Making the Most of Your Vegas Vacation

adaffron — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:00:54 +0000

The airfare to Vegas is booked, your room at Blue Chip Vegas is waiting, but now you have to plan what to do during your trip. Vegas offers an overwhelming array of shows, events and attractions some of which are short-run while others have been running for years.

Which show to see in Vegas can be a tough decision. Cirque du Soleil offers an array of seven shows on the Las Vegas Strip. The newest show pays tribute to Elvis at the Aria Resort & Casino.

While all the Cirque shows are amazing they are not for everyone and Vegas offers many other amazing shows as well. The Blueman Group at the Venetian is a fun-packed and amazing comedy show. (Grab your tickets from www.BlueChipVegas.com when you book your room for great discounted seats.)

There are many free shows in Vegas up and down the Strip as well. The Bellagio Fountain show never fails to amaze while across the street you can watch an indoor thunderstorm at the Miracle Mile Shops. If you are ready to venture further off the Strip you can head over to the Rio for the “Show in the Sky.”

However, most Vegas visitors never see our incredibly beautiful scenery off the Strip. Grab a car and head twenty minutes off the Strip to Red Rock to take the 13-mile loop drive or get out and hike the rocks.

If driving/hiking is not your thing grab one of our partner offers and be a Top Gun for a day or zip line through the desert canyons.

Once your trip to Vegas is booked one thing is for sure…there is something in Vegas for everyone! From all of us at Blue Chip Vegas have a great trip!

Vegas is full of attractions, shows and events. So much so that the sheer number of thing to do can overwhelm some who visit the city. Here is a list of our favorite things to do in Las Vegas.

Sky Combat Ace

This once in a lifetime experience will leave you feeling the need for speed as you become a Vegas Top Gun during the ride of your life! You will pilot the plane through simulated aerial combat and aerial stunts! You simply have to experience this one. Words and videos do not do it justice! Add a flight to your Blue Chip Vegas reservation for great savings on your flight!

Sushi Samba

Bootleg Canyon Flight Lines

Located at the base of Red Mountain outside Boulder City there are a series of four separate zip lines varying in length from 1,150 feet to 2,545 feet. The adrenaline rush of soaring through the canyons is rivaled by the awe inspiring beauty of the canyons, mountains and lake views while you zip along the lines more than 1,000 feet above the ground. You can add this “flight” to your Blue Chip Vegas reservation for amazing discounts!

Whatever you decide to do in Vegas you will always get the best service and prices by booking with Blue Chip Vegas.

Free Vegas (WiFi) Hot Spots

adaffron — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 09:17:30 +0000

If you are headed out to Vegas for a conference or even some relaxing (or not so relaxing) R & R you will likely need access to WiFi at some point. Like it or not we all check our email while on vacation. So you might as well make that check-in a little less painful for your bank account. After all, the more you save on WiFi means you will have more for the tables, shows and restaurants.

Vegas is full of places to access free WiFi. So here is your all access pass to free WiFi on the world famous Las Vegas Strip.

McCarran International Airport
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (located inside the Miracle Mile Shops, ROI &Palms Casinos & Town Square)
Apple Store (Fashion Show Mall & Town Square)
Krispy Kreme (Excalibur)
McDonald’s (near MGM & Casino Royale)
Last, but far from least MGM’s Wet Republic

Bootleg Canyon Flightlines – A Vegas Must-See/Do

adaffron — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 09:00:03 +0000

The guided tour starts with a brief safety orientation and a scenic van ride up the mountain. Upon arrival you will take a short 15-minute hike to the first platform where you will begin at a 3,800 foot elevation looking down on the Vegas valley.

The Red Mountains housing our flightlines are ranked eighth in the world for downhill extreme mountain biking, but rather than hiking/biking you will explore the mountains from the sky.

The adrenaline rush of soaring through the canyons is rivaled by the awe inspiring beauty of the canyons, mountains and lake views while you zip along the lines more than 1,000 feet above the ground. If you are afraid of heights, this Vegas attraction will help you conquer your fear.

“These unique aerial trails attract, educate and amaze people,” said Ian Green, co-founder of the Green Heart Conservation Company. “[It] allows them to follow the path of a bird. You will not find a more exhilarating trail in the world.”

If you are not familiar with the zip line phenomenon, passengers sit in their own paragliding harness that is suspended on cable wires sometimes reaching speeds of 50 mph. This is a piece of Vegas that most do not experience, but it is a piece that should not be missed!

Top 10 Things to do in Vegas when the Temperature Tops 100 Degrees (other than Gambling)

adaffron — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 07:00:49 +0000

Everyone loves Vegas right? Parties, shopping, shows, exhibits and of course gambling. What is not to love? Well sometimes the temperatures and heat can be a bit much for our visitors. These are the times when you want to enjoy our indoor activities.

Cool off in the pool. Every resort has at least one pool whether you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere like a lazy river or the nightlife (in the daytime) atmosphere of Wet Republic (LINK), Rehab (LINK) or Encore Beach Club (LINK).

Shop in one (or more) of our amazing malls.

Miracle Mile in Planet Hollywood will give you a one-mile loop filled with shoes, clothes, purses and art galleries. Stop at the pond for refreshing thunderstorms every hour.
Forum Shops at Ceasar’s Palace with more than 160 boutiques and 13 restaurants you can wait out the heat for hours. Don’t miss the Atlantis Fountain Show every hour on the hour.
Fashion Show Mall As one of the nation’s largest shopping malls, this vast array of boutiques can keep the most die-hard shopper occupied for hours!
Crystals at CityCenter Vegas’ newest mall located in the heart of City Center is the home to renowned retailers such as Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, Roberto Cavalli and TOM FORD are paired with one-of-a-kind boutiques. Download the art walk app for extra entertainment.

Bellagio Conservatory Garden The garden changes five times every year (Chinese New Year, Spring, Summer, Fall & Holiday) so even if you have seen it before you will enjoy another stroll through the garden

Venetian Gondolas There is nothing more soothing than water when the desert heat reaches the triple digits. Relax while viewing the Grand Canal Shoppes and planning your next shopping venture. The ride lasts about 30-minutes over the half-mile canal.

Indoor Skydiving Yes that is indoor skydiving! Mesh trampoline and padded walls offer a safe simulated sky dive complete with a free-fall aspect. No plane or parachute needed.

Indoor Go-kart Racing Yes you can do just about everything indoors in Vegas! Race your friends around a ¼-mile indoor road course in the high-performance European karts capable of 45mph.

Shark Reef Aquarium Not your typical aquarium this exhibit offers visitors the chance to view sea life from its fourteen tanks. The largest tank is 1.3 million gallons with a shipwreck and almost 360-degree views. With more than 2,000 animals you will be sure to stumble across a few you have never seen!

Titanic Exhibit As you “board” this exhibit you will be given a boarding pass of one of the passengers, travel through the 3^rd, 2^nd and 1^st class areas viewing actual artifacts from the ship before entering the “deck” of the ship at night and you will feel the vast nothing of being in the middle of the ocean. After the iceberg impact you will hear the trickle of water and move on in the exhibit to view “The Big Piece” a 15 ton piece of the ship measuring more than 26 feet long.

Mob Experience A team of Disney Imagineers brings Las Vegas history to life in this exhibit of 26,000 square feet, 33-rooms and three-acts. Experience the history makers such as Bugsy Siegel as he created the first of the “modern” casinos in Vegas, bootlegger Meyer Lansky, friend to celebrities Sam Giancana, Tony Spilotro (portrayed by Joe Pesci in the 1995 film Casino) and more.

Mt. Charleston Just 35 miles northwest of the Las Vegas Strip you will find miles and miles of hiking trails and temperatures 20-30 degrees cooler.

Of course, one of the many frozen drink vendors in Vegas will offer alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions to help you cool off!

What Ladies Need to Know About Getting into the Clubs

adaffron — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 07:37:48 +0000

All the single ladies, all the single ladies. And taken ladies too. Our Club Kid BrandyAlxander is back with her firsthand expertise on getting into the best Vegas clubs and partying VIP style. We know, we know. Dudes probably need more help with this but you’re just gonna have to wait in line a little longer.

My first glimpse into Vegas’ nightlife scene was when I was 13. I wasn’t partying it up like Drew Barrymore did in her wild child days (though that would’ve been amazing, celeb rehab and all). It was when I was watching MTV’s Real World: Las Vegas, the first go-around, when the seven strangers lived in the now infamous suite at The Palms.

I really shouldn’t have been watching the show, but even at the tender age of 13, I knew I was destined to dance the night away with my friends in some posh setting. And since I turned 21 last year, I’ve visited 21 of Vegas’ nightclubs. (They don’t call me a club kid for nothin’!)

So far in my crash course of clubbing, I’ve learned how to distinguish from “VIP Entry” scams and even how to score a free table with bottle service.

Allow me to help hook you up. And by “you,” I mean just women. Sorry dudes, this one is for the ladies.
