Long gone are the days when Las Vegas is only synonymous with gambling, fabulous cheap buffets, and Elvis (well there will always be gambling and Elvis, cheap anything in Vegas-not so much). Now, Las Vegas is hotter (and more expensive) than ever. Not only does Las Vegas boast some the hottest hotels, restaurants and nightlife, it's becoming my favorite destination for some damn good shopping. Eat your heart out New York! To add more fuel to the fire, opening this month for your shopping, eating and hotel lodging enjoyment is the $8.5 billion dollar project, CityCenter (check out the cool interactive website here). CityCenter includes a half million (yes million) square feet of shopping collectively called Crystals (opened Dec.3) that includes Tom Ford, Carolina Hererra, and Roberto Cavalli (all upscale shopper's or window shopper's dream) to name a few.

Expect to be accommodated in style at one of the five new property's: Vdara (opened Dec. 1), Mandarin Oriental (opening today), Aria Resort & Casino (opening Jan. 16) and Veer Towers (for purchase only, opening mid January) and Harmon Hotel (opening late 2010). Time to get your travel plans ready. I'm both excited and little annoyed that I just left Las Vegas the day before the openings. Oh well, looks like another road trip is on the horizon.
Oh, and I told you Elvis isn't going anywhere...
Cirque Du Soleil is unveiling their tribute to Elvis at the Aria Hotel and Casino. Wouldn't it be great if Cirque did a tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson?
Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
