Vegas Travel
By Ken Marlborough

Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada. The city has a reputation for being one of the wildest places on the planet, and, for this reason, it is also known as “Sin City.” Las Vegas is a very popular tourist city because of its legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages at any time, and so on.

It was in the beginning of the nineteenth century (1905) that Las Vegas was established, and it formally became a city in 1911. In the early 1900s, the city became famous as a railroad town. During the twentieth century, Las Vegas evolved into one of the largest cities in the country. The expansion of the railroads and the building of the Hoover Dam infused new life into Las Vegas. The completion of the Hoover Dam resulted in federal dollars being converted to tourist dollars. Las Vegas has some wonderful neighborhoods, such as Green Valley, Summerlin, Henderson, Red Rock, Anthem, and Southern Highlands.

The city takes pride in some of its famous places, which a tourist must include in his itinerary. One of these is the main university of Southern Nevada, The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which came into being in 1957. The university has its main campus in North Las Vegas. The city’s popular museums include the Guinness World of Records Museum; Liberace Museum, Las Vegas Art Museum; Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, which demonstrates Nevada’s history; and Las Vegas Natural History Museum, which displays wildlife and dinosaur exhibits.

Las Vegas is also a traditional city that provides many privileges for senior citizens. Tourists love to travel to Las Vegas for its late night bars and clubs, to watch the best shows, to gamble in the best casinos, and to enjoy themselves in its bachelor-party strip clubs. About 36 million people visit Las Vegas every year, and some even try to settle down permanently. The fact is that Las Vegas leaves a lasting impression on people’s attitudes. For many families in the world, Las Vegas is the favored destination. Thus, amazing Las Vegas, which offers complete satisfaction, is one of the best tourist destinations in the world.

Top 10 Las Vegas Hotels

Posted by:  //  Category: Las Vegas Hotels

Wynn Las Vegas

wynn

This is the newest luxury hotel to hit The Strip. Steve Wynn has done it again, only this time even more elegantly and luxurious, with original works of art by Van Gogh & Picasso and such upscale boutiques as Chanel and Louis Vuitton. This gleaming bronze tower even has its own Tom Fazio-designed golf course. The oversized rooms are contemporary and very stylish, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, flat screen TV’s and large marble baths.

Four Seasons, Las Vegas

four_seasons_las_vegas

The Four-Seasons is a one-of-a-kind experience in Vegas, far removed for the hustle and bustle of the Strip, yet only an elevator ride away. This gorgeous, elegant hotel is actually on the 35-39 floors of the Mandalay Bay Resort, yet this “hotel within a hotel” is surprisingly separate and offers incredible views in a non-gaming environment. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated.

The Bellagio Hotel

bellagio

This Mediterranean Villa-style hotel has long been admired as a place of beauty and elegance. From the moment you enter the exquisite lobby, with its glass sculpture masterpiece soaring above you, to its spectacular botanical gardens, you know that you have arrived to a luxurious environment of elegance, opulence, relaxation, and excitement.

Skylofts at MGM Grand

mgm_sky_lofts

Skylofts is a luxury Boutique Hotel that recently opened, located on the top two floors of the MGM Grand. It was created to be a private sanctuary, with amazing views and the utmost in luxury and service. The units are one-, two-, and three-bedroom “loft-style” units, featuring ultra-contemporary furnishings and 2-story windows. The incredible bath has an infinity-edge tub and a waterfall shower.

The hotel at Mandalay Bay

mandalay_bay_resort

The hotel is a newer, stand-alone tower at the Mandalay Bay Resort. This cosmopolitan and sophisticated hotel has a chic, understated feel about it. The “suite-style” rooms are huge, over 750sf, with a separate sleeping area, modern furnishings, marble & granite baths and plasma TV’s. Their restaurant and swanky lounge “Mix” is situated high atop the hotel and a definite hotspot.

The Venetian Hotel

venetian

The Venetian Resort is a tribute to Italian opulence, with its polished marble floors, domed ceilings, roman columns and various statues throughout. The rooms are spacious and have marble baths. You can spend your entire trip here, trying out the various different gourmet restaurants, such as Lutece and Postrio, each night, then relax in the Canyon Club spa/gym during the day.

Caesars Palace

caesars

Caesars Palace has played host to celebrities and high-rollers since its opening in 1966. Since then it has greatly expanded into four towers and two casinos. The world-class gaming casino is truly an experience, with its dark, elegant atmosphere. I have always loved the opulent Garden-of -the Gods, a 4 ½-acre pool area with roman statues, marble columns and private cabanas.

Mirage Hotel

mirage

The Mirage is a tropical paradise filled with colorful flowers and plants and home to an incredible erupting volcano show nightly. The lagoon-shaped pool is fantastic, complete with waterslides, waterfalls, lagoons and islands, all set among a variety of lush topical plants and trees. Take a peek at the White Tiger Habitat exhibit, and for a small charge you can visit the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat.

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

mandalay_bay_resort1

This Parisian-themed hotel features Paris landmarks, storefronts and even the Eiffel Tower. Outside you can dive into their amazing 11-acre tropical sand beach, complete with waves, or into one of their 3 outdoor pools. There is a fabulous spa and the Shark Reef aquarium. At night you can dine at one of the many restaurants, including the highly acclaimed “3950″ or “Mix” atop THEhotel Tower.

Paris Las Vegas

Driving down the Strip, you can’t miss the Paris Las Vegas Hotel with its ½ scale replica of the Eiffel Tower outside. Visitors can take an elevator ride to the top for some fantastic views, or have French cuisine on the 11th floor. Inside the hotel features other famous Paris landmarks as well as a Parisian street scene, complete with roving Frenchmen and “outdoor” cafes.

Botero Steak at Encore Las Vegas

Posted by:  //  Category: Las Vegas Food

3319768819_fc686752c2_b1

Botero – named for the South American painter, sculptor, and artist Fernando Botero. Botero Steak has the artistic style of the artist with paintings on the walls and a tremendous sculpture of a rotund woman in the center of the restaurant. Botero’s signature curvatures are present in everything from the silverware to the menu, giving the restaurant a gastronomic design and feel. Immediately, diners realize this isn’t any ordinary steakhouse; Botero Steak is sleek, modern, and sophisticated, with a circular dining room that overlooks the Encore pools and integrates into XS Nightclub.

Helmed by Chef Mark LaRusso, Botero Steak emphasizes steak, with fresh seafood and appetizer offerings. For a tasty but light appetizer to the main dish, the restaurant offers tartare and crudo selections along with salads, soups, and other seafood appetizers. We recommend the Dungeness Crab Agnolotti, served with artichoke and a lemon emulsion sauce. Or, for a massive starter fit for a group, order the Shellfish Tower, an impressive spread of select oysters, gulf prawns, Maine lobster, and crab.

The entrees at Botero are more filling and equally delicious, with the main offering consisting of steak, served in your style of choice from peppersteak, chimichurri, and traditional. For a satisfying meal for two, try the Chateaubriand, a moist and perfectly cooked thick tenderloin cut that comes beautifully presented in a copper pot. For those wishing to dine on something different, however, Botero offers a few surf and turf entrees as well. The Olive Oil-Poached Halibut is a simple but delicious meal served with haricot verts, fingerling potatoes, and warm balsamic vinaigrette.

Many sides are available to accompany each generous entrée, including LaRusso’s signature tater tots, with its perfectly cooked crispy exterior and its well-seasoned interior. The truffle macaroni and cheese is also a popular side dish, a creamy delight that you may find yourself finishing long before your steak.

Botero Steak is set to become one of Las Vegas’ most popular steakhouses, with its fresh, modern artwork and hearty, satisfying dishes. One can also visit the chic XS Nightclub next door, several trendy and flavorsome nights out are sure to begin at Botero Steak.

Best Places to Eat in Las Vegas

Posted by:  //  Category: Las Vegas Food

kangaroo_steak

As for dining, Las Vegas has not always been known as the best. Dining has been completely revamped and can be compared to cities like New York and Los Angeles. In Las Vegas today, you can find some of the country’s most famous and skilled chefs like Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse.

Some of the types of food offerred in Las Vegas include Chinese (try Lillie’s Noodle House in the Golden Nugget), French (the famed Le Cirque at the Bellagio), Italian (locals enjoy Piero’s) or Japanese food and excellent celeb-spotting opportunities at Nobu in the Hard Rock Resort. Some of the best buffets to try, which are located right on the Strip include the elaborate Spice Market Buffet at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, the MGM Grand Buffet, Cravings Buffet at the Mirage, and Le Village Buffet at Paris Las Vegas.

Below, are some of the best Las Vegas Restuarants, Steakhouses and Buffets;

2. Burger Bar
3950 Las Vegas Blvd S, Mandalay Place, Las Vegas, NV 89119
702-632-9364
If you love all types of burgers, this is the place for you. Head to this casual eatery for the opportunity to craft a masterpiece in a bun. Choose from a wide selection of burgers, including those fashioned from Black Angus, turkey, vegetables, Colorado lamb, and even Kobe beef. Then smother your favorite with any combination of toppings you can think of.

A taste of the French countryside in the middle of the city! Copper pots and pottery adorn Pamplemousse’s otherwise bare walls, and exposed beams on the low ceilings exude casual charm. The daily menu is recited by the waitstaff, who also deliver crisp crudités, a large bowl of olives, and a basket of hard-boiled eggs to start. Follow up with Chilean sea bass tinged with soy and ginger, salmon and spinach in puff pastry, or a tomato and goat cheese tarte. Don’t be surprised to see Vegas headliners like Wayne Newton enjoying the extraordinary French country cuisine. The restaurant’s popularity is far-reaching!

Steak Houses;

702-414-3737
One of celebrity-chef Emeril Lagasse’s creations, this Big Easy-style steakhouse has received more than its fair share of positive publicity. Vaulted ceilings, a working petit grand piano, and French doors carry the New Orleans theme to the hilt. Meanwhile, a wine list that very nearly dwarfs the Las Vegas telephone directory lets diners know that “high living” is not taken lightly. House specialties are too many to list, but stalwarts include a fabulous NY strip, a bone-in rib-eye, and a brilliant porterhouse. The professional waitstaff, groomed to be both attentive and courteous, help to make this one truly unforgettable dining experience. Visit the website – http://www.venetian.com/Pages.aspx?id=852

Locals and tourists agree: This steakhouse is worth the trip to parts north. Friendly and personable, the waitstaff set the tone for the evening, imparting just the right note of familiarity before you tuck in to a 24-ounce rib-eye, mesquite-cooked and seared in garlic and butter (you might want to bring a friend along). Cheesy, bacon-wrapped shrimp and fried green tomatoes are also on offer. Devour the chocolate decadence cake, with its warm, liquid center, if you still have room for dessert. Prices are lower than along the Strip, too. Visit website – http://www.texasstation.com/dining/austins

3. Charlie Palmer Steak
3960 Las Vegas Blvd S, Four Seasons Hotel, Las Vegas, NV 89119 (Map)
702-632-5120
With its focus on excellent food and comfortable, relaxed dining, this steakhouse avoids the trendiness and forced novelty that characterizes some local establishments. After having a drink in the classy lounge, enjoy appetizers with a decidedly maritime leaning, like a fresh prawn cocktail or pan-seared scallops. Entrée steaks include a 22-ounce Kansas City rib-eye, an 11-ounce charcoal-grilled porterhouse, and an 18-ounce bone-in New York shell steak. Alternatives include stuffed lobster and fire-roasted chicken. And of course, there’s no better place to indulge in a slice of flourless chocolate cake or pistachio and raspberry tart than in Sin City! Visit website – http://www.charliepalmer.com

3400 Las Vegas Blvd S, Mirage Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Map)

4500 W Tropicana Ave, The Orleans Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV 89103 (Map)

Despite the name, this Orleans Hotel buffet serves a wide variety of cuisines, including traditional American, Mongolian, Chinese, Italian, and Mexican, as well as seafood and barbecue. All meals are served every day, but don’t miss Sunday brunch, a favorite with hotel guests. Specialties like eggs made-to-order, ribs, and a plethora of desserts satisfy customers and keep them coming back. Get there early to beat the crowds! Visit the website – http://www.orleanscasino.com/dining/french-market-buffet

3. Le Village Buffet
3655 Las Vegas Blvd S, Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV 89109
702-946-4966 · 702-967-4859
Zut alors! Le Village offers French comestibles that are a cut above the usual buffet fare, as well as heaping helpings of charming atmosphere and great service. Much of the food is made-to-order by chefs in stations designed to resemble petite provincial shops. Fresh crab legs, beef à la bourguignonne, and duck in Riesling wine are just a few of the specialties. Rotisserie and carved meats, a salad bar, and gourmet cheeses are also available. However, you must leave room for dessert – the crêpes draw rave reviews. Visit the website – http://www.parislasvegas.com/casinos/paris-las-vegas/restaurants-dining/le-village-buffet-detail.html

What Is “Offshore Gambling”?

Posted by:  //  Category: Uncategorized

4168_695_299_crop_27c9d1

Many gamblers have come across the term “Offshore Gambling”, but are not entirely sure what it means. A casino that deals with offshore gambling is one that basically operates outside the jurisdiction of a given country or it can be an online casino that has its servers in a country where online gambling is not prohibited. In short, then, it is a casino that operates outside the country of the player.

This form of gambling provides an easy and fun way to play all the games normally found at a land-based casino, but without the hassle of making the pilgrimage to Las Vegas. Online Vegas casinos are very safe, in that personal details are not required to be sent out and the payouts and odds are just as equal and fair as in a regular Vegas–style casino. Offshore gambling makes it a win-win situation.

Online vegas casinos are regulated by three organizations. These are OSGA (The Offshore Gaming Association), The IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and the Fidelity Trust Gaming Association (FTGA), which is a smaller IGC in effect, in that it charges lower membership fees.

OSGA and Offshore Gambling
The OSGA is an independent “watchdog” agency that monitors the Off Shore Sports Gaming Industry in an effort to provide the public an avenue to find reputable companies to wager with. It aims to protect the rights of consumers and they charge no membership fees.

The agency is a professional non-biased third party organization that gives objective opinions, based on your feedback, independent research, phone calls, tips and inside news.

For OSGA they resolved to keeping the philosophy that there are safe places for sports gambling. Because of the climate in the industry today people need to have additional information on offshore sportsbooks and online casinos from an outside source.

IGC and Offshore Gambling
The IGC, a not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1996 in the US, relocating to Vancouver, Canada, incorporating there in March 2000.
