On Sunday night our Bacardi-sponsored summer luau concludes for the year with a Facebook event to benefit Three Square food bank of Southern Nevada.

The Bacardi girls will also be pouring samples of this delicious new drink at the luau – yet another good reason to attend!
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.

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!
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 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!
