Unusual Vegas activities for the adventurous

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/Rooms,  Tahitian,  Timeshare,  Vacation ownershipPosted on

Finding fun things to do on your Las Vegas vacation doesn’t take a lot of effort or imagination. Just point yourself in the direction of the nearest casino, showroom, shopping mall or celebrity chef restaurant and you’re all but guaranteed a great time.

However …

What if you’re the type whose tastes run towards the unconventional, the unpredictable, the unapologetically offbeat? Can you still have a good time in Vegas?

The answer is a resounding yes. You just have to know where to look. Don’t worry about knowing where to start. Here at Tahiti Resort, a South Pacific-inspired vacation ownership property just three miles from the world famous Las Vegas Strip, we’ve done the research for you. Enjoy!

DIG THIS

Described as a giant sandbox for grown-ups, Dig This lets you live out your heavy equipment-operating fantasies in bulldozers and excavators. Following a 30-minute training and orientation session, guests can dig trenches or build large earthen mounds. There are also skill tests, like moving humongous tires or deftly plucking basketballs from their resting place on top of safety cones. Feel what it’s like to be a real construction worker!

SPEED VEGAS

Tired of living life in the slow lane? Get behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Corvette at Speed Vegas and put the pedal to the metal. Feel the raw power and precise handling of a fire breathing supercar with a thrilling driving experience on one of Las Vegas’s longest racetracks. What a rush!

SIGNA DERBY MACHINE

Mechanical horse racing machines were once a common site at Las Vegas’ free standing race book gambling emporiums, but now there is only one left in the city. Found on the second floor of the D Las Vegas on Fremont Street, the quarter-operated Sigma Derby Machine allows bettors to book action on five mechanical horses. Betting odds range from 2-1 to 200-1. Once you’ve selected your horse, you have 30 seconds to put in your quarter. Then it’s off to the races!

ZAK BAGANS’ THE HAUNTED MUSEUM

Housed in a Tudor-style home built in 1938 for a prominent Las Vegas businessman and his family, Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum is a storehouse of the weird and macabre the Ghost Adventures personality has acquired traveling the world for his popular Travel Channel show. Take the mandatory guided tour and see Zak’s “possessions,” some of which are allegedly haunted. The collection even includes personal effects once belonging to infamous serial killers. Visitors beware: The once-abandoned house may still harbor evil spirits and was allegedly the site of satanic rituals in the basement. How many times do we have to say it? Don’t go in the basement!

JOHNSON J-BAR-B STABLES

This private horse ranch and equestrian center offers a whimsical visual feast just 20 minutes northwest of downtown Las Vegas. Sheet metal cowboys and cowgirls sit atop various structures, bombs and cutout metal flowers decorate the side gate, silhouettes of horses and sunflowers dot the fences and interior buildings, and old farm implements and horseshoes have been repurposed for maximum esthetic appeal. Built in 1961, the once far-flung stables have been reeled in and overtaken by the city. They are a reminder of a time when Las Vegas was not the runaway metropolis it has become, but an open desert with a patchwork population.

SEVEN MAGIC MOUNTAINS

Art to some, painted rocks to others, Seven Magic Mountains is a series of stacked neon boulders that rise some 35 feet above the desert floor 20 minutes south of Las Vegas. Like all public works of art, Seven Magic Mountains is in the eye of the boulder – er, beholder.

KISS MONSTER MINI-GOLF COURSE

Located inside the Rio Hotel and Casino, this KISS-themed mini golf course gives duffers the opportunity to roll a putt up the 15-foot tongue and into the gaping maw of Gene Simmons. Added bonus: a live DJ playing KISS music while you play.

MERMAID SWIM SHOW

If swimming with the fishes isn’t high on your bucket list, perhaps you’d prefer to watch lovely mermaids cavort with our gilled friends in the 117,000 gallon aquarium of the Silverton Hotel’s Mermaid Lounge. The effect is mesmeric and the price is right – free!

TAHITI RESORT LAS VEGAS

Tahiti Resort brings a touch of the South Pacific to Las Vegas. Just three miles from the world famous Las Vegas Strip, Tahiti is a tropical oasis in the desert. A thatch porte cochere is the centerpiece of our entrance, while tropical landscaping and decorations complete the theme.

With the conclusion of the Big Game we can now turn our football attention to the NFL Draft, which, like the former Raiders of Oakland, is coming to Las Vegas in 2020.

More than 400,000 people are expected in town April 23-25 to witness the annual rite of passage for college players into the pros. If you’re planning to be among the nearly half million visitors in attendance, please consider that there are 150,000 hotel rooms in Las Vegas. So unless you have Vegas friends with a spare room or couch, it is therefore advisable to book your Tahiti Resort visit now or risk getting locked out of all the fun.

Don’t wait. Book a visit to tropical Tahiti Resort Las Vegas today and ensure you’ll have comfortable accommodations for the NFL draft.

If you’ve never been to Tahiti Resort, you simply must experience Las Vegas’ South Pacific-inspired retreat.

 According to news reports, the NFL Draft will be worthy of a Las Vegas production. Draft prospects will be ferried by boat to a stage at the Fountains of Bellagio and introduced one by one.

The celebration — at the NFL Draft red carpet, main stage and NFL Draft Experience — will include immersive activities, live entertainment and performances, the league said. All events are free and open to the public.

The main stage will be next to the Caesars Forum conference center, where fans can watch the draft selections. The Las Vegas Raiders – how does that sound? – have seven picks in the draft, including picks No. 12 and 19 in the first round and five in the initial three rounds. This is the NFL as only Las Vegas can do it!

How to bet the Big Game in Las Vegas

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Suites/Rooms,  Timeshare,  Vacation ownershipPosted on

The biggest sporting event of the year is upon us.

For fans of the two teams playing for the championship of professional football on Feb. 2, the Big Game is a culmination of a season’s or lifetime’s worth of devotion. Hopes and dreams of vicarious glory are fulfilled or dashed depending on which side of the scoreboard your rooting interest falls.

For everyone else, it’s all about the money.

The Big Game is the most heavily wagered sporting contest in the nation if not the world; people come to Las Vegas from all over to lay down their cash and hope for a bountiful return on investment. While bets on the point spread, money line and over/under commonly cross the sportsbook window, over the years prop bets have gained in popularity among the (especially low stakes) wagering public.

The appeal of prop bets lies in their ubiquity and quirky character. Bettors can wager on hundreds of propositions ranging from the game-centric (which team or player will score first?) to the exotic (will the national anthem take more or less than two minutes?). Please click here to see a comprehensive list of prop bets for this year’s Big Game.

What follows are some of our favorites (and some we would like to see offered). If you’re fuzzy on sports betting terminology and wondering what the plus and minus figures are, they are the money line totals. For instance, plus 300 means you have to bet $100 to win $300 (or $10 to win $30). Minus $500 means you have to bet $500 to win $100 (or $50 to win $10).

OUR FAVORITE BIG GAME PROP BETS

Will the coin toss be heads or tails?

Get your betting day off to a great start with a proposition that gives you a 50-50 chance of success.
Yes (Even)
No (Even)

Will the singer of the national anthem forget or omit a word?

In other words, will 28-year-old Demi Lovato have a senior moment in front 80,000 people at the game and millions around the world watching on television and streaming devices?
Yes (+300)
No (-500)

Jersey number of the first player to score a touchdown.

The two numerals before the decimal point in the 31.5 over-under figure below indicate a player number. Taking the over means you’re betting that a player wearing a jersey number higher than 31 scores the first touchdown. Taking the under means you’re betting that a player wearing jersey number 31 or less than 31 scores the first touchdown. The arbitrarily chosen figure comes at a steep price: The San Francisco player who wears No. 31, running back Raheem Mostert, is a touchdown machine who crossed the goal line four times in his last game.
Over 31.5 (+140)
Under 31.5 (-400)

Will both teams score in all four quarters?

A yes means you think the 49ers and Chiefs will score a touchdown, field goal or safety in every quarter. Even with offenses as explosive as Kansas City and San Francisco’s, this is a lot to ask.
Yes (+140)
No (-270)

Will there be overtime?

Only one previous Big Game has extended beyond four quarters.  That was in 2017, when Tom Brady famously led the Patriots back from a 28-3 third quarter deficit against the Falcons, tied the game in regulation, and won it in overtime.
Yes (+350)
No (-375)

Will San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan blow another 28-3 lead in the third quarter? Shanahan was offensive coordinator of the Falcons in their unprecedented Big Game meltdown against the Patriots. His play calling was widely criticized and largely blamed for Atlanta’s historic collapse.
(Yes +50)
(No -2000)

PROP BETS WE’D LIKE TO SEE

Will a player injure himself in celebration and be unable to continue?

This would be a first in Big Game history, which explains the low odds. Injury owing to excessive celebration, though rare, isn’t unheard of. In a regular season game in 2001, an excitable Arizona kicker injured himself when, after converting a field goal, he jumped for joy and blew out his knee on the landing.
Yes (-400)
No (+120)  

Will the referee tossing the coin to determine who gets the ball first mistakenly call tails if it lands heads or vice versa?

This actually happened during a regular season Thanksgiving Day game a number of years ago. What will it be next, reviewing the coin toss?
Yes (+500)
No (-400)

Jan. 28, 2020, marks the second annual National Plan for Vacation Day, an idea that encourages Americans to plan their vacations early in the year and take them throughout the next 365 days. The Day is a leisure industry response to a curious trend that has seen Americans forego their vacation days, in many cases out of guilt, to work more often. In a nation of laborers who wear their work ethic like a badge of honor, vacations are well deserved but not often taken.

Las Vegas holiday attractions

UncategorizedPosted on

Christmas lights are almost redundant in a place like Las Vegas, the eternally glowing city whose preternatural radiance is visible even from outer space. Nevertheless, the holidays are a festive time in the Entertainment Capital of the World, and the city feverishly celebrates the occasion with seasonal events that are fun for the whole family.

If you’re spending Christmas with us at tropical Tahiti Resort, a South Pacific-themed property just minutes from the world famous Las Vegas Strip, you should take the time to sample the many wondrous attractions throughout the city – attractions that belie the notion of Las Vegas as nothing but an adult playground.

LAS VEGAS STRIP

Bellagio Fountains and Conservatory

The dancing waters outside the Bellagio, just three miles from Tahiti Resort on the Las Vegas Strip, put on a special holiday show featuring classic holiday tunes on the half and quarter hours throughout the Christmas season. While you’re there, step inside the hotel and marvel at the awe-inspiring Christmas display at the Bellagio Conservatory. It’s a spectacular winter wonderland that features abundant lights, poinsettias and a 40-foot Christmas tree!

Cosmo, Mandalay Bay, LINQ

While you’re on the Strip be sure to take in the holiday attractions at the Cosmopolitan, Mandalay Bay and the LINQ. Nothing is more emblematic of the holiday season than the Cosmopolitan’s rooftop ice skating rink overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. You’ll find fire pits, plenty of places to sit, and a menu of warm cocktails, comfort foods and hot chocolate. Snow showers fall every 30 minutes to complement the wintry holiday atmosphere. There is also a 65-foot digital marquee showing holiday movies while skaters navigate the 4,200-square foot rink.

ARIA

Not far from Tahiti Resort Las Vegas, the sweetest holiday attraction on the Strip resides at Aria, in whose lobby resides a 15-foot tall gingerbread house. The three-tiered display is seven feet wide, 12 feet deep and is comprised of more than 400 pounds of gingerbread in addition to more than 60,000 peppermints, 200 pounds of icing, 80 pounds of chocolate and more than 1,000 pounds of candy. It is accompanied by a 5-foot-tall gingerbread man who tips the scales at a svelte 120 pounds. Please resist the temptation to sample. The gingerbread house is for viewing only.

Venetian and Palazzo

These center Strip sister properties celebrate the holidays with thousands of lights, towering Christmas trees and nightly shows.

The Venetian’s 65-foot-tall Christmas Tree is lit with 50,000 programmable LED lights, adorned with more than 5,000 ornaments and weighs more than 12,000 pounds. It takes approximately 12 people nearly three days to install.

The Palazzo’s  winter gardens feature white poinsettias, ice branches and glittering frosted trees courtesy of the resort’s horticulture team. Hand-crafted white and pearl peacock statues overlook the guests.

Wynn

Not to be outdone, the neighboring Wynn celebrates the season with festive activities and events throughout the resort.

CELEBRATE LIKE A LOCAL

Ethel M Chocolates Holiday Cactus Garden

Located in suburban Henderson, about 13 miles east of Tahiti Resort Las Vegas, Ethel M Chocolates Holiday Cactus Garden is one of Las Vegas’ favorite holiday attractions. The three-acre Botanical Cactus Garden, adjacent to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory, is a sight to behold during the holiday season and features more than one million lights. Open through January 1, 2020, the annual event is free to attend. Visit us on select nights for choir performances in the garden and photos with Santa.

 

The Magical Forest at Opportunity Village

Celebrate the holidays with a cherished Southern Nevada tradition – the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village! The Magical Forest, approximately five miles north of Tahiti Resort Las Vegas, is filled with sparkling lights, nightly entertainment, great food and endless holiday cheer. Every year through Dec. 31 Opportunity Village’s Las Vegas grounds are transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring hundreds of trees lit with millions of bright LED lights and fun activities. Don’t miss it!

Mystic Falls Park Light and Water Show

Every year Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, approximately 12 miles east of Tahiti Resort Las Vegas on Boulder Highway, transforms its pioneer-themed Mystic Falls Park Light and Water Show into a Winter Wonderland experience. The holiday display gives visitors a peek inside Santa’s workshop, where the elves are busy making toys and loading the sleigh. A nine-minute holiday laser light show features classic holiday tunes and runs daily every hour.

Book a visit to sunny Tahiti Resort, a French Mediterranean-themed timeshare property just three miles west of the world famous Las Vegas Strip.

Las Vegas on the cheap

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Activities,  Miscellaneous,  Reservations,  Timeshare,  Vacation ownershipPosted on

How can you improve on a visit to Vegas and tropical Tahiti Resort, a South Pacific-inspired property just three miles from the world famous Strip? By visiting Vegas – and taking home more than you spent! As the undisputed Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas offers its 42 million annual visitors an abundance of activities unrivaled anywhere on the planet. Unsurprisingly, there is an upside and a downside to this cavalcade of entertainment opportunities. The downside? You can easily break your budget if you’re not paying attention. The good news is, you can enjoy all of Vegas’ infinite variety of treasures, often at a substantial discount, if you know where to look.

HOTEL ROOMS

Let’s start with ways to save on hotel room rates. There is no reason to pay full price if you’re willing to make a few simple concessions. First, consider a midweek visit when room rates are ridiculously affordable at even the high end Strip properties.

Next, consider sharing a room and splitting the cost. Also, make sure to investigate promotions on your hotel’s website. You can often find free buffet passes, show tickets and nightclub line passes in addition to other generous discounts.


RESTAURANTS

You should also join a hotel’s gaming club for immediate access to discounted room rates and exclusive promotions.  If you live in Las Vegas, be sure take advantage of generous rates for local residents.

You can score discount eats at many Las Vegas restaurants through Groupon, Travelzoo and DestinationCoupons. Another way to save on food is to take advantage of pre-show dinner pricing. Many Las Vegas hotel restaurants offer a pre-show menu offering great food at a discount price. Patronizing restaurants during happy hour and reverse happy hour is another good way to save on meals.

Buffets, as emblematic of Las Vegas as showgirls and slot machines, can offer great value for the devious. For instance, if you want to attend a dinner buffet and not pay the higher asking price, go to the cheaper lunch buffet and intentionally slow-eat your way toward the dinner hour, when the buffet staff substitutes the lunch items for the high-end dinner fare. You’ll save yourself a lot of dough and give new meaning to the phrase “all you can eat.”

Joining a hotel’s gaming rewards program and eating in a hotel’s food court are two other good ways to save on food during your Las Vegas visit.

 SHOW TICKETS

You can’t come to Vegas and not see a show. Unfortunately, tickets for many of the popular shows can cost you more than $100 per person. Here are ways to save:

Photo source: Tix4Tonight

Stop by a Tix4Tonight booth the day of the show and receive a 50 percent discount! It is advisable to arrive early in order to avoid the typically long lines.

Book online at the show’s official website. It’s where you’ll typically find the cheapest prices. Also, be sure to click on the hotel’s “Offers” tab under its show listing for exclusive deals.

Hotel guests are also eligible for discounted show tickets, so be sure to check what’s playing at your resort.

NIGHTCLUBS

Nightclubs in Las Vegas are as ubiquitous as buffets, and harder to get into. Mile-long lines greet you at the door on any given weekend night, and you can spend a guilt-inducing fortune on admission and bottle service if you don’t know the ins and outs and the ways around. First things first: get a V Card nightlife pass. You’ll avoid the lines and the cover charge and receive VIP access to more than 30 of Las Vegas’ most popular nightclubs and day clubs.

Females are advised to seek out club promoters for free vouchers to Las Vegas nightclubs. Promoters are highly visible on the Strip and typically wear the club’s T-shirt for easy identification. Another savvy move is to Google VIP Hosts in Vegas on Instagram and Twitter. They will get you onto the wait list if you text or call them by 8 p.m. Another effective tack if you are a group of girls is to ask the host if a group of guys with a table is looking for female company. The host will either pair the girls and guys in line to expedite the wait or send the girls directly to the guys’ table. You can also gain free entry into the hotel’s nightclub by eating in the hotel’s restaurant.

ATTRACTIONS

Procuring a Las Vegas Explorer Pass allows you to visit up to seven of the most popular Las Vegas attractions for one low price. The Las Vegas Explorer Pass will grant you discount admission to the High Roller observation wheel, Madame Tussauds, Hoover Dam, the Stratosphere Hotel observation deck, and VEGAS! The Show, and many other popular attractions.

Book a visit to tropical Tahiti Resort in world famous Las Vegas. With spacious condo-style accommodations and a 24-hour pool and hot tub, you’ll love experiencing Las Vegas on a budget that much more.

Stars of the Industry Awards Las Vegas Tahiti Resort

Meet our Stars of the Industry!

Blog,  Family Friendly,  General,  Las Vegas Events,  Miscellaneous,  Team,  TimesharePosted on

It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge two of our own for earning top honors at the 2019 Stars of the Industry Awards Gala Oct. 17 in Las Vegas.  Chris Breed, Vice President of Operations for Soleil Management, won the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year award. Dave Campbell, Tahiti Village Recreation Services Manager, took home the award for Management Professional of the Year.

Stars of the Industry Awards Gala Las Vegas Tahiti Village Soleil Management

Our Stars of the Industry Awards winners Chris Breed and Dave Campbell.

The event, sponsored by the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association and held annually in Las Vegas, celebrates exceptional professionalism and outstanding service of top individuals in the hospitality industry.

Chris joined the company in 2017 and served as Tahiti Village general manager until her promotion to Soleil Management VP of Operations in 2018. She is an active participant in our company’s community volunteer efforts and was appointed Vice Chairman of the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association in 2019.

“I was completely surprised to be chosen to receive this award,” Chris said. “The work that the NHLA takes on for the state is so beneficial. Assisting our emerging leaders through workshops, mentoring and networking is our responsibility, and something that I am personally passionate about and will continue doing as long as they will have me.”

Dave has overseen Tahiti Village’s recreation department since joining the company in 2016. He is responsible for putting in place many of the poolside activities and events our guests presently enjoy.  Like Chris, Dave is also an enthusiastic participant in our company’s charitable events, particularly as they relate to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada.

“Being nominated for this award was an honor itself, but to be selected is something I never would have thought possible as it relates to my career,” Dave said.  “The NHLA is a great organization that provides individuals opportunities beyond their roles at work, and that is something I am grateful for.  I have been working with young adults for over a decade, and I have learned two very important things:

Each day is something different that continues to shape the way I speak with individuals about work and their personal life.

If you have young adults on the team who are quick to voice their thoughts or introduce change, invest in them however you can. They are the ones saying, `Hey, I think this can be done better’ or `I don’t like the way this is going.’  These are the individuals who are taking the risk to stand out among their peers in a group that is quick to judge.

“I am humbled by this and will continue to pay it forward.”

In addition to Chris and Dave, we would also like to recognize our Stars of the Industry Awards nominees for their exceptional professionalism and outstanding service. They are:

Monique Makhlouf
Director of Learning and Development, Soleil Management
Category: Learning & Development Professional of the Year

Julian Ross
Director of Owner Services & Revenue Management, Soleil Management
Category: Revenue Management Professional of the Year

Thomas Gardipee
Front Desk Agent, Tahiti Resort Las Vegas
Category: Guest Services Professional of the Year

Michele Kline
Area General Manager, Tahiti Resort Las Vegas and Club de Soleil
Category: Woman in Lodging of the Year

Nominees were selected based on their length of service, their outstanding service skills as well their community involvement. A winner was chosen in each of 20 categories. We congratulate all our winners and nominees – they are truly Stars of the Industry!

PUMPKIN PATCHES IN LAS VEGAS

Halloween Town Pumpkin Patch

For more than 20 years, Halloween Town Pumpkin Patch has been providing excellent pumpkin choices to residents and visitors of Las Vegas. They do a step beyond that to celebrate Halloween with games, rides, and other activities. Their main location is Boca Park, but they have since branched out and have several locations. Boca Park is open October 5 -31. Additional locations open October 12-31.

HAUNTED HOUSES IN LAS VEGAS

Vegas Fright Nights

The spooky fun is hosted by Opportunity Village inside the Magical Forest. Begin the night with a visit to the Nightmare Manor where you may meet a demonic spirit or two. If you can make it through that experience, join the brave souls who are coming face to face with the scariest clowns you’ll ever meet.

 

The Trilogy of Terror

Ranked the scariest haunt in the country by USA Today and number one in Vegas by Las Vegas Weekly, this is the longest running horror show in town and a local and tourist favorite since 1992. Trilogy of Terror is home to three critically acclaimed haunted houses, including the first and only R-rated haunt in Nevada, the shocking Gates of Hell.

Asylum and Hotel Fear

They’ve been scaring Las Vegas residents and visitors for 20 years. We think they know pretty well what’s going to make us run screaming for an exit. Does that stop us? No! We love the thrill, and we are betting that you will, too. What makes this experience so cool is that the stories are linked. Feeling that romantic Halloween vibe? Why not get married at The Haunt? Sounds like a great idea to us!

FUN THINGS TO DO WITH KIDS IN FALL
