St. Patrick’s Day for the Whole Family

Blog,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas EventsPosted on

Get your Irish on this St. Patrick’s Day by celebrating with your whole family in Las Vegas.

When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what comes to mind? Shamrocks? Maybe. The color green? Possibly. Parades and good music? Could be. Ask most people what they think of when St. Patrick’s Day is mentioned and they’ll likely circle around to plenty of adult beverages, lots of raucous action, and a good chance of calling in “sick” to work the next day.

But keep in mind that while this version of St. Paddy’s Day may be right up your alley, there is a huge contingent of people who are interested in having a good time, while simultaneously including their family members (old and young) in the festivities. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate this light-hearted holiday in Vegas and want to party with everyone in the family, here are some of our top ideas for 2017

Everyone Loves a Parade

The city of Henderson hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival in Las Vegas that spans four days (one for each leaf of the luckiest of clovers!) and kicks off on March 10th. The event is free and open to people of all ages. This year marks the 51st anniversary of the first “Shamrocks and Shenanigans” parade hosted by the city of Henderson, and it promises to be a family-friendly experience you’ll look forward to every year.

BLOQ Party Fun

If you don’t want to take the family to Henderson, consider visiting The LINQ Hotel & Casino and check out O’Sheas BLOQ Party this year. The festivities start at noon on March 17th and are packed full of St. Patrick’s Day-themed entertainment options like bag pipers and live bands, a famous beer pong challenge, leprechauns, stilt walkers, and more. Drink specials will appeal to the adults in your crowd, while the green-tinted High Roller Observation Wheel, Vortex at the LINQ, and LINQ fountains will keep the younger members of your group engaged.

Green Waters and Irish Celebrations

Think you have to visit Chicago to see the famous “green-dyed Chicago river” on St. Patrick’s Day? Think again. Each year on this festive holiday, the merrymakers at Vegas’ New York-New York Casino dye their famous fountains green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and they also host a wild 2-day party with a decidedly Irish flair (Friday March 17 and Saturday March 18, 2017). Nine Fine Irishmen provide tasty treats, cocktails are never-ending for the adults in your group, and live entertainment is available to suit the tastes of anyone in your group. The parade is free, but the admission to the main event is just $10 for guests 21 and over only.

St. Patrick’s Day promises to be a blast for you and your entire family. This year, consider staying somewhere off the Strip. You’ll enjoy a quieter, more relaxing experience while still enjoying close proximity to all of the St. Patrick’s Day action in the heart of Las Vegas.

Mouthwatering selections await you on the new 17˚ South Booze & Bites menu!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

If you’re one of those people who respond like Pavlov’s dog to the inclusion of “housemade beer cheese sauce” and “smoked burnt rib ends” on a menu, you’re going to love the new selections at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, the stylish onsite bar and bistro at Tahiti Village.

As we prepare for our third anniversary this summer, we’ve updated our menu ahead of the big birthday celebration with enticing appetizers, satisfying burgers and sandwiches, and entrees that are sure to sound the dinner bell.

Wringing every ounce of inspiration from his years of crafting delectable culinary concoctions, our executive chef created an array of familiar favorites spiced with delicious twists.

Take our calamari. In its usual state of deep fried rings and still-attached tentacles, it is an appetizer staple on menus all over the country. Meh, right? But at 17˚ South, we zing your expectations with a kung pao kick!

Mac and cheese? Who doesn’t like mac and cheese? Except we do it dirty, with those aforementioned smoked burnt rib ends commingling delicious char with all that heavenly cheese.

And speaking of heavenly cheese, we can’t wait for you to try our wagyu sloppy joe nachos with – we repeat it here because we can’t say it enough – housemade beer cheese sauce! An extra tortilla chip for telling us what wagyu is without  a Google assist.

If all that goodness comes with too much guilt, you’ll be happy to know we have three salads to choose from: chopped, Caesar and mixed green.

If you can’t exist on lettuce alone, “let us” recommend a 17˚ South burger with smoked bacon and “fancy sauce.” Or a barbecue pork sandwich with Saigon-style pork. Or a sirloin steak sandwich with provolone cheese and horsey cream. Or a stack of specialty pizzas. Or a lineup of mouthwatering entrees that will have you coming back every night of your visit.

We look forward to satisfying all your culinary cravings!

Know how you can tell things are heating up in Vegas? We’ve opened our poolside tiki bars for the summer!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  ReservationsPosted on

With Las Vegas temperatures creeping into the 70s this week and visitors beginning to flock to our aquatic attractions like competitive eaters to an endless buffet, we thought, `Ah, what the heck. Let’s open the poolside tiki bars for the summer. In March!’

So that’s what we’ve done, opened the Sand Box in the main pool area and the bar inside the lazy river, appropriately called the Lazy River Bar. As usual, they contain a tempting selection of beer, wine, and tropical drink type thingies for you to enjoy while you’re relaxing in the sunshine and contemplating your next move.

And speaking of your next move – will it be a relaxing trip down the Lazy River? A soothing soak in the adult hot tub? Or what about another cold one as you soak in the rays and enjoy the lush scenery around our tropical beach pool? You have a lot of choices at Tahiti Village, and we invite you to try them all as get ready for another wonderful summer season!

We hope to see you here!

Tahiti Village Charity Car Wash

Blog,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

The timing of our first charity event of the year, a benefit car wash for the Las Vegas Chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, couldn’t have been better. The rain that had pelted the city the previous two days agreeably relented by Feb. 20, leaving lots of spotted vehicles for our band of volunteer washers.

Tahiti Village employees lent their vehicles to the cause and a mixed group of team leaders, including ASNY CEO Todd Spector, Soleil Management president Richard Rodriguez, Somerpointe Resorts senior vice president and chief operating officer Carl Hardin, and Soleil chief financial officer Bob Wagner, put their elbows to work.

At the conclusion of four hours, we had washed 23 vehicles and raised $323 for the VFW, which assists veterans in obtaining benefits, lobbies for additional benefits, and helps returning soldiers assimilate back into civilian life.

The event was put on by the charitable arm of our corporate giving committee, ASNY Cares. ASNY is the parent company of Somerpointe Resorts, of which Tahiti Village is the flagship property, and Soleil Management, which oversees the vacation club. ASNY Cares is comprised of dedicated individuals from both.

A concurrent car wash to benefit the VFW at the ASNY corporate office in Las Vegas also raised $550, bringing the total to $873! We thank everyone for their generosity on behalf of a great cause.

Save lots of Washingtons and Lincolns during our Presidents’ Day Sale!

Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

In recognition of our nation’s highest office, and in particular those great men who grace our one- and five-dollar bills, we as a country celebrate Presidents’ Day by participating in one of our great traditions: taking the day off.

Here at Tahiti Village, we’re going it one further by offering you 30 percent off each night of a three-night visit over Presidents’ Day weekend!

That means you’ll save a bundle of Washingtons and Lincolns. If you ask us, there’s no better way to recognize them than that!

To book your Presidents’ Day weekend visit, please call (855) 386-4659. That’s (855) FUN-IN-LV. Please consult the flyer for travel and book dates. You may also book online. We hope to see you here!

Tahiti Village gets new RFID door locks!

Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

Chances are you don’t give much thought to your room key until something annoying happens. For instance: It’s the end of a long day rolling dice at the casino and all you want to do is crash.

You blearily locate the doorway of your hotel room and dig into your pocket. Your fingers find the familiar plastic rectangle. Only mere seconds and a locked door separate you from a comfortable bed and restful sleep.

You slide the key into the lock mechanism. Red light. Huh? You try again. Red light. What the …? Even before you give it a third try (and receive confirmation of your complete and final failure), you know where this is headed: another red light and a long walk to the front desk for a replacement key.

Most everyone has a room key rejection story. With the recent installation of keyless entry locks on all room doors, our goal here at Tahiti Village is to make sure you never have another.

What does this wire-free Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) read-write technology mean? Well, if you’re anything like us, all you want to know is if the technology will make your life easier.

The answer is a resounding yes! RFID key fobs aren’t like mag-stripe keycards that can be demagnetized by cell phones or other articles in your pocket. What’s more, they need only be held a short distance from the lock reader to authenticate the holder. And as a contactless interface, RFID keys don’t collect dirt or require regular maintenance (unlike stripe cards).

It’s just another example of how we utilize your maintenance fees to keep Tahiti Village on the cutting edge – and more secure than ever.

New in-room TV package gives you more choices than ever before!

Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

If you’re one of those people whose idea of a relaxing vacation is staying inside your guest suite and doing a whole lot of nothing, our cable TV upgrade means your blissful state of inertia will be a lot more satisfying. The full digital package, complete with an interactive channel guide and a new Tahiti Village resort channel, offers more than 100 channels for your viewing pleasure.

“This is a significant upgrade over our previous TV package,” said Mike Rounds, Tahiti Village general manager. “We’ve heard your requests for more and better programming, and we’re happy to be able to bring it to you now.”

Happy vegging!

Tahiti Village welcomes our CES visitors

Blog,  General,  Las Vegas Events,  MiscellaneousPosted on

LAS VEGAS – New gadgets, from the helpful (robot assistants) to the hopeful (autonomous vehicles) to the hair-raising (a follicle-stimulating helmet), are drawing visitors by the hundreds of thousands to the annual Consumer Electronics Show, which opened here today.

To all you attendees staying with us at Tahiti Village, we welcome you to our South Pacific-themed resort and hope you have a wonderful time during the convention. We are delighted you chose us as your CES headquarters.

If it wouldn’t be too big an imposition, could you please pick us up a few things from this year’s show? We’ve provided brief descriptions and photos so you’ll know what to look for. Thanks!

Vibrating shorts

 These short shorts, sure to change the legless pants industry as we know it, contain two vibrating sensors on the belt, which connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and help you navigate tricky urban environments by buzzing when you need to turn left or right. For those of us who do not know our left from our right, this is helpful technology indeed.

Levitating speakers

Ever since we saw The Exorcist we’ve been simultaneously fascinated and horrified by the sight of things normally grounded by gravity floating weightlessly in the air. So when we heard about levitating speakers, we knew we just had to have a look.

Here’s how it works: Powerful electromagnets housed inside an accompanying levitation station keep the speaker suspended in the air until the battery begins to run low, at which point the speaker descends to the levitation station and begins to charge wirelessly all by itself and with no interruption in the music.

What will they think of next? Answer …

Selfie drones!

These things are surprisingly affordable, making it even easier to indulge in our narcissism.

Virtual reality shoes

“Haptic feedback” and vibrations give you the sense of walking on the virtual surfaces you see in front of you when you don this special footwear. Now we can finally walk across a bed of flaming hot embers, building vital team camaraderie without suffering any of the agony.

Talking refrigerator

We need help sticking to our New Year’s resolution to eat healthier. What better than a talking refrigerator to guilt you into grabbing an apple? This gabby food box can also read out recipes, tell you when you’re running low on certain items, and dish out recipe suggestions based on its contents. Mmm, ice cream!

Thank you once again for staying at Tahiti Village. Have a great week!
