HOTELS
Spooky Suites Debut at Westgate Las Vegas
If you're more into skeletons than sunbathing, Westgate has the perfect seasonal escape. Just off the Strip, the resort is now booking its new Halloween and Day of the Dead-themed suites.
The Halloween suite features gothic décor, flickering candles, spooky portraits, and plush red-and-black furnishings.
The Day of the Dead suite honors Día de los Muertos with vibrant decor and cultural flair.
Both suites include over 1,100 square feet, two full bathrooms, a wet bar, and plenty of photo-ready details.
Rates start at $408 for loyalty members and rise to $446 on weekends.
Country superstar Blake Shelton is bringing his boots (and possibly more cocktails) back to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace with eight new shows in January 2026.
The “Live in Las Vegas” run returns Jan. 15–31
Fans can expect hits like “Texas,” “Pour Me a Drink” (with Post Malone), and classics like “Austin” and “Some Beach.”
Shelton promises a more “country” vibe this round with more fun and “questionable decisions.”
He remains active with his Las Vegas bar Ole Red and recently attended The Run for a Million with Gwen Stefani.

Downtown Las Vegas gets a jolt of electric cool this weekend with the debut of Pachi-Pachi — a Japanese-themed cocktail bar, listening lounge, and art-filled sensory trip from Branden Powers, the creative mind behind past Vegas hotspots.
Pachi-Pachi blends Tokyo alley vibes, Japanese cocktails, and surreal art in an 80-person immersive lounge.
Culinary highlights include “Ghost Noodles,” garlic karaage, wagyu burgers, and cucumber tataki.
Cocktails like the Oni Spicy Margarita and Sakura Collins bring bold Japanese flavors to your glass.
The music transforms daily: morning house beats shift to evening Japanese lounge and late-night DJ sets.
🌸 Doors open this Friday at 10 pm at 211 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
OPENINGS & CLOSINGS
Clique Bar Is Back: Hotter, Boozier & Ready to Party

After nearly 10 years of cocktails and clubby vibes, Clique Bar & Lounge at The Cosmopolitan is back from its makeover, and yes, she’s serving main character energy.
Major facelift alert: copper, gold, and enough banquettes to inspire poor decisions and perfect selfies.
New cocktails include “Mango Sunfire” and “Mishima Sunset”—because basic vodka sodas are for amateurs.
Fan-fave bites return (deep-fried Oreos, anyone?) plus fancy newcomers like lobster rolls and Wagyu meatballs.
Opens Aug. 29 with new hours: 4 pm. weekdays, 10 am weekends (because brunch drinking is self-care).
