When To Find Great Summer Vacation Values In Las Vegas

Here it comes! Can you feel it yet? Summer is approaching! The scent of coconut oil and palm butter will soon fill the air and coat the surface of Las Vegas pools once again. Visitors are starting to plan their summer vacation in Las Vegas now, and getting ready to reserve a special vacation home just for the occasion. Hopefully one that has a really nice pool for the hot days and nights in this desert paradise. If you happen to be one of those visitors, here are a few things to keep in mind when booking your vacation home rental in Las Vegas.

Book Dates After July 15th.

If you're looking to get the best possible rates on good vacation homes, it is better to wait until after July 15 for your visit. This is because many of the vacation homes in Las Vegas are going to be booked for participants in the World Series of Poker for all of June and the first half of July. Because of this busy period, many homes will be expensive to book or simply unavailable.

Be Careful Who You Book With

Take some time to check the credentials of the owner or company you are booking with. Vacation rental fraud is unfortunately common in Las Vegas and you could end up without your home at the last minute. One common ruse is for an owner to take a short booking for their home, and then take a longer one if that happens to come along later on. This leaves you, the original renter without the home you booked and back at square one for accommodations. You'll know you've been had when they say "water damage" is the reason they have to cancel.

In short, be careful who you book with and be sure to look at later in summer for the best deals. As always, we hope you have a wonderful vacation in Las Vegas. We want you to make the most of it!

Las Vegas Event Locations

Looking to provide a new solution for an ever present problem, Las Vegas Event Locations has opened a new website to showcase the best private home solutions available for events in Las Vegas. By combining the best available homes in one easy location, and by adding the expertise and experience of Las Vegas concierge and event planning services, this is a website that really dials into the need rather than how to spend a lot of money.

Las Vegas is a place where the choices for events are as varied as the people who come here. Just a quick glance at the landscape reveals one inescapable fact, most of the advertised solutions are both expensive and confining. In fact many of the strip casinos almost act like the resent your business. Their solutions are generic and utilitarian and many of their rules are dictatorial.

Las Vegas Event Locations helps people avoid these problems by using solutions that are away from the Strip, and yet close enough to be convenient. Excellent solutions that not only offer tremendous costs savings and the flexibility of using your vendors and entertainment, but also provide character and uniqueness as well. Check their new website before your Las Vegas event and create something truly unique and memorable.

An Amazing Year Ahead For Las Vegas

We've been feeling it for quite some time now. Months maybe. There is something in the air and it feels really good. It's that feeling that change is coming, and it's change we can all appreciate. Las Vegas, like the rest of the country and much of the world, has been under the pall of slow economy for several years now. And although our particular industry, FUN!, is never completely our of style. Still, nobody spends as much or feels as free to enjoy themselves when money is tight and good jobs are hard to come by.

Now with 2012 here, it seems as though the air is changing. Here and in other places too. Las Vegas just enjoyed one of its biggest New Years Eve celebrations ever. Caesars Palace had so many bookings that they opened their new tower months in advance to accommodate the guests. And not only is occupancy up, room rates are too. The crux of all this is that there has been a steady increase in visitors to Las Vegas over the last few months, and they are bringing along more money to spend.

This is a resilient town with a long history of good times and bad. Las Vegas is legendary as both a place of new beginnings and sad endings as well. Movies and novels have told the stories for years. Those of us who live here know all too well the cycles of life and the ebb and flow of our living. And now it looks like the flow is towards the positive again. We are all very excited to see what happens here in the next year. We are ready for it and we know you are too!

Happy New Year from Las Vegas Retreats. We hope 2012 will be your best year ever and we wish you great success and the best of luck in Las Vegas.

The Guide to Family Friendly Las Vegas

For many people coming to Las Vegas, there is the additional headache of what to do with the kids when you are here.

And yet over the years Las Vegas has worked to broaden its appeal to a wider market that includes families with children of all ages.

Since the original boom times of the 50's and 60's, Las Vegas has always been a place where adults came to be adults. Much of that included leaving the kids back home, and having a little R and R that included gambling and drinking and maybe some smoking too.

Oh, who are we kidding??? Everybody smoked back then! But these days parents are looking for a different Las Vegas. One that is more suitable for the whole family. They can find it too!

Have You Heard What Wayne Newton Is Doing To His House?

Las Vegas is one of those places where stars do amazing things with their houses. It's been a tradition in the desert for the rich and famous to have extravagant tastes for homes here, ever since...well...ever. And certainly no star has done more with their Las Vegas property here than Wayne Newton. With everything from penguins to arabian houses, from the classic "Whitehouse" looking mansion to the on site private jet, Wayne has managed to capture the essense of what it means to be rich and famous in Las Vegas.

And now Mr Las Vegas (as the Wayne is known around here) has decided that all that amazing opulence is too much to keep to himself. He has decided to turn his entire estate into a Graceland style tour, complete with penguin petting zoo and a view of the private jet. Soon Las Vegas visitors will be able to see all of it for themselves, and catch a small glimpse of the star's somewhat private lifestyle.

Wayne Newton is a long time resident here, having moved to Las Vegas after his stardom boomed in the sixties. Modeling his act after the likes of Frank and Elvis, Wayne became a Las Vegas legend with his hard working life dedicated to performing on stage. His performances are not only the stuff legends are made of, but they also number in the thousands!

No doubt this will be interesting to watch. As the development continues and Wayne continues to be a powerful force in Las Vegas, he has been able to secure the approvals and right of way to do almost everything he has asked for. Even moving the private jet from McCarran airport to his own backyard and buying the property across the road for parking. This project IS happening. If that there is no doubt. We're hoping it will be a great success. Las Vegas could us one right about now.

Happy Travels from Las Vegas Retreats!
