But today’s focus is on candy, and the World’s Tallest Chocolate Fountain is down the Strip a little, at the Bellagio. We can state from first-hand experience that the Venetian is a first-rate establishment, and an excellent choice. UCLA is headed to Sin City to (re-)play BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl, and word is that the Bruin Family will be staying at the Venetian Hotel. Regardless of where the night takes you, remember to party responsibly, and for God’s sake, remember to tip your servers, bussers, hosts, dealers, valets, and everyone else who’s gotta work while you’re out living la vida Vegas.There will be lots to see at the Venetian, but if you really have a Sweet Tooth, you’ll lick up the Bellagio If the cheering and confetti cannons and jets of frozen air and light show gets too much, smooth-talk your way into the posh Ling Ling Lounge, with its futuristic décor that reminds me of what Ming the Merciless’ lair would’ve looked like if he’d had the coins!
Rounding-out my round-up, at the south end of the Strip, we find ourselves at the multi-storied juggernaut of Las Vegas nightlife, Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand where Tïesto, the grand high-poobah of international beats, reigns supreme. I’m attending this event, and am looking forward to finding-out what all the fuss is about! (I would say I’m going because I love to rock a #HighPony but my hostess for the evening put the kibosh on my plans to feature a wig coming-out of a hole I’d cut-out of the top of a fez which means I’ll just have to make due being high, sans pony). Of course, Harris is 6’4” tall, so maybe you can just pretend to drop something, and sneak a peek?Īnd at the Caesars High Roller party will be none other than pop’s princess of the #HighPony, herself – Ariana Grande. Word on the street has the lanky Scotsman spinning in a kilt – and if you can sneak past security and into the DJ Booth (where you might stumble across Harris’ squeeze, Taylor Swift) maybe you can definitively find-out what a real Scot wears under his kilt.
And speaking of eye-candy, manning the ones-and-twos will be none other than that ab-crunching Emporio Armani spokesmodel, Calvin Harris. And no jewel in the Caesars crown shines brighter than does the futuristic OMNIA Nightclub that is so high tech it’d be daunting if not for the sublime oversight of Hakkasan Group. Just as an FYI – Katy Perry will be performing at the Wynn’s annual High Roller party – but odds are that if you’re just finding out about it, now that this doesn’t apply to you.Īcross the Strip and further south, is Caesars Palace, which is in the process of reclaiming its place as the grande dame of Las Vegas Boulevard. And down the Encore Esplanade, XS Las Vegas will be ringing in 2016 by celebrating the new residency by returning favorite Alesso (the talented young protégé of the now defunct but highly revered Swedish House Mafia). His moniker is a nod to his childhood obsession with the extinct gigantic lizards, but there’s nothing plodding about Diplo, or the music he’ll be playing at Surrender Nightclub. Next up, at Wynn Las Vegas (well, actually Encore Resort, but you know what I mean) the DJ culture will be in effect, at both of the property’s gorgeous venues. The dreamiest of the Jonas Brothers is a treat for the eyes and ears and you can see him now, months before his upcoming tour with Demi Lavato hits Las Vegas, next summer! Meanwhile (and apropos of me being well on my way to being a dirty old man, I guess) has anyone else noticed that many of this year’s New Year’s Eve headliners are kinda dreamy? But I digress… Let’s start at the north end of the Strip and work our way south, shall we?Īt the SLS Las Vegas, Nick Jonas will be crooning and shaking his moneymaker, on stage at Foxtail Nightclub. But know this – more than usual – I cannot stress the importance of buying tickets and reserving tables.
If you haven’t yet solidified your plans for New Year’s Eve, that’s rather weak, because the various offerings up and down the Strip are off the proverbial chain! But fear not: I’ve got the best of the best entertainment offerings for you, here. On the other hand, I’m always down for a good party, and if having your iPhone tell you that it’s no longer 2015 is reason enough to get dolled-up and boogie – then so be it! Logistically, it’s kind of a pain in my considerable ass. For the record, I’m not one of those people who thinks that New Year’s Eve is some magical night.
