OCT. 22:

The Fray

Literally an overnight success, Denver-based rock band The Fray saw double-platinum success after its debut single, "How to Save a Life," was heard on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy." On its fourth album, "Helios" the band worked with Stuart Price, who's produced albums for Madonna and The Killers, to find a more unique sound using electronic instruments, drum samples and enormous backing vocals; they also opened up their songwriting process to those outside their camp. The result is one that's had everyone from Ryan Seacrest to Jimmy Kimmel calling. The Foundry at SLS Las Vegas, 702.761.7617

It’s like you’re riding the projected roller coaster in “Saturday” and are watching the sun rise in “Circle of Life.” It’s everything a Las Vegas show should be, and, well, it’s Elton.

The show is a full-force tour through Idol’s lengthy catalog. Oct.. 12, 14-15, 19, 21-22, 7 pm.

Las Vegas Your Way

Guys' Trips

Girls' Trips

First Timers

Whether or not your weekend resembles "The Hangover," you'll want to catch these don't-miss experiences. Ease your way into the Strip's offerings and kick back at MGM Grand's (1) Whiskey Down, where you can get your first try of the table games while downing premium whiskey. You might not think it could get any better, but that would mean you've never watched football at (2) Sapphire, where hundreds of Vegas' hottest exotic dancers get all dolled up in football attire— do you watch the pole dance or the game?

Finally, make your evening complete with the ladies of (3) Fantasy; their show will play on your deepest desires and is choreographed by the greatest in the business. The cast was named “Best Showgirls” in the 2015 Las Vegas Review-Journal’s “Best of Las Vegas” poll.

A little relaxation, a little stimulation—Vegas is a great playground for the ladies! Our spas rank among the world's best; our favorite for a spa-cation is (1) Spa Costa Del Sur at the South Point, with its fabulous amenities and treatments unlike any other in town.

Spice up the night with the (2) Thunder From Down Under; these Australians with rock-hard abs will titillate you for a good two hours of naughty fun. And the glorious (3) Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis at Caesars Palace is exactly what the name implies, a perfectly manicured environment befitting royalty with eight different pools that cater to sunworshippers and swimmers alike. Best of all, you don't have to be a hotel guest to gain entry; it's available to non-guests for $20 and worth every penny.

Undertaking your first trip to Vegas? Welcome! Here are the things you absolutely must do while you're here. Get grand views of the Strip on the world's highest observation wheel, the (1) High Roller at The Linq Promenade. You can even do yoga on the High Roller, sample Ethel M Chocolates' treats or celebrate happy hour here. One of the most recognizable iconic attractions in Las Vegas, the (2) Bellagio Fountains snake delicately to current and classic music. More than 1,200 dancing fountains reach up to heights of 460 feet and out to a span of 1,000 feet. Vegas has become a foodie town, but where to start? Tour the culinary landscape with (3) Lip Smacking Foodie Tours; lunch and dinner excursions are available, and you'll be able to try up to five of Las Vegas' best restaurants.
