Las Vegas is a city like no other – which can make preparing for a trip overwhelming if it’s your first time. When determining how to plan for a visit to the City of Lights, it’s best to take into consideration who you’re traveling with, your preferences, and the expectations you have for your stay.
Here’s a general “Vegas for Beginners” guide to give you a head-start on planning and preparations:
What to Pack
Packing for Vegas is entirely dependent upon the season. In the summertime, this desert city can regularly reach triple digits, while winter can bring rain and cool night temperatures. Make sure to take a look at the weather forecast before you start packing to get a general idea of what the weather will be like during your visit. Any planned activities can also help determine what you should bring to Vegas. Pool party lovers will want to pack multiple swimsuit options, while those who love the great indoors may want to pack dressier clothes for air-conditioned dinners and gaming.
What to Prepare For
There are a few things first-time visitors will want to be prepared for, including the following:
*Hot days and cold nights – This weather combo can make packing a little difficult and often occurs in the spring and fall months. Bring a light jacket or sweater for your nighttime strolls through the city so you’re not left feeling too chilly.
*Spontaneous activities – Vegas is full of fun, random attractions that you may not have planned for. Be sure to pack a pair of closed-toed shoes, athletic apparel, and varied clothing types so that you’re ready for any exciting opportunity that may come your way.
*A multitude of food options – Think twice about packing food for a trip to Vegas. The city is full of renowned eateries, ranging from five-star to casual dining. Take advantage of the city’s diverse food scene, even if it means spending a little more on eating out (we promise it’ll be worth it).
*Photo opportunities – Bring a fully-charged camera with plenty of storage to capture all the photo-worthy moments. From dazzling signage to natural desert views, Las Vegas is a treat for both eyes and camera lenses.
What to Plan
Before you plan a trip to Vegas, decide what you want out of it. Are you looking for family fun? A romantic escape? A solo adventure? Knowing what you’re looking for can help you craft a trip that will suit your needs. A trip to Las Vegas should include a mix of planned activities and spontaneous adventures, so make sure to plan strategically.
The activities and attractions you should book in advance are the ones that have the potential to sell out. If you’re heading to Vegas during the busy season, make sure to schedule your dinner reservations and hotel stays in advance. For attractions and things to do, call ahead and ask if a reservation is necessary. Book the activities that have the potential to fill up, but leave some wiggle room for free time so you have time to breathe between activities.
If you’re visiting in the summer, make sure to check out one of Las Vegas’s famous pools. Nothing will help you celebrate summer better than the gorgeous water attractions in the Entertainment Capital of the World. The pool and lazy river at Tahiti Village are known throughout the city for being an oasis in the middle of the desert. The Tahitian-themed pool area has a sandy beach entry, tropical paradise feel, is kid-friendly, and is a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy together.
Las Vegas is a unique city that offers bright lights, culinary delights, fun in the sun, and nights to remember. Prepare for your trip by checking the weather in advance, booking all reservations before they sell out, and saving some time to relax by the pool.
Las Vegas may be located in the desert, but there’s watering holes everywhere! You’ve likely heard about all the fun that can be had when you’re at the best pools in Las Vegas, so find the right location for you. From party pools to kid-friendly pools to lounging pools, this city has it all. Whether you’re looking to soak up the sun and relax in your own private cabana, do some socializing, or splish splash with the kids, Tahiti Village highlights the best pools in Las Vegas.
Get ready to put on your swimsuits and lather on sunscreen because there’s no better way to spend your Las Vegas summer vacation than at the pool!

Summertime means cold drinks, outdoor fun, and America’s favorite pastime; baseball! From the Vegas Golden Knights to the WNBA Aces to the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders, our sports scene is pretty legendary. And don’t forget about our local soccer team, the Las Vegas Lights, with Tahiti Village’s Club de Soleilbeing the official “Home of the Lights.” As such a big-time sports city, of course we have our very own baseball team, the Las Vegas 51s, to cheer on this summer.
There’s a lot going on for this minor-league team as the Las Vegas 51s recently kicked off their 36th season of Triple-A baseball and have games scheduled all the way into September. If you have never visited Cashman Field, this is the summer to do it, as plans for an entirely new Las Vegas 51s stadium is currently underway. If you’re in search of a fun summertime activity, a Las Vegas baseball game in the desert is a great way to spend any evening.
Affordable Vegas Baseball Tickets that Break Bats, Not Banks
Did we mention how affordable spending time in the ballpark is? You can cheer on the Las Vegas 51s for as low as $11 per ticket. Don’t think that automatically means the highest-quality seats in the stadium are ultra-expensive. You can sit in the best seats in the house for only $6 more at the Las Vegas 51s stadium!
While we can’t deny our love for the NHL Golden Knights games held at T-Mobile Arena or our excitement as we anticipate the 2020 arrival of the NFL Las Vegas Raiders, we all know those tickets cost multiples of a Las Vegas 51s game. That means you can become the newest regular at Cashman Field without breaking the bank, which is a good thing seeing that you’ll be planning your next ticket purchase before your first game is even finished.
If you find yourself assuming that such low ticket prices must reflect the value of the game being played on the field, think again. Triple-A Baseball is only one level below the major leagues and is full of talented players. The Las Vegas 51s are actually the minor-league affiliate team of the well-known New York Mets, so players on the 51s are frequently directly sent to the major-league. Minor-league baseball is also used as a gateway back into the major-league for players who have lost time in the sport while undergoing injury rehabilitation.
Las Vegas Baseball is Moving Onward and Upward
There are many new things to come for the Las Vegas 51s after the 2018 Las Vegas baseball season. This season will be the team’s last in their home at Cashman Field while the new Las Vegas 51s stadium is currently under construction in Downtown Summerlin. The entire community is anticipating the new 10,000-seat ballpark, which is a $150 million project.
Not only will the team call the new stadium home in the 2019 season, Las Vegas baseball is also going through a huge rebranding process and will have a new team name and major-league affiliation. The purpose of the team’s rebranding is to further connect with the local Las Vegas community. The organization even held a team-naming contest back in the spring and received more than 2,500 entries from excited Las Vegas baseball fans. The team is looking to be creative with their new team name and proudly want it to represent their unique home.
The five-year contract with the New York Mets ends after this year as well, and with so many upgrades we expect the team to be highly sought after by major-league franchises. Towards the end of the season, around mid-September, is when we’ll find out about the Las Vegas 51s’ new major-league affiliation. But until then, cheer on the Las Vegas 51s all summer long and catch the Friday Night Fireworks every week! Take me out to the ball game!
Back in February, a month before his big TV taping for Penn & Teller’s Fool Usmagic competition show, spectacular Tahiti Village magician Seth Grabel proclaimed: “It’s going to be one of the craziest things I’ve ever done.”
Immediately and without prompting, he proceeded to describe in graphic detail what can only be called a date with digestion, then made us promise not to reveal the gory specifics. (We promise, Seth!)
Fool Us brings together magicians to perform tricks in front of Penn & Teller. If the famous duo cannot determine how a trick was done, the magician who performed it will get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform as their opening act at the Rio Hotel & Casino right here in Las Vegas.
Without revealing whether he fooled Penn & Teller or not, Seth said “I did exactly what I planned to do, which is perform the biggest stun ever seen on the show. We made magic happen, and I accomplished my goal of pulling off a stunt I have been thinking about for years.”
The episode, filmed in March, will air Monday, June 23, from 8-9 p.m. on the CW network (KVCW Channel 33 in Las Vegas) right after Seth’s regularly scheduled Monday night performance from 7-8 p.m. in our Tahiti Village Kahiko Room. Don’t miss it!
