We won an ARDY! Let’s Party!

Blog,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

It is with great pride that we announce our victory in Category 76 of the Resort Design Division, Common Area Refurbishment, at the ARDA Awards Gala March 29. The gala, a component of the annual ARDA World Global Timeshare Event, this year held March 26-30 in New Orleans, honors high achievement in four areas:

Advertising, Promotion and Communications
Management & Administration
Resort Design
Sales & Marketing

To the winners go the ARDY, the vacation ownership industry equivalent of the Oscar and the Emmy. For us at Tahiti Village, the honor affirms what others – namely our owners and visitors – have been saying about our $200,000 main lobby renovation.

They like it!

The award is testament to the keen eye and unerring sensibilities of interior designer Ron Nicola, who gave our lobby a bright, fresh look. It now features updated tables and chairs, colorful couches, decorative space dividers, recovered pillars, and eye-catching wall art. The previous island motif of dominant browns and greens has been replaced with vibrant colors and modern furniture that invite you to sit down and stay awhile. Check it out while you’re checking in!

The Raiders are coming! The Raiders are coming!

Blog,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

One of the National Football League’s marquee franchises, the Oakland Raiders, are moving to Las Vegas – and they’ll be playing their games in a brand new, state-of-the-art facility just two miles from Tahiti Village!

The 65,000-seat domed stadium will sit on 62 acres of land west of Interstate 15, just south of Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The Raiders will begin playing in Las Vegas in 2020.

We at Tahiti Village extend a warm welcome to the Raiders and all the members of Raider Nation who will be making the pilgrimage to Las Vegas in support of the Silver and Black.

Las Vegas Raiders – what a nice ring!

When the NHRA Nationals pays its biannual visit to Las Vegas, you can count on Terry McMillen doing two things: 1) Sending his 8,000-horsepower dragster down the track at more than 300 miles per hour and 2) staying here at Tahiti Village when he’s through.

As the official resort of Terry and his crew, we’ll be hosting a meet and greet with the top fuel drag racer from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, ahead of his appearance at the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Terry will be chatting with fans, signing autographs and posing for photos next to his Amalie Oil dragster from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. beneath the porte cochere. You may even have the opportunity to sit in the cockpit! Terry’s team will unload the dragster at approximately 10 a.m. Refreshments and popcorn will be provided.

If you can’t get enough Terry in the morning, he’ll be making an encore appearance that night during our weekly owners’ night event from 6-8 p.m. at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, our onsite bar and bistro.

For more information on Terry, please visit www.terrymcmillen.com. For more information on the race, please go to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway website at www.lvms.com or www.nhra.com, the National Hot Rod Association’s site.

Enjoy great food and drink specials during March Madness and over St. Paddy’s Day weekend at 17˚ South Booze & Bites!

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

The arrival of March brings with it two special events, March Madness and St. Patrick’s Day, a party-inducing pair that leads us out of the winter doldrums into the promise of spring.

Here at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, we’re celebrating the season with great food and drink specials over St. Patrick’s Day weekend and throughout the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

During March Madness you’ll enjoy $3, $4 and $5 draft beer selections and $6 food specials during all the basketball games. Over the St. Paddy’s Day weekend beginning Friday, March 17, we’re getting our Irish up with $5 Guinness drafts and $6 shots of Jameson!

Join us for all the March fun at 17˚ South, onsite at Tahiti Village!

Mouthwatering selections await you on the new 17˚ South Booze & Bites menu!

If you’re one of those people who respond like Pavlov’s dog to the inclusion of “housemade beer cheese sauce” and “smoked burnt rib ends” on a menu, you’re going to love the new selections at 17˚ South Booze & Bites, the stylish onsite bar and bistro at Tahiti Village.

As we prepare for our third anniversary this summer, we’ve updated our menu ahead of the big birthday celebration with enticing appetizers, satisfying burgers and sandwiches, and entrees that are sure to sound the dinner bell.

Wringing every ounce of inspiration from his years of crafting delectable culinary concoctions, our executive chef created an array of familiar favorites spiced with delicious twists.

Take our calamari. In its usual state of deep fried rings and still-attached tentacles, it is an appetizer staple on menus all over the country. Meh, right? But at 17˚ South, we zing your expectations with a kung pao kick!

Mac and cheese? Who doesn’t like mac and cheese? Except we do it dirty, with those aforementioned smoked burnt rib ends commingling delicious char with all that heavenly cheese.

And speaking of heavenly cheese, we can’t wait for you to try our wagyu sloppy joe nachos with – we repeat it here because we can’t say it enough – housemade beer cheese sauce! An extra tortilla chip for telling us what wagyu is without  a Google assist.

If all that goodness comes with too much guilt, you’ll be happy to know we have three salads to choose from: chopped, Caesar and mixed green.

If you can’t exist on lettuce alone, “let us” recommend a 17˚ South burger with smoked bacon and “fancy sauce.” Or a barbecue pork sandwich with Saigon-style pork. Or a sirloin steak sandwich with provolone cheese and horsey cream. Or a stack of specialty pizzas. Or a lineup of mouthwatering entrees that will have you coming back every night of your visit.

We look forward to satisfying all your culinary cravings!

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

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  ReservationsPosted on

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!

Tahiti Village Charity Car Wash

Blog,  General,  MiscellaneousPosted on

The timing of our first charity event of the year, a benefit car wash for the Las Vegas Chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, couldn’t have been better. The rain that had pelted the city the previous two days agreeably relented by Feb. 20, leaving lots of spotted vehicles for our band of volunteer washers.

Tahiti Village employees lent their vehicles to the cause and a mixed group of team leaders, including ASNY CEO Todd Spector, Soleil Management president Richard Rodriguez, Somerpointe Resorts senior vice president and chief operating officer Carl Hardin, and Soleil chief financial officer Bob Wagner, put their elbows to work.

At the conclusion of four hours, we had washed 23 vehicles and raised $323 for the VFW, which assists veterans in obtaining benefits, lobbies for additional benefits, and helps returning soldiers assimilate back into civilian life.

The event was put on by the charitable arm of our corporate giving committee, ASNY Cares. ASNY is the parent company of Somerpointe Resorts, of which Tahiti Village is the flagship property, and Soleil Management, which oversees the vacation club. ASNY Cares is comprised of dedicated individuals from both.

A concurrent car wash to benefit the VFW at the ASNY corporate office in Las Vegas also raised $550, bringing the total to $873! We thank everyone for their generosity on behalf of a great cause.

Tahiti Village gets new RFID door locks!

Blog,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

Chances are you don’t give much thought to your room key until something annoying happens. For instance: It’s the end of a long day rolling dice at the casino and all you want to do is crash.

You blearily locate the doorway of your hotel room and dig into your pocket. Your fingers find the familiar plastic rectangle. Only mere seconds and a locked door separate you from a comfortable bed and restful sleep.

You slide the key into the lock mechanism. Red light. Huh? You try again. Red light. What the …? Even before you give it a third try (and receive confirmation of your complete and final failure), you know where this is headed: another red light and a long walk to the front desk for a replacement key.

Most everyone has a room key rejection story. With the recent installation of keyless entry locks on all room doors, our goal here at Tahiti Village is to make sure you never have another.

What does this wire-free Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) read-write technology mean? Well, if you’re anything like us, all you want to know is if the technology will make your life easier.

The answer is a resounding yes! RFID key fobs aren’t like mag-stripe keycards that can be demagnetized by cell phones or other articles in your pocket. What’s more, they need only be held a short distance from the lock reader to authenticate the holder. And as a contactless interface, RFID keys don’t collect dirt or require regular maintenance (unlike stripe cards).

It’s just another example of how we utilize your maintenance fees to keep Tahiti Village on the cutting edge – and more secure than ever.
