Las Vegas Attractions, Madame Tussauds Interactive Wax Attraction

September 29th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Madame Tussauds Las Vegas
Madame Tussauds is usually more associated with London, England, but this one is in Las Vegas, and every bit as good as its British counterpart. The attraction is open daily from 10am to 11pm. It can be found inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino, which can be found at the intersection of the Strip and Spring Mountain Road.

There are more than 100 delicately designed replicas of the famous and fabulous in the world of film TV, sports and music. Lifelike is a word you will get used to as every model is just that. Another sighting of Elvis? You’ll think so when you see his wax model. It’s that good!

Spirit of America is one of the themed exhibits that is likely to interest everyone. It honors Americans who have made a real difference to the country’s past. Here you will find staunch patriots such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy and others. Las Vegas entertainers from yesteryear are also featured, such as the inimitable Liberace, Frank Sinatra, Siegfried & Roy, and Wayne Newton.

Did I mention Elvis earlier? I did, and The King In Concert exhibition really does appear to bring him back again. Fans can be photographed shaking hands with him, and believe me, it really does look genuine, No wonder they claim sightings of Elvis when it gets this real.

The Madame Tussauds display is interactive in many areas. Perhaps the best one, for the ladies at least, is the Marry Clooney exhibition. Here they can don a wedding dress, veil, bouquet – the lot – and stand next to George Clooney, or his wax double to be more accurate, and have their picture taken. The wax model doesn’t seem to mind in the least.

Las Vegas, The City of Glimmering, Shimmering Lights

September 28th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Las Vegas is a city of dreams. People arrive with hopes of making a fortune, but all too often leave disappointed. The rich go there to show off their wealth and the ordinary go there to see the rich and famous. There’s something for everyone, whether on the extravagant side of things, or on the more modest level.

The Strip in Las Vegas is one of the most famous streets in the USA. It’s where most of the casinos and hotels are. Most of the famous shows happen on the Strip, tours start from it, or are part of it, and luxury oozes from its multi-billion dollar hotels.

This is a town for the playboy, or the man who thinks he is. This is where women rule, if they have the money to make it happen, and many do. This is Las Vegas.

Las Vegas doesn’t believe much in energy saving. The lights that sparkle, flash and shake on every hotel and casino consume a tremendous amount of electricity. Las Vegas can afford it though. It can’t not afford it. This is Sin City.

Dozens of famous entertainers have worked in Las Vegas. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior and others made it their own. Later, Elvis shook his sequined suits all over it, even immortalizing the city in song; “Viva Las Vegas.” It probably will too.

Las Vegas Tours, Valley Of Fire Buggy Tour

September 27th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

The Valley Of Fire Buggy Tour starts when they pick you up from your Las Vegas hotel and take you in an air-conditioned mini-coach to the Valley of Fire for a dune buggy ride.

It starts properly with a safety lesson – pay attention – it’s important. Then you’re free to jump about one of the dune buggies. They come in one-seat, two-seat, or four-seat versions. All the safety equipment that you’ll need is supplied.

Just imagine, cruising through trails suitable for the novice, or for the expert, whichever you feel comfortable with. You might meet some of the local wildlife like big horn sheep, for example, but they won’t bother you.

The Valley of Fire is so called because of its red sand. That’s not reddish sand, but bright red sand. You’ll be kicking up a sand storm with your buggie ride, a red sand storm too. And if you find time, maybe you’ll glance around from time to time to appreciate the world famous rock formations around you.

Did some of the scenery look vaguely familiar? Well, if you watched the early Star Trek episodes you will have seen the Valley of Fire before, for they filmed some of the early stuff right there.

When your time is up after two hours, you’ll break for lunch before being whisked back to Las Vegas and your hotel. But you won’t forget the Valley Of Fire Buggy Tour in a hurry. It’s definitely one of the most memorable of the Las Vegas tours.

Las Vegas Shows – Thunder From Down Under

September 26th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Thunder From Down Under
Australia’s surprisingly credible answer to the Chippendale Dancers, an all-male revue that is proving to be just about as popular as the better known group, the Thunder From Down Under. They can be seen at the Thunder Theater at the Excalibur, 9pm Sunday to Thursday, and 9pm as well as 11pm, Friday and Saturday.

This is one of the Las Vegas Shows aimed squarely at women. These hunky Aussie men go above and beyond to entertain. They tease, tantalize and entertain in ways that most women have never imagined. Their audience, mainly women of course, are whipped up into a ferocious frenzy of excitement.

This is a show that has been around for 14 years. They have managed in that time to become the most successful male revue worldwide. After touring the globe, they settled in Las Vegas, opening at the Frontier. Soon aftre three other male revues opened in Las Vegas, all hoping to cash in on the Australian success story. They didn’t. But the Thunder From Down Under went from strength to strength, and still do.

The show at the Thunder Theater at the Excalibur lasts 75 glorious minutes. They bound across the stage displaying male flesh that your grandmother would blush at. This is the ultimate girl’s night out. The ultimate female fantasy, and the Thunder From Down Under know it too. This is a show not to be missed and not just for the women either.

Zeffirino Ristorante at the Venetian, One Of The Best Las Vegas Restaurants

September 25th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Zeffirino Belloni started out on his career in 1939 in Genova in Italy by opening a family restaurant there. His son also discovered that he had a flair for food preparation, and today it is Gian Paolo Belloni and his family who have restaurants in Italy, China, Spain and the USA.

In Las Vegas they run the Zeffirino Ristorante at the Venetian, which they opened in 1999. Many swear that being there is as close as being in Venice as it’s possible to be without actually being there. It is that good. The decór is stylish, magnificant and elegant. The handcrafted bar standing 40 feet high was imported from Italy. This where you can enjoy a cocktail before the main event.

Start with a perfect wine from the cellar that holds in excess of 600 different selections. They are not all Italian wines. The Zeffirino Ristorante takes its wines from all over the world, from some of the finest vineyards to be found anywhere. And then there’s the food. Here’s what Venetian.com has to say:

“Zeffirino imports many of its ingredients, chefs and staff from Italy and bakes its breads and decadent desserts on premises. Luciano Pavorotti, Frank Sinatra and Sugar Ray Leonard are amongst many who have chosen Zeffirino. Dine with us for lunch and dinner or consider Zerririno’s lavish Sunday brunch buffet. From the family that made pesto world famous – Zeffirino is truly a culinary treat not to be missed.”

The Zeffirino Ristorante at the Venetian has won many awards for its cuisine. This includes an Escoffier Award; Gian Paolo Belloni is the only non-French chef who has had the honor to receive this award – an ultimate honor for culinary skills. He has also been awarded the European Golden Medal in recognition of his exceptional talent. The Zeffirino Ristorante at the Venetian is beyond doubt an experience that is nit to be missed.

Las Vegas Hotels – The Westin Casuarina Hotel, Casino And Spa

September 24th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

The Westin Casuarina Hotel, Casino and Spa is located on East Flamingo Road, away from the Strip and all that hustle and bustle, to a more relaxing part of town. They’re not kidding when they say, “At Westin, our goal is that you leave feeling better than when you arrived.”

The Westin Casuarina Hotel is a non smoking establishment in most of its indoor spaces. Only the casino area, the adjoining lounge and the outdoor pool is exempt. They have 826 rooms, all non smoking, and guests will be charded an extra cleaning fee if they do smoke in their room.

This is a quiet hotel. It’s a slow hotel too. It’s where people come to unwind after the stress of the Strip, the cacophony of the casinos, or the cresendo of the attractions. This is a place to unwind. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun at the Westin. Far from it. But at the Westin your fun is actually more fun, for it means more.

If you want to really chill out, try the Hibiscus Spa. This is the height of luxury living. Enjoy it. There’s a lack of glitz and glamour at the Westin, but it appears all the more otherworldly as a result. This is where you can unwind and just drift. This is the Westin Casuarina Hotel.
