It’s been a while since we’ve given you a Travel Alert, so if you’re looking for somewhere to go while your kids are on Fall Break or just want to get out for the weekend, we’ve got you covered.

What could be easier than flights to Las Vegas? Sin City is a great place to spend a couple of days, though we would recommend no more than three. Throughout the month of October you can stay at the MGM for a mere $85 per night. Enjoy the floor to ceiling windows as you get ready to hit the strip. If you’re paying just $85 per night, you would think the room is small, right? Think again, because the smallest option is 540 square feet.

So, take a load off and enjoy this Fall in style at the MGM. 

Wynn Las Vegas debuts an all-new consumer website, WynnLasVegas.com, which gives travelers the opportunity to fully explore the resort’s offerings via a comprehensive gallery.  Succinct navigation will help travelers explore the hotel’s amenities and easily make informed decisions about rooms, restaurant choices and show reservations before booking the journey to Viva Las Vegas!

Unlike many hotel websites, WynnLasVegas.com has extensive galleries of room types, with photos that are augmented by text descriptions with descriptive details. Other photo galleries offer choices of restaurant venues; videos are also offered throughout the entertainment section of the site.

The website also provides visitors an authoritative overview of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore with a guided tour by Steve Wynn. In addition, the site contains exclusive interviews with top fashion designers Oscar de la Renta, Manolo Blahnik and Laurence Graff, providing visitors personal insight about Wynn’s collection of luxury retailers.

What does 180 million get you in Las Vegas these days? Well, if you ask the fine folks at the formerly famous (and now hopefully trendy) Tropicana Hotel, it will give you a complete hotel remodel and a monstrous new beach club from the world-renowned night club brand, Nikki Beach which opened over Memorial Day Weekend with a blowout “White Party”. In an effort to live up to the ever rising resort expectations of Sin City, the hotel, which opened opened in 1957, was a Vegas destination featured in films like Viva Las Vegas and Diamonds are Forever. It was even mentioned in the Godfather Part II which solidified its place in history, but not necessarily among the hot, new resorts that kept popping up on the strip like multimillion dollar weeds on a very adult playground.

Cue the transformation.

Now, the Tropicana Hotel is hard to miss when driving down the strip. With an entirely new (and bright white) exterior, new rooms, a new spa and updated fitness center, new retail, new restaurants and the opening of the world’s largest Nikki Beach Club, it seems the Tropicana adopted the American mantra, “newer is better” and left no detail in the dust. With the goal to “bring the best of South Beach to the heart of Las Vegas”, this is not your mother’s Tropicana Hotel. Bring your bathing suit, some sun block and drink something out of a coconut because Miami just met Vegas and it’s now only a 30 minute plane-ride away.
