Westgate is the perfect room for me. Out of all the rooms that I’ve ever played, this is the one for me. If I was building one for myself, this is the size I would have built.” – Matt Kelemen

Take to the Skies
See Southern Nevada like never before
If you’ve never taken a helicopter flight before, Las Vegas might be one of the best places to try it. And Maverick Helicopters offers a variety of packages that not only give you a bird’s-eye view of the Strip, but also lets you fly above the Grand Canyon or the wilderness outside the city.
One of the most popular packages has to be the Vegas Views tour. It will whisk you up from Maverick’s terminal at the south end of the Strip for a 10- to 12-minute journey up and around Las Vegas Boulevard, giving you magnificent vistas all the way. (The quicker nature of the tour means it’s easier to fit in on a tight schedule.)
If you’ve got a little more time, hop on board the Neon & Nature tour for a slightly longer experience,
including views of both the Strip and Red Rock Canyon, and a 30-minute landing looking over the valley. For something even more special, opt for a sunset tour.
And, of course, if the Grand Canyon is on your radar, Maverick Helicopters offers a variety of tours that encompass longer excursions to the natural wonder and options for champagne landings (Wind Dancer sunset tour), and ones that include a landing at Grand Canyon West’s amazing Skywalk—a glass bridge cantilevered over the canyon—and Lake Mead (Skywalk Odyssey tour). – Nina King

The Stars Come Out
See some of the biggest celebrities up close
Las Vegas is the city where you can see all your favorite stars—both live onstage and re-created in wax at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. The attraction’s latest lineup is a who’s who of the hottest music stars of the moment, and the most recent addition is arguably the biggest: Post Malone.
The figure, replicating the look Post Malone wore for his musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live in 2022, is dressed in a black Tom Ford suede jacket, turtleneck jumper, black jeans, cowboy boots and crystallized belt. Additional details, all donated by the performer himself, include Chrome Hearts hoop earrings and ring. The level of detail, right down to the hair on his mole, resulted in a figure so lifelike that Post Malone said, upon seeing it, said, “I literally thought that was a person!”
Another detail that will have his fans giddy is the beer-filled red cup he’s holding. And fans can “challenge” him to a game of neon beer pong as part of a new experience. “Post Malone’s impact on music and pop culture is undeniable, and we’re thrilled to bring his dynamic persona to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas,” said Linsey Stiglic, marketing manager at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, in a press release. “Post Malone is having quite the year for iconic collabs—Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, to name a few. We’re proud to have worked with the multigenre artist on his incredible new wax figure.” – Ken Miller

Have a Sweet Time
Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, with some cool cactuses thrown in. Sign us up! Take a beat away from the Las Vegas Strip and head out to the ’burbs to check out the city’s own Ethel M Chocolates Factory & Cactus Garden
You can go on a self-guided factory tour and see how the proverbial magic is made and then check out the retail store with cases and cases filled with individual, specially made chocolates—it’s like a buffet of goodness. You can even take some boxes of Ethel M creations home as you peruse the retail s tore.
But that’s not all! Ethel M offers a chocolate-tasting experience where guests will learn a little bit about how the chocolate is sourced, refined and produced. There is also a chocolate
and wine pairing for those 21+, pairing a variety of red and white wines with various chocolates. You’ll detect notes you never knew existed in both the wine and the chocolate!
After your sweet treat experiences, take a stroll through the property’s three-acre garden that features more than 300 native species of plants, including cactuses and succulents.
Ethel M, a small-batch, luxury chocolate maker, is a division of the famed Mars candy company. The division was formed in the 1980s and named after Franklin Mars’ mother, Ethel, and is the only premium and artisanal boxed chocolate in the Mars brand. – Kiko Miyasato
