Celebrate National Hot Dog Day At American Coney Island At The D! TODAY!

Downtown Las Vegas has gone to the dogs…hot dogs that is! Today,  July 23 American Coney Island, home of the original Coney Dog, invites guests to venture to the D Las Vegas to celebrate National Hot Dog Day.

With locations in both Las Vegas and Detroit, American Coney Island has become one of America’s most celebrated hot dog destinations. Founder Gust Keros coined the phrase “Coney Dog” and introduced the now legendary treat to the city of Detroit in 1917. American Coney Island eventually found a second home in Sin City, opening at the D in 2012 and bringing a little Detroit flavor to Downtown Las Vegas.

A true Coney Dog starts with a high-quality, specially seasoned, natural-casing Dearborn sausage brand hotdog. It is topped with the Keros family secret recipe Coney Island Chili Sauce, fine mustard and sweet chopped onions and served in a warm steamed bun.

Making a name for itself from coast to coast, American Coney Island has been featured on The Today Show, Iron Chef Michael Symon’s “Food Feuds” on the Food Network and The Travel Channel’s “Food Wars.”

8 Million Pounds Of Dirt Now Has New Equestrian Center At South Point Ready For Events!

After installing eight million pounds of dirt, South Point Arena and Equestrian Center’s new Priefert Pavilion is officially open for business. South Point broke ground on construction of the new equestrian facility in spring 2013 to launch a joint project to expand the current Arena and Equestrian Center and build a new bowling tournament facility.

The Priefert Pavilion offers an additional 100,000 square feet of competition space to the already existing South Point Arena and includes two new world-class arenas within the center’s unique blueprint. In addition, the current Arena and Equestrian Center offers more than 1,200 climate-controlled stalls, an indoor practice arena and a 4,600-seat main show arena. In total the South Point Arena and Priefert Pavilion now offer more than 240,000 square feet for events.

With more than 31 weeks of equestrian and rodeo events scheduled in just 2014, the new arena space creates a unique opportunity to expand on current scheduled events while also introducing South Point to new events of a much larger caliber. Since the announcement of the Priefert Pavilion, South Point has added nine groups to the 2015 event roster that have never before hosted their event in Las Vegas.

“We envision the new Priefert Pavilion will allow us to continue enhancing the premier equestrian facility in the country while increasing our hotel room occupancy by 15,000 room nights in the first year of operation,” said Ryan Growney, general manager of South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “Not only will the two additional arenas allow our current events to grow, but our partnership with the Preifert family will allow us to coordinate some of the most unique equestrian events in the country. This is a win-win scenario for South Point and Las Vegas as new groups continue to bring their business to our city.”

South Point is Las Vegas’ only property to offer three state-of-the art transformable arenas suitable for the city’s vibrant event scene. South Point, commonly referred to as “Vegas Cowboy Central,” is home to a variety of exceptional events, including the Arabian Breeders World Cup, Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association’s (CMSA) Western U.S. Championship, Indian National Finals Rodeo, multiple National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Cutting Horse events and the World Series of Team Roping. In addition, the Arena hosts collegiate basketball tournaments, BMX competitions, the annual Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con, Western lifestyle expos, the annual Art N’ Ink Festival and a variety of other entertainment niches.

Marble Hot Tub Helicoptered In To Luxe Hotel Nobu In VEGAS!

Just when you thought you’d seen it all in Las Vegas, here’s something you don’t see every day. A flying hot tub. It’s true. A custom-made Japanese-inspired onsen tub was dramatically delivered by helicopter to the world’s first Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace.

The five-person tub is well traveled. It was built in Italy and has already traveled by sea and by land. It travelled by air courtesy of a helicopter with the famous Caesars Palace as its backdrop to reach its final destination on the terrace of the soon-to-debut Nobu Villa – the crown jewel and finishing touch of the Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace.

           

The final element needed for completion of the world’s first Nobu Hotel, the onsen tub was carefully placed on its home perched high above the lights of Las Vegas on the terrace of the lavish 10,300 square-foot Nobu Villa. The ultimate sky-top lodging, the Nobu Villa is luxurious and plush yet maintains a relaxed and modern look and feel. In addition to the Zucchetti KOS mini pool, the Nobu Villa’s notable outdoor space offers an expansive 4,700 square-foot terrace overlooking the center of the Las Vegas Strip with sweeping views, robatayaki grill and zen garden. The three-bedroom villa is the epitome of relaxation and luxury. Additional standout features include a signature omakase sushi bar, ultramodern media and game room, gym and massage room, private elevator and art gallery.

Brody Jenner Spins At Hotspot Hyde Nightclub In Vegas!

Brody & William

Brody

Friday night, Brody Jenner made his Sin City DJ premiere at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Once primarily known for his roles on hit reality shows including MTV’s “The Hills” and E!’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Jenner’s passion for music recently led him to pursue a career DJing. He’s made a name for himself with a nightclub residency in Atlantic City and buzzed-about shows in major cities including Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas, but last night, Jenner took on what has become the DJ capital of the world – Las Vegas – with his first-ever Sin City set at Hyde Bellagio.      

 

Kaitlynn & Brody

Kaitlynn

Sporting a blue suit accented by a black T-shirt and trucker hat, Jenner arrived at the sleek night spot just after midnight alongside stunning super model girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter. Before his arrival Brody tweeted, “Tonight I’ll be checking out the new @DoubleBarrellv for dinner then I'll be in the DJ Booth at @HydeBellgio goo.gl/pYB87g  #LETSGO.” After enjoying a feast of gourmet comfort food at the Strip-side all-American Double Barrel Roadhouse, Brody’s entourage headed to Hyde Bellagio, where the budding DJ was met on the red carpet by screaming fans and stopped for interviews and posing for photos before heading inside the packed Fountain-side hotspot.

Once inside, the group, which included Brody’s DJ Partner William Lifestyle, made their way to a plush VIP booth overlooking the dance floor as Hyde’s performance artists gave them a warm welcome with flashing lights and giant letters spelling out “B-R-O-D-Y.” The crowd erupted into a roar when the emcee announced, “Make some noise for Brody Jenner!”

DJ Direct got the party started with some bumping beats, but Brody was eager to take the turntables. Pausing only for a moment at his table to snap photos and enjoy a drink with friends, Brody made his way to the DJ booth as the crowd went wild.

Brody opened his set with a mix of the popular “Turn Down for What” by DJ Snake and Lil John as showers of confetti rained over the dance floor. He continued to drop heavy hip-hop beats by artists including Drake, Iggy Azalea, Lorde, Sage The Gemini and more – even mixing in “Ni**as in Paris” by new brother-in-law Kanye West. Kaitlynn showed support for her beau, dancing alongside in the DJ booth and even taking a few spins on the turntable when Brody sweetly pulled her in close.

Later in the evening, Brody thanked the crowd and Hyde Bellagio for hosting him before mixing up his style with rock throwbacks such as “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana and “Livin’ On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi. Brody brought down the house when he announced, “We’re gonna switch it up right now,” launching club hit “Summer” by Calvin Harris, the first EDM track of his set, as partygoers went wild.  

In a swirl of confetti, cocktails and club-goers, the party raged on into the early hours of the morning as Brody and William Lifestyle kept the beats pumping from behind the turntables.
