Las Vegas Hilton
Posted on September 5, 2008
If the Las Vegas Hilton was good enough for Elvis Presley, then it’s good enough for us all. Elvis stayed and performed at the Las Vegas Hilton more than 800 times, which means the gaming, entertainment, and accommodations are truly fit for a King.
The Las Vegas Hilton (so named in 1971) originally opened as the International Hotel in 1969 and served as the venue where Elvis Presley broke all Vegas show attendance records.
Las Vegas Hilton is located just one block from the Strip, and this resort offers a stop on the Las Vegas Monorail. It’s approximately four miles from McCarran International Airport.
Accommodations at the Hilton are elegantly appointed offering several modern amenities. The Premium Room offers plush pillow-top mattresses and bed linens, flat screen televisions, high speed Internet access, MP3 ports for digital players and other high-end amenities.

New Restaurant at Encore - Chef Jet Tila
Posted on August 25, 2008
Los Angeles chef about town Jet Tila has been tapped to open a to-be-named pan-Asian restaurant at casino mogul Steve Wynn’s new Wynn - adjacent Encore resort in Las Vegas.

Tila also has contributed to the Los Angeles Times and has appeared regularly on KCRW’s “Good Food.”
“America’s already very accustomed to Chinese and Japanese food, so it’s time to bring in bolder flavors,” Tila says. “Indian flavors, Singaporean flavors, and of course, Thai –- I think Thai has been misrepresented. I’m trying to bring it back to what it’s supposed to be.”

Bellagio Water Fountains - Musical Elegance
Posted on August 20, 2008
The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is one of the most luxurious hotels that exists in the city. If you can’t afford to stay there, you can always watch their beautiful music fountain shows that are displayed on an eight acre lake that is located in front of the hotel.
The movements of the water respond to the Bellagio Fountain music which varies, causing it to have slow movements and then rapid ones when the music grows more intense. Inspired by the Bellagio Resort in Lake Como Italy, the choreographed water is certainly a sight to see!
This video shows some of the music show and after watching it, it becomes quite clear that this is one of the many reasons why Las Vegas should be the next vacation trip you plan.
