Vegas hotel tycoon Steve Wynn unquestionably has a reason to be anxious about this Christmas time. With an investment of around $2.3 billion, the brand-new hotel and casino dubbed Encore will open in the next few days.

This luxurious casino and hotel is connected to the very popular Wynn Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip. While many Vegas hotel investors are trying their hardest to discover a direction to keep their hotel-casinos afloat, Wynn is doing extremely well with his billion dollar hotel-casino investments.

This 2000 room hotel is a great addition to the Wynn Las Vegas. The big attraction of this hotel will be the nightclub, called XS. Wynn has seen in the recent past that nightclubs are a huge attraction in LV, and not primarily the hotels as they were before. He says that Las Vegas, Nevada nightclubs frequently make more income and are a big draw for the young set.

He has also created an extravagant restaurant adjacent to the XS nightclub. Named after the well-known Colombian artist, Fernando Botero this circular steakhouse has a gigantic Botero carving as the centerpiece. Eventhough it is not as stunning as the nightclub which it is adjacent to; the Botero steakhouse is created to match pretty well with the loud LV nightclub.
The design pertaining to XS and Botero is a sort of St. Tropez feel, where the celebration chugs along nonstop and the majority of the partying occurs next to a pool or beach. These times are certainly different in LV, where many folks would rather social gatherings to slots nowadays.

Following around one entire year of no activity, the Mirage Hotel and Casino’s well-known volcano will be revived bigger and more stunning than ever before. The legendary LV megaresort is pulling out all the stops to attract as many visitors as they can to explore their redecoration.

This New Year’s Eve, the daredevil Robbie Knievel will have a crack at a motorbike leap over the Mirage Hotel-Casino’s manmade volcano. This jump will indicate the ending of a 3-year transformation of the LV casino and hotel. Over the course of this period, the Sin City casino has spent about $110 million improving their rooms and suites.

The upcoming New Year’s Eve feat is said to be Knievel’s last feat in the U.S.. The act will continue for five mins. and have explosives and a state of the art music soundtrack. The music for the presentation has been performed by Mickey Hart (former Grateful Dead drummer). Robbie Knievel is the son of the deceased Evil Knievel-the first and most famous daredevils.

The Las Vegas, Nevada Mirage was opened in 1989 by Las Vegas tycoon Steve Wynn and was considered Vegas’ first megaresort. This reconstruction is one of a large cluster on the LV Strip as of late. The casino-hotel wishes that this show will draw tons of sightseers to the LV hotel-casino. The idea behind the reconstruction is to outdo other iconic LV hotels like the Bellagio casino.

The Las Vegas, Nevada event tons of boxing fans have been waiting forever to see is finally taking place this week. The Golden Boy will battle one of the world’s current top fighters, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao. This competition is taking place on the 6th of December in the MGM Arena in Las Vegas.

No doubt that there has been much talk in LV about this match. De La Hoya has dropped down to 147 lbs. to box as a welterweight, and some agree that The Golden Boy might not be as sturdy since the weight drop. Manny has in the past participated one time as a lightweight and wants to compete from now on in the welterweight class. Pacquiao is also the current champ in the lightweight division , and is thought of by many authorities to be one of the best boxers of the moment.

This is De La Hoya’s first excursion back to LV for a match since he took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of 2007. This boxing match is without a doubt a sell-out for the MGM Grand Garden Arena Las Vegas. Sightseers to Las Vegas have reduced lately, but Las Vegas events like this boxing match seem to have a way of attracting people to Las Vegas.

This bout will surely be one for the records as it brings together the two best boxers of this generation in a twelve round welterweight contest. Oscar De La Hoya versus Manny Pacquiao tickets are still available for purchase. If you were to attend only one Sin City event in 2008, this is undoubtedly the LV Event to enjoy.
