Enjoying Vegas in Baby Steps


Jumping off the plane at the McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas Nevada you are excited to spend you days and nights in fun filled Las Vegas. But since this is your first time you have no idea what’s in store for you.



The Vegas Strip :

Enjoy Facebook Vegas Reviews just for fun

First Impression


Your first impression along the Vegas Strip takes you back, overwhelmed by the awe inspiring billion dollar Vegas Resorts towering above and with each property extending a good eight blocks. You crank your neck looking above at these massive giants realizing why they cost billions of dollars.
The shuttle finally arrives at your destination; your first pick just happens to be T.I. (Treasure Island Hotel & Casino). You tip the driver a couple of dollars and head into the themed resort following along with everyone else to stand in-line ready to check-in.  You’re surprised how quick the line is going and before you know it, you’re greeted by a smiling front desk clerk asking for your name, drivers license (mandatory in the State of Nevada – before you go be sure your driver’s license is updated and hasn’t expired. You must be 21 years or older).
Within seconds the clerk asks you if you would like to up-grade and your response this time is no, just because it’s your first time in. (It’s a good idea to up-grade – but be sure you understand the extra costs and what you can afford it)

Baby Steps

  1.     After you check in – head over to your resorts Player Card Desk. Each Corporation has their own Player’s Card.
  2. Make the most of gambling at the hotels that honor your Player’s Card. (Hint: The more you play – food purchases & entertainment signed to your room may become free)
  3.   Sign your food and entertainment purchases at your hotel. Do most of your meals at the hotel where you’re staying.
  4.  Going to a Show? Try to see a show that’s in your Vegas Resort and sign it to your room
  5.  Don’t try to see all of Vegas at once. Vegas can be overwhelming – if you’re on the South end – try to explore more of the South end. For Example: Let’s say you’re staying at Luxor Hotel and Casino – Check out Excalibur, Mandalay Bay Resort, MGM Grand, New York New York, Monte Carlo Resorts and City Center. You will spend enough of your valuable time just checking out these Las Vegas Properties.  
  6. If you want to spend one day on the North side of Las Vegas – just plan ahead – realize it will take you most of your day. Simply because there is so much to see.
  7. Make a point of checking out the pools; not only is it relaxing, but it gives you time to think out your day. Be sure to arrive early, around 8:00 – 8:30 am should give you enough time to save your lounger. If you want to go have breakfast, set down your hat or some article you won’t care if it’s gone when you come back. Or check out the poolside restaurants. But always be sure to save your lounger.
  8. For Transportation – Use the deuce bus system or the Las Vegas Monorail system.
  9. Only gamble what you can afford – Before heading to Vegas always have a budget planned ahead. Set aside an amount of money you will spend on gambling each day you are there. For example: Let’s say you set aside $300 per day just for gambling. Spread out your gambling for the whole day. Don’t spend it all at once. If you’re winning, think of that as entertainment money. Always cash out while you’re ahead and never get greedy. Take a break from the gambling – go have something to eat. Never expect to win and always expect you will lose your gambling money; think of it as a form of entertainment. With these small simply rules, you won’t leave Vegas disappointed.
  10.  The last suggestion is: Your first time down to Vegas go for just 3-4 days and then expand your days the more experienced you become. Always plan your trip ahead and never make any rash on-the-spot decisions. Plan to come back more than once. Make it one of your yearly holiday destinations.

Colosseum at Caesars Palace


Category: Music Venues
Neighbourhood: The Strip


The Owners:

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is one of the best entertaining spots in Las Vegas. The company's resorts operate primarily under Caesars Entertainment with  over 70,000 employees.


Caesars Entertainment owns Caesars Palace, Harrah's Horseshoe, Planet Hollywood, Paris, Rio, Flamingo, Imperial Palace, Ballys, Harveys, Tunica Roadhouse, Grand Biloxi,London Clubs International ,Total Rewards and of course the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

About :

The Colosseum was built with Celine Dion in mind.

The Colosseum is a modern replica of Rome's architectural wonder, complete with world class acoustics and a classic style. Designed to accommodate stage shows of all varieties, including the world-reknowned Caesars' headliners, The Colosseum seats an impressive 4,298 with no seat farther than 120-feet from the stage and is equipped with state-of-the-art audio and visual elements, including one of the largest indoor high-definition LED screens in North America (120-feet wide by 33-feet tall)

The Personal Experience:

The first time I decided to see one of the venues at The Colosseum, I hesitated because of the rich price tag to see any of the stars, like : Cher, Shania Twain, Jerry Seinfeld, Celine Dion,Elton John and Rod Stewart.
The price tag can cost a couple $400, so you can understand my hesitation. While in Vegas I was lucky enough to win some cash from one of slot machines at Caesars Palace, so it help seal the deal and take in the venue of Cher.

Entering the vast sound proof complex, I was at awe at its architectural structure, not to mention the organized polite staff. Within minutes we were seated within the grand Colosseum.
The seating was very well designed, comfortable and enough elbow room that you didn't have the feel of a packed sardine.
We were along the top third tier and were a little concerned if were even going to be able to see Cher never mind hear her.
But, as soon as the performance began, the whole stadium was taken back by how close everything was. It is actually what they said - no seat farther than 120 ft from the stage. What an incredible design and Cher entertained us like I've never seen before in my life.
The whole show was fabulous and Cher's singing actually brought tears to my eyes;quite an accomplishment for this particular male species.

In Conclusion:
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is well worth the price and offers the best of the best from entertainment to comfort.  Our next show I plan on seeing in Sept 2012 is Shania Twain for two reasons. First, Shania Twain is from Alberta Canada and secondly, I love her songs.
Take time to see one of the venues of your choice - it will be the best time you will ever had.
And remember you're there to have "fun". Make the best of your time and enjoy the shows.
