Gorgeous girls in coconut bras! Daring fire twirlers! A guy with a ukulele! Our Summer Sunday Luau Returns May 28!

Our signature summer event, the weekly Sunday luau, is a treat for the senses that divides along sight (attractive island dancers), sound (authentic Polynesian music) and taste (tempting tropical cuisine). This year’s luau, which begins another big season on May 28 here at Tahiti Village, is once again noteworthy for all three.

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!

This year’s Tahiti Village luau will have you saying “Hana Hou!”  Translation: One more time!

Join us every Sunday all summer long in our beautiful Island Courtyard for wonderful entertainment and a delicious Tahitian buffet. Doors open 6:30 p.m. Dinner begins at 7 p.m. Show to follow. Leis provided. Tropical shirts optional.

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 main lobby. We hope to see you here!

The hunt for hidden Easter candy commences this Sunday morning at Tahiti Village

Young treasure seekers will scramble for hidden goodies at our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 16. The event goes from 9-10:30 a.m. and will begin with a meetup at the Island Courtyard. Children 12 and under will hunt in Manihi Isle, while those 13 and over will search the lazy river. More than 3,000 candy-filled plastic eggs will be there for the taking. Bags will be provided.

“This is our most well-attended event,” said Tara Steininger, Tahiti Village activities director. “We’re forecasting 350-500 participants this year. We had 375 last year.”

Following the hunt, participants will return to the Island Courtyard for music, crafts, games, and a jelly bean guessing contest. This a wonderful activity for the entire family.

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

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!

It was “busyness” as usual at Tahiti Village in 2016

It has been an eventful year here at Tahiti Village, with numerous projects contributing to the value and beautification of your home resort.

January saw the completion of Phase II of our multimillion-dollar guest unit enhancement. Taken together with Phase I, which brought new flooring, carpeting, and sofa sleepers to all rooms, the addition of new furniture, lamps, bedding, and artwork will have us looking great for years to come.

The first month of 2016 also saw us begin work on our vacant lot beautification project, which resulted most significantly in the May opening of Manihi Isle. The land between the main pool and lazy river, for so long a fenced off stretch of dirt and rock, is now a tranquil gathering spot with green grass, fresh flowers, and lounge chairs.

Fresh coats of paint to all fences, carports, gates, and guest room interiors completed our January tasks.

In March we embarked on a major landscaping refresher and replacement, and in May we installed garage fencing and a fencing extension atop the Manor Suites wall.

The July launch of our new online store meant you could buy as much Tahiti Village gear as you like, wherever you were.

After a delay, dining room tabletops finally arrived in August and were promptly installed in the Bora Bora units. They can take anything you dish out!

Finally, in November, we installed SALTO lock systems on all exterior gates, including the pool area and lazy river. This state-of-the-art, wire-free Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is much more reliable than the old mag-stripe keycards. Best of all, the key won’t demagnetize if it comes into contact with your cell phone.

Thanks again for being part of the Tahiti Village family. We truly value your ownership and hope to see you in 2017. Happy New Year!

 

Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle While on Vacation

Eating healthy… Exercising… Staying hydrated – all while on your Vegas vacation? Does this sound like a recipe for a dull, monotonous jaunt away from home? Or, are these smart ways that can help us feel good and maintain a healthy lifestyle while on vacation?

For many travelers, a vacation equals a guilt-free experience that involves buffet lines, ice cream shops, or bars with any thoughts about healthy eating and exercise frequently left at home. But it doesn’t have to be like this. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll find that keeping healthy while traveling is quite easy.

Healthy Eating

When it comes to managing your health while on vacation, what you put into your system is one of the main considerations. If you’re traveling to Las Vegas and think that the only options are buffets or unhealthy restaurants, think again. You can find healthy eats at 17° South Booze & Bites at Tahiti Village. Lean sirloin steak, crisp, green salads, and other healthy options are expertly prepared and will leave you feeling satisfied without the extra calories.

Or, head over to SkinnyFats – an innovative restaurant whose menu features half “skinny” choices and half “fat” choices. This option allows you to cater to anyone in the group. You can also try EATT, a new dining spot that delivers a healthier take on French food, located in the West Valley.

The bottom line is: there are numerous options, if you’re looking to dine out without resorting to unhealthy choices or over-the-top buffets. One way to minimize the intake of “bad foods” is to follow the rule of never eating two bad meals in a row. Follow a heavier meal with a salad or smoothie instead of another calorie-laden option.

Move Around

Though you can take cabs, shuttles, monorails, and more around Las Vegas, try to move as much as possible. You can preemptively burn off calories by heading to the pool and taking an early morning swim, then head over to the in-resort fitness center to do some lightweight training. You’ll not only feel great after a quick workout or walk around the city, but you’ll be less likely to want to counteract your exercise by eating poorly. Find a resort that offers a pool and fitness center to help you stay active.

Relax and Rejuvenate

After your exercise, there’s no better way to unwind than getting a massage at the spa. Tahiti Village’s Mahana Spa offers a variety of massage packages, including Tahitian hot stones, aromatherapy, deep tissue massage, and the signature Mahana relaxation massage. And, of course, no spa visit is complete without getting a facial as well. All of Mahana Spa’s facial treatments are fully customizable for your skin’s unique needs.

Keep it Fun

Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t indulge. If you get off track, just make a healthier choice the next time around. It’s all about balance after all. Las Vegas is a city of fun and you won’t want to miss a moment.

How to plan your time off and boost your happiness

Research proves that Americans who take time to plan how they will use their vacation time in the year ahead are happier than those who do not. Simply having something to look forward to – like a trip to Tahiti Village! – improves your happiness. But nearly half of American households fail to take the simple step of planning their time off, a step that can be made much easier by having a timeshare.

Here are some simple steps from our friends at Vacation Better to make sure that you don’t make the mistake of not using all of your vacation time:

First, confirm your paid time off benefits. Don’t take someone else’s word for it, confirm what you have available by asking your manager or HR director. After this is accomplished, the next important step is to review your calendar for the year to see when you could actually take a vacation.

Now, the fun part: this is where your dreams and goals come in. What are you going to cross off your bucket list this year? Where have you been wanting to travel? What are you dying to try? You don’t necessarily need to know what you’ll do with every vacation day—just plan the days off now. Getting it on the calendar is what matters most.

Finally, it is time to talk with your boss and colleagues about your plans to take time off. But don’t be anxious: nearly all senior business leaders believe vacation time benefits their employees – and the company.

It’s time to stop feeling guilty about trying to take a vacation each year and remember there are many health and wellness benefits that come along with an annual vacation. You work hard all year, you deserve to have some well-earned, time off. With a timeshare you are ensuring that you take a vacation each year since it is already prepaid!

Do Some Retail Therapy at Grand Canal Shoppes

It’s not considered a night out unless a little splurging is involved. The best place to do some retail therapy is the Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian and The Palazzo.

With over 200 stores to choose from, it’s a shopaholic’s paradise. You’ll definitely find the perfect outfit and accessories for your night out. Need a brief break from shopping? Take a gondola ride inside the shopping mall to a scenic waterfall atrium and garden!

The mall includes many popular styles such as MAC, Sephora, ALDO, and bebe.

 

Keep it Light and Fresh for Dinner at Giada

If you’re looking for a light and refreshing dinner option, Giada at The Cromwell is the ideal choice for you. Owned by Emmy Award-winning celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, the restaurant serves classic Italian cuisine with a modern, Californian twist. Some of the must-try dishes include Marsala herb chicken meatballs, chicken cacciatore, and vegetable Bolognese rigatoni. Giada is also the first Italian restaurant on the Strip that features an antipasto and pizzetta station. Guests can eat in the dining room, lounge or on the outdoor patio which offers incredible views of the Bellagio fountains and Caesars Palace.

Performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Celine’s show features her biggest hits as well as a collection of timeless artists from all generations and genres. Some of these artists include Elvis, Billy Joel, Queen, and Prince. Celine performs with 31 onstage musicians including a five-piece horn section and a 16-piece string orchestra. It’s a show that you won’t soon forget!
