We’re here to share this summer’s lineup, locations, times, prices, and more, so you don’t miss out on an ounce of action during your summer vacation in Las Vegas.

Recurring Events

We know what you’re thinking, farmers markets in Las Vegas? That’s right, this desert city really does have it all. With five farmers markets throughout the city, you can find fresh goods no matter where you live or are staying. Whether you’re looking for organic produce, beautiful flowers, handcrafted treasures, or other hidden gems, stop by one of the following farmers markets and browse upon Vegas’ finest:

First Fridays

Head down to the Arts District every first Friday of the month for First Fridays, a favorite event among locals. This Las Vegas summer event combines art, food, crafts, music, and fun. Browse through the stands, grab something delicious from local restaurants or food trucks, and listen to amazing, local bands. You can’t go wrong with this monthly event and if you want to keep the party going, head down to Fremont Street for some more Downtown Las Vegas fun.

Summer Sunday Luaus

Just because you’re in the desert doesn’t mean that you can’t have some beach time fun, and Summer Sunday Luaus are happening right at your resort! Every Sunday throughout the summer, Tahiti Village Resort puts on a luau at 7pm. You can expect island dancers (some even have fire), tropical cocktails, and a Hawaiian-inspired feast! Sit back and enjoy or join in the excitement of the celebration!

Concerts

Big Performances on the Strip

-The Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life is a show of a lifetime and will run from July until October. Let your inner high school girl come out at one of their headliner performances at Planet Hollywood. US Weekly even called this show “…the hottest ticket in a city built on entertainment”!

-Get ready for August because Las Vegas has a full lineup! Whether you want to catch Shania Twain at MGM Grand on 8/4, or Lionel Richie at Planet Hollywood on 8/15, or even the End of the World Tour: Avenged Sevenfold, Prophets of Rage, & Three Days Grace at the T-Mobile Arena on 8/17, Las Vegas has it all! Even if these names don’t catch your interest, there are an abundance of performances this summer worth seeing.

Sports

As most people know by now, Las Vegas has become a big sports name. As the Vegas Golden Knights continue to tear it up on the ice, more and more people are coming to Vegas for sporting events. In addition to the amazing hockey that Vegas has had this year, there are a few other sports to your summertime schedule!

-Las Vegas 51s – Even though baseball isn’t the newest sport in the desert, this Minor League Baseball team is one event that you don’t want to miss. Throughout their season schedule that stretches from April through September, the team will celebrate 35 years of baseball in this great city. All home games are played at Cashman Field, but are scheduled to move to a brand new stadium in Summerlin for the 2019 season. This affordable summer activity is perfect for the whole family (don’t forget to buy some Cracker Jacks!).

-Las Vegas Aces – As the newest sport to make its way to the desert, the Las Vegas Aces WNBA team kicked off their season on May 6th with a W! You can catch their games at the Mandalay Bay Events Center now and throughout the summer. So, get yourself a ticket, rep some Aces colors, and cheer on this newest Las Vegas sport!

-Las Vegas Lights FC – In addition to baseball and basketball in Las Vegas, there is also soccer to enjoy! Vegas now has a professional soccer team, and their uniforms prove that they know what Las Vegas is all about. Just like the 51s, the Lights games are held at Cashman Field and the season is already underway. If you want to start the party before doors open, Zappos Tailgating Parties begin around 5:30 p.m. before the 8:00 p.m. game.

Las Vegas has it all when it comes to summer events. Between concerts, sports games, luaus, and shows, there’s something for everyone in the Entertainment Capital of the World. So this season, grab a resort-style hotel room at Tahiti Village, plan out your itinerary, and enjoy the summer in Vegas!

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

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Events and Activities,  General,  Luau,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  Reservations,  Special Events,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

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!

Seth-sational! Astounding magician Seth Grabel now in his third big month at Tahiti Village!

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

Magician extraordinaire Seth Grabel has been amazing audiences at Tahiti Village since January. Possessed of an uncanny ability to make the impossible appear effortless, the former America’s Got Talent semifinalist is transforming otherwise quiet Sunday afternoons into pure magic. So if you’re looking for a great way to wrap up your weekend, come see Seth Grabel at 4 p.m. in our Kahiko Room. You’ll be glad you did!

Be sure to look for him soon on an upcoming Penn & Teller special. We can’t tell you what he did but can say it’s utterly spectacular! In the meantime, read our mirthful musings about him from our social media sites:

“It takes a special kind of person to make you question your deepest held beliefs about what is possible and what is not. Just such a person performs here at Tahiti Village every Sunday afternoon. His name is Seth Grabel. And he’s just that good. See him amaze in our intimate Kahiko Room at 4 p.m.”

“How does he do it? Even he doesn’t know. Seth Grabel is as perplexed as the rest of us by how he arrived at his astonishing powers. All he’ll tell you is magic chose him. And now he shares his incredible gift in our intimate Kahiko Room every Sunday at 4 p.m. See him and be amazed!”

“Don’t ask him how he does it. Just accept that some things can never be explained. See the Magic of Seth Grabel in our Kahiko Room every Sunday at 4 p.m. He’s just that good!”

“How good at magic is Seth Grabel? Click on the link, be amazed, then come see him live and in person inside the Kahiko Room of Tahiti Village every Sunday at 4 p.m. He’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about everything.”

“Can the magic of Seth Grabel make you forget you have to work on Monday? No. Can you still have a mind blowing good time? Yes! See Seth perform unbelievable feats every Sunday at 4 p.m. in our Kahiko Room. It’s a great way to wrap up your weekend.”

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!

Get to know Seth Grabel, Tahiti Village’s resident magic man!

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

Seth Grabel’s persistent climb up the magic ladder didn’t come quickly or easily, but when he finally arrived at the top, it was in front of a national television audience on America’s Got Talent. His spectacular performance on the hit show earned him standing ovations from judges Howie Mandel and Sharon Osborne and a self-evident nickname (“The Showman”) from judge Piers Morgan.

For some, the pressure may have brought on a bout of spotlight-induced stage fright and subjected them to the piercing sound of failure – the dreaded red buzzer! Not in Seth’s case. When it came time to seize the moment, he didn’t shrink from the challenge.

The notoriety he received from AGT led to more television exposure. Seth soon found himself appearing on a variety of shows, including Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker, Animal Planet’s Tanked, Extra’s Talk Soup and network television.

Seth’s mindblowing performances on these largest of stages could have easily created the illusion that he simply conjured his abilities into being. In fact, they were years in the making. As a child, Seth had an interest in magic and mystery, and through years of hard work and dedication – he would spend hours in front of the mirror honing his amazing sleight of hand skills – his passion eventually became his profession.

Discovered by the Amazing Johnathan, a fellow magician and longtime Las Vegas favorite, Seth soon found himself performing alongside him. He worked with Johnathan for three years, calling the experience one of the most incredible in his life. He learned many helpful lessons in the process, and took seriously Johnathan’s advice to create a distinctly Sethian personna.

Since then, Seth has performed across the country and halfway around the world in Asia, in front of countless celebrities and dignitaries.
We are happy to showcase this uniquely talented performer in our intimate Tahiti Village Kahiko Room, where Seth showcases his mind blowing skills every Sunday at 4 p.m. Tickets are available at the concierge in the main lobby, or you can call (702) 440-6915.

You’re sure to be amazed!

Getting Married in Vegas: Best Wedding Venues in Las Vegas

Blog,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Special Events,  WeddingsPosted on

Vegas is the ultimate vacation destination for extravagant entertainment, hospitality, and dining, all of which make Las Vegas the ultimate wedding destination. Getting married in Vegas doesn’t just mean eloping and getting married by Elvis (though, that certainly is a memorable way to give your nuptial vows). From the classic wedding chapel to helicopter rides, there’s something for every couple to have the perfect Las Vegas wedding ceremony.

In 2017, Clark County issued just over 78,000 marriage licenses, creating a high demand for wedding venues on and off the Strip. With so many options to choose from, it can be daunting planning a Vegas wedding.

To make it easier, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite off-Strip wedding venues for traditionalists and adventurers alike.

Traditionally Vegas:

Graceland Wedding Chapel

We’re starting off the list with the most iconic of Vegas weddings. There’s no denying the allure of having the King himself attending your ceremony, and Graceland provides this unique opportunity. The chapel offers a variety of Las Vegas wedding packages, ranging from traditional to Elvis-studded. Depending on which you and your beloved choose, you can have Elvis performing during your “I do’s” wearing gold lace or sequins. If simple is more your speed, the chapel’s traditional wedding packages are perfect for low-key and intimate vows.

This Vegas wedding venue is certainly one to consider for those looking for an unforgettable, quirky, and unique experience on your big day. Get ready to have a blast, as it’s hard to help falling in love with this nuptial option –  whether you have an Elvis wedding or not!

Extravagant:

The Smith Center

In a city of glitz and glam, your big day should be equally as extravagant. The Smith Center for Performing Arts was designed to showcase an artistic spirit – which is exactly what your wedding ceremony will be at this beautiful venue. Art deco design keeps the space rich with style, making it a perfect setting for your vows. The center offers 10 breathtaking venues that can host nearly any size wedding party.

Put your love on display in Reynolds Hall, a 2,050-seat theater featuring balconies and a sweeping stage. Or, opt for an outdoor setting in The Courtyard, where guests can enjoy with fresh air with the backdrop of The Smith Center architecture. No matter which of their Las Vegas wedding venues fits your wedding best, your day is sure to be filled with beauty and elegance.

Stylish:

Sky View at Tahiti Village

One of the most stylish ways to say “I do” is overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. The Sky View space at Tahiti Village offers breathtaking views of the city from the two 10th floor balconies.

Pro Tip: Plan a sunset wedding and have an awe-inspiring ceremony as the sun highlights your love. The vibrant Nevada landscape will be an unmatched background to your first kiss as a married couple.

Natural:

Botanical Gardens at Springs Preserve

Tie the knot in a setting as natural as your love. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Strip, Springs Preserve offers beautiful trails, gardens, and landscapes to highlight the natural beauty of Nevada. Use this to your advantage and enjoy low-effort wedding decorations from the surrounding nature and architecture. Wooden, stone, and metal accents make the desert vegetation stand out, while also providing a simple backdrop to whatever wedding design you desire.

The Springs Preserve provides a range of options for your wedding ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, all with unique features to make getting married in Vegas an all-natural experience. If taking a break from the flashing lights sounds right for you, these botanical gardens are the perfect wedding venue option for the rustic couple.

Adventurous:

Helicopter Wedding with Sundance Helicopters

Take your vows off the Strip – and off the ground – with a Las Vegas helicopter wedding. Sundance Helicopters offers four Las Vegas wedding packages that include breathtaking aerial views of Nevada. Choose a simple City Lights flight that takes you over the Strip, or add to the majesty of your special day with desert sights of the Mojave Desert, Lake Mead, Grand Canyon, and more.

Soar on Cloud Nine on your wedding day by replacing red roses with a romantic red rock backdrop! Nothing compares to toasting your lifelong partner with champagne over one of Mother Nature’s most amazing creations. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is sure to create stunning wedding photos and memories that you and your sweetheart will cherish forever.

Planning Your NFL Championship Weekend in Vegas

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Dining in Las Vegas,  Events and Activities,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Special EventsPosted on

Football is in the air and we could not be more excited about the upcoming game day weekend. There’s absolutely no better time to plan your Big Game Day weekend in Las Vegas! Watch as two of the best football teams compete for the ultimate win in the comfort of your own suite, at one of Vegas’ best sports books, or with a beer in hand. No matter what you choose, this big sports weekend (February 4th to be exact) is always a hit in the Entertainment Capital of the World.

If you’re ready to plan out your NFL Championship weekend, then we’ve got you covered with a full itinerary of where to watch the game, what to snack on, and the best spots to kick back and relax.

Where to Watch the Game

The NFL Championship is the biggest game of the season and will feature not only great football, but great entertainment. Justin Timberlake will be hosting the halftime show, Pink will sing the National Anthem, and we already know there will be plenty of glitz and glam thrown in. So where should you watch all the excitement?

Best Sports Books

-The Bellagio – The Bellagio is known for its luxury and comfort, but did you also know that their sports book is one of the most popular in Las Vegas? If you want to get away from some of the weekend rush, step into the upscale hotel-casino to place your bets in a more intimate setting. Get catered on hand and foot while you cheer on your team from the plush comfort of this Las Vegas staple.

-Green Valley Ranch – If you want to do the big weekend in true Vegas fashion, check out Green Valley Ranch, located a few minutes off the strip. This huge sports book has not one, not two, but more than 200 screens, including personal seats and over 30 plasma screen TVs. There’s also a VIP section for the high rollers, as well as incredible food and drinks.

-Westgate Las Vegas – Westgate is one of the original sports books in Vegas, dating back to 1986! It has set the standard for sports betting and features 30,000 square feet of entertainment space, 28 screens, and a massive 15 x 20 foot screen for viewing from all angles! Plus, it’s a bit off the strip, so you can avoid the major tourist rushes.

What to Eat

What’s football without snacks? The two go hand-in-hand and there’s no use doing the big game weekend without enjoying the delicious cuisine that Las Vegas has to offer!

-Last year, Umami Burger did a Big Game Bash, which included open bars, game day food, and special giveaways and this year will likely be something similar. The chic burger bar, beer garden, and sports book has it all for football fans and foodies alike.

-Like peanut butter and jelly, beer and football are BFFs. At Beer Park, you can enjoy both the game and the beautiful view from their rooftop patio, while also sipping on one of over 100 beer choices! This hot spot will also feature fun takes on game day classics, like chile verde nachos and mac and cheese egg rolls.

-Tahiti Village’s  17° South Booze & Bites features everything you need on game day, including wings, wide screen TVs and tropical island-inspired seating. Kick back, relax, and enjoy one of our many world-class food options. The stomach is the limit for this football party weekend!

Where to Stay

All this fun can get tiring! Start your NFL Championship weekend off right by picking the right place to stay. Las Vegas has many first rate hotel and suite options available for all.

–Caesars Palace is right in the center of the action on the strip and an iconic Las Vegas favorite. The hotel has food and drinks right there, meaning that after the game you can keep the party going!

-Tahiti Village features some of the most beautiful suites in the area and if you want to take your football weekend up a notch, look no further. Our Royal Tahitian, Bora Bora, and Moorea suites are all first-class and we feature vacation packages to make your trip about more than just cheering on a team.

Whether you’re a seasoned football fan or just here for the snacks, watching the Big Game in Las Vegas is an experience like no other. Whether you experience the rush of the stirp or take the party elsewhere, your NFL Championship weekend will certainly be one for the books.

The Ultimate Checklist for Planning the Perfect Vegas Wedding

Blog,  Las Vegas Events,  Special Events,  WeddingsPosted on

If you’re reading this, congratulations! Hopefully you and your soon-to-be-spouse are enjoying a blissful engagement and are preparing for your big day. Your head is likely already swimming with all the fun (and occasional stress) that goes into planning a wedding. Flowers, dresses, bridesmaids, the list goes on. Luckily, we have compiled the ultimate wedding planning  checklist for the perfect Vegas wedding. Las Vegas is a beautiful place to get married year-round and with some proactive planning, you can be sure to have the wedding of your dreams.

In thinking about everything you have to do for your wedding, let’s break your needs down into different time periods. Huffington Post and Wedding Paper Divas share that the most common engagement period is 13-18 months, so let’s get planning!

A Year or More Before the Wedding

After getting engaged, the first thing you’ll want to do is announce your engagement to family and friends! Let the well wishes roll in while you enjoy this exciting announcement.

The sooner the better for deciding on your wedding venue. Especially for a destination wedding like Las Vegas, venues fill up fast. No matter what you’re dreaming for your big day, Vegas has got you covered. You can get married at a golf resort, a flower garden, the desert, or even in a helicopter! For those that want to stick with more of a traditional vibe, Tahiti Village in Las Vegas offers a number of venues for weddings of all sizes.

In addition to booking your venue, consider the following about a year before the wedding:

-The size
-The date and time
-The style of ceremony (white tie affair, casual backyard get together)
-Who will officiate
-Your (rough) guest list
-Establish your wedding budget with your partner

Hopefully a year out, you have your date and venue picked out. Next, dive into the details.

Ten Months Before the Wedding

Depending on your venue, you may have some of this planning already covered. Many spots will have their own caterers, decorations, resources, and more. But if not, ten months before the wedding you should:

-Consider your food and drinks (open bar, ticket bar, just wine and beer, etc.)
-Decide on your entertainment (DJ, live music, etc.)
-Think about the decor/color scheme
-Decide on your wedding party
-Research wedding professionals, including a photographer, videographer, DJ, florist, cake designer, and others
-Set up your registry and wedding website
-Research rentals (tables, chairs, china, etc.)
-Book suites for out-of-town guests
-Buy your wedding dress

When it comes to wedding planning, the devil is in the details. If you think you can handle it all on your own, go for it! But you may also consider hiring a wedding planner, especially as the date gets closer. You could even enlist the help of friends and family (they don’t call them bridesMAIDs for nothing!).

Six Months Before the Wedding

By now, you should have a good idea of the guest list, have announced your wedding party, have your dress ordered, have your venue booked, and all major details like food and drinks should be locked down. It’s almost time to party! About six months before your wedding, you should:

-Book all professionals
-Order bridesmaid dresses
-Start planning your honeymoon
-Send out Save the Dates
-Order wedding rings
-Shop for tuxedos if needed

Especially for a Las Vegas destination wedding, make sure you send out your Save the Dates with enough time to allow guests to book their accommodations. More likely than not, they’re going to make a little vacation out of your wedding weekend, so give them time to plan their trip, too!

Three Months Before the Wedding

The nerves are getting real! It’s almost time to walk down the aisle and you almost have everything set. During this phase in your wedding planning checklist, the most important things to do are:

-Send out invitations
-Book hair and makeup artists for you and your bridal party
-Write your vows
-Apply for a marriage license (depending on the state, this timeline may differ)

One Month Before the Wedding

Now’s the time to get any last-minute things checked off your list before your short-term wedding planner or bridal party takes over! Make sure to:

-Write your vows, if you’re writing your own
-Get your final dress fitting
-Make sure your wedding party has all their outfits ready
-Confirm the details with vendors, including a final head count

The Week of and the Day of the Wedding

Hopefully, with adequate planning you can sit back and relax the week before your wedding. Make sure to loop in any helpers and have them take care of the final details, like:

-Going through a practice run of the wedding processional and recessional during the rehearsal day/dinner
-Paying wedding professionals
-Getting everything ready for the ceremony, including all decor
-Setting up
-Picking up the cake

And finally, after all that preparation, it’s time to say “I do”! Enjoy your big day and all the hard work and love it took you to get to this moment, bask in newlywed bliss (and get used to saying “husband” or “wife”!), and enjoy the last moments of your Las Vegas wedding!

Magician Seth Grabel to make official Tahiti Village debut this Sunday afternoon. It’s interactive! It’s early! It’s kid friendly!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Events and Activities,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Special EventsPosted on

Last Sunday, in a rehearsal performance a week before his official Tahiti Village debut on Jan. 14, magician Seth Grabel wowed a roomful of invited employees and their guests with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of sleight of hand trickery, astonishing utensil manipulation, mindboggling levitation, and dexterous card virtuosity.

He was also incredibly funny and engaging.

I was in the audience and can say, without reservation, that Seth’s sheer magic mastery compares with any Strip magician I’ve seen, and he surpasses them all where audience interaction, participation and fun are concerned. Seth never lacked for willing human props, and if they experienced any initial trepidation, he quickly put them at ease with madcap question and answer ventriloquism and subsequently blew their minds with incredible how-did-he- do-that artistry.

Watching him live, it is easy to see how Seth was an America’s Got Talent semifinalist and a guest on numerous other TV shows, including Animal Planet, EXTRA, and E! Seth’s show is decidedly family-friendly (the kids in the audience were completely captivated) and, with a 4 p.m. start, it’s a great way to begin your evening in Las Vegas.

If you’re staying at Tahiti Village this weekend, or you live in Las Vegas and want to get out of the house on a Sunday afternoon, I wholeheartedly recommend taking in the Seth Grabel show inside the second floor Kahiko Room above Denny’s. Doors open at 3:30.

Tickets are available at the concierge desk in the main lobby or by calling (702) 440-6915. Get some before they disappear!
