SLS, Las Vegas, NV

SLS Las Vegas .... Sweet Luxurious Stay. It's beautiful, it's clean, it's modern and has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It's a little farther up the strip than you might wish to wander but it's so worth a visit. It's grounds are well kept and the space alien out front, well, he's just awesome.
The casino and sportsbook are both small in the SLS, but they're nice and modern - the sportsbook is a William Hill one and on it's counter, one of the cool parts of it's décor are stickers and decals for many many sports teams - football, hockey, baseball ... it's a neat little addition and quite eye catching and unusual. Speaking of nicely decorated, whilst I didn't go in it, the SLS has an awesome looking outdoor pool with the Foxtail bar. Again the décor around it is in a silver and modern style and one of the corners features a huge silver duck ...
Despite the size of the SLS, it does have several places to eat and drink. It has it's own nightclub, The Foundry, too. There are 5 main restaurants, Umami Burger, 800 degrees pizzeria, Bazaar Meats by Jose Andres, Katsuya a Japanese/American crossover restaurant and Cleo which features Mediterranean cuisine. We picked Umami burger for the main reason that we were super hungry and got a little scared off by the Circus Circus buffet and it was near the sportsbook :) We certainly made the right choice. I opted for the Cali burger and Mr G went for the Umami burger - each one roughly costs between $12-16 and fries are separate. Trust me though, it's worth it. Drink wise I had a velvet mule which had some very nice lemon and blackberry flavors and Mr G went for a peach ale that was nothing like a Pyramid one ... I'd recommend all. Here's a couple of pics and also the link to the Umami menu - if you're ever around one - do it - they're pretty special! https://slslasvegas.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/UMAMI_MENU_.pdf
Just a short review for the SLS as there really isn't anything else to say about it ... it's a neat place for a visit and a great place to grab a spectacular burger! More reviews coming this week ... stay tuned! Viva

Westgate, Las Vegas, NV

One word - sportsbook. This is what the Westgate prides itself on. The largest one in the world in fact. Westgate is football central. If you want somewhere to watch the games with a fun crowd, go to the Westgate. When we visited back in October last year, we got to the Superbook (as it likes to call itself) about an hour before kick off for the days' NFL games - could we find a seat in there? Nope. And there's 400 seats available too ... But not to fear! The International Theatre is opened up and it has plenty more seating - they're actually holding a Super Bowl viewing party in there this weekend - it's $100 per person however it's all you can eat and drink with reserved seating. Really quite a bargain to be honest! Anyhoo, back to the casino. It's small but modern and as I notice with all the casinos we visit, it's very visually pleasing. New, clean and a good selection of old and new slots. The Westgate does have a poker room - it'

China Lights Lantern Festival

Image
Hey there! China Lights lantern festival ran for six weeks between 19 January to 25 February at Craig Ranch Park here in Las Vegas. I'd fully recommend this event - it travels the country and hopefully will come back to Vegas again next year as it'd be great to see it again. There were over 39 lanterns on display - from tiny to huge - all so intricate and fantastically colorful - a really wonderful spectacle to see.  Here's some of the pictures I took.
