Luxurious Luxury Las Vegas Suites For Extreme Luxury


Las Vegas is a city of fun, excitement, and romance. On a mission to find the very best of the best when it comes to Las Vegas luxury we wanted to explore luxury Las Vegas suites. And not just any suites but the kind of memories you want to not STAY in Vegas but actually take this one with you if you know what I mean.
Here is a wonder list of lush Las Vegas suites. I am talking about suites made for Kings and Queens. This should give you some great ideas for spring and summer travel plans. We plan to do more features on Las Vegas luxury suites, so stay tuned.
Four Seasons Presidential Suite  Around $3,000 a night
The Presidential Suites offer a level of comfort and refinement unparalleled in Las Vegas, from the large living area complete with baby grand piano to the separate media room with surround-sound stereo system in the master quarters.


 
  

 Palms Hefner Suite Around $40,000 a night (Yes you read it correctly)
Sitting atop the Fantasy Tower is a suite so extraordinary, it's where Kanye West held court at MTV's 2007 Video Music Awards--and invited Common, Soulja Boy and T-Pain over to live the good life. The suite features an outdoor, cantilevered Playboy Jacuzzi® pool with glass end wall and spectacular view of The Strip. This incredible space showcases the best of everything including a large living room, full bar, media room, dining room, fully equipped gym with sauna and a spa-style treatment room. For some unexpected panache, enjoy the glass elevator, eight-foot, round rotating bed, an extrhehefa-large show tub, pop-up plasma televisions, poker table, an outdoor terrace with Strip views, and sunbathing areas with a bar. This premier penthouse suite will have you living large.
 

Venetian Chairman Suite Around $15,000 a night

By invitation ONLY and only five Chairman Suites at the Venetian and valued at 5 million dollars. 
From the moment you enter the Chairman Suite’s mosaic tiled entryway with trickling fountain, you might think you’ve entered ancient Asian palace; however, there’s no shortage of the modern in these ultra-luxury suites on the 34th to 36th floors. Twenty-seven plasma TVs, a karaoke room, dry sauna, and gym are all state-of-the art. There’s also an eight-seat theater room for movie viewing in luxury. The suite even has its own beauty salon, where an aesthetician from the Canyon Ranch Spa can provide you with a customized facial or massage.
 
 
Palms Hardwood Suite Around $25,000 a night
Assemble your own Dream Team. Just like MTV did for the 2007 Video Music Awards when Justin Timberlake and Timbaland along with guests 50 Cent and T.I. raised the roof. This is the only suite in the world with an indoor basketball court. Covering 10,000 square feet on two floors, this party room features a basketball half-court, adjacent separate professional locker rooms with private access, scoreboard, pool table, full bar with lounge and room to dance. But wait, that's not all. This suite wouldn't be up to stature without three NBA-sized Murphy beds on the basketball court, NBA memorabilia, a large dining area, living/media room, iPod® Hi-Fi, Jacuzzi® tub, and 42" plasma TVs. Plus, you can customize your stay with your very own team jerseys and cheerleaders on the sidelines. Game on!

In Review Top 10 Best Steakhouses in Las Vegas


Finding the best steak in Las Vegas may be one hard selection considering the variety of options. So where do you start if you want to find the very best top steak in Las Vegas? There really is such a thing as the perfect steak, happy hunting. 


To make the task a little easier here is an excellent review of the 10 best steakhouses in Las Vegas. Why not try them all out! 

1. CARNEVINO: The best steak in town? The answer is simple. If you're a connoisseur of aged beef, order one of the 6-to-8-month-old, dry-aged beauties from Molto Mario's Italian steakhouse in The Palazzo.

2. CUT: CUT is all about variety in a lineup of carnivorous delights. For a price, it will put before you three cuts of the best steaks in the world: A-5 true Kobe (Wagyu) beef from the Kagashima Prefecture in Japan; prime, hormone-free, corn-fed sirloin from Nebraska; and 35-day dry-aged beef from Illinois. Those steaks are presented in raw form first, perfectly trimmed, and ready to tempt you off that low-cholesterol diet you've been struggling with.

3. CRAFTSTEAK: The trouble with ranking Craftsteak in any steakhouse competition is you could eat here forever and never think about ordering a piece of beef. The vegetables (many trucked in from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market) are some of the most pristine anywhere, and chef Matt Seeber has a fine way with fish as well — making this a steakhouse even vegetarians can love. If it's steak you're after, though, the American wagyu skirt steak — almost purple-red and rich with beef flavor — is the best deal on the menu. 

4. DELMONICO: Along with Prime in the Bellagio, Emeril Lagasse's bastion of beef in the Venetian was among the first of our great meat emporiums. As with Carnevino, all of this top-shelf beef (and Cajun specialties like killer crab cakes and N'Awlins gumbo) are available at lunch. Sometimes the Bam Man can go overboard with his caloric creations, but there's no denying the perfection of his dry-aged rib eye, matched with one of super-sommelier Kevin Vogt's wines from the Wine Spectator Grand Award list. Caesar salad lovers should note this one is made tableside (the way it should be), and is one of the best versions around. 

5. STRIPSTEAK: If butter basting is your thing, then Michael Mina has got the cut for you. The conceit here is to sous-vide (vacuum poach) the meat at a low temperature before finishing the cuts over a wood-burning grill. This results in a rib eye or porterhouse that is as tender as these cuts can get. Like many steak chefs, Mina puts a lot of love into his sides. His spinach soufflé, duck-fat fries, foie-gras sliders and Kobe shabu shabu might be even more interesting than that large slab of steer muscle that brought you here. 

6. PRIME: The guy whose name is on the door — Jean-Georges Vongerichten — comes to Vegas about as often as I go to a monster truck rally, but this place has bred some serious talent over the years — including molecular wizard Wylie Dufresne and Kerry Simon. Rob Moore (now at Jean-Georges Steakhouse in Aria) has supervised the stoves over the past five years and even with his departure, you can be assured this place will rarely miss a beat. It may be the most expensive steakhouse in town, but it is also the most beautiful, and the six-peppercorn-encrusted strip steak (and the short ribs and the veal chop), along with outstanding side dishes, keeps Prime in the pantheon of perfection. 

7. NERO'S: Once called the Spanish Steps, a steakhouse has been located on this corner of the sprawling Caesars casino as long as we can remember. Now called Nero's, it serves some of the best dry-aged steaks in town. The Black Angus beef comes from Creekstone Farms — one of the top purveyors of hormone and antibiotic-free beef in the country — and are better by far than the steaks in better-known places. The New York strip competes with the best in town, but we love the chateaubriand, served with a nice vegetable assortment and a perfect Béarnaise sauce that is so good, you know there's a Frenchman — in this case corporate executive chef Eric Damidot — behind things in the kitchen. 

8. SW STEAKHOUSE: The room has never been one of our favorites — huge, open and with all the charm of a bus station inside the Wynn — but there's no denying the succulence of the steaks, or of chef David Walzog's tasty sides. That big open space and stupid, intrusive Lake of Dreams light show does nothing to deter the crowds though, which show up every night for dinner. Before coming to Las Vegas, Walzog made his name at Strip House in New York, where he perfected his potatoes rosti, signature creamed spinach, truffled creamed corn and lots of other things to make your heart beat faster.

9. N9NE: Military-jet afterburner decibel levels and wall-to-wall poseurs do nothing to deter the throngs who pack this place nightly in hopes of spotting an Ashton here or a Gaga there. The food is secondary to the scene, but doesn't have to be. The Kobe burger is top drawer, and the kitchen is justifiably proud of the crab-stuffed 'shrooms, fried rock shrimp, colossal lump crab cake and braised beef ravioli with melted root vegetables. We also love the super-charred steaks (grilled at 1,200 degrees) and could spend all night sitting at the bar watching hotties do their celebrity-spotting in between bites of our sirloin. 

10. THE STEAKHOUSE AT CIRCUS CIRCUS: Another forerunner of our plethora of prime rates a wave for longevity (24 years), dry-aging its beef on premises, and for cooking the steaks just right over super-hot mesquite charcoal. Its biggest drawback is that you have to walk through the seedy, low-rent, no-tell-motel smells of the Circus Circus to get to it. Once inside, all of that will be forgotten as you tuck into a superior steak, in clubby, masculine surroundings, for 10 bucks less than the same piece of meat costs in swankier digs.
