Some Top Spots for Alfresco Dining in Las Vegas

Eating outside is one of the great joys of restaurant dining, but Las Vegas can get hot as blazes, and let’s not get started on the wind. Nobody wants to get scorched in a dust storm while eating a Cobb salad and sipping an iced tea. Thankfully, many Southern Nevada restaurants have created cool, shaded outdoor spaces where dishes — and good company — can be enjoyed with just the right touch of nature. Thumbs-up for misters and sunshades.

Once preflight preparation is complete, and before boarding, the pilot will escort their guests to the aircraft and conduct a safety briefing.

Throughout our Grand Canyon helicopter tours, the pilot will narrate the trip and answer any guests’ questions. The pilot serves snacks and champagne, plus takes photos of and with the guests at the canyon. Upon returning to the Las Vegas terminal, pilots are responsible for sanitizing and preparing the aircraft for their next tour and set of passengers.

Experience an unforgettable trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and fly with one of our amazing helicopter pilots on Maverick Helicopters’ Wind Dancer tour. On this one-of-a-kind Grand Canyon helicopter excursion, you will witness birds-eye views of Lake Las Vegas, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and more before descending and landing inside the heart of Grand Canyon West.

Where to Find the Best Barbecue in Las Vegas

Barbecue can be a touchy subject in Las Vegas. Conversations usually begin with “Vegas never had good barbecue until…” and then debates erupt over how to finish the sentence. Some restaurants earn equal amounts of praise and complaints. Others are automatically discarded for trite reasons (like being on the Strip, for example). So where to begin? While barbecue menus may look similar to the casual observer, the low-and-slow style of smoking meats leaves little room for error. A good operation requires the expertise of a seasoned pitmaster and well-crafted side dishes. A heavy dose of charm doesn’t hurt either. Ready to form an opinion of your own? Check out the following restaurants to see how the barbecue scene is booming in Las Vegas.

Newkirk’s Notes

Access Vegas Founder Ted NewkirkHello From Las Vegas! Masks are out (unless you choose to mask), and springtime weather is in the air. I don’t want to speak too soon, but things might just be getting back to normal.

A Sucker Really Is Born Every Minute – Roulette has emerged as the second most popular table game at the casinos last year, with the house pocketing over twice as much in 2021 as it did in 2020. Pent-up demand drove gambling revenue higher, casinos were unrelenting in raising table-game limits (even though it often resulted in empty tables), and a different strain of visitor may have been looking for more simple, social games to play.

This column, breaking down

– The possible worst game to play in the casino, and what to avoid about it.

– Is Sports Betting the future of gambling?

– You can actually be “King Of The Mountain” in Las Vegas

– What the latest visitor counts and gaming wins mean, and when should you plan your next visit based on that data?

…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Newkirk’s Notes

Access Vegas Founder Ted NewkirkHello From Las Vegas! 

Allegiant Stadium NFL VIP Seat Hack – I’d heard about this, and we got a chance to try it out. (It worked, but don’t tell the world. We’re only telling our Members). The 50 yard line club seats at Allegiant Stadium (and only those, not the other club seats) are labeled as VIP, All Inclusive seats. And guess what, they are!

This column, breaking down:

– This little-known Allegiant seat hack (which will save you money and get you the top VIP perks)

– The little-known town an hour from Las Vegas that should be on your relocation list, and why.

– What your rights are when a casino machine malfunctions or a dealer makes an error. Even if the casino won’t make it right!

…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Today at the craps machine, something really messed up happened. The machine hit four 6’s in a row, all were when the dice showed 5- The machine locked up on the fourth 6 instead of paying everyone who bet on the pass line. The error message was triggered because it hit the exact same kind of 6 four times in a row, a 5 and a 1 on each dice.

The slot attendant came by and reset the machine. No one was allowed to take down their bets on other numbers besides the pass line. No one betting on pass line or placing the 6 got paid for the fourth 6. The next roll was a 7 out, of course. And everyone was livid. The manager was with the slot attendant and seemed like he did not care. I wonder if people have recourse because of this glitch. It’s not a malfunction if the dice legitimately hit 6 four times in a row as a 5-1. If that occurred at a table everyone would get paid on the fourth 6.

Newkirk’s Notes

Access Vegas Founder Ted NewkirkHello From Las Vegas! – Well, I had this issue all prepped. Then, The Mirage got sold (signaling a fair amount of pending change), and the Oakland A’s baseball team made a bid deal about possibly buying The Tropicana and sticking a baseball stadium there.

What few are talking about is a major new trend quietly hinted at by MGM Resorts a couple of weeks ago, and apparently getting solidified by the plans the new owners of The Mirage has.

Hard Rock International Buys The Mirage – We finally know who the buyer is for The Mirage. It has been no secret that Hard Rock wanted to establish a presence on The Strip, and spent just over a billion dollars to do so. That just for the business and the buildings. Not the land nor the brand name.

– What’s Next For The Mirage?

– Are They Really Going To Build A Guitar-Shaped Hotel Tower In Front Of It?

– Have We Seen The End Of The “Mirage” Name In Las Vegas?

If “Supper Clubs” Are The Future of The Las Vegas Strip, We’ll Have Some More, Please

The most exciting thing about the current supper club trend on the Las Vegas Strip is that it’s not really about supper clubs. That term likely inspires images of old-school Vegas-casino dining spaces with vintage decor where you can enjoy cocktails and food and great live entertainment without paying for a ticket. There certainly are fragments of that experience at various venues that have popped up on the Strip during the past two years, but like the resorts that host them, these destinations are too special and different to fit together under a single banner.

I don’t do sports really, unless you count horses, however I look to see there is a line on even the Bahama Bowl in a week and a half. Using it as a hypothetical, how accurate do you think the line is on Middle Tenn and Toledo? I have a notion given the obscurity there might be some value (few would take a deep dive on Middle Tenn.). 

Then again, since they are likely not to be bet heavily, perhaps the experts have their way and end up setting the line even if set incorrectly at first (not much in the way of dumb money).

Las Vegas Tours & Attractions

Valley of Fire, Bowl of Fire both perfect for fall excursions

Southern Nevada’s favorable fall weather translates into good times in outdoor spaces that have fire in their names. Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead’s Bowl of Fire are two spots worth visiting on these cooler days. Vibrant and geologically stunning red rock formations are clustered in the state park about an hour north of Las Vegas, and along the far reaches of Northshore Road in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. In the months of May through September, sizzling temperatures can make both areas dangerous for those who want to roam around and soak in the scenery. The rocks retain heat like cast-iron cookware, and shade is rare. By contrast, precious days without winds too strong or temperatures too low in November through February are ideal for planning short or long hikes and simple or elaborate picnics.

Best Hot Dog In Las Vegas at Dirt Dog plus Bally’s Grand Bazaar Shops

(Video Publishers Notes) I don’t normally eat fast food, but had to try the famous Dirt Dog Las Vegas at Bally’s Grand Bazaar Shop’s and it was totally worth it! This spot is hidden so you cant really see it if you’re walking down the Las Vegas Strip in front of Bally’s. You have to go down into the Grand Bazaar Shops and go to the end of the area closest to the CVS side. You will not be disappointed!
