    1.  Party at a different pool and nightlife hotspot everyday of the
        weekend. Kick things off at Ditch Fridays at the Palms then head to
        LAX inside Luxor for late night dancing. On Saturday, head to WET
        Republic at MGM Grand followed by an exclusive party at The Bank at
        Bellagio. Conclude the weekend at the infamous Rehab at Hard Rock and
        a night at Jay Z's 40/40 Club at The Palazzo. Call in sick on Monday
        and grab one more day in the sun at Relapse at Flamingo.

    2.  Be styled like a celebrity. Visit the hair colorist to the stars at
        Caesars Palace's Color, a Salon by Michael Boychuck, or get an
        enviable new do at Kim Vo at The Mirage. Meanwhile, a custom tan from
        Sunset Tan at Palms Place ensures that your body is ready for a
        glamorous night on the town.

    3.  Dining alfresco at top-notch restaurants with unmatched view. Enjoy a
        beautiful poolside setting at Bouchon at The Venetian or dine by a
        shimmering lagoon at Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare at Wynn. Spend the
        afternoon playing a game of bocce ball while enjoying mouthwatering
        menu options at Rao's new Bocce Bar & Grill at Caesars Palace. The
        large Strip-side patio at Trader Vic's at the Miracle Mile Shops at
        Planet Hollywood provides some of the best people-watching in the
        city.

    4.  The biggest shows and brightest stars within walking distance. Elton
        John, Bette Midler and Cher have taken over The Colosseum at Caesars
        Palace and Barry Manilow packs the house at the Las Vegas Hilton. The
        curtain rises on Mamma Mia! at Mandalay Bay and Jersey Boys at The
        Palazzo, while five different Cirque du Soleil shows entice guests to
        enjoy a different world.

    5.  The hottest entertainment, poolside. Friday Night Live at Hard Rock
        offers entertainers like Lit, Unwritten Law and Smashmouth. The
        Sandbar Backyard at Red Rock Resort hosts Crosby, Stills & Nash while
        Gnarls Barkley will light up Mandalay Beach with the Outernational
        Festival.

    6.  A stunning collection of designer shops. Vegas is home to more than
        700 different retail outlets and 11 million square feet of shopping.
        The Las Vegas Premium Outlets offer ultimate savings on top designers
        like Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, A|X Armani Exchange and Kenneth Cole.
        After a big win at the tables head to one-of-a-kind shopping venues
        including Mandalay Place, Wynn Esplanade, The Forum Shops at Caesars
        Palace, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Fashion Show Mall,
        Town Square and The Shoppes at Palazzo.

    7.  Rooms to suit every taste, desire and budget. Whether you need a
        basketball court in your room like the Hardwood Suite at The Palms or
        simply an extravagant suite fit for a mogul like those at the new
        Trump International Hotel, Vegas has you covered.

    8.  Vegas is a golfer's paradise. More than 60 courses boast challenging
        play, beautiful landscaping, flowing waterfalls, rolling greens and
        amazing mountain views. The sexy T-Mates at Rio Secco provide personal
        golf concierge services, while the exclusive 18-hole championship
        course at Wynn is located right behind the resort on the Las Vegas
        Strip.

    9.  Have fun without spending. The Fountains at Bellagio and Sirens of TI
        are shows playing nightly on The Strip. Head indoors at Rio for the
        all-new Show in the Sky or see the Gondoliers at The Venetian for some
        romance. Catch the Fremont Street Experience at the newest downtown
        hotspot, Gold Diggers at Golden Nugget.

    10. Travel the world without a passport. Where else but Vegas can you take
        in some of the world's most iconic landmarks all in the course of a
        day? The Venetian, Caesars Palace and Bellagio provide a whirlwind
        tour of Italy. Take a photo at the Eiffel Tower at romantic Paris Las
        Vegas or get a taste of tropics in the desert at Flamingo and Mandalay
        Bay.
