Just returned from a trip to Las Vegas and by far the highlight of my trip was visiting Wayne Newton's Casa de Shenandoah! For so many years, I have driven by Shenandoah on our way to other places and I always wondered what it would look on the other side of that gate but... never could I have imagined how beautiful it really is! I've been going to Vegas since the 80's and have been a fan of Wayne's for many years, he's such a great ambassador for Las Vegas! We spent several Christmases in Vegas and I remember how the local news would show Wayne standing at the front door of his home wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and now here I was standing in front of that same door about to enter Wayne's house! What?? I could hardly believe it!! Anyone who loves Las Vegas knows the impact that Wayne Newton has had on Vegas, many a tourists have come here just to see Wayne! It's such a treat and an honor to visit Casa de Shenandoah! Our tour guide, Janet, was so personable and informative and just made the whole tour so much fun! She was so knowledgeable and enlightened us with some stories of Wayne and his family. I've always been a fan of Wayne Newton's, and always thought he was such a humble man, but visiting his museum and home just made me realize how real and kind this man is. His home is filled with priceless art and antiques and although it's very beautiful, it's also very clear that it was a family home too. It does not look sterile and untouchable, instead it's very inviting and it looks lived in and filled with love. There are so many personal touches, including family photographs. The grounds to Shenandoah are breathtaking... you really cannot believe this much green grass and trees are in the middle of a desert! Wayne's Arabian horses are amazing to see! They are so beautiful! It was such a treat to see all the other animals on the ranch too, including exotic birds, wallabees, donkey, pony and of course Boo, the monkey! Boo's caregiver, Robin, brought him and Honey, the chihuahua out to greet us.... so cute! This was a perfect way to spend an afternoon! I highly recommend this tour to anyone! The staff is absolutely wonderful! Everyone, including the shuttle bus driver, the ladies at the visitor center, Robin, who is a caregiver to the animals, and the horse caregivers were all so welcoming! Our tour guide, Janet, was awesome and made the tour fun and special! There's such a feeling of calmness on this tour, you do not feel hurried at all. Janet gave us plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and ask any questions we may have. On a personal note, my camera broke as soon as the tour began. I could hardly believe I'm standing in Wayne Newton's front yard and I can't take any photos! Janet was so kind... she offered to take photos for me and later that day she emailed them to me! Thank you Janet! I have shared those photos with so many family and friends!! You feel very welcome by everyone at Shenandoah! I will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to Vegas! Wayne, Mr. Las Vegas, thanks for sharing your home.....it was such a pleasure to visit!! Danke schoen ( I just had to say that!)!

Seriously, if you are thinking of getting married in the Wedding Capital of the world, look no further. It’s very unusual for me to not look at reviews before doing something, however I fortunately made the correct choice. I basically googled wedding providers for a couple of hours and really don’t know when I clicked on this one. The options that were available and pricing that was great, really appealed to me being an international traveller (especially when the AUD$ sucks so much to the green back). I did a web chat with someone on line and they were a great help. Once I was ready to go ahead with the booking, they rang me straight away via WhatsApp. So far it was easy, what could go wrong??? Wedding day came, and everyone from the limo driver, the hair/markup artist, pastor, photographer and even the lovely lady that helped us with our wedding attire (my apologies, I have forgotten your names, but you all ROCK!!!), were an absolute dream to deal with. So friendly. So helpful. I really couldn’t have asked for a better day!!! Please, if you are looking at tying the knot or renewing your vows, don’t look any further. See you guys in 10 years for our vows renewal.

Big Rig Jig made by Mike Ross
Reviewed By endoedibles - Las Vegas, United States
From the moment Big Rig Jig was placed in the former Fergusons Motel courtyard locals wondered what was coming, the answer now fully visible with two Restaurants from Dan Krohmer, a Coffee Shop and green space offering live music, movies and more. Expanding DTLV's footprint further east than ever, the revitalization of the 1940s space looks offer a space for the community that celebrates creativity. From plants to leather and handmade to salvage this is how you develop relationships and lasting ideas in a city often considered transient.

this is the first time I went up to the observation deck and it was amazing .. BEST PLACE for sunset for sure!!! and if you are a thrill seeker, you can bungy off the side or ride the slider that takes you off the side of the top of the Stratosphere -just plain crazy to watch but alot of people did it- you ride up the elevator at 21 miles and hour - a must see
5. The Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is simply amazing to see. My first time in Vegas Amazing people watching Amazing photography Amazing shopping Amazing Restaurants/Food Amazing Casinos (Many of course) Amazing Shows/Entertainment Bring comfortable running shoes as the strip is massif. You could not possibly walk the entire strip and see everything in one day. Don't forget to check out one of the most amazing and only free things on the strip The Bellagio Fountains Show The Strip is divided up into 3 sections South, Central and North Yes the strip is that large. Bring lots of money or credit as everything is very expensive on Las Vegas Strip. We will be coming back to Las Vegas Strip many more times and would recommend to anyone to see the Las Vegas Strip at least once in their life as there is nowhere else in the world like this. You don't need to be a gambler to visit Las Vegas as there is so much to see and do however if you do gamble you will be in heaven.

A recently upgraded boardwalk that's wheelchair accessible takes you around the basin with beautiful views of multi-colored rock formations and excellent signage explaining the history, geology, and animal life. There are also more demanding trails, as well as bouldering for the more adventurous. Clean bathrooms and shaded picnic tables off parking lot. Well-marked right turn off Red Rock Canyon Road, about a mile before you get to the Visitor Center. No fee. Worth a visit.

This chap in his entirety is a blast from the past - from a Las Vegas of yesteryear but an individual that I daresay is recognised around the world. A neon man who appears better and more impressive when lit (don't we all !!??) but is a preserved piece of enduring history that continues to be relevant and show off Downtown Vegas to best effect to this very day. Well done Vic !!

Our Bellagio Wedding was, truly, a Storybook Tale come to life. Every second, every detail, proved magical, exquisite, and heartrendingly beautiful. Hearts were opened, spirits soared, tears were evoked. Love was always in the air. None of this could have taken place were it not for the superb work done behind the scenes by the staff. From the first moment of contact until the last, we were impressed by their care for our wishes, their attention to detail, and their enthusiastic support for our vision. Most importantly, they shouldered responsibilities, and made the project -- yes, weddings are projects! -- simple, straightforward, seamless and actually enjoyable. We wanted to offer our guests a ceremony and reception that would touch their hearts and live in their memories, and the Bellagio fully accommodated our wishes. Our January wedding took place on the Terazza overlooking the Fountains, which took to flight in song and spectacle as we were joined in matrimony. We followed with a cocktail reception and dinner at The Mayfair Supper Club, a magical place every day of the year, immersing guests in a peerless dining, design and entertainment experience. Our guests found the day, "breathtaking" from start to finish. The wedding planners, the restaurant coordinator, the Mayfair's manager, chef, cake creators and kitchen staff, servers, bartenders, and the spectacular Band, all made us feel welcome and, indeed, part of their Bellagio family. The Bellagio photography people, associated with Cashman, stunned us with the their photographs and videos. And, very stunning, all of this was provided at the most reasonable of costs. If you value magic, beauty and love, and want a wedding experience so exquisite that it will live in your, and your guests', hearts and memories always, go to the Bellagio.
