Tidbits and Teasers: Faux Ice Rink at The Venetian, The Cosmo Gets Iced, Hangover III on Fremont St.


The Venetian's Faux Ice Rink is Back
The second year of Winter in Venice is getting under way this week at the Venetian. Enjoy ice skating, gondola rides, and live outdoor and indoor free events as well as glowing L.E.D spectacularness during the most wonderful time of the year. What's unique is that the skate rink atop the water in front of the Italian-themed resort is actually recycled polymer (no ice was created in the making of this rink). The rubber-like surface is treated with oil to remain slick for skating. I saw the rehearsal for the skate shows which will be offered free twice per night Nov. 18 - Jan. 6, 2012. Skate rentals will be available for willing participants.

Real Ice Skating Rink at the Cosmopolitan
Looks like the Cosmopolitan is getting in on the skate rink action this year, only with real ice in place of their Boulevard Pool. The Cosmo starts their festivities Nov. 30 post Thanksgiving Day, through Jan. 20, well past the New Year. Children over age two with supervision are allowed. Could the Venetian inspire more pools turned ice next year too? I hope so. This is the first year with two places to ice skate in Vegas. 

Fremont Hangs with Hangover III Film
The Hangover III filming was all the chatter over Twitter and other media this week as the Downtown Fremont Street area was shut down from Tuesday Nov. 13 at 6pm to Wed. at 6am. Look for scenes in the upcoming film to feature Downtown. Let's face it, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas when it comes the the Blockbuster Hangover film series.

24 hr.Vegas Strip Club Opens Day Club "Sapphire Pool", Cinco De Mayo Wknd. 2013

The largest topless strip club in the world just got larger, and it decided to go outside to expand. The club was 70,000 feet before and boasts topless dancers, and an all male review for the ladies in a separate showroom. It even has a comedy and variety show. Several stages, 400 entertainers and open 24 hours, many could ask how that could be improved. Enter the great outdoors. The $8 million day club is pretty swanky. The cabanas are lush and plenty. Comfort? Yes. Completely separate but visible VIP? Yes. On-site grill, tons of shower fountains and also lovely water falls mixed with a full bar and amazing service will obviously be one of the hottest new and lasting clubs in Las Vegas. The 800 capacity pool area will be a go-to spot, especially after the launch they have planned. What sets it apart? Dancers are not necessarily doing lap dances, but they will be making new friends and lounging at the pool in their off times says Shai Cohen one of the organ...

The Amazing Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Containing the "Mother"

  Here we are again. 100 years since the last pandemic, not much in science has changed: wear a mask, social distance and so forth. That's all they could tell us until the preventative vaccines came along, and even they hold no guarantees. Harkening back to what works I have recently stumbled upon an amazing natural food remedy that has pretty much changed my life. It's just fermented fruit at its core, pun intended, and it's just apples.
