Palms invented the Vegas nightclub.  Posh, over-the-top environments where the beautiful people congregate to see and be seen.  Many mocked the financial viability of creating a diversion that keeps people from gambling for extended periods of time.  Not only did Maloof prove them wrong, he did it so well, it drew people away from the strip at night. Now, nightclubs are one of the most profitable amenities Vegas properties offer. Eventually, as happens so many times in Vegas, the idea was replicated all over the strip and is now another Vegas staple.  They’ve become so popular that it gave birth to the idea of day clubs.  Despite breathtaking views of the strip from the top of their towers, Palms are no longer a major player in the game they invented.  That brings us to the present The clubs that once caused long lines nightly, advertising exclusivity have become displaced in the market.  Retheming and renovations are underway in an attempt to return to glory but his has them in a period of transition. 

It's finally here.  Enjoy our misadventures from #360VegasVacation2 while recall and learn about them for the first time.

The Flamingo. The property that changed everything. The 3rd hotel/casino built on highway 91 introduced luxury to it.  It created one of the cities most famous, all be it the most inaccurate, story of a mobsters involvement in a casino and made Bugsy Segal the cities unofficial father of the strip.    The Flamingo has grown and expanded to the point that its original exterior design is unrecognizable in its current incarnation. It's said that virtually nothing remains from the original construction however stories of found hidden underground tunnels and bullet proof rooms live on in order to keep the legend of Bugsy alive.  While it is true that the Flamingo has fallen all the way to the low end of the market, it has outlived many properties that came after it including icons like the Sands, the Dunes & the Desert Inn.   Standing as proof that location, along with a well run property that adapts to its environment and evolves to cater to it, is truly how you survive in the implosion era.  When you con

In 2008, 4 years after Roy Horn was attacked by a tiger and their show ended, the Mirage decided that it made little sense to have a tiger habitat taking up prime real estate in their property.  Enter ESquared hospitality and their BLT brand of restaurants. Vegas is a city constantly evolving and experimenting.  When trends prove to be successful, they tend to become waves that wash over the strip, changing the landscape.  Right now, we are coming towards the end of the pizza place wave and are currently in the midst of the retail revolution.  BLT burger started the gourmet burger places evolution into a requirement at a quality Vegas property. BLT’s modern space, unique burger offerings, large beer on tap & spiked milkshake selection are all part of the template each property uses when building their burger place.  Into their 6th year on the strip, BLT Burger is still considered one of the best in Vegas.

Illinois native Kerry Simon made a name for himself as the executive chef at the landmark Plaza Hotel in New York.  Two years into the job, Rolling Stone named him the “Rock n Roll Chef” as well as one of the top personalities in 1991. Continuing to grow his fame, he’s made appears both as a challenger and a judge on Iron Chef as well as Hell’s Kitchen.  In 2002, Kerry entered the Las Vegas market when he opened Simon Kitchen & Bar at the Hard Rock.  That establishment was listed as one of America’s best new restaurants by Esquire magazine.   His footprint in the market has grown since then Considering that the one time he won as a challenger on Iron Chef was the hamburger challenge, it only made sense that this first restaurant on the Vegas strip would be a burger joint.  In 2010, Kerry opened Kerry’s Gourmet Burger, or KGB, at Harrah’s. As one would expect with the name, the theme of the place is Russian. The space and décor is set to look like you would imagine Russia looks like, at least the Ameri

Nacho Daddy is perhaps the greatest idea in the history of culinary invention.  Take any food concept you love, deconstruct and recreate the experience then remove the bread and replace it with a bed crispy, salty tortilla chips.  You don’t need Will Hunting to tell you that the answer to that equation equals exquisite dining.   Buffalo chicken, cheeseburger, spicy shrimp, Filet Minion… yeah, I know.  Take a second to collect yourself.  Okay, lets proceed…TO BREAKFAST!  Chorizo, chicken fried steak…okay, enough.  I can’t stand it.  It’s amazing.  Just go to the audio.

Calling Beatles LOVE by Cirque Du Soleil the best show in Vegas is a bit misleading because it implies two things. First, that its supremacy is even up for debate and second, that this statement could in someway be an opinion. Beatles LOVE is neither. The only item that could be mused about, for entertainment purposes only, mind you, is whether or not it is the greatest show in the history of ever.  I would reiterate that the answer is clearly yes but to do so would be tantamount to calling you an idiot and we don't have idiots that listen to our show. Or at least, you demonstrate your willingness to be less of an idiot by listening to this show.  So now that that is out of the way, lets proceed. Cirques 5th show in the Vegas market and their first using music from an individual artist showcasing their catalog and in some cases, their history, setup shop at the Mirage in 2009 and was an instant success.  So much so that it became the template for every cirque show that came after it until the touring show Z

Located somewhere between luxury and value, Monte Carlo is a property with an identity issue.  Originally conceived as another Vegas themed resort, this one paying homage to her namesake in Europe, Monte Carlo offers the less affluent a chance to experience and enjoy luxury.  However the properties theme does not accurately reflect her energy. The properties classic architecture can be enjoyed by the pool via the lazy river.  Beautiful chandeliers and stained glass ceilings resided over low to mid-limit gaming tables and fine dining can be enjoyed 50 feet away from a fast food court.  The Monte Carlo concept is almost the definition of an oxymoron, but in a good way. Monte Carlo is fun.  It isn’t the kind of place you think of in “must do” or “you have to try” conversations.  It isn’t a destination nor does it offer anything exceptionally unique, its just fun.  Monte Carlo is like a well run McDonald’s or any popular fast food chain that offers good food at a good price.  Monte Carlo offers Vegas fun for thos
