VEGAS: THE HOT TICKETS

Vegas: The Hot Tickets
The Hottest Tickets in Town

Gambling has never been the sole attraction in Las Vegas. In the 1950s, marquee names like Elvis Presley, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra were entertaining audiences at the Sands, the Tropicana and Caesars Palace. By 1960, the infamous Rat Pack had begun performing at the Sands, validating Las Vegas as an entertainment mecca. Today more people go to see more shows in Vegas than in any other city in the world.

Make a Splash
Las Vegas is in the middle of a vast desert, which means it gets hot -- really hot. The best places to beat the heat are the numerous lavish pools located along the Strip. Not only can you enjoy swim-up bars, waiter service and private cabanas -- Vegas throws the hottest pool parties in the world.

The Hard Rock Hotel started the trend in 2004 with Rehab, its Sunday pool party. Others quickly followed suit, and today the hottest parties can be found at The Venetian's Tao Beach, Mandalay Bay's Moorea Beach Club and The Palms Pool. Tao Beach lights up the Strip on Saturday nights with a pool light show. Take it all off at Moorea Beach, where European-style sunbathing is encouraged and reserve a poolside Bungalow at The Palms to keep the party going day and night.

Bare at The Mirage is the ultimate in poolside pampering and VIP service. DJs spin music as guests enjoy premier mixed drinks and, you guessed it, European-style sunbathing. Vegas pools replace the sensual darkness of their clubs with the welcoming glow of the midday sun, creating the newest trend in entertainment -- "daylife" -- nightlife's sunny cousin.

Dance Till Dawn
While Vegas may have created "daylife," it's when the sun goes down that things really heat up. Over the years, the Vegas nightclub has evolved to include outrageous themes, opulent décor and design, high-end bottle service and roped-off VIP rooms. These multimillion dollar venues have rewritten the rules of nightlife.

Tao at The Venetian is one of the hottest nightclubs in the country. The DJ pumps music through the club's two dance rooms and the 40-foot outdoor terrace with stunning views. Bellagio's The Bank nightclub offers the most refined bottle service in Las Vegas. Each table receives a personal service team, led by a cocktail server -- adorned in an elegant gold cocktail dress -- who is at your beck and call.

To keep it old school, visit the Playboy Club at The Palms for a 21st-century twist on the classic Playboy Clubs of the '60s and '70s.

Cirque du Soleil
In 1989, Steve Wynn and Cirque du Soleil joined forces to offer one of the most popular and profitable shows in the world. With the opening of Mystère, Cirque du Soleil found a permanent home in Las Vegas. Las Vegas visitors are spellbound by the powerful athleticism, high-energy acrobatics, inspiring imagery and beautiful music that have become Cirque du Soleil's hallmarks. Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas now include O, Ka, Zumanity, and the Beatles' LOVE.

Live Action
Since the 1980s, Las Vegas has been known as the "Boxing Capital of the World," hosting some of the best fights in boxing history including: Hagler vs. Hearns, Leonard vs. Hearns, Bowe vs. Holyfield I and Tyson vs. Berbick. Ringside seats to these big fights have been known to go for tens of thousands of dollars.

Today, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has almost supplanted boxing fights in Vegas. Check with your concierge to see if you'll be sitting ringside during your trip to Vegas.

You Can Take the Vegas out of Texas
One of the hottest clubs in Las Vegas offers a heaping dose of Southern hospitality. Stoney's Rockin Country is located right on the Strip and features line-dancing, live bands and a mechanical bull. It's a country music lover's paradise -- so remember to pack your cowboy boots.

The Headliners
Since the 1950s, top entertainers headlining at major casinos have been a big part of the Las Vegas draw -- and a great part of the city's history. In 2003, Celine Dion revamped the headlining scene with a five-year run at Caesars Palace. "A New Day" offered Dion fans the opportunity to see the performer's stylized production 5 nights a week in a state-of-the-art theatre. Performers now calling Vegas home include Elton John, Bette Midler and Cher.

Las Vegas guests can also take in the magic of Penn & Teller and Broadway's "Mamma Mia!" and "The Jersey Boys."

EXTREME VEGAS

Extreme Vegas
Go All In

Gambling. All-night parties. Strip Clubs. These cultural vices are synonymous with Las Vegas. However, we dug a little deeper and uncovered new ways Sin City turns mundane events, like having a glass of wine or sharing a dessert, into extreme mind-blowing experiences.

Skydive Wedding
Skydive Las Vegas
Home of the shotgun wedding, Vegas is no stranger to quickie nuptials, but none are faster than the service offered at Skydive Las Vegas. Here, couples take the ultimate plunge from 3 miles up. After viewing a 30-minute training video, couples suit up, strap on a parachute and hit the tarmac on their way to happily ever after. Once reaching 15,000 feet in the air, rings are exchanged between some sweaty palms, then the newlyweds freefall into marital bliss.

Aureole's Wine Tower
Mandalay Bay
At Mandalay Bay's Aureole, diners can choose from the restaurant's 9,865 bottles of wine housed in a skyscraper-like wine tower. Each glass is delivered by daredevil waitresses who deftly maneuver in a high-tech, mission impossible-style harness system. These wine angels can zip a pinot noir or sparkling white into your hand in less than 10 seconds.

The Pleasure Pit
Planet Hollywood
Sin City is home to countless strip clubs and casinos, and nowhere do these 2 vices come together more devilishly than at Planet Hollywood's The Pleasure Pit. This naughty and seriously addictive casino is home to Vegas' hottest dealers -- each and every card thrower here is a former or current model scantily clad in revealing lingerie. It's also the only casino on the Strip with four stripper poles on the casino floor -- a nice distraction during a losing a streak.

Thrill Rides
The Stratosphere
Take the elevator 100 stories above the Strip at The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino to experience 3 of the highest, most terrifying thrill rides in the world. On the X-Scream, your rollercoaster car dangles 29 feet off the building's edge and more than 900 feet in the air. The Insanity is an 80,000-pound steel and titanium centripetal spin machine that tests even the strongest stomachs. It flies higher than the X-Scream and simulates the same amount of force astronauts feels when a space shuttle lifts off.

The Stratosphere's most extreme thrill ride is the Big Shot, a catapult-like ride that explodes 160 feet at 45 miles per hour. The ride takes about 2 and a 1/2 seconds and creates four Gs of force on the way up -- at the top, you're over 1,000 feet above the Vegas Strip.

The Four by Four by Two
RM Seafood
The desert's most sinful dessert is served exclusively at RM Seafood and it's called the Four by Four by Two. The dish is 4 rows by 4 rows of seriously surprising ice cream flavors meant to be shared by 2 people. Out of the 16 scoops, no 2 flavors are alike -- and we guarantee they aren't anything you've ever tasted before. Made completely from scratch, the dessert features flavors like black pepper with balsamic vinegar, carrot cheesecake, foie gras, rum and coke, celery lime and black truffle just to name a few.

The Neon Museum
In a neon city that constantly reinvents itself, there's only one place to go to see the signs of Las Vegas' past. The Neon Museum is a 3-acre light-filled graveyard where 160 years of vintage Vegas signs cast light on Sin City's historic past. Among the most famous are the Silver Slipper and the Stardust Casino sign. The slipper stands 15 feet tall and weighs over 2 tons and once sat atop the Silver Slipper Gambling Hall, a favorite haunt of Frank Sinatra. After its debut in 1968, the Stardust sign was the largest sign in the world for 10 years.

Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas is a 5-block pedestrian walkway showcasing 10 fully refurbished classic signs. It's the number one tourist destination in Las Vegas, welcoming almost 19 million people a year.

Carnival Buffet
Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino
The Rio is home to Vegas' biggest buffet. The food choices stretch out on tables measuring over 340 feet long and features over 400 different kinds of food including pizza, sushi and the popular Texas-sized prime rib. The buffet is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and allows patrons to stay as long as they want and eat as much as their stomachs will hold.

Minus 5
Mandalay Bay
Minus 5 is Las Vegas' coolest bar -- literally. Inside the bar, everything is made entirely of ice and temperatures are kept at a constant negative 5 degrees Celsius, or 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Once inside, each guest gets outfitted in insulated parkas, boots and gloves -- a requirement for entry. The gloves are especially handy when sipping cocktails served in glasses made entirely of ice. The temps are so frigid that patrons are strongly urged to spend only 30 minutes inside the bar at a time at which point they should step back out into the desert heat to warm up.

SEXY CASINO BARS LAS VEGAS

Sexy Casino Bars
Visit Vegas's Top Casino Center Bars

When it comes to keeping nightlife cool, the velvet rope has earned its place, and in Las Vegas' ever-evolving party scene, there's no shortage of strategically slung boundaries meant to isolate the A-listers from the rest of us plebian partiers.

But after a losing night on the tables and a greasy binge at a sub-par buffet somewhere on the Strip, who really needs to add ego-bruising to the mix with an in-your-face ousting at the velvet rope?

Enter the casino center bar -- those open-to-the-gambling-floor bastions of drinking and dancing found in nearly every Las Vegas casino, where cover charges, snooty doormen and paparazzi-preening patrons are refreshingly out of the equation.

Paris Hilton and her entourage might not be making an appearance anytime soon at these egalitarian watering holes (and is that really such a bad thing?), but casino center bars are getting more blinged out by the minute in Vegas.

Despite easy access to the gambling floor, there's usually a threshold of sorts and a décor change that paints a distinct mood inside the center bar, creating an oasis from the perpetually chattering slot machines and clicking roulette wheels just outside.

And if the steady, 'round-the-clock crowds of hotel guests, gamblers and general Vegas gawkers flowing off the casino floor and into center bars at spots like Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino and MGM Grand are any indication, it's a trend that's here to stay.

Here are some of the hottest casino center bars to hit while cruising the Strip.

eyecandy sound lounge & bar
Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino
Opened in fall 2007, eyecandy ups the party ante at Mandalay Bay. In the center of the casino floor, the lounge-style digs feature interactive table technology where you doodle with your digits on a touch screen to send flirtatious messages to people in other pods, the semi-private circular confines that center on the tables. Messages from other partiers pop up on your table's screen as live-action scenes are projected, lending a voyeuristic element to the fun. If you're just up for cocktails without the interactive element, snag a seat at the sleek tear-shaped bar and scope the action on the dance floor, where LED tiles get illuminated by a frenzy of dancing feet.

Flight
Luxor
Let the L.A. uber-beautiful set preen their feathers at LAX -- Luxor's posh nightclub -- and head to Flight on the casino floor instead for a more laid-back layover between roulette rounds. The same Los Angeles designer behind JET's sleek decor fitted out Flight with Caribbean-blue banquettes and chocolate-colored lounges that positively demand canoodling. The good news is you can still get your game on here, too, should your wallet desire, with intimate blackjack tables designed for couples and friends built into the scenery. Open 24 hours, the bar's been a nonstop party since it first opened in July 2007.

Liquidity
Luxor
The pyramid may dominate the casino's façade, but Luxor has long been in the process of phasing out its interior Egyptian touches in favor of a more sophisticated décor scheme. Open all night, Liquidity upped the center bar scene's bling factor when it popped up at Luxor in December 2007 in place of a former high-limit gambling area. Smack dab on the casino floor, the bar employs water in a big way as part of an over-the-top design. Using fiber optics, images are projected onto a massive water wall awash with the spray of 4,000 nozzles that pulsate in tune to the music -- if you think looking into a campfire is mesmerizing, be prepared to nearly hallucinate at this effect.

Heart Bar
Planet Hollywood
When Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino opened on the Strip in the former location of Aladdin in April 2007, it was only natural that an alluring center bar be included in the new design. Heart Bar's leather-clad go-go dancers that double as cocktail waitresses, a house-of-mirrors design ethic and the lounge's overall moody red glow ensure that things stay edgy 24 hours a day. There's no official dance floor, but the tabletops are hardly off limits.
Centrifuge
MGM Grand
The spot to kick off or wind down your evening at MGM Grand is inside this vortex of uninhibited imbibing that revolves under a psychedelic sculpture spiraling over the bar. The huge circular bar is the heart of things at Centrifuge, and people-watching doesn't get any better than on a Friday or Saturday night when the pre-clubbing crowds bound for MGM nightclub's Studio 54 and Tabu pop in for aperitifs. Opt for one of the bar's specialty fruit-infused bourbons or tequilas to start your night with a bang.

ADULTS ONLY LAS VEGAS

Adults Only
It's Not Called the Strip For Nothing

No longer a town dedicated solely to gambling, Las Vegas is home to some of the biggest names in restaurants, hotels, designers and entertainers. You may be under the impression that Vegas has repented its sinful ways -- but you'd be mistaken. There are now more late-night adult shows than ever. Grab your I.D. and a wad of ones, this is Vegas for adults only.

Crazy Horse Paris
MGM Grand
The original female revue, this show is direct from the infamous Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris. Billed as a celebration of the beauty and sensuality of women, the show strives to portray the female form in an artful and sensuous way. Using suggestive choreography, stunning light displays and arousing films, most would say the show succeeds. After spending 51 years in Paris, Crazy Horse is finally electrifying audiences on the Vegas Strip.

Fantasy
The Luxor
Fantasy is a playful and feminine show about seductive secrets and sexual desires. A combination musical and comedy, the show features live singing, impressions and avant-garde choreography. It entertains as much as it excites -- the perfect revue for a first-timer.

Showgirls
Rio Hotel and Casino
Showgirls provides a glimpse into the exotic life of Vegas showgirls. A topless revue featuring 12 dancers performing tributes to Mae West, Dolly Parton, Madonna, Carmen Miranda and Britney Spears. International recording artist Sunny will guide you through the numbers with a bit of stand-up. This show is iconic Vegas -- humor, glitz, headdresses, big musical numbers and, of course, a little T&A.

Skintight
Harrah's
If you're looking for a late-night show with a little more rock 'n' roll, check out Skintight at Harrah's. Lead dancer Shannon O'Keefe and lead singer Darryl Ross from the reality series "Vegas Showgirls: Nearly Famous" have found their way to the Vegas stage in a sexy and fun-loving show. Former Miss Nude World, Vanna Lance is the featured performer, but don't worry ladies, there are male dancers, as well.

Crazy Girls
The Riviera Hotel and Casino
Crazy Girls bills itself as Las Vegas' sexiest topless revue -- with girls, nudity and dancing, it hits the revue trifecta. It holds the distinction of being the longest-running topless revue, as well. If you want to see the original Vegas Strip revue, than this is the ticket for you.

Thunder From Down Under
The Excalibur
Evening out the playing field a bit is Australia's Thunder From Down Under, an all-male review at The Excalibur. With numbers inspired by "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "300" the show has been a success since opening in 2001. If you're in Vegas for a ladies' weekend or bachelorette celebration, Thunder From Down Under is your best bet for a little late-night naughty entertainment.

Shadow: A Bar
Caesars Palace
If you prefer your entertainment to leave a little to the imagination, then there's no better place to be than Shadow at Caesars Palace. Enjoy top-shelf cocktails in a truly sensual surrounding. Here provocative shadow dancers create a sexy vibe that's a little more restrained than some of the other revues. We're not saying you should take your mom -- but definitely a fun, sexy place for a date.

Gentlemen's Clubs
If large musical numbers aren't your style, there's always the classic gentlemen's club -- and Vegas has those in spades. Déjà vu Showgirls, Club Paradise and The Penthouse Club are Vegas institutions without all the glitz and choreography.
