Cirque Du Soleil Delivers With High-Energy New Las Vegas Strip Production ‘Mad Apple’
The rambunctiously fun grand opening of Mad Apple at New York-New York on May 26 made it official: This is the age of the variety show on the Las Vegas Strip. Pro sports events and superstar residencies have been grabbing the spotlight lately—and pushing the Vegas entertainment experience into colossal venues.

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.

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.

Things To Do in Summer in Las Vegas
(Video Publishers Notes) Las Vegas is most popular during summer, and despite the heat, it still does not stop tourists from visiting. There’s so many things you can do to keep cool however, whether you stay inside the hotels and casinos or join some sort of pool.
Choose wisely when looking for what hotel to stay in, as the pool is going to be a very important part of your stay. In this episode I will be taking you to a fun winter bar, then off to Cosmopolitan pool series for their pool movies on Mondays, then over to a dayclub, and finally a night museum. Make sure to pack the sunscreen and bring lots of water. Hope you like it!
