Superb Snacks

Swank Throwback

We love the creativity found at Harvest; chef Roy Ellamar takes a grand approach to farmto-table, as well as seasonal, cuisine with a menu of approachable New American dishes. Our favorite thing here is the roving snack wagon, from which diners can try delectable bites of items special to that evening. Now, snack wagon takeovers let you sample not only Ellamar’s dishes, but delights from Ellamar’s friends throughout MGM Resorts’ properties. These events take place once a month; on September 14, executive chef Brad Skougard showcases creations from Harvest’s sister property, Todd English’s Olives. It’s a great opportunity to mingle with the chefs and be adventurous! Bellagio, 702.693.8865

THE GUIDE

Precious in Platinum

Royal Lineage

The little light-blue box is instantly recognizable the world over. In addition to such recognition, the Tiffany Setting has been an innovator since its debut in 1886—it became the first ring design to lift the diamond off the band, maximizing the stone’s natural radiance. Before this, diamond rings were set in bezels, but Charles Lewis Tiffany’s design highlighted the beauty of brilliant-cut diamonds. The setting includes six platinum prongs; the milestone in jewelry design made Tiffany & Co. the world’s premier jeweler for diamond engagement rings. Help celebrate its 130th anniversary with a store visit at the Bellagio, Forum Shops at Caesars, Fashion Show and The Shops at Crystals.

It began with a bottle of Royal English Leather commissioned by King George III—since 1760, the House of Creed has produced handcrafted, fine fragrances for royal and discerning patrons. Among its famous clientele were John F. Kennedy and Winston Churchill. Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.366.0574

Q: What’s your favorite spot for a Las Vegas photo opp? A: The main atrium of Wynn Las Vegas provides an extremely beautiful and unique spot for photos. Canopied in lush plant life, twinkling lights and Preston Baily flower sculptures such as a hot-air balloon and working carousel, there is no other place like it. For an iconic photo opp, visitors love The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign. Q: What’s your favorite Las Vegas hidden gem? A: Wynn is home to an extensive art collection featured throughout its public areas. Mr. Wynn has always been an avid art collector and loves to showcase his pieces for everyone to enjoy. The “Gallery of Arts” brochure is available at the Concierge desk and has a map highlighting the locations and information of each piece in his collection. Q: What has been your most unusual request as a concierge? A: A guest was in a cabana and it was her boyfriend’s birthday. She requested seven sombreros, seven maracas, colorful balloons and a birthday cake. I sent a courier to pick up their items and they had a fun party at the Wynn pool. Q: What is your best Las Vegas tip? A: Call your Concierge before you leave home. Let us help make your vacation stressfree, exciting and memorable. Q: Who is your favorite Las Vegas celebrity chef? A: While perhaps not a celebrity in the typical sense, my favorite chef on the Strip is the executive chef of Allegro at Wynn, Enzo Febbraro. Not only does his classic Italian cooking feature big flavors, but he has a big personality to match.

THE GUIDE

Destination Course

Paradise Found

With a total of 4,000 trees that line its fairways and out-of-play areas accentuated with Augusta white sand, it’s no wonder that Bali Hai Golf Club is one of the top destination course tracks in the country. The lush surroundings also offer seven acres of opulent water features and 100,000 Balinese tropical plants. The par-71 course, designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley in 2000, measures 7,002 yards from the tips and affords spectacular views of Las Vegas Strip. Bali Hai’s unique layout includes teasers like #3, a 468-yard par-4 with a creek running the entire right-side, balanced with a bunker on the left; discover why it’s called “shipwreck.” 5160 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 888.427.6678

From its rolling greens to its white-sand bunkers and rushing streams, the 18-hole Wynn Golf Club was designed by Tom Fazio and Steve Wynn. The par-70 course features contoured fairways dotted with 50-year-old trees; multiple streams and water features flow throughout. You may forget you’re in Las Vegas! Wynn Las Vegas, 702.770.4653

Get Your Charge on the Monorail

Drink and Play

The Las Vegas September entertainment calendar features concerts, comedians and events galore. Make it a quick trip to your destination by using the Las Vegas Monorail; it gets you above the Strip traffic, and you won’t have to pay any parking garage fees. Plus, the Monorail is your most eco-friendly option in town; it carries more than five million passengers annually and, because of that, eliminates more than 23 million vehicle miles traveled on our roadways. And now, you can charge up your mobile device while you’re on the go with MobileQubes, available at every Monorail station; when you’re done, simply return to any kiosk. 866.466.6672

[WHERE INSIDE]

Las Vegas Your Way

Romantics

Nature Lovers

Sports Geeks

There are as many ways to be romantic in Las Vegas as there are visitors. Spice up the evening with the naughtiness that unfolds in Cirque du Soleil's (1) Zumanity, which introduces you to all types of couples and is sassy and seductive, at New York-New York. Or, get up early and explore the city and its surrounding areas on the earliest form of flight, the hot air balloon, through (2) Vegas Balloon Rides; pick up a glass and make a Champagne toast to your romance. And, a romantic visit to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without dinner at Paris Las Vegas' (3) Eiffel Tower Restaurant; you'll get caught up in Vegas' own lights, 11 stories above the Las Vegas Strip. It's tops for proposals; you can even surprise your intended with a ring presented atop a soufflé. Such decadence is mandatory!

Find your Zen zone and be one with nature at Las Vegas' beautiful recreation areas. Northwest of town lies (1) Mount Charleston, home to campgrounds, a lodge, hiking trails and many places to spread out a picnic. On the west side of Las Vegas, (2) Red Rock National Conservation Area beckons; explore myriad hiking trails, where you can find a host of wildlife in the early-morning hours. Before you leave, see if you can seek out Mojave Max, Nevada's spokestortoise. Nevada's oldest and largest state park, the (3) Valley of Fire is a glorious spot for those who enjoy unusual rock formations and learning about the history of the area, which can be seen in the numerous petroglyphs on the rock walls. You're in for nature nirvana at any of these three enchanting spots.

Don't miss a second of the action at these happenin' sports-viewing spots. At 30,000 square feet, Westgate’s (1) Superbook is the largest in the world with more than 350 seats, 28 screens and a massive 15’ x 20’ screen— there are more than 60 viewing monitors in all. Fine game-day cuisine, luxury boxes and more than 100 TVs await at (2) Lagasse's Stadium at the Palazzo. We love Emeril Lagasse's take on the sports bar & grill that goes beyond your wildest expectations. And our newest favorite hangout is the (3) MonteCristo Cigar Bar & Lounge at Caesars Palace, a man-cave if we've ever seen one—the lounge serves up premium whiskeys, rare spirits and craft beers you can enjoy while lighting up a stogie and watching the game on an oversized video wall.
