Plan a Family Reunion in Las Vegas

Blog,  Events and Activities,  Family Friendly,  Las Vegas Activities,  Special EventsPosted on

Summer is the season for fun in the sun, relaxation, and spending time with family. And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than in sunny Las Vegas? Let us help you plan a family reunion to remember at Tahiti Village.

Why Tahiti Village

Unlike some other resorts in the Las Vegas Valley, Tahiti Village isn’t located on the Strip. This fact alone makes it perfect for family reunions and vacations because it’s less crowded and far quieter than your typical Vegas resort. Families enjoy the slower pace at Tahiti Village, yet the hustle and excitement of the Las Vegas Strip is only a quick 2-mile drive away.

For those looking for maximum value, Tahiti Village doesn’t disappoint. The island-inspired oasis offers large suites – some with fully-equipped kitchens and stackable washer/dryer units – that can accommodate large families and guests of all ages with ease. Add in a massive pool and the mellow, intoxicating Lazy River, and you have a combination that is simply unbeatable. Oh, and we didn’t even mention the Summer Luau!

Things to do in Las Vegas with Kids

Vegas has evolved over the years, and today’s visitor has access to nearly anything their heart desires. If your family reunion includes taking lots of kids along, you’ll want to add some of these attractions to your agenda:

  1. Adventuredome Theme Park: Located under the big pink dome adjacent to Circus Circus, this 5-acre indoor theme park offers rides and attractions that range from toddler-friendly to downright exhilarating. An arcade, mini-golf, 4-D rides and carnival-style games are also on-site.
  2. Tahiti Village Pool: Both kids and adults enjoy the simple things in life. Make sure to schedule a few hours (or days) poolside at the Tahiti Village Resort. You’ll find that families that play together, stay together so slap on some sunscreen, hop in the cool waters and relax amidst the swaying palm trees and island-themed décor of this incredible venue.
  3. Shark Reef: Head over to Mandalay Bay and walk your group through Shark Reef – a 1.3 million gallon exhibit that features a walk-through shark tunnel and more than one hundred unique species of aquatic life. 14 separate exhibits and a calm, cool setting keep kids of all ages entertained and out of the summer heat.
  4. Family-Friendly Shows: From the Blue Man Group to Mystere by Cirque du Soleil and our very own Magic of Seth Grabel, kids, teens and adults of all ages will love the world-class entertainment options available in and around Las Vegas. Check out this comprehensive list of family-appropriate shows that’ll make your visit to the Entertainment Capital of the World an unforgettable one.
  5. Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.: The Scientific Training and Tactical Intelligence Operative Network opens up the Marvel Universe and puts kids and adults right in the heart of the action. Leave it to Las Vegas to offer such a unique experience – one where you can see Thor’s hammer, Captain America’s shield and even Black Widow’s weapons and clothing under one roof.

Activities Outside of Las Vegas for Families

  1. Grand Canyon: If you’ve never seen it in person before, the Grand Canyon is way more than just a big hole in the ground. Visitors of all ages marvel in the natural splendor that has resulted from the Colorado River’s diligent work – and adventurous families may even want to check it out by air via one of Vegas’ reputable helicopter tour companies.
  2. Bootleg Canyon Ziplines: If you and your family are thrillseekers, consider heading out to nearby Boulder City where you’ll find Flightlinez, a zipline outfit that certainly puts the ‘zip’ in ziplining. Reaching speeds of up to 60 MPH, you and your guests will traverse more than a mile and a half of the Mojave Desert before you depart back home. If you don’t want to drive out to the desert or don’t have a car, Downtown Las Vegas offers the SlotZilla Zipline that jettisons you above the Fremont Street Experience at 40 MPH!
  3. Wet ‘n’ Wild Water Park: Located just 10-15 minutes down the highway from Las Vegas sits a local favorite – Wet ‘n’ Wild. With more than 25 attractions and water slides, this water park offers something for everyone. Little ones love the lazy river and wave pool, while more adventurous visitors get their hearts racing with massive water slides and thrilling attractions.

Scheduling a family reunion in Las Vegas is the perfect excuse to get everyone together for several days or more of fun and family bonding.

Get Ready for the 4th of July in Las Vegas

Blog,  Events and Activities,  Family Friendly,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Special EventsPosted on

The 4th of July is a big deal in Las Vegas, so make sure you prepare for the party early! Whether your idea of fun is a huge pool party with stellar music and tasty food, or a night out at one of Vegas’ trendiest clubs, there is something for everyone in Las Vegas. Vegas does holidays right, so let’s fill you in on all the hot spots to cheer on the good ‘ol US of A!

Book Your Room

The Strip offers many hotel rooms and options for the intrepid traveler, but this area of Las Vegas tends to get crazy busy during holiday weekends, so you may want to consider a room that is just a bit off the Strip. A hotel in DTLV (Downtown Las Vegas) might be the answer, or a truly off-Strip location like Tahiti Village is always a terrific option. The benefits of staying away from the Vegas Strip when booking your hotel are numerous – including quieter sleeping hours, less crowds, and more affordable suites.

4th of July Activities in Las Vegas

You couldn’t possibly fit all the 4th of July-related activities into a couple of days, so make sure to create a list and check off a few venues and experiences that you consider must-dos. Here are some of our favorites:

  1. Relax by the pool. Sound anticlimactic? Sometimes there’s nothing better than spending a leisurely afternoon by the pool enjoying both the cool water and the toasty heat of the summer sun. If the water is calling your name, book a resort that has a big pool and plenty of amenities that’ll make your time in the sun unforgettable.
  2. Attend a Las Vegas pool party! On a warm, holiday weekend in Las Vegas, prepare for a massive selection of pool parties! Whether your ideal pool party involves getting loud with a thousand of your closest friends or sampling fine wine and small plates at an exclusive poolside enclave, Las Vegas has what you want.
  3. Check out a museum. While visiting a museum might not be the first holiday weekend activity that comes to mind, it’s going to be warm on the 4th and taking an occasional break from the heat will help keep your energy levels up and your body cool. Plus, there are dozens of incredible museums to check out in the area. From the fascinating Mob Museum to Madame Tussauds, the Bellagio Art Gallery to the Neon Museum, you’ll find a little slice of Las Vegas history – and some much needed A/C – when you take a detour to one of these local venues.
  4. Take in a show! The nightlife never stops in Las Vegas, and the week of the 4th is chock full of amazing shows. From David Copperfield’s intriguing acts to the seemingly-impossible stunts on display at any of the Cirque du Soleil shows each night, attending a show in Vegas is a great way to stay cool and witness the theatrics of a live performance.
  5. Watch the fireworks. Our inner child loves bright lights and big bangs, and the annual fireworks shows in and around the Vegas Valley never disappoint. Stroll the Strip for an up close and personal view of the Caesar’s Palace fireworks show (starts at 9:15pm on Saturday, June 30th), or head out toward Lake Mead and take in the Lake Las Vegas fireworks show on July 7th! You can catch more than one show if you’re planning to stay the entire week.

Things to Remember When Visiting Las Vegas for the 4th of July

-Keep in mind that it’ll be crowded, so mentally prepare for that aspect of the holiday week.

-It’s going to be warm, even at night. With daytime temperatures averaging 106 degrees in July, dress appropriately and have a plan that involves taking breaks inside or at the pool.

-Book now! It gets busy this time of year, so look for a resort that is near the center of town but isn’t on the Strip. You’ll generally get a much better deal on a room.

-Since the 4th lands on a Wednesday this year, plan on festivities starting on the Friday before and culminating on the 4th of July. Heading into town the weekend before ensures you’ll have access to the full calendar of events.

Whether this is your first time spending the 4th of July in Vegas or you’re a regular to Sin City, take the time to plan where you’ll stay and what you’ll do (even if that means planning to do nothing by the pool).

Getting Ready for the Vegas Summer Months: Tips & Tricks for Staying Cool

Blog,  Events and Activities,  Family Friendly,  Las Vegas ActivitiesPosted on

Summertime in Las Vegas means a couple things. First, there are endless possibilities when it comes to entertainment. Festivals? Check. Patio happy hour and brunch? Most definitely. Outdoor concerts and shows? You know it! Second, fun is in the air, and locals and visitors are soaking up these summertime activities. Lastly, it is HOT! With the average temperature being 105 degrees, you have to get crafty throughout the next few months when it comes to staying cool and having fun.

If you have no idea where to start, you’re in luck because Tahiti Village is here to provide you with tips and tricks for keeping cool as it heats up in the desert!

Tip 101° – Enjoy the Desert Oasis Options

The obvious first choice when it comes to keeping cool this summer is to dip your toes in the many pool options available in this amazing city. Whether you’re looking for a roaring good time, serenity poolside, or just a place to let loose and get your bronze on, then you’ve definitely come to the right place for the ultimate pool time experience. In Las Vegas there is no shortage of cool water and good times. But, what is your preference? Dayclub? Family friendly? Private? Whatever you want, this city will deliver. Below are a few options to please all personalities:

Dayclubs:

–Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan – If you’re looking for the ultimate pool party, then look no further! Marquee has everything it takes to throw the best pool day including music, pools, cabanas, and party-driven people. Enjoy this rooftop beach club for an adult-only good time every day from 11am until sunset.
–Rehab Beach Club at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas – Enjoy one of the best DJ dayclubs in Las Vegas at Hard Rock. Whether you want to see Borgore, Flo Rida, or DJ Five, Rehab Beach Club will be their host. Rent out a cabana or just enjoy the pool. Whatever you decide, you’re guaranteed to have a good time!
–Drai’s Beachclub at The Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel & Casino – Another rooftop pool party that you can’t pass up is Drai’s Beachclub. As you enjoy your daybed with a view of the Bellagio Fountains, you can take in the music, sip on your cocktail, and indulge in some poolside snacks. You really can’t go wrong when you spend the day at this Las Vegas dayclub.

Private & Relaxed:

–Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage – If privacy is your main goal when keeping cool at the pool this summer, then head over to Bare Pool Lounge. Here you can enjoy a palm tree-enclosed oasis, perfect for the ultimate relaxation. So bare it all as you leave the heat and chaos of the Strip behind for the afternoon.
–Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis at Caesars Palace – Experience some of the most exclusive watering holes in all of Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. Here you will feel like a true god or goddess while lounging throughout this Vegas pool escape. Let your elegant self come out as you avoid the heat of the desert.

Family-Friendly:

–Pool & Lazy River at Tahiti Village – Featuring one of the longest lazy rivers in the desert and a Tahitian-themed pool, Tahiti Village offers the best options when it comes to cooling down as a family. Let the kids enjoy the lazy river fun while the parents lounge poolside and enjoy a well-deserved cocktail.
–Mandalay Bay Beach at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Las Vegas – Who needs the actual beach when you have a Las Vegas-themed beach right at the beginning of the Strip! Here you can dip your toes in the water while also enjoying the sand between your toes. Bring the whole family out for the perfect desert beach day and listen to the sounds of the man-made waves.

Tip 102° – Hike at Mount Charleston

We know what you’re thinking, hiking in the desert during the summer doesn’t sound like very much fun. Well that’s because you’ve never hiked at Mount Charleston. The hike is about 40 miles away from Las Vegas and always 10-20 degrees cooler than the Strip, making it a unique summer activity. Here you can choose from many different trails in the wooded area of Las Vegas, and test your skills when climbing Mount Charleston herself. After you’ve conquered the mountain, enjoy a drink, a meal, and a place to relax at The Resort on Mount Charleston or Mt. Charleston Lodge. If you’re looking for the perfect family afternoon, a little exercise, or just need to get out and clear your mind, then Mount Charleston is your destination!

Tip 103° – Explore the Museums

If you’re looking to get more out of your vacation, then take advantage of the many museums that this amazing city has to offer. Not only are Las Vegas museums enriching and a great learning opportunity, they’re also air conditioned! Learn more about the history of the Mob at the Mob Museum located in Downtown Las Vegas, where you can browse through three levels of mob facts. After you’ve seen enough, head down to the basement and enjoy their newest addition, The Speakeasy.

Another show-stopping spot is the Las Vegas Art Museum. Here, you can dive deeper into the current culture of the city, and browse upon amazing pieces and exhibits. This Metropolitan Gallery is also located Downtown, so when you’re done taking in all the art, step back out into the heat and find the nearest bar for some ice cold drinks at happy hour.

If neither of these caught your eye, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to have an educational and cool afternoon. Below are some other popular museums in Las Vegas:

–Discovery Children’s Museum
–Nevada State Museum
–Las Vegas Natural History Museum
–Burlesque Hall of Fame

Tip 104° – Shop Till You Drop

You’re on vacation, so it’s time to loosen the purse strings and buy that outfit that you’ve had your eye on. A great way to keep cool during your summer vacation in Vegas is to explore the shopping that this city has to offer. With everything from high end shopping to outlet options, Las Vegas has it all. If you don’t mind walking around outdoors and beating the heat as you jump from shop to shop, then explore Downtown Summerlin or Town Square (located right up the road from Tahiti Village)! These two options have a wide variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment.

If you’re looking to get out of the heat all together, then try out The Forum Shops at Caesars, The Miracle Mile Shops, Fashion Show, and plenty others. Even if you’re not in the market for anything specific, these shopping options have plenty of beautiful things to see. So put on your most comfortable shoes and get your shop on.

Tip 105° – Check Out a Las Vegas Show

If there’s one thing that Las Vegas really knows how to do, it’s entertainment. Beat the heat this summer by witnessing some of the amazing shows that our city has to offer. Whatever you’re looking for, Vegas can deliver. Enjoy a Cirque du Soleil show with music, acrobatics, art, and more. Or, if comedy is your show of choice, let Carrot Top get to your funny bone when performing at Luxor or laugh at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand. Anything you could possibly imagine, Vegas has it covered.

If magic is what you’re looking for, check out The Magic of Seth Grabel at Tahiti Village Resort every Monday evening. As a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent, Seth offers a family-friendly show for all to enjoy. Witness wizardry in an amazing performance that will keep you guessing long after the show.

As you can see, there is no shortage of activities for a summer vacation in Las Vegas. When planning a trip to Vegas during the summer months remember to stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and don’t underestimate the sun. After a day filled with activities, relax in your suite at Tahiti Village and get ready for a new day and new adventure.

Mermaid CaySea is making a big splash in our tropical beach pool all summer long!

Blog,  Events and Activities,  Family Friendly,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  Special EventsPosted on

Mermaid CaySea, the wondrous result of an unlikely coupling, has found a new home here at Tahiti Village. Her arrival, like her spectacular speckled fin, is a source of great mystery. On Monday, May 28, the blonde hybrid turned up on a cart outside the gate of our tropical beach pool and asked to be wheeled into the water. Although her origins were unknown and her motives unclear, her charm and beauty cast a mesmerizing spell on our pool staff – and they had no choice but to carry out her wishes.

Once inside the pool, CaySea cut through the water like a born descendent of Poseidon, her taut tail smacking the water like a pastel paddle, and she made a beeline for a group of children frolicking in the shallows near the sandy beach bottom entry. Like our pool staff, they immediately clustered around her and were instantly captivated by this most unusual creature. CaySea read them “tales” from her mermaid book and engaged in playful games with colorful plastic eggs.

An hour passed by like a minute, and just as quickly as she had arrived, CaySea announced it was time for her to go. “Noooooo,” cried the kids in unison. She explained that her unique physiology allowed her to stay in chlorinated pool water for just 60 minutes a week, but that she’d be back the same time the following Monday and every Monday thereafter throughout the summer.

You can “catch” her from 2-3 p.m. To quote Mermaid CaySea herself, it’s a “fin-tastic” fun time for all!

How much longer are we keeping the gold in our Tahiti Village logo? Unteal the Vegas Golden Knights complete their historic run!

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

What began as a short-term mandate from the Mayor to ban teal in Las Vegas during the Golden Knights’ playoff series with the teal-clad San Jose Sharks has received an indefinite extension at Tahiti Village.

Rather than restore the teal to our logo following the Knights’ second round NHL playoff ouster of the Sharks, as initially planned, we are instead keeping the replacement gold for as long as the Knights remain alive in their quest for the Stanley Cup.

“Although teal is one of our branded Tahiti Village colors, as a proud partner of the Knights, we will maintain the gold in our logo for the rest of the season,” said Aaron Lewis, Somerpointe Resorts Director of Marketing. “Besides, we think the gold is starting to look pretty good on us!”

Tahiti Village invites Golden Knights fans to participate in its Somerpointe Resorts Golden Knights Giveaway for the chance to win Knights merchandise, game tickets, and Somerpointe Resorts Las Vegas room stays, including the grand prize “High Roller Package” for two. Lucky winners will receive two VIP glass seats, allowing them to get up close and personal with their favorite players.

Go, Knights, Go!

With warm and sunny weather, an abundance of fun-filled activities, and tasty restaurants, Las Vegas is the perfect destination to celebrate your mom this Mother’s Day.

Things To Do on Mother’s Day Weekend

There are two special events happening for Mother’s Day Weekend: A Mother’s Day Wine Walk on Saturday and a Mother’s Day Brunch on Sunday. If your mother prefers a more typical (and upscale) shopping experience, visit Fashion Show Mall on the Strip or the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian.

-Treat Your Mom to a Spa Day

If your mom is in need of some much-deserved relaxation, she’s sure to find it at Mahana Spa. Here, she can relax, rejuvenate and revive with therapeutic treatments inspired by the tropics and the rainforests. Mahana Spa offers a variety of massage, facials and therapeutic skin treatments.

This cultural hub offers indie art galleries, unique performance spaces, tasty restaurants, and bohemian bars.  18b’s major venues include the Arts Factory and Art Square, where the intimate Cockroach Theatre stages independant and offbeat plays.

-See a Show

Leave your mother in awe with the music, illusion, and acrobatics of a Cirque du Soleil show, a classic that has been delighting audiences for over 20 years. There are seven different themes to choose from on Mother’s Day weekend. These 90-minute shows run all year long and will suit every taste and age group. If your mom is a music lover, allow her to get “On The Floor” at Jennifer Lopez, break out her inner “Tiny Dancer” at Elton John, or “Turn Back Time” at Cher.

-Explore the Great Outdoors

Go the easy route and take a 13-mile, one way scenic drive through Red Rock National Recreation Area. Red Rock Canyon offers hiking and trails, plants and wildlife, geology, and camping. Admire the gorgeous rock formations and if you are up for it, take an easy walk through Calico Basin.

If your mom enjoys water sports, take her kayaking at Black Canyon. Arizona Hot Springs, as well as a few other hot springs, can be reached by kayak. Several local kayak rental companies like Desert Adventures will drop you off below the Hoover Dam and pick you up 12 miles downstream at Willow Beach. Enjoy the ride, but be sure to stop and relax in the hot springs, explore side canyons, and allow the current to push you downstream.
