The last long weekend of summer comes to a close at Tahiti Village with an abundance of enjoyable poolside activities and a special luau to benefit Three Square foodbank of Southern Nevada.

The fun starts at 1 p.m. Saturday at our tropical beach pool with a DJ playing tunes till 5 p.m. and Mermaid CaySea entertaining our younger guests from 1-2 p.m. CaySea will also lend her face painting talents from 2-5 p.m. At 6 p.m. singer-guitarist Nick Mattera from our weekly Acoustics & Ale show takes over for a full two hours of unplugged bliss.

On Sunday both the DJ and Nick Mattera return for another round of poolside entertainment. There will also be games, prizes and more on both days as well as Sno-Cones from 3-5 p.m. in our Manihi Isle, the long stretch of green between the pool and the lazy river.

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. For every person on social media who shares the live-stream event from our Facebook page, we will donate one meal to Three Square up to 10,000 meals to help feed hungry children in the Las Vegas area. As always, the show begins at 7 p.m. and features wonderful entertainment and delicious cuisine.

Las Vegas radio station 104.3NowFM and DJ Supa James will be broadcasting remotely from our luau location, the beautiful Island Courtyard. Be sure to share our Facebook event to benefit Three Square and the hungry children of Southern Nevada.

This weekend we are also unveiling our new signature Tahiti Village drink, the Bacardi Dragon Berry Limónade. It will be available at the main pool bar and 17 South Booze & Bites starting Saturday. The Bacardi girls will also be pouring samples of this delicious new drink at the luau – yet another good reason to attend!

 

Bring on the heat! Summer is officially here with the arrival of our Weekly Sunday Luau!

Gorgeous girls in coconut bras! Daring fire twirlers! A guy with a ukulele! Our signature summer event, the popular Sunday Luau, is back for another great season beginning Sunday, May 27. Join us in our spacious Island Courtyard every Sunday all summer long for a great evening of entertainment from Hot Lava. New to the luau for 2018 is a rotating menu of Island-inspired cuisine from Chef Jason – you’ll never have the same thing twice (or at least not two weeks in row!) – and a new luau drink menu sponsored by Bacardi and Red Bull.

As always, 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!

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Dinner begins at 7 p.m. with the show to follow. 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 Tahiti Village main lobby.

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

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!

Horses racing in a past Kentucky Derby.

Kentucky Derby, Vegas Style

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas EventsPosted on

It’s finally springtime in the desert, and with the spring season comes many activities and events that we’ve been waiting for. One of the most popular and anticipated May sporting events is the Kentucky Derby, held on the first Saturday of May! Known as America’s favorite race, the Kentucky Derby is a national spectacular. The race dates back to 1872 and has secured itself not just as a sporting event, but as a celebration of Southern culture and American pride. Even though the Kentucky Derby is held across the country in, well, Kentucky, Las Vegas still knows how to celebrate this great American sport.

Read on to learn more about where you can place your bets, enjoy a mint julep, and cheer on your favorite horse (ladies, don’t forget your hats!). Get ready for the best and fastest two minutes in sports, because the races are in town!

Lagasse’s Stadium

Located at The Palazzo, Lagasse’s Stadium has changed the definition of “sports bar” in Las Vegas. Not only is this location a sportsbook, but it’s also a restaurant and entertainment mecca. As you enter this luxurious stadium-style bar, you’re greeted by roughly 100 HD televisions and top-notch seating designed for your ultimate viewing pleasure. Enjoy the Kentucky Derby to the fullest with food, drinks, and fun.

The stadium menu is filled with a variety of dishes created by Chef Emeril and no matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong with these delicious choices! Choose an appetizer like chicken wings, Bavarian pretzels, or spinach and artichoke dip from the tailgating section, or dive right into main courses like baby back ribs, char-grilled ribeye steak, and much more. In previous years, Lagasse’s Stadium has hosted special viewing parties in their ultimate sports haven, equipt with food and drink specials. There’s no telling what they have up their sleeve this year, but we’re certain that it’s nothing short of spectacular!

The D Hotel & Casino

Our next Kentucky Derby hub is located in Downtown Las Vegas. The D Hotel & Casino is located in the heart of Fremont Street and impossible to miss. Not only does the D have an amazing vibe, but it has a variety of bars where you can watch the race. After grabbing a beer or cocktail at LongBar, make your way to the Vintage Vegas section located on the 2nd level of the casino and enjoy the classic Sigma Derby game or indulge in the new and improved Fortune Cup Mechanical Horse Racing. To pre-game the real race, cheer on your mechanical horses before routing for your Kentucky Derby horse! The D Hotel & Casino has you covered when it comes to your favorite pastimes as the Downtown Las Vegas sports hub.

Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge

Looking for the perfect mix of food and drinks in the ultimate social setting? Look no further than Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge, located inside Town Square at the south end of the Strip. Since putting down roots in 2011, Double Helix has introduced a variety of tapas dishes, an unforgettable patio atmosphere equipped with firepits, and a fun and carefree vibe for tourists and locals alike. Although this Las Vegas bar only has a few televisions scattered throughout the lounge, they make up for it with plenty of whiskey! So, grab a glass of bourbon (we recommend Woodford Reserve) and enjoy the Kentucky Derby with new friends at this unique and lively Las Vegas lounge.

Beer Park

Another great location to enjoy sports, drinks, and Vegas fun is Beer Park, the rooftop bar located at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Here, you can enjoy a view of the Strip and Bellagio Fountains, games, derby-themed cocktails, and racing! This year, Beer Park will be hosting a rooftop viewing party for all the Kentucky Derby watchers. Enjoy a mint julep bar all day, complimentary champagne thanks to Veuve Clicquot, and a special trumpet performance starting at 9am on May 5th. Not only can you enjoy the horse race from dozen of HD televisions, viewable from every seat, but you can also partake in live betting at the Beer Park’s in-house sportsbook. Beer Park also encourages viewers to take part in the Kentucky Derby’s classic attire (cue big floppy hats and leisure suits!) for the ultimate horse racing day.

Tahiti Village

Don’t forget to enjoy the Kentucky Derby from your own personal beach vacation. At 17° South Booze & Bites, viewers can grab a variety of delicious food while washing it down with a drink from the bar. Not only do they offer widescreen televisions throughout the venue and 24 beers on tap, but there’s also patio seating that overlooks the resort’s beach pool. So, let the kids enjoy the pool while you enjoy a Kentucky Derby cocktail.

Enjoy one of America’s greatest sporting events in the Entertainment Capital of the World and learn how to celebrate the Kentucky Derby Vegas style. With so many sportsbooks and viewing parties in town, you’ll have a good time no matter where you post up on the first Saturday of May.

Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas EventsPosted on

Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest holidays in Las Vegas and the full-on fiesta will be here before we know it! There’s no time to waste, so we have gathered all of the best places you can find tequila, tacos and a good time on Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas. Trust us, you won’t want to miss these top celebration spots. Salud!

In it for the Tequila

We probably don’t have to tell you that Sin City is the place to be this May 5th. Below are some of the hottest parties throughout the city:

Sin de Mayo

No one said that Cinco de Mayo could only be one day. Luxor Resort is hosting a 4-day/3-night Las Vegas extravaganza to celebrate the weekend in style. Your $50 ticket includes a 3-night stay at Luxor Las Vegas, a chartered party bus with open bar, entry into two of the day’s biggest pool parties, a VIP Happy Half Hour on The High Roller, a machine gun experience (fire machine guns at a Vegas-lounge styled gun range), tickets to the “Sexy de Mayo” party at Tacos & Tequila, and a Sunday Funday at one of Luxor’s pools.

Cinco de Mayo Las Vegas Club Crawl

See some of the best entertainment that Las Vegas has to offer at the Cinco de Mayo Club Crawl. Tickets include transportation to four venues (including bars, lounges, and nightclubs), drink specials, VIP express entry (hint: no covers!), drinking games, and a private host.

Cinco de Mayo Fremont Street Bar Crawl

Led by the same hosts as the Club Crawl, the Cinco de Mayo Fremont Street Bar Crawl is definitely going to be the ultimate fiesta. Starting at 7pm, the party will go all night and tickets are only $15 for one person or $25 for two. Tickets include VIP entry access to four of the best venues Downtown, complimentary cover fees, your own party host, and exclusive drink specials. Bring the whole squad to Mickie Finnz to kick off the fun (peek the whole bar lineup the week before the event)!

Tacos or Tequila? Have Both!

Create your own bar crawl throughout Las Vegas by stopping at some local favorites! Whether you’re hoping to score some great taco deals, sip a margarita on the rocks, or enjoy live music, the Entertainment Capital of the World has you covered. Some of our favorite Cinco de Mayo picks include:

1 – Mariscos Playa Escondida – This hidden gem is off the Strip and a favorite among visitors and locals, alike. Just wait until you try their seafood platter, which features the best choices on the menu, all in one spot. Chow down on shrimp cooked three ways, crab, scallops, and fish. Mariscos Playa Escondida takes the Mexican classics up a notch.

2 – El Sombrero Mexican Bistro – Fresh roasted salsas, tortillas made daily, and homemade sauces and soups, need we say more? El Sombrero is a delicious take on Mexican classics and is known for their chile verde pork tenderloin, ancho chile ribeye, and unique seafood dishes. Plus, the extensive list of cocktails, wines, beers, and margaritas doesn’t hurt!

3 – Casa Don Juan – Casa Don Juan might be the best Mexican food that Las Vegas has to offer. They understand that no two guests are the same and customize the dining experience for anyone who walks through their doors. The whole team has an “all-consuming passion to create delicious food and extend impeccable service”. Try Casa Don Juan for brunch because they have every huevo (egg) dish you can think of, from huevos rancheros to huevos with cactus!

4 – Tacos Huevos – “Viva la revolución” at Tacos Huevos! The Mexican food revolution, that is. Tacos Huevos believes that subtle infusions in Mexican food can have a profound impact and the restaurant offers a new perspective on breakfast, brunch, and brinner (breakfast/dinner) with unique, quick-serve cuisine. End the days of boring breakfast and drunken Taco Bell runs!

5 – Nacho Daddy – There’s “never a dry chip” at Nacho Daddy in Las Vegas. Try the Lobster & Crab Nachos, the Thai Chicken Nachos, the Filet Mignon Nachos, and many more at this world-class Mexican-inspired spot. Plus, their award-winning margarita has been voted the Best of Las Vegas for two years running!

6 – Cabo Wabo Cantina – Cabo Wabo Cantina at Planet Hollywood is perfect for Cinco de Mayo. Enjoy their Tex-Mex Cuisine paired with plenty of tequila on the Strip-side patio. And thanks to the Cabo San Lucas-inspired vibe, you’ll feel like you’re on the warm, sunny beaches of Mexico in no time.

7 – Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville – Margaritaville at the Flamingo is always a fun time, but it’s even better on this Mexican holiday. They even have a three-story Volcano Bar that erupts margarita mix into 300 gallon blenders every hour. Dance to some Jimmy Buffett hits and live entertainment while enjoying your food and drinks. If that doesn’t sound like a fiesta, we don’t know what does.

8 – 17° South Booze and Bites – You can find delicious nachos and quesadillas right here at Tahiti Village in our very own 17° South Booze and Bites. Secure a room at Tahiti Village today and you won’t even have to leave the resort for your Cinco De Mayo fiesta.

No Ocean, No Problem: Why a Beach Resort is the Way to Vacation in Vegas

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Events and Activities,  Las Vegas Activities,  Pool and Lazy RiverPosted on

Las Vegas may be located in landlocked Nevada, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a beach – Las Vegas beach resorts, that is! While there’s not technically an ocean in the middle of our desert city, that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the benefits of one. At Tahiti Village Resort & Spa, we channel our inner islanders to bring you a beach vacation, right here in Las Vegas.

Visit an Island Paradise

Our island-inspired oasis is just 10 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip, but feels worlds away. Locals love Vegas for its sunshine, so heading to the “beach” is the perfect escape. Our amenities will help you stay cool, relaxed, and pampered along with activities for the whole family to enjoy! Our Tahitian-themed pool area is unlike any other and offers a piece of paradise for everyone.

So what makes Tahiti’s pool so different? First off, in addition to our highly-acclaimed pool, we also have an amazing lazy river where guests can float around in relaxation. Our over 1-acre pool area is complemented by a sandy beach and alluring waterfalls, which will transport you right to the islands of Tahiti (without even leaving the hotel!). We have pool activities, including luaus, pool volleyball, concerts, and more. Whether you want to kick back and float down the lazy river or get your water sport on, there’s fun here for everyone.

An Inclusive Resort

If you’re channeling your inner beach bum and don’t want to venture far from the hotel, Tahiti Village Resort & Spa has everything you need. Overlooking the pool is 17° South Booze & Bites, the perfect place to grab a quick bite during your day at the pool (or treat yourself to a full entree with family and friends!). We have everything from house made nachos and perfectly cooked chicken wings to slow cooked ribs and Atlantic salmon.

In addition to food, we also have our luxurious Mahana Spa, a first-class fitness center, convenient resort services, and much more for guests to enjoy!

Plan Your Las Vegas Beach Vacation

It’s ironic that while Las Vegas isn’t known for beaches, you can plan the perfect resort getaway at one of the city’s many pools and beach clubs! In addition to Tahiti Village, here are a few of the coolest picks to escape the heat:

-Hard Rock Hotel Beach Club – Not only does Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas have an amazing pool, but they are also home to Rehab, one of the city’s best pool party venues. Guests can experience the whole beach vibe with real sand and beach-like designs! And, take the party up a notch by renting a private cabana for you and your squad.

-Mandalay Bay Beach – Mandalay Bay Beach is over 11 acres and has a wave machine in their pool to stimulate the crashing waves of the ocean. There are over 100 cabanas, day beds, and beach bungalows available for reservation. Plus, get your game on at the beach casino!

-TAO Beach – Like Tahiti Village, this pseudo-beach is inspired by tropical paradise, but TAO channels Bali and its beautiful beaches! The lush landscape and live DJs create the perfect atmosphere for a beach party this side of the Pacific.

So you’ve got the venue and the accommodations, what else should you plan for? When heading to Vegas in the spring and summer months for your beach getaway, take the following into consideration:

1.Vegas gets hot in the summer, so make sure to stay hydrated (especially if you’re drinking!). To avoid dehydration, drink at least one glass of water for every alcoholic drink.

2.Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! The Vegas sun is powerful and there’s no party pooper quite like a bad sunburn. Remember to reapply every 2 hours, or even more often if you’re in the water. You should also consider bringing a waterproof sunscreen for an extra step of protection.

3.If you’re planning on booking a private beach cabana, you’ll have your shade taken care of, but otherwise pack something that can protect you from the sun after a long day out. This could be a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, or even an umbrella. At the major pool parties, shade is limited. But at Tahiti Village, you have a better chance of snagging a shaded poolside spot!

Las Vegas is so beautiful in the summer, and it’s even more refreshing if you plan a beach getaway in this desert city. Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or live here full time, a little sunshine and tropical vibes never hurt anyone!

How to Spend Your Extra Hour of Evening Sun in Vegas

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Family Friendly,  Las Vegas Activities,  Pool and Lazy River,  ReservationsPosted on

We probably can’t complain about lack of sunshine in Las Vegas, but even so, springing our clocks forward on March 11th and getting an extra hour of daylight is something to be celebrated. How are you going to spend your extra hour of evening? In a city jam-packed with activities and entertainment, the Las Vegas outdoor attractions are endless.

Here are some of the best ways to spend your extra evening hour in Vegas:

Dine and Drink Outdoors

Enjoy the extra hour of sunshine by indulging in food and a couple drinks al fresco. There’s nothing like feeling the sunshine on your skin while you enjoy some delicious snacks and libations. The gorgeous Vegas afternoons, now elongated by the time change, present the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy a meal with loved ones. One of the best al fresco patios in Vegas is 17° South Booze & Bites at Tahiti Village. Decadent starters like Calamari and Spinach Cheese Dip lead the way into an indulgent outdoor meal in Las Vegas. Favorite entrees include Steak Frites, Atlantic Salmon Filet, and Slow Cooked Ribs. Wash that down with a signature cocktail like the Chocotini or the Manhattan and you’re sure to kick Spring off with a bang!

Explore the Grand Canyon

One of the best perks of visiting or living in Las Vegas is the close proximity of the Grand Canyon and a longer day means more opportunity to appreciate its beauty! Take advantage of the convenient location and go explore! Whether you like to sit back and take in the views or partake in some canyon adventuring, there is a Grand Canyon activity for you. Boating, hiking, observing, walking, rock climbing, and even riding in a helicopter are all options. If you’re interested in having someone guide you through, visit Grand Canyon Tour Company. Knowledgeable experts with extensive Grand Canyon experience will lead the way as you take in the magnificence of this world-famous attraction.

Watch the Sunset from Above

Vegas sunsets are beautiful and the longer days give you more time to make an activity of watching them. Want to go on a hike or walk after work to get the perfect view? Go ahead. Always wanted to catch a ride on the High Roller in time to see those gorgeous colors? Now you can! Daylight saving gives you the opportunity to experience the desert sunsets as they’re meant to be experienced. To catch the sun setting on the city from above, head over to the High Roller observation wheel. Each ride takes about 30 minutes, so if you time your boarding right you’ll catch the sunset at the very top.

Peruse Outdoor Markets

Forgo the grocery store and pick up your market necessities at one of Vegas’ farmers markets. Many people choose to shop at farmers markets instead of conventional grocery stores because the produce is extra fresh and it’s an outing in itself. You’ll find ready-to-eat meals, groceries, services, and goods. Bring your family and friends and say goodbye to stuffy, corporate grocery stores. Favorite Vegas farmers markets include the Downtown 3rd Farmers Market, Fresh52 Farmers and Artisan Market, and the Downtown Summerlin Farmers Market.

Walk and Hike

Though most think of Vegas as a flat desert, there are plenty of walking and hiking opportunities in and around this desert city. Take advantage of the extra hours of sunlight by getting outside and being active. You’ll notice both physical and mental benefits, including a boosted mood, stronger body, and less stress. If you’re more the walking type, check out the parks and botanical gardens at Springs Preserve. If hiking’s more your thing, check out the trails at Mount Charleston!

Lounge by the Pool

Of course, no Vegas afternoon would be complete without lounging by the pool. Daylight saving time gives you an extra hour to sit back and enjoy one of the best Las Vegas outdoor activities. A favorite pool for both locals and visitors is the Las Vegas Pool and Lazy River Complex at Tahiti Village. Spend your extra hour of sunshine moseying along the lazy river or sipping on a cocktail in a lounge chair. The options are endless when it comes to having a good time at the pool.

There are plenty of activities in Vegas that make an extra hour of sunshine worthy of excitement. As March 11th approaches, think about what you’d like to get out of the extra time in the day. There’s sure to be a Vegas offering that’s just waiting to exceed your expectations!
