Get Supernatural

Described as a “trip through the hits,” the Supernatural Santana show at The Joint, delivers that and more. This is your chance to see a guitar legend live, onstage, and playing better and tighter than ever before. If practice makes perfect, Carlos Santana’s decades of experience and natural-born talent has reached a level of Zen.

No matter the age, any music lover with a true appreciation for talent and musical expertise will enjoy Supernatural Santana. While the main feature of the show is, of course, rock legend Carlos Santana, the show also features a talented percussion team and engaging vocal artists.

In addition the overall production quality, including lights and effects, is top notch. Supernatural Santana is not only worth the ticket price, it is a must-see Las Vegas event because this is a rare opportunity to witness an explosion of 40 years of rock and roll experience live and in-person. The audience not only hears Carlos Santana’s talent, passion and love for rock and roll during this amazing two hour show, the audience feels it.

Solve a Crime in Las Vegas

Entertainment is aplenty in sweet Sin City, but only at the MGM Grand can you solve a crime! CSI:The Experience allows you to play detective. You are assigned a case and it’s up to you and your team to solve it. Not only do you have to figure who did it, but you also have to figure exactly what happened (don’t believe what you first see) and how it happened. It’s an experience worth experiencing. Test your skills for puzzles and games.

CSI: The Experience is great fun. Here are a few photos from my experience. Enjoy!

Complimentary admission received.

Finding Luxury in the Sky

One expects to find luxury in Las Vegas, but the experience one encounters at Skylofts at MGM Grand is so supreme and memorable, it redefines the word luxury.

Perched on the top two floors of the MGM Grand, the suites of Skylofts are modern, slick, sophisticated and impressive. Featuring gorgeous interior design, amenities that pamper, a breathtaking view and personal butler service, Skylofts provides a stay that is so richly decadent, guests will want to move in permanently.

The Skylofts at MGM Grand isn’t just a set of rooms in Las Vegas. It isn’t  just some place one stays. No. The Skylofts at MGM Grand is an experience of luxury and high-life that completes the Las Vegas adventure. But don’t just take my word for it. Read customer review here.

Store Review: West Elm

It’s modern, contemporary furniture and home decor. At West Elm, you’ll find affordable, inspiring home designs. If you’re ready to upgrade your Ikea lifestyle (and if you’re in your 30s or above, you most likely are), then West Elm is your next step toward adulthood.

There’s only one West Elm store in Las Vegas and it’s located in Green Valley at The District. The store itself stands out in the outdoor shopping plaza with a facade that is aesthetically pleasing and a modern style entry door that is both appealing and slightly intimidating.

But set aside all apprehension, or you will miss out. Sales staff members are friendly and helpful and not at all pushy. Merchandising is beautifully set and awe inspiring. You may leave West Elm empty-handed, but you will not leave empty on ideas.

Prices are Ikea-esque, but West Elm quality and design is beyond compare. Get rid of your dorm room mentality and join the rest of us. West Elm is strictly for the grownups.

Store Review: PH8

I’ve never been a sportswear-kind-of-girl. Oh sure, I wear workout gear when I’m exercising, but I am so perplexed by wearing what I think is way too casual attire for public eye, that I don’t even go to public gyms. I workout at home. And I would have never ever considered wearing sportswear to run errands or for travelling. That is until fate introduced me to PH8.

Formerly bebe sport, PH8 (pronounced fate) is new to the Las Vegas shopping scene. Featuring athletic gear and casual sportswear, PH8 makes exercising, doing yoga and visiting the spa chic and fashionable. Prices are reasonable and range from $19-$139. I found some super-soft, cotton leggings for only $22. They’re made well, fit well and flatter my derrière.

I left so impressed with PH8 that I am now a reformed dressy fashionista. Now that I know I can wear sportswear and still be flashy, stylish and stunning, I’m keeping PH8 on my shopping radar. And I suggest you add it to yours.

It’s hard to believe this is sportswear!

Store Review: Banana Republic

On Thursday, September 10, also known as Fashion’s Night Out, Banana Republic hosted an exciting grand opening party for their new store concept at Fashion Show Mall. The event was also hosted by the ever-popular 944.com and helped to raise awareness of the local Las Vegas non-profit organization Aid for AIDS Nevada, as Banana Republic made a donation to the group. Complimentary cocktails and champagne were provided along with a DJ. Seen at this fashionable soiree were Melinda Sheckells, Managing Editor of 944 Las Vegas, Jason Feinberg, Fox 5 News Anchor and Las Vegas’ favorite stylist and Trend Editor for “MORE,” Joey Gonnello.

Attendees were presented with a Banana Republic store unlike any other. At the front entrance sits a boutique style room with ceiling-attached, hanging garment rods and a clean, minimal design. As one continues to enter further into the store, the experience is much like walking into a luxuriously oversize walk-in closet with a focus on the deep, dark wood of the interior. Think rich and welcoming.

To the left are three rooms filled with stylish menswear, while to the right are three rooms filled with classically tailored and fashionably trend-setting women’s pieces. Moving toward the back of the store, shoppers are greeted by a large room filled with men’s and women’s accessories and shoes, including two jewelry cases filled with gorgeous pieces. Mannequins are minimal, which complements the clean layout of the store. The few mannequins that are present, are exquisitely styled with outfits and accessories that tempt customers to leave the store with the identical look.

I left the event with Octagon Jewel Ring as featured below. While I loved just about everything at Banana Republic, and I say this as someone who rarely ever shops at BR, what I loved most were the accessories. The Banana is definitely stepping it up a notch. As I said to my friends, “The Banana is getting, like, all fashion-y.” And I mean it. My favorite pieces are featured below. The new store at Fashion Show Mall is located on the upper east level, near Betsey Johnson and across from Journey’s. Because of the impressive design of this particular brick and mortar, if you’re going to shop at a Banana Republic, this is the only one you should bother visiting. To visit any other would simply be settling for less.
