Living Large in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is known for its overabundance of everything, and when you have the money to spend, there simply are no limits to what can be enjoyed. Private helicopter tours of the Strip or the Grand Canyon are just the beginning of the adventures that await upscale travelers. Arrive by private jet and limo for the ultimate start to your adventure.

There are behind-the-scene tours that offer a glimpse of some of the Las Vegas magic. Certified divers can dive with more than 30 sharks at the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef Aquarium. Certified divers can also get a unique perspective from below the water and watch a live performance of the show Le Rêve at the Wynn Hotel, while diving in the 1.1 million gallon aqua theater.

True car enthusiasts will want to take in the opportunity to drive vehicles such as a non-street legal Ferrari F430 GT race car at Dream Racing, a NASCAR race car at Richard Petty, or rent a high-end or exotic car for the duration of your stay. For those who like their adrenaline rush in the sky, you can get a fighter pilot experience at Sky Combat Ace.

Over-the-top packages at Las Vegas’ hottest nightclubs put new meaning to the idea of a big night out on the town. The Fire in the Sky fireworks packages at the Cromwell Hotel’s Drai nightclub begins at $20,000 and goes up from there based on the duration of the rooftop fireworks show and the bottles chosen. You can even control the Fountains of Bellagio with a $250,000 package at Hyde.

The signature Ono cocktail at XS in Wynn Las Vegas will cost guests $10,000, but don’t worry it’s a cocktail for two. Ordering the cocktail is an experience, complete with a procession of 20 servers and sparklers and tableside assembly. Champagne and a rare cognac are the main ingredients of the cocktail served in custom-designed stemware. Guests also receive trinkets to keep as mementos of the extravagant night including custom-designed cufflinks and a gold, pearl and diamond necklace.
