Home of the $10,000 Ono cocktail, XS is as impressive as it is excessive.
Thought to be the most expensive club ever built, costing in the range of
$100 million, the venue is inspired by the sensual curves of the human body.
The illuminated outdoor pool and island bar will amaze even the most seasoned
clubber, while the 95 indoor VIP tables and 30 VIP cabanas cater to the club’s
many ultra-affluent patrons. Elegant chandeliers, gold-leaf female torsos
and a large circular dance floor complement the club’s extravagant design,
setting the scene for the glamorous, discerning crowd who grace the venue.
For a truly elite experience, sip on the Ono cocktail which combines Louis XIII
black pearl cognac, Charles Heidseck’s 1981 Champagne Charlie, orange juice,
apricot puree and rose nectar to very costly effect. Served in jewel-encrusted
champagne glasses with a complimentary 18-karat Tahitian black pearl

Ono cocktail is a symbol of lavish excess synonymous with Las Vegas.

“Get an early start with breakfast at Bouchon, Thomas Keller’s
renowned French Bistro located in the Venezia Tower at the Venetian
Resort-Hotel-Casino. For those who prefer a more casual morning
meal, I recommend The Grand Lux Café, the Venetian’s 24-hour casual
dining venue. Following breakfast, see a different side to Las Vegas and
take a private tour of the impressive Hoover Dam before heading back
to the Strip to spend the rest of the day at The Grand Canal Shoppes.
Enjoy a romantic, relaxing dinner in your suite followed by one of the
Venetian Resort’s magnificent in-house shows, Phantom, Jersey Boys or
Blue Man Group.”

“Start your day watching the sunrise from one of Aria’s beautiful Sky
Suites before heading to one of the best spas in Vegas. The Spa & Salon at
Aria has three exclusives suites with a personal Spa Host, private restroom,
Jacuzzi and aromatherapy shower. After, enjoy an early lunch at Sage,
an American restaurant offering all-natural, fresh, organic cuisine.
With your hunger sated, head to the Concierge desk and pick up an Art Tour
Guide of CityCenter so you can take in the fabulous shops, architecture and
$40 million art collection. In the evening, enjoy a romantic dinner at Blossom,
a truly romantic Cantonese offering. A night out in Vegas isn’t complete
without taking in a show; Cirque du Soleil’s latest Vegas venture, Viva ELVIS,
is a brilliant choice. The show is guaranteed to get you dancing, so you’ll be
keen to take the party onto one of Sin City’s many nightspots. Aria’s Haze
Nightclub is a celebrity playground and perfect for the elite traveler.”

Website: www.trumplasvegashotel.com
“Begin your day with a mid-morning champagne brunch at
The Country Club at Wynn Las Vegas, where you can look out over
the hotel’s spectacular golf course, while enjoying Chef Carlos Guia’s
award-winning fare. Afterwards, escape the hustle and bustle of the
Strip by taking a Maverick Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour. Follow up
with lunch on Mon Ami Gabi’s terrace at the Paris Resort and Casino
before whiling away the afternoon in a poolside cabana. Spend the
evening dining at DJT, the Trump’s resident fine dining American
restaurant before enjoying Cirque du Soleil’s superb show ‘O’ at the
Bellagio Resort and Casino. Finally, a night in Vegas wouldn’t be
complete without a visit to one of the Strip’s famous nightclubs.
We recommend reserving a VIP table at Marquee Nightclub.”

“In summer, before the heat of the day hits, enjoy an early outdoor
breakfast at Mandarin Oriental’s Pool Café, serving light breakfast
options in a quiet, calm atmosphere. The mornings are wonderful
for touring the natural areas outside of Las Vegas by helicopter,
airplane or land tours. The main Las Vegas Strip is within hours of
some of most spectacular scenery in the United States, including the
Grand Canyon and Death Valley. For lunch, head to Estiatorio Milos
at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, where you can enjoy a selection of
deliciously light Mediterranean dishes. Afternoons in Las Vegas are
perfect for taking advantage of the wonderful spas and pools on offer,
before seeing one of Vegas’ many shows. End the night with a cocktail
in the Mandarin Bar with its fabulous 260-degree view of the Strip.”

Need to know
WHEN BEST TO GO
A year-round destination, there is no right or wrong
time to visit Las Vegas. Travelers should be aware
that since the city is based in the Mohave Desert
temperatures in summer months can get very high.
Winter in Las Vegas rarely brings snow and it is
relatively mild in the daytime with temperatures
dropping at night. During the warm Spring and Fall
months the city is prone to flash flooding, which
can cause minor disruptions.

LOCAL CUSTOMS
Smoking laws vary in Las Vegas so we recommend
you check with each venue. Many casinos,
clubs and bars not serving food allow patrons to
smoke, while restaurants and the majority of other
food outlets forbid smoking on the premises.
Those under-21 years of age cannot gamble in
casinos and cannot drink alcohol; a photo-ID
is required as proof of age. Like most US states,
tipping is strongly advised in bars, restaurants,
LANGUAGE

hotels, when paying drivers and for other
similar services. Children under the age of 18 have
a curfew of 10pm unless accompanied by an adult.
ATTIRE
In the summer months, temperatures can
reach into the high 20’s (°C) so it is advisable to
wear sunscreen. In Spring and Fall, some form
of waterproof clothing is recommended as a
precaution against sudden downpours.
