Status Update: Raiders Stadium Development

One of Las Vegas’ most exciting residencies is raiding the town and it’s got the whole city cheering. This particular residency takes place under a glass-domed roof, equipped with state-of-the-art retractable doors, and 65,000 seats overlooking a well-groomed natural grass field. Of course, we’re referring to the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders and their shiny, new Las Vegas stadium!

The Raiders Las Vegas Stadium Construction

With around 500 workers on site and a 1.8-BILLION-dollar budget, all Las Vegas Raiders Stadium construction employees are cruising at full speed to make their 2020 deadline. That might seem like a long time away, but watching the progression of the beautiful stadium being built will keep us entertained until the Raiders are here for good. There’s no doubt that other NFL cities will be quite envious of the final product, as our stadium will be loaded with all the bells and whistles. The black and silver building will shine like a jewel amongst a desert backdrop. Huge retractable doors will open, overlooking a bustling courtyard with the Las Vegas Strip just behind it.

The stadium is also equipped with a swanky, contemporary, fully-stocked bar, similar to a casino experience. Not to mention a below-level parking lot, which is completely unique and perfectly built for Sunday night tailgating. Ticket holders also have the option of booking a stadium suite that promises a “Super Bowl – like experience” every game day with world class luxury and service.

Currently, the stadium is only about 15% complete, so if you’d like to be the first to know about current stadium updates you can sign up to receive the latest information. As an added bonus, you can watch the whole construction process live. Score!

Plan a Las Vegas Football Vacation

*Where to Stay

The stadium may not be complete yet, but it’s not too early to start planning your Las Vegas football vacation! It may sound like an unorthodox combination… Las Vegas, football, and a tropical paradise hotel… but this is a promising combination worth waiting for. Imagine this: it’s gameday and you wake up to your family and closest friends enjoying their morning coffee in the kitchenette of your Tahiti Village suite. With comfortable beds and a cozy atmosphere, everyone is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for a football-filled day.

With this newly refreshed energy, you are ready watch some football but you’re not looking forward to a long drive in big city traffic. Lucky for you, Tahiti Village is a minuscule three miles away from the NFL Las Vegas Raider Stadium. That’s barely enough time to blare The Autumn Wind out the car windows for the whole city to hear.

*What to Eat & Drink

Generally, people enjoy a little bit of tailgating before the game but in Vegas, standing under the desert sun on a blacktop parking lot sounds like something you’d rather do later in the NFL season. That being said, Tahiti Village doesn’t want you to miss out on all that delicious traditional tailgating food. At 17º S Beers & Bites you can find burgers, fries, wings, slow cooked ribs, nachos, and of course… ice cold beer.
Want to keep the football party going through the night? Just because the day is coming to a close doesn’t mean it’s time for bed. At the Wiki Wiki Store you can stock up on sodas, beer, and snacks to keep that football momentum going during your entire Las Vegas Tahiti Village vacation.

*How to Recover

So, you watched a winning game, ate some amazing food, and threw back a few cold beers to make for an unforgettable gameday. However, did watching all those buff athletes have you feeling a little less than physically fit? Then head to Tahiti Village’s fully equipped fitness center and start pumping that iron. The fitness center includes treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, and a wide variety of strength equipment so you can leave feeling as ripped as Derek Carr.

Or maybe watching all those hard-working football players had the opposite effect, and seeing all that physical activity actually wore you out. Well, there’s no better way to embrace lethargy than a relaxing Lazy River! Grab a complimentary Lazy River Tube and peacefully float around the 1/8th of a mile serenity decorated with beautiful waterfalls as Tahitian Tiki Torches light your path, where you can dream of the next time you spend a Raiders game day celebrating in Las Vegas.

As the Entertainment Capital of the World, it only makes sense that one of the most popular sports makes Las Vegas home. Our Valley has a lot to look forward to with the NFL digging their cleats into our desert sands, and Tahiti Village is happy to be your oasis for every kick-off.

Las Vegas for Beginners: What to Know Before Visiting

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 51s Baseball Team Photo

Las Vegas Baseball 2018: Cheer On the Las Vegas 51s

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 Soleil being 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.

As if the surprisingly affordable ticket prices weren’t enough, the Las Vegas 51s also have a long list of baseball game promotions throughout the summer. Cashman Field offers discounted concessions at every Monday home game, Budweiser Dollar Beer Night every Thursday, and even fun giveaway games sprinkled throughout the season to show appreciation for such loyal Las Vegas baseball fans.

Watch Talented 51s Baseball Players Thrive

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!

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!

This Las Vegas comedy show is great to enjoy with your significant other, because not only will you enjoy some laughs together, but you might even learn something about your relationship that you didn’t know! So during your trip to Las Vegas, head out to Fremont Street and enjoy some possible enlightenment and comedy all rolled up into one at the D Las Vegas. (There are also plenty of bar and restaurant options for pre and post drinks!)

3. LA Comedy Club 😂😂😂😂

Next on our list is another laugh-worthy north Strip performance, LA Comedy Club at Stratosphere. Providing laughs for visitors and locals alike since 2007, the LA Comedy Club delivers a version of improv that you have never seen before, inside the Stratosphere’s Dragon Room. Not only will you get a good show and laugh from national comedians, but you can also experience some of the locals performing their best on the stage.

No matter where you find yourself sitting inside this venue, you won’t miss one minute of laughter as you enjoy one of the best Las Vegas comedy shows this city has to offer.

Plan a Family Reunion in Las Vegas

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.
