How To Chill

LAS VEGAS

Welcome to Las Vegas. Whew, it's hot out! One of the most popular ways to stay cool in the 100+ temperatures is a dip in the pool, and Las Vegas pool environments will knock your flip-flops off! Looking to kick back in luxurious surroundings? The Garden of the Gods at Caesars Palace offers numerous options. Or, for as much fun as the day is long, head to the water park; we've got one on either side of town, Cowabunga Bay in Henderson and Wet 'n' Wild on the west side. Anytime you head out of doors, though, slather on the sunscreen and drink plenty of water!

Should you go inside, head to the back counter where you can create your own cupcake sundae— ice cream is served between a cupcake cut open under the top.

SHOW STOPPERS

Sassy & Seductive A trip to the Luxor is all it takes to find the women of your dreams. That’s where you’ll find the aptly titled “Fantasy,” which stars a bevy of gorgeous women— among them seductive singer Lorena Peril, who’ll wow you with her powerhouse vocals—her singing complements the professionally trained dancers; entertainer Sean E. Cooper provides wildly funny comic relief; and an aerial silks artist performs an act mid-air. Produced by the award-winning Anita Mann (who once danced for Elvis Presley), it’s the choreography that keeps this adult revue fresh. Its racy vignettes play into the fantasies of audience members and include an emulation of Jessica Rabbit and three ladies cavorting in one bed. The show has also received “Best Showgirls” and “Best Topless Show” awards from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Las Vegas Weekly.

Nightly at 10:30 pm, 18+. $39-$59. Luxor, 702.262.4400

Your Own Private Show Take in a magic show in the epitome of luxury in Las Vegas: tional Hotel. That’s where you’ll find David Gatti. The Italian-

“Le Rêve: The Dream”

born magician is a master at sleight of hand, and this up-close and personal magic experience will leave you in awe—you’ll be seated just inches away from Gatti in this intimate enviroment, giving you access to a performer like never before.

Elegant in both his personal style and technique, Gatti’s show is full of charm and humor; its audience is definitely a place to see and be seen, so you’ll certainly want to don your best apparel. There’s also a full bar on site, and with performances on Saturday and select Friday nights, Gatti’s is the perfect date-night show—so become a high roller for an evening and witness the spectacle that is “Magia.” Tickets start at $79.

Dream Theater Voted by Las Vegas concierges as the best production show in town for five consecutive years, “Le Rêve: The Dream” continues to impress. Its $3 million finale is the result of a partnership with WET Design (creators of the Bellagio Fountains and Mirage Volcano) and “Dancing With the Stars” season 18 winner Maksim Chmerkovskiy for a stunning spectacular with 172 high-powered fountains, 120 individual LED lighting fixtures, 16 fire-shooting devices and sensuous dance sequences. Watch it from the comfort of oversized seating as you splurge on the VIP Indulgence Package, which lets you watch the goings-on behind the scenes and underwater while treating you to Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and gourmet truffles. After the show, your ticket becomes a front-of-the-line pass for Surrender nightclub. Wynn Las Vegas, 702.770.9966

ON THE SCENE

CLUBS THE CELEBS LOVE • LAKESIDE CHARMER Las Vegas is home away from home for many a celebrity, but for A-listers taking on the DJ booth, you can’t top Hyde Bellagio. A favorite of the Jonas Brothers, Jamie Foxx and countless others, this club fronting Lake Bellagio beckons with its decadent views, grooves, cocktails and small-plates from the adjacent LAGO restaurant.

Bellagio, 702.693.8700 • FUN IN THE SUN The originator of Las Vegas daylife, the 54,500-square-foot Wet Republic is composed of large saltwater pools, intimate dipping pools, daybeds, tricked-out bungalows and party cabanas. It’s Las Vegas’ most celebrated pool clubs, and DJ Steve Aoki calls it one of his “favorite places to play in Las Vegas.” We think it will become one of yours as well. MGM Grand, 702.891.3563

Encore Beach Club

To the Beach

These must-visit dayclubs are tops with sunseekers.

DRAI’S BEACH CLUB Vegas’ only rooftop beach party, Drai’s Beach Club is a 30,000-square-foot pool deck with panoramic 360-degree views of the city. It was named one of “America’s Coolest Rooftop Bars” by Travel & Leisure magazine. The Cromwell, 702.777.3800 ENCORE BEACH CLUB This 60,000-square-foot paradise that’s adored by concierges includes want-fornothing cabanas and eight two-story cabanas with private hot tubs. The two-level beach club also offers covetable lily pads where sun seekers can see and be seen.

Encore, 702.770.7300 TAO at The Venetian

TAOriffic All good things begin—and end—at TAO, a lavishly designed lounge, restaurant and version of NYC’s popular nightclub. Like its predecessor, our TAO has become a celebrity haven in its own right; it’s a cool spot for celebrity birthdays, and impromptu performances are common. Begin your evening with appetizers and drinks in the gorgeous lounge before moving into the dining room and finally, the club upstairs. The enchanting environment is dressed with velvet and silk and tranquil waterfalls and century-old wood and stones can be found here. An extensive collection of Buddha statues watches over every corner of TAO, including a unique reclining Buddha and TAO’s signature 20-foot Buddha that “floats” peacefully above an infinity pool complete with Japanese koi. Lounge and restaurant open from 5 pm nightly; club from 10 pm-5 am Th-Sa. At The Venetian, 702.388.8858

FOXTAIL BEACH CLUB A 43,000-square-foot oasis with 25 cabanas, two VIP cabanas, 30 day beds and floating lily pads, this retro-inspired club is bright and colorful and brings in the world’s most sought-after DJs. Signature cocktails and the menu of American classics are plentiful. SLS Las Vegas, 702.761.7619 SAPPHIRE BEACH CLUB Named as the “Best Day Club” and “Sexiest Pool Party” by local voters, Sapphire brings the party out-of-doors for a wild party in the sun. Mingle with hundreds of sexy Sapphire girls, and don’t forget to call for limo service to take you to and from the party.

THE GUIDE

On-The-Go Beauty

Customized Colors

Known for its simple mantra of “No cuts. No color. Just blowouts,” Drybar opens up shop in Las Vegas with its largest location in the country (its 63rd); at almost 3,000 square feet and with 20 styling chairs, it’ll have you on your way to fabulous in no time flat. Of course, a boutique in Vegas means special, over-the-top amenities, and Drybar obliges with a full cocktail bar, a photo booth and DJ.

Q: What’s your favorite spot for a Las Vegas photo opp?

A: The Neon Museum. It has the original neon signs from The Stardust, the Sahara Hotel, the Silver Slipper... and that’s just the start! The museum is a throwback to vintage Las Vegas with more than 200 neon signs from old hotels. It’s a very cool spot.

Q: What’s your favorite hidden gem?

A: The Booze District, just 15 minutes away from The Strip. It houses our Las Vegas Distillery, a winery and three breweries.

With advance reservations you can create your own case of wine or barrel of whiskey.

The area is super fun for large groups, and a great option for people looking for a more casual atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the traditional Vegas scene.

Q: What’s your favorite place to celebrate a special occasion?

A: For a more intimate experience, I recommend that my guests celebrate at Rivea and Skyfall Lounge at Delano Las Vegas.

Both the restaurant and lounge sit at the 64th floor of Delano and offer the most spectacular views of the Strip.

Q: What’s your best Las Vegas tip?

A: Book early! Many guests think that they are able to get the best of the best by waiting until the last minute for discounts and deals. This is not usually the case. In most instances, especially holiday weekends, booking early can secure better pricing and availability.

Q: Describe your perfect evening out in Las Vegas.

A: I like experiencing more of the casual side of Las Vegas and my new favorite spot is Topgolf at MGM Grand. I have already spent multiple evenings there! Topgolf has it all—dining, sports, entertainment—and you don’t even have to be a golfer to enjoy the games! It’s definitely a fun, laid-back spot to hang out with a group of friends.

Las Vegas Your Way

History Buffs

Late Nights

Relaxation Seekers

Las Vegas museums are as entertaining as the Strip's best shows! Pay homage to iconic Vegas at the (1) Neon Museum, where you'll discover historic signs from beloved properties such as the Stardust, Sahara and Riviera.

You can also see the original, iconic pirate sign from Treasure Island! Go back to atomicera Nevada at the (2) National Atomic Testing Museum, which showcases merchandise and photos (such as Miss Atom Bomb), as well as offers simulations of an atomic blast. And you'll find a wealth of information about the good guys—and the bad—at the (3) Mob Museum; the interactive displays will keep you busy for hours. You can get up-close and personal with briefcase flasks, jewelry, guns, brass knuckles and so much more—be sure to allow plenty of time.

Las Vegas nightclubs are bigger and better than ever before and have truly become a lavish experience. A night at (1) Intrigue at Wynn, for example, makes for a jaw-dropping experience; it's got a never-before-seen light and sound design, a glass-enclosed patio with views of the dramatic waterfall and a club-within-a club that's a social-media free zone. At the luxurious new (2) Jewel at Aria, celebs from Jamie Foxx to Kevin Hart to the Chainsmokers have already made the Strip's newest club one of their favorites. And barely a year old, (3) Omnia at Caesars Palace is a true clubber's paradise—the mammoth 75,000-square-foot space houses an ultra lounge, a mezzanine reminscent of an opera house and a stunning rooftop garden with panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip.

When Las Vegas runs you ragged, we've got the perfect remedy! Say hello to Sundays at (1) Palazzo's Azure pool, where you can undertake a 50-minute basic yoga session, then indulge in a mimosa—Azure's been called a "country club meets day club." When you're downtown, don't miss one of the most luxurious options around—a (2) 24-carat gold treatment at the Golden Nugget Spa. Slip into facial nirvana at this newly renovated spa.

Temps getting you down? Don't worry, you can stay as cool as an icicle if you desire—visit the (3) Arctic Ice Room at Qua at Caesars Palace. This is an amenity for the summer if there ever was one! Be one with the snow that falls gently from the ceiling; you can also keep your chill with a cold plunge in the Roman baths—get the maximum impact!
