This year’s season-ending luau, a wistful event that marks the unofficial end of summer at Tahiti Village, will conclude on a happy note of hope for the less fortunate of our community. For our last luau of 2018, which we will live-stream on Facebook at 7 p.m. Sunday, we are partnering with Three Square food bank to help feed the hungry of Las Vegas.

For every person on social media who shares the event from our Facebook page, we will donate one meal to Three Square up to 10,000 meals. As always, our Bacardi-sponsored luau will feature delicious Island-style cuisine and wonderful entertainment from our Hot Lava singers, dancers and musicians. For this particular luau, we will be introducing the new official drink of Tahiti Village, the delicious Bacardi Dragon Berry Limónade!

Las Vegas radio station 104.3NowFM and DJ Supa James will be broadcasting remotely from our luau location, the beautiful Island Courtyard. Be sure to share our Facebook event to benefit Three Square and the hungry of Southern Nevada.

Can Seth Grabel fool Penn & Teller? Watch and see this Monday night!

Back in February, a month before his big TV taping for Penn & Teller’s Fool Us magic 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!

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!

Bring on the heat! Summer is officially here with the arrival of our Weekly Sunday Luau!

Gorgeous girls in coconut bras! Daring fire twirlers! A guy with a ukulele! Our signature summer event, the popular Sunday Luau, is back for another great season beginning Sunday, May 27. Join us in our spacious Island Courtyard every Sunday all summer long for a great evening of entertainment from Hot Lava. New to the luau for 2018 is a rotating menu of Island-inspired cuisine from Chef Jason – you’ll never have the same thing twice (or at least not two weeks in row!) – and a new luau drink menu sponsored by Bacardi and Red Bull.

As always, the Hot Lava singers, dancers, and musicians will thrill, delight, and whisk you away to a tropical paradise right here in the desert. Their island offerings include a mix of fun Polynesian songs and hula dances with audience participation. Things really heat up when a master fire twirler hits the stage. You’ll be on the edge of your seat!

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Dinner begins at 7 p.m. with the show to follow. For current VIP and general admission pricing and to reserve your tickets, please call the concierge at (702) 440-6915 or visit the concierge desk in the Tahiti Village main lobby.

Magic Monday! See the amazing Seth Grabel on his new day and time!

Our popular Sunday afternoon magic show starring Seth Grabel is disappearing from its usual day and time and reappearing Monday nights through Labor Day. The first show on the new day is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 28 in our intimate Kahiko Room, where Seth has performed his amazing up-close magic since January.

Seth, an America’s Got Talent semifinalist, will astonish you with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of sleight of hand trickery, astonishing utensil manipulation, mindboggling levitation, and dexterous card virtuosity.  Seth’s sheer magic mastery compares with any Las Vegas magician you might name, and he is the equal of where audience interaction, participation and fun are concerned.

Don’t miss the incredible Seth Grabel on your next visit to Tahiti Village. Tickets are available at the concierge desk in the main lobby building or by calling (702) 440-6915. Grab some before they disappear!

Join us poolside starting tonight and every Thursday throughout the summer for Acoustics & Ale!

With the first triple digit temperatures of the year arriving this week with the fury of a vengeful blowtorch, sending guests scurrying to the tropical beach pool and lazy river for instant cooling relief, it’s safe to say the summer season is upon us at Tahiti Village even if it’s still officially spring. The onset of May also augurs the return of our famous Summer Sunday Luau – just weeks away from its traditional Memorial Day weekend start – and now, as a sunny supplement to that popular event, we’re presenting Acoustics & Ale poolside every Thursday at 6 p.m. throughout the summer.

You can quench your parched palate with a selection of enticing beers from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company while you kick back and listen to a revolving roster of talented musical artists from Nick Mattera Productions. Yes, that Nick Mattera, the popular acoustic guitarist who performs at our weekly Owners Night inside 17˚ South Booze & Bites.

If you haven’t tried a Sierra Nevada beer yet, be sure to grab an original Pale Ale, a Hazy Little Thing IPA or a Tropical Torpedo IPA from the Sandbox Bar. You’ll understand why one of the first craft brewers in the nation is still going stronger than ever as you relax poolside listening to great acoustic sounds. We’re also giving away Sierra Nevada swag, including T-shirts and bottle openers.

We hope to see you at Acoustics and Ale!

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!

No fooling: Annual Easter egg hunt set for this Sunday, April 1st!

Easter Sunday is shaping up to be a hopping good time for the entire family at Tahiti Village, starting with our annual Easter egg hunt on April 1. Young collectors and their parents should meet at 9 a.m. inside the Island Courtyard to receive their egg bags and prepare for the hunt, which will go off at approximately 9:15 a.m. for the first age group (up to five years old), 10 minutes later for the second age group (6-12), and 10 minutes after that for the third age group (13 and over).

Once the first group of intrepid hunters collects their eggs, deftly hidden throughout the lazy river, they will return to the Island Courtyard for games, crafts and live music. They will soon be joined there by the second and third groups sporting their own candy-filled eggs. Fortune will smile on a few lucky hunters in the form of special Golden Eggs, which will contain a voucher the holder can exchange for a special prize.

Here’s wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!
