THE GUIDE
Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE
Cecilia Allred Supervisor, Concierge Services at The Venetian and The Palazzo
Q: Tell me about one of your favorite places to send first-time Vegas visitors. A: Whether they are from the United States or international, I always recommend the Grand Canyon. Their length of stay will determine the best way to see it. My favorite is by helicopter to the west rim or plane to the south rim because it saves so much time. The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and it is a must visit. The vistas and wildlife are breathtaking and you will thank yourself for taking the opportunity while you are here. Q: Tell me about your favorite hidden gem in Las Vegas. A: I love clothes and I find some unique, one-of-a kind styles at the gift shops in the resorts on the Strip. Seriously. And sometimes even at bargain prices. And you will avoid that dreaded moment when you see someone else wearing your outfit. Q: Where should I eat if I want to celebrate a special occasion? A: My favorite, and my family’s favorite for our celebrations has always been B & B Ristorante at the Venetian. The menu is fresh and not your average Italian fare. The bar is a great place to grab a quick bite before a show at the Venetian or Palazzo too. The bartenders, or more to the point, mixologists, are incredibly inventive and equally charming. Q: What’s the craziest request you’ve ever had from a guest? A: The craziest requests are the ones where a concierge must respond to the guest that we are only able to arrange what is moral, legal and ethical. Yes, it happens to all of us. Q: What’s the must-see show in Las Vegas right now? A: Again, this is impossible to pick one. I have to say “Baz” at the Palazzo. I have seen it four times and love it. It keeps you entertained with the action and live music and is so romantic. Find more tips from concierges on wheretraveler.com 40 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I J A N UA R Y 2018
