Las Vegas has a gun store.

You can shoot all types of guns that you’d normally never be able to even touch.

And they have numerous bars, lounges and nightclubs. Posh places with loud music, beautiful people and great ambiance.

But they don’t have a combination of the two. Until now.

The Machine Gun Lounge is a combination of nightclub and club. (Albeit alcohol free).

It’s opening on December 15th, right behind the Mirage Hotel and Casino.

Guests will get help from “Stunning Gun Girls” who are certified as Range Safety Officers through the National Rifle Association.

There will also be targets based on popular villains such as Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and [Muammar] Gaddafi

The owner, Genghis Cohen, explains the idea behind the Machine Gun Store:

‘Gun Ranges in America have always been tacked on to gun stores up until now.

‘We’re the first luxury, dedicated gun lounge in the world. Machine Guns Vegas has changed everything.
‘The right to bear arms was in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The building blocks of this great nation.’

What do you think? Would you go check out the new Machine Gun Lounge?

According to UltimateClassicRock.com,

“It’s the kind of place that we’d like to hang out at,” Skynyrd frontman, Johnny Van Zant tells The Daily Meal. “With Southern-style barbecue and great music, this will be the perfect spot for rock and barbecue fans to kick back and have a great time in Vegas.”

Will Miami become the next best vacation destination?

There are rumors of a possible luxury casino in Downtown Miami.

Vegas giants Steve Wynn and the Las Vegas Sands (owner of the Venetian and Palazzo) are rumored to be interested in building a multibillion dollar casino resort on a 20 acre site.

The property would be built close to the AmericanAirlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat. The luxury resort could boost the local economy by add hundreds of jobs and massive tax revenues for the city. The site would also make it a popular vacation destination for people going to Orlando.

According to the Miami Herald,

Known as the Miami World Center property, the 20 acres near AmericanAirlines Arena now has a new financial backer to help assemble the final pieces of the site and jumpstart development. A source close to the project said Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn walked the site as recently as last month.

Steve Wynn has already publicly stated interest, and thinks Miami could generate $3 billion in gambling revenues a year.

What do you think? Would you rather vacation in Vegas or Miami?

The Bellagio is still one of the nicest resorts in the world.

Originally built in 1998, the $1.6 billion resort was one of the most expensive of its kind.

The Fountains of Bellagio is still one of the most unique experiences around. The lake is 9 acres and has over 1,200 individual nozzles and 4,500 lights.

While the hotel hasn’t changed much, they’re starting to make some important updates that are sure to turn heads.

New Room Design

When the Bellagio first opened, the rooms were the nicest in Vegas.

But over the last few years, they started to suffer from wear and tear and old age.

The new rooms are bright, with large floral patterns that remind you of the fountains outside. They also have new carpeting, bedding, mattresses, and furniture.

They also go rid of the old tube televisions and replaced them with sleek, modern 40 inch flat screen HD TVs.

You can see some new pictures here on Vegas Chatter.

This is a guest post by Kieron, one-half of the team at travel blog Don’t Ever Look Back. With the support of Fox Rent a Car, Kieron and his partner Amy drove around California for 12 days last month and will be sharing some of their stories on the Fox Rent A Car Blog.

Las Vegas is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World with its giant casinos and world-class nightlife. The strip definitely comes alive at nighttime, but there are also many activities and sights to keep you busy during the day as well. Here are 5 activities that we really enjoyed during our time in Sin City.

1. M&M’s World Las Vegas

Four floors of chocolate heaven and a 3D movie theater make this one hell of an attraction. Still not convinced? The second floor of M&M’s World has floor-to-ceiling containers filled with every single color of M&M you have seen (and more!) where you can mix and match your candy at a price of $9/pound.

2. Lion Habitat at MGM Grand

Open between 11am and 7pm daily, the Lion Habitat at MGM Grand lets you get up close with their lions – only an inch-and-a-half of soundproof glass separates you from these magnificent creatures. If you want to get even closer, you can get a photo with the lions starting at $25.

3. The Fountains at Bellagio

Most people go and see The Fountains at Bellagio after dark, but there are also afternoon shows that you can watch completely free of charge. These happen every half-hour after 3pm on weekdays and every half-hour after midday on the weekend so if you’re bored, go and check them out.

4. Go Shopping

No matter what your tastes or budget, Las Vegas has it all. Each casino seems to have its own collection of stores and there are premium outlets located just off the strip. Two of the bigger malls on Las Vegas Boulevard are the Fashion Show Mall and the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood.

5. Get Off The Strip

Sometimes you just need to escape the madness of Las Vegas Boulevard and the best way to do that is by getting off the strip. Red Rock Canyon, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon are all within driving distance and can be explored in a day.

Las Vegas is an interesting place.

You can have all kinda of different experiences. One time with friends you party and gamble all night long. A business trip in Las Vegas is a little more calm, and you typically just want a quieter night to yourself. And a trip with your loved one includes a fabulous dinner, and impressive show.

At the end of the day, you’ll need the perfect hotel for each type of trip. Here are some of our favorite top Las Vegas hotels for romance, business and budget.

Romance

Wynn Las Vegas

I admit, the Wynn is my favorite. And there’s no better place to bring your loved one.

It has the perfect mix of fun things to do and refined luxury. It also feels smaller and more intimate than some if it’s competitors.

The Wynn also just renovated their rooms last year, so they are still some of the nicest rooms in the entire city. The only rival the Wynn has is it’s sister property, Encore.

Business

Trump Las Vegas

Image courtesy of ♀Μøỳαл_Bгεлл♂

Now this may be a shock. But let me explain.

The Trump is in the perfect location. Just down the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center. And you can easily walk to the Wynn if you’re looking for gambling or a night out.

But it’s quiet, casino-free and a really good deal compared to other 5 Star hotels. They’re also condos, so you have a refrigerator and stove tops in your room.

Budget

Tropicana Las Vegas

Under new ownership, the Tropicana Las Vegas is back.

They’ve renovated the dark, dingy casino. They’ve added Nikki Beach and improved the pool area.

The new rooms are also really nice, clean, and just the right amount of luxury. Compared to similar hotels on the Strip, there is no better bang for your buck.

What about you? What are your favorite hotels for each class?
