Beginner’s Guide to the Consumer Electronics Show

Blog,  Conventions,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

 

Welcome to 2019.

Here in Las Vegas, the new year heralds the arrival of the annual Consumer Electronics Show, the city’s largest convention. Beginning January 8, more than 150,000 attendees will gather here to get a look at – and salivate over – the latest gadgets, gizmos and technologies their makers hope will change the world.

If you’ve never attended this four-day techno fantasia, a showcase for nearly 4,000 companies displaying breakthrough technologies on more than 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space across 11 venues, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of it all, to be swept away on a tsunami of sensory overload.

To ensure that doesn’t happen, we scoured the internet for a best practices list for CES neophytes to follow. To be sure, we found page after page of seasoned pros proffering helpful tips to impressionable newbies, but it was an article from a 2018 newbie himself, Truong Nguyen, that proved to have just the right amount of practical suggestions and deft insight.

We present it here at the Tahiti Village blog for your enlightenment and edification.

Here are some tips I learned from my first trip to CES 2018. I hope it helps the planning process for first-time attendees.

  1. Arrive the day before the show starts and leave the day before it ends. This helps in avoiding crowds at the airport. Scope out the layout of the show floor and how to get places. The majority of the time you’ll be walking through casinos. Even for those with a great sense of direction, it’s challenging to navigate inside with rows after rows of slot machines. During rush hour, which really is 8 a.m. all the way to 5 p.m., you’re likely to move with the flow of the crowd. It’s easy to end up at the wrong place.
  2. Learn about the Monorail routes and book a hotel that has a stop. I found it to be the most convenient and affordable way to get around. Being located at either end of the Monorail can be an advantage. The majority of people get on and off at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the other stops in the middle of the Strip. The endpoints have less traffic.
  3. Wear comfortable shoes and travel light. There will be a lot of walking (several miles a day!) no matter how close your hotel is to the Convention Center. Events take place all over the Strip.
  4. Have a clear idea of what categories of products or list of companies you’d like to visit. Roaming the show floor to find cool/new products is a bad idea. I planned to visit only a handful of companies that had external graphics enclosures on display. AKiTiO was at a suite inside Bellagio. AORUS had a ballroom at Caesars Palace. ASUS hosted its products at the WYNN Hotel. Razer and Mantiz were the only two at the Las Vegas Convention Center. These five main stops essentially covered the entire length of the Strip.
  5. Last but not least, drink plenty of water. Also carry hand sanitizer and use it often.

Have a great time!

Nobody does New Year’s Eve like Las Vegas and Tahiti Village!

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

New Year’s Eve in a place like Las Vegas would seem almost beside the point if the city itself weren’t a testament to excess. Not enough neon? Hey, let’s set off some sky explosion! Like July 4th, New Year’s Eve brings out our redundant, over-the-top best, with a spectacular fireworks display closing the curtain on another year.

So how do you distinguish New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas from any other night? Not easily. We are a city for which New Year’s revelry is a daily occurrence in spirit if not fact, so in order to meet the expectations of 300,000 or so visitors hoping for an even greater adrenaline rush, we are obligated to up our game – if that’s possible.

Well guess what? It is! There are an abundance of New Year’s Eve festivities in Las Vegas, highlighted by an eight-minute midnight fireworks display above the Strip that is being touted as the largest anywhere in the country. If you’re staying at Tahiti Village over the holiday and looking for something to do on NYE, we invite you to attend our annual New Year’s Eve party.

We’re ringing in 2019 with a Rat Pack-themed celebration that evokes the classic days of Las Vegas when Frank, Dean and Sammy ruled the Strip like royalty. Join us Dec. 31 in our Sky View lounge for a wonderful New Year’s Eve bash featuring Rat Pack-style cocktails, music and decorations and a spectacular view of the midnight fireworks. We’ll also have enticing hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, dancing, a photo booth and party favors. One lucky guest will go home with a bottle of Sinatra Select Whiskey from Jack Daniel’s.

Our Sky View lounge, on the 10th floor of Tower 5, offers a magnificent, unimpeded view of the fireworks display from the Strip, which this year is touted as the nation’s largest. You’ll enjoy a complimentary champagne toast at midnight as we ring in 2019. The Tahiti Village New Year’s Eve party is one of the best bargains in Las Vegas, with tickets priced at $105 in advance and $125 at the door. To purchase, please see the concierge in the main lobby or call (702) 440-6915. We hope to see you here and wish you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2019!

Top Holiday Attractions in Las Vegas

Blog,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

As if the spectacular everyday attractions of Las Vegas aren’t enticing enough, along comes December and the city’s famed holiday offerings, giving you even more reasons to visit the entertainment capital of the world. With stimulating imagery (would you expect anything less?) and fun for the whole family, the holiday season brings Las Vegas to life in an entirely different way. If you are an adventurous Tahiti Village visitor who is willing to leave your Strip comfort zone, Las Vegas has wondrous holiday attractions throughout the city that should be on your must-see list.

Ethel M Chocolates Holiday Cactus Garden

Located in suburban Henderson, about 10 miles east of the Strip, Ethel M Chocolates Holiday Cactus Garden is one of Las Vegas’ favorite holiday attractions. The three-acre Botanical Cactus Garden, adjacent to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory, is a sight to behold during the holiday season and features more than one million lights. Open through January 1, 2018, the annual event is free to attend. Visit us on select nights for choir performances in the garden and photos with Santa!

 

The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

Each season, the enormously talented horticulturalists and designers who make up the Bellagio Conservatory team transform this 14,000-square-foot floral playground into a holiday showcase of the distinctive sights and colors. The holiday seasonal exhibit, titled “Majestic Holiday Magic,” features the return of Queen Bellisima, and will take guests on a journey into her enchanted icy kingdom. The south bed houses the queen’s favorite family of Polar bears, playing and welcoming guests as they walk enter the Conservatory. Towering at a height of 30’, the north bed features the queen’s castle, guarded by her majestic rotating soldiers. Lastly, the west bed holds the main attraction for this year. The holiday tree is a sight to behold, standing 42’ in height and 18’ in diameter, and is adorned with many beautiful ornaments. Next to the tree stands Queen Bellisima herself, wearing her holiday best. The queen is ready for the holiday season, and is excited to welcome guests into her enchanted kingdom through Jan. 6.

 

The Magical Forest at Opportunity Village

Celebrate the holidays with a cherished Southern Nevada tradition – the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village! The Magical Forest, approximately five miles west of the Strip, is filled with sparkling lights, nightly entertainment, great food and endless holiday cheer. Every year through Dec. 31 the grounds are transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring hundreds of trees lit with millions of bright LED lights and fun activities. Don’t miss it!

You’ll find fire pits, plenty of places to sit, and a menu of warm cocktails, comfort foods and hot chocolate. Snow showers fall every 30 minutes to complement the wintry holiday atmosphere. which also has a great view of the Las Vegas Strip. Admission ranges from $10-$20 and includes all-day skating access and skate rentals.

 

Holiday at the Park

During the holidays The Park transforms into Holiday at The Park, featuring ice skating, strolling carolers and holiday shops. The Park is a new area on the Las Vegas Strip that’s been created in the space around the new T-Mobile Arena, Park MGM, and New York-New York. For the holidays, The Park is decked out in dazzling lights and festive ornaments and features an 80-foot Christmas tree. Holiday at The Park is open daily until Jan. 7. Admission is free.

Mystic Falls Park Light and Water Show

Every year Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, approximately 12 miles east of the Strip on Boulder Highway, transforms its pioneer-themed Mystic Falls Park Light and Water Show into a Winter Wonderland experience. The holiday display gives visitors a peek inside Santa’s workshop, where the elves are busy making toys and loading the sleigh. A nine-minute holiday laser light show features classic holiday tunes and runs daily every hour from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Cowboy Santa will be in the Park’s gazebo on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on weekends from noon to 8:30 p.m. through Friday, December 23, 2017.

 

Downtown Countdown

The Downtown Countdown fills Fremont Street with music and entertainment beginning in the early afternoon on New Year’s Eve and continuing into the wee hours.

 

New Year’s Eve on the Strip

Each year more than 300,000 people gather on the Las Vegas Strip to celebrate the new year with a massive block party that culminates in a spectacular midnight fireworks display set off of the top of casinos up and down the Strip.

The most family friendly shows in Las Vegas

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

One of the natural byproducts of Las Vegas’ evolution from an adult playground to a family destination has been the advent of shows both children and their parents can enjoy. The Cirque du spectaculars, magic acts and miscellaneous G-rated fare that began appearing in the early `90s, cautiously at first, are now ubiquitous, rendering the previously prolific indigenous species – the Las Vegas showgirl – all but extinct.

So now you’ve decided to bring the kids with you to Las Vegas. You want to see a show with them but don’t want to worry about the sudden unexpected appearance of a leftover Lido lady flashing a body part best left covered.  Guess what? We’ve got you covered.

From an embarrassment of riches we’ve pared down the kid-friendliest shows in Las Vegas to help you make the best possible choice. Read on!

Popovich Pet Comedy Theater
Planet Hollywood

Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater features dogs and cats (plus doves and other small critters – more than 30 animals in all) acting out skits such as passengers boarding a train, students sitting in a classroom or patients waiting for a doctor.

A graduate of the Moscow Circus School and a fifth-generation circus performer, Popovich juggles, jumps rope and performs a host of other big top-style tricks. He has rescued these animals from shelters all over the country and has transformed them into Las Vegas stars.

Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater is a must-see for young animal lovers.

Terry Fator
The Mirage

As a successful headliner on the Las Vegas Strip, Terry Fator captures the hearts and funny bones of audiences from around the world. Backed by actual live musicians, Fator wows audiences nightly with singing, comedy and unparalleled celebrity impressions. The America‘s Got Talent winner brings to life a hilarious range of characters, including Winston, the impersonating turtle; Emma Taylor, the little girl with the big voice; and lounge singer Monty Carlo. With comedic banter and amazing vocal impressions of musical superstars such as Garth Brooks, Dean Martin, Aretha Franklin, Lady Gaga and more, Terry Fator: The Voice of Entertainment is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Tournament of Kings
Excalibur

When you arrive at this dinner show inside the castle-shaped Excalibur, you’ll be seated in sections that represent a “country.” Throughout the production, Merlin and a court jester will urge you to cheer for your native knight as he takes on rivals from other lands in challenges like jousting, sword fighting, racing and gladiator combat.

The evil Mordred tries to capture King Arthur’s kingdom, but the countries unite to fight against him.

At Tournament of Kings, you’ll eat Cornish hen, steamed veggies and biscuits, with sweet pastry for dessert. Just like lords and ladies did in the Middle Ages, you’ll have to eat with your hands. But it’s okay to slurp your first course, “dragon’s blood” (tomato soup). Juice and soda will be served, along with grown-up drinks.

Blue Man Group
Luxor

This show takes on big issues like brain function, groupthink and artificial intelligence, but the three silent stars, dressed in black and earless in alien blue, are childlike in their naivete and curiosity.

The characters stuff their mouths full of marshmallows, play with giant iPhones and crawl over the theater seats rooting through guests’ belongings. At the end of the production, enormous beach balls float through the theater, and audience members can’t help but punch and shove them in slow motion.

This show is noticeably loud. It’s full of dance-worthy original music (including a finale with lyrics that rattle off silly nicknames for your butt) featuring Blue Man Group’s signature invented instruments.

Mystere
Treasure Island

If you’re looking to take in a high-end show with the whole family, think about Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère, the granddaddy of all Las Vegas family shows. Now in its 26th year, the show delivers the thrill of the circus and features amazing acts that will dazzle and delight kids of all ages.

Among the acts is a two-man tandem that strikes gravity-defying poses in a hand-to-hand balancing routine, an aerialist who twists and turns to create optical illusions with two suspended lengths of fabric, and a group of gymnasts who flip and climb around four vertical poles.

This show has no age restriction, but may not be ideal for children who don’t like clowns. One who acts as an usher rounds out Mystère with good humor, and colorful, imaginative costumes add to the rainbow of spectacle in this classic Las Vegas spectacular.

Jabbawockeez
MGM Grand

Adults got to know this team of masked performers when it won the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew. With a new show based on color and light, Jabbawockeez is set to draw in a new crowd of fans.

Teens who love music with a good beat will get into this production, but younger kids will love the dancers’ pantomimed storytelling set to popular and original music and framed in bright primary colors.

Though there are funny segments meant to make grownups laugh, most of show is about two characters – one dressed in black and one in white – discovering balance and friendship by exploring the color spectrum.

Jeff Civillico
Paris in Las Vegas

Jeff Civillico’s intractable enthusiasm endears him to children 8 to 80. A master juggler with a gift for comedy, he eagerly welcomes kids’ participation in his acts and is always ready with a one-liner to keep their folks laughing.

Civillico’s “Comedy in Action” show never stops moving. Children (and grownups with childlike senses of humor) will fall head over heels for his zany persona and laugh out loud when he pulls out signature moves like his high side kick and dramatic wedgie removal.

Summer Sunday Luau
Tahiti Village

Can you blame us for including our own show? Our popular Summer Sunday Luau runs from May to Labor Day weekend and offers authentic Polynesian-style food and great entertainment for the entire family every Sunday evening at Tahiti Village all summer long.

Book a visit to Tahiti Village and suffer no more from Guilty Vacation Syndrome!

The lazy river at Tahiti Village is one of our cures for Guilty Vacation Syndrome.

Are you suffering from Guilty Vacation Syndrome, the nagging urge to cancel or delay vacations due to guilt? Based on the results of a recent family vacation survey, you probably are. It is especially likely if you’re a Millennial, 59 percent of which report feeling ashamed for taking or planning a vacation in a time when vacation-shaming in offices nationwide and around the word is growing at an unprecedented rate.

Of those 59 percent that reported having unused paid vacation days, 40 percent said they left five or more vacation days unused because they did not want to deal with the guilt associated with taking a vacation.

Neither are older individuals immune from the guilt. In the same survey, 41 percent of individuals 35 and older felt the same symptoms of Guilty Vacation Syndrome, or GVS. Symptoms (misplaced emotions, indecisiveness, sadness) often go undetected or are mistaken for other, less serious ailments. GVS can also have the ironic side effect impacting your work productivity.

Recent research also shows that an astounding 55 percent of Americans didn’t use all of their time off in 2015, and 65 percent say that their company discourages, sends mixed messages, or says nothing about taking personal time off.

With vacation-shaming growing in offices across the world, there has been a surge in diagnoses of GVS. Many feel that despite wanting a vacation, they shouldn’t take one.

Proven remedies for GVS include:

Realizing that vacations are a necessity and not a luxury.

Commit to an annual vacation—a recipe for stronger ties with families and friends, less stress and better health.

Learning from those that have never suffered from this malady (specifically, timeshare owners who have continued to make vacations a priority).

It’s proven that one to two weeks away from the daily routine leads to better job performance and productivity—perhaps helping to make your job even more secure when you return to it.

Our advice? Book a visit to Tahiti Village as soon as you can. Las Vegas is a number-one doctor-recommended cure for GVS. You certain to feel like a new you!

Shop `til You Drop in Las Vegas!

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

Lots of you (like 42 million or so) visit Las Vegas every year. You come for different reasons. For some of you, it’s the thrill of the chase – the pursuit of the big score more than the score itself that activates the pleasure center in your brain and keeps you coming back time and again.

For others of you, it’s the opportunity to fine dine in restaurants helmed by world renowned chefs (like Jason Diaz’s 17˚ South Booze & Bites at Tahiti Village!). Still more of you savor the variety of entertainment options on offer, from popular headliner acts to traditional Cirque-style production shows to ubiquitous comedy clubs.

Then there are those of you for whom a visit to Vegas means one thing and one thing only: shopping! Get this: We know a guy who has a wife who has a sister who, on her yearly trips to our radiant city, buys two extra suitcases while she’s here just to hold all the stuff she’s going to bring back. One of those suitcases, we’re told, is reserved for shoes.

We imagine such single-minded devotion to wardrobe wrangling isn’t analogous to this one individual. Judging by the number of shopping outlets that enable this behavior, we must deduce it is epidemic! Therefore, this article on Las Vegas retail outlets isn’t for the initiated; they already know and have patronized these alluring establishments many times over.

It is for you, the person who enjoys a good shop on vacation but doesn’t know where to go in Las Vegas.

For your reading convenience, we have broken down the enviable array of choices into three categories based on their dominant demographic: Mostly Visitors, Mostly Locals, Vegans & Visitors Combo Platter. (That’s Vay-gans as in Las Vegans, not veeeeegans as in people who abstain from animal products.)

So without further delay, let’s go shopping!

MOSTLY VISITORS

As Strip-based shops (or shoppes, for the two that insist on intentional old-fashioned quaintness), these typically adhere thematically to their host hotels and create a uniquely Vegas shopping experience where entertainment is built into the buying. This is exemplified most dramatically at the Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes, which features its own gondoliers!

Miracle Mile Shops (Planet Hollywood)

Grand Bazaar Shops (Bally’s)

The Forum Shops at Caesars (Caesars Palace)

The Shops at Crystals (Aria)

The Grand Canal Shoppes (The Venetian)

The Shoppes at Mandalay Place (Mandalay Bay)

 

MOSTLY LOCALS

If you want to escape the magnetic hold of the Strip and mix with Vegas residents on their home turf (and in their food courts), the following will give you a true locals’ experience.

Boulevard Mall

Opening in 1968, the Boulevard is Las Vegas’ oldest mall. Centrally located on Maryland Parkway, the Boulevard has undergone numerous recent changes. Longtime anchor stores Dillard’s, Macy’s and JCPenney have all left and been replaced by nontraditional tenants new management hopes will attract a younger clientele.

Meadows Mall

Residents of the growing near northwest area of Las Vegas received a mall of their own when the Meadows opened in 1978. The double decker mall still features original anchor tenants Sears, JCPenney, Dillard’s and Macy’s in addition to the changing cast of storefronts.

Galleria at Sunset

Opening in 1996, the Galleria at Sunset finally gave suburban Henderson residents a mall to call their own. Like the others mentioned above, it offers standard mall fare but will more than adequately satisfy your shopping jones if you’re in the area.

 

VEGANS & VISITORS COMBO PLATTER

Fashion Show Mall (Las Vegas Strip)

The Strip’s first mall was a sensation when it opened in 1981 and still retains its upscale cred. Bringing high-end anchor tenants and chic specialty shops to Las Vegas for the first time, the Fashion Show attracted a mix of locals and visitors to its mid-Strip location. Thirty-seven years later, it still does.

 

Las Vegas South Premium Outlets

Similarly named but geographically opposed, this premium pair offers convenient shopping options for those staying downtown (north) and those visiting Tahiti Village or any of the nearby resorts (south). If you’re here in winter, be advised: Las Vegas North’s walking spaces are outdoors.

 

With the exception of Town Square Las Vegas, which is centrally located on Las Vegas Boulevard a mile from Tahiti Village, the following are far-flung from the Strip but well worth the drive.

Town Square Las Vegas

The District at Green Valley Ranch (Henderson)

Downtown Summerlin (Summerlin)

Tivoli Village (Northwest)

Happy shopping!

Unique facts you may not know about Las Vegas

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

Back when dad was a blackjack dealer, years ago in the heyday of the Frank Rosenthal-Tony Spilotro Stardust, people, in all innocence, would ask him where he lived when he wasn’t pitching cards.

“Los Angeles,” he would reply. “They fly us in here to work.”

The idea that Las Vegas existed outside the narrow purview of the casino was a concept not easily reconciled by the stimulus-addled brains of mesmerized tourists.

They could barely conceive of a place like this to begin with, let alone accept the paradox of a showgirl prancing au naturel before strangers at the Folies Bergere, then seeing her kids off to school the next morning.

Taken in the context of the time, it is understandable. Las Vegas existed in the minds of visitors solely as an adult Disneyland – a place where everyone magically popped in and out.

Which brings us, in this Unique Facts about Las Vegas article, to Unique Fact Number One:

People live here.

While the myth of a city existing outside the Strip persisted for years, Las Vegas has always been a boomtown, only no one knew it. Residents would always proclaim the normalcy of life here, only no one heard. It wasn’t until the early `90s, with the advent of family-friendly resorts and the mass migration of hotel workers, that the perception began to change.

It was impossible not to notice that Las Vegas was becoming the nation’s fastest growing city, with new neighborhoods sprouting up and sprawling in every direction to house the 6,000 people a month flocking here to work in the megaresorts opening up and down the Strip.

Now, more than 20 years since the start of the last and greatest boom, telling people you live in Las Vegas is like saying you live in Ohio. Las Vegas has everything everywhere does, and casinos have popped up like wild mushrooms all over the country, an occurrence that served to dull what was once our primary debauched distinction.

So the unique fact anymore may not be that a city exists outside the Strip; it’s that everyone now accepts the reality.

Other Unique Facts about Las Vegas You May Not Have Known

• There’s about one operating slot machine for every eight Las Vegas residents.

• According to estimates, more than 1,000 people are living beneath Las Vegas in underground tunnels.

• Fifteen of the 25 largest hotels in the world are located in Las Vegas, begging the question: Does underground living come with room service?
