Welcome to 2012. The fireworks and all night New Year's Eve parties are over. Time for Las Vegas to get back to work getting rid of the old and in with the new.
The Las Hilton has changes it's name to LVH--Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Here is the link to their new web page: http://www.thelvh.com/ I like the new design of their web page. You can sign up for new e-mail offers and follow them of Twitter or Facebook.
At Caesars Palace the new Octavius Tower is now open. This is priced as a luxury room, so don't expect to get it cheap! Caesars still has a bevy of headliners, Elton John, Celine Dion, Ron Stewart and Shania Twain. Just check to see who is performing when you are planning to be there.
The Flamingo has opened the Margaritaville Casino. It is small, really not much to it. Renovating some rooms to what they call "Fab rooms". Best thing about them is they are newly renovated and not too expensive. Remember the Harrah's hotels do not have a resort fee!!
The MGM Grand has removed the lion exhibit, No word yet on what will replace it. MGM is also renovating it's rooms and casino.
The Bellagio is also renovating more of it's rooms this year. And don't forget to check out the renovated Tropicana. Everything there has been updated. New rooms, casino, new beach club. Looking very good.
That is a few of the new changes for 2012, as always, more changes to come!!
The most talked about show on the Las Vegas strip is returning on October 21. Scheduled for a year long run. Tickets are on sale now on the Caesars Palace website or with Ticketmaster website. I have seen this show six times. It was great entertainment every time. Most of the cast is returning. Including the Gazillionare, Penny Pibbets, and the Green Fairy Melody Sweets. I have read where the skating couple are moving to the Planet Hollywood for their own show. Good for them, they are excellent. Currently, I believe all the other acts are returning. But change is always possible.
And a good change is the Speigelworld is changing. A new and improved tent if being set up. The original tent met it's match against the Las Vegas thunderstorms a few weeks ago. The area outside the tent is supposed to be enclosed and covered to keep the rain and heat away. Make sure to stop by and see this show when your in Vegas. But be warned, this is an adult show. Crude, rude language and not politically correct humor abounds. It's great!! Tickets are $99.70 and $135.00 for the VIP entry. Look for discounts on the Absinthe site or around the box office at the tent. Usually someone handing out $20.00 discount tickets.
At the Circus Circus the Fright Dome is back for the Halloween season. It is open now till October 31. Opens at 7pm and closes at midnight. This year it has five haunted houses to try ans scare you! The rides in the Adventure Dome are part of the admission ticket. Plus some scary movies and other creepy things to keep you amused and frightened. The general admission ticket is $36.95, some might find that terrifying!!
Finally something new at the Flamingo to go see. The brand new Margaritaville Casino has opened. Hopefully this will bring some new life and energy to the Flamingo. They really need to upgrade the whole casino. This is located right by the Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant. So be ready to enjoy his music while you play.
