HOW TO DO IT UP RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS: TOP 5 MUSTS

What makes Las Vegas such a compelling travel destination is the way it caters to all needs. Like, all of them. Here’s a little motivation for diversifying your stock portfolio, joining the 1%, and heading to Vegas with some filthy riches in your pocket.

STAY IN A SUITE WITH ITS OWN INFINITY POOL
The suites of the Palms, looking out over the strip, have one magical feature (and it’s not the multiple bathroom or flat screen TVs). A private infinity pool takes over your balcony, its glass deep end affording you an unobstructed aquatic view of the strip, and the chance to swim and feel obscenely rich at the same time.

TAKE A LIMO…EVERYWHERE
Cabs are plentiful and affordable. But if you really want to feel as if you’ve arrived in the city of sin, get our boys in Presidential Limousine on the line, arrange for a driver, and never go anywhere without making sure you can be drinking champagne at the same time.

RENT A PRIVATE BUNGALOW AT ENCORE BEACH PARTY
Don’t get us wrong, you’ll have a great time here even if all you spend is the nominal cover charge to get in. But if you’re flush, you’ll want a private bungalow. Not only do you get bottle service and your own bathroom, shower, and flat-screen TV, but you share an infinity hot tub (truly the only way to swim, see above) with the cabana beside you. So you just stare at the horizon, drink from your pitcher of margarita, and enjoy deadmau5 as he spins for the beautiful people in bathing suits just beyond the edge of your own little rich person oasis.

RENT A PRIVATE CABANA AT XS’S NIGHT SWIM
Once you’ve gone private cabana, you can never go back. A massive pool defines this Sunday night party, where you gaze upon the clubbing, swimming, gambling throngs from your own volume-controlled slice of desert heaven. Take a break to go swim-dancing with the little people, throw down some money on the roulette table, and then head back for your bottle of vodka.

ONLY EAT FRENCH-INFLUENCED TAKES ON AMERICAN CLASSICS
Because Vegas is so aggressively populist, their best restaurants often specialize in gourmet takes on American classics – cheeseburger and fries, donuts, hot dogs. Great chefs have worked hard to make incredible food that resembles things that people from Minnesota and Toronto will recognize, and the result is delicious and appropriately expensive. Search out the weirdest “classic American with a spin” food you can, and then buy the most expensive thing on the menu. We promise, the lobster burger will blow your mind.
