Making waves in Western Malibu, Malibu Makos Surf Camp is a sunny haven for surf enthusiasts and ocean lovers of all ages. With a focus on safety and fun, it's the perfect place to learn how to surf or sharpen your skills. Beyond the surf, the camp o

Malibu Makos Surf Club

It's almost a right of passage for westside kids who love the beach! Growing up in Malibu, almost everyone I know has spent a Summer learning to surf with Malibu Makos. My brother has even taught camps throughout the years, including this year, where he was able to share his love and skills with his seven-year-old son.

Las Vegas Aces

Most people don't even realize you can go horseback riding in Vegas, so you're going to love this little taste of the Wild West. This is your chance to get off the Strip and see what else the Southwest has to offer. It's a great way to spend a sunny 

Wild West Horseback Adventures

Most tours are around five hours, so when you get back to your hotel in the afternoon, do something easy like lay by the pool. They'll pick you up at almost any Strip hotel 30 minutes prior to departure, so you don't have to worry about rideshare or parking.

Being on The Strip, given its prime location, you might anticipate some sacrifices in amenities. Yet, this couldn't be further from the truth. This course is famously designed by Tom Fazio and recently reimagined by his son, Logan Fazio. It is also b

Wynn Golf Club

This golf course is good for all skill levels and there's a pro shop if anyone in the group didn't bring proper golf attire. They have full locker rooms which is very convenient when you have other business associates coming from other hotels. Early mornings fill up quick so reserve in advance. Reservations must be booked via phone only.

You've never seen anything like "O" by Cirque du Soleil. For starters, the watery stage is actually a pool that holds 1.5 million gallons of water and is 25 feet deep. The cast includes more than 75 performers from over 16 countries who are some of t

"O" by Cirque du Soleil

I enjoy the La Grande Experience which includes a pre-show experience in a VIP area with a guided video tour, hors d’oeuvres, an exclusive meet and greet with the artists, VIP Suite seats, and private cocktail service! Depending on the show time chosen, Prime and Le Cirque are both prefect pairings.

A great way to impress a business group after dinner. It pairs well with Lago or Michael Mina. If you are flying solo, just book one of the first few rows. You won't be able to take your eyes off the performance. Arrive a little early to find your seat and grab a drink.

Featuring New York-inspired Italian American cuisine and a beautiful dining space made for large groups, this delicious concept pays homage to the family-centric restaurants of the mid-20th century. This Major Food Group restaurant steps back in time

Carbone Las Vegas

They are famous for the spicy Rigatoni, Veal Parmesan, and Lobster Fra Diavolo. Trust me, I know you’ll want to, but don’t fill up on the bread basket! Make dinner reservations in advance; this is one of the most difficult reservations to get hands down.

Have your server bring around the rum cart. They have a really nice selection of rums and fantastic rum-based cocktails. Save room for their Nutella tiramisu and some coffee!

It's probably one of the best restaurants in the city! Great service and the tableside presentation is so classic. Order the Caesar salad that's prepared in front of you or the spicy rigatoni.

NY Pizza Suprema, established in 1964 by Salvatore Riggio, has been a cornerstone of New York's pizza scene even before Madison Square Garden moved nearby. Originally offering only plain cheese slices, Sal's philosophy was to excel in one thing rathe

NY Pizza Suprema

One of the truly best pizzas in NYC. Perfect curst, flavorful toppings, and reasonable prices. While they have a great cheese slice, one of my favorites is Hot Honey Pizza with mushrooms, ricotta, and mozzarella, finished with a hot pepper infused honey. Other good ones are Chicken Ranch and Meat Lover’s Pizzas.

Palette is a home run as some of the highest quality dim sum in town. This Chinatown spot aims to create an artistic experience for diners, where their dishes are colorful and beautifully presented. The Shanghai soup dumplings, called xiaolongbao (dr

Palette Tea Lounge & Dim Sum

In most restaurants, you get vinegar and scallions to pour on the dumplings, which can be a messy process. I’ve never seen ANYONE in the world create vinegar caviar. These little balls made of vinegar and scallion melt the second they hit the dumpling and are the perfect ratio. My other favorites are the wagyu beef fried rice, the coffee ribs served in a coffee cup and doused in a coffee-flavored sauce, and the Mapo tofu, which is a vegan dish made of a tofu brick paired with Impossible meat and a crispy noodle base. 

Under the watchful eye of James Beard Award-winning Chef Nancy Silverton, Osteria Mozza offers a refined taste of Italy in Los Angeles, combining the talents of their renowned chefs with a vibrant atmosphere. The ambiance, characterized by its sophis

Osteria Mozza

Get their Caesar salad - it's deconstructed and amazing. Also, don't miss their mozzarella tasting (they are known for their mozzarella bar) and order it with the garlic bread. And PLEASE do not miss the egg yolk ravioli - it's huge and incredible. Overall advice: Go for the pasta over the entrees.

Le Thai is what happens when a family offers up their deep love of food to the public for the pure joy of it. Every recipe here comes from the owner's mother, who was not only one of the first pediatricians in Las Vegas but was also from a prominent 

Le Thai

Try the short rib fried rice with a fried egg on top. Ask for a Thai iced tea or coffee in a “to-go” cup for a sweet treat after the meal. Be sure to plan this with a trip to Container Park that's located right down the street.

One of the best helicopter tour providers in Las Vegas, Maverick has a swanky terminal on The Strip and promises once-in-a-lifetime experiences and memories. Take a nighttime flight over the glittering Las Vegas Strip or land on the floor of the Gran

Maverick Helicopters

Sit in the back left seat, right behind the pilot, if you want the best view of the Strip. This is the best seat for photo taking. And you'll also want to make sure you factor in the Bellagio Fountain show schedule so they're going off during your flight.

Just do it! You will not regret this experience; it is so unique and really fun! If you are a nervous flyer, there's no need to worry, they offer their guests a glass of champagne pre-flight. This experience is great for children two and older, as well as solo travelers, couples, and groups. They have a max weight limit of 300 pounds per person. Maverick offers a shuttle pick-up from your hotel and a return with their premium option including a car service. Book your flight times and purchase tickets in advance. The Vegas Views experience fills up quickly.

For the ultimate VIP experience, consider booking the entire aircraft. Book all 7 seats! The sunset flight time varies depending on the time of year. You'll want to dress for the weather and closed toe shoes are recommended. They will cancel flights based on wind and storms.

Step back to the jazz era with the Delilah Supper Club inside the Wynn. This fine dining restaurant harkens back to the classic supper clubs of the 1950s with glitzy decor, live music, and multiple environments for guests to dine, socialize, and enjo

Delilah

Request a table near the stage or have a seat at the bar in the main dining room to be a part of all the action! Stop in the bubble bar when you enter for a cocktail before making your way to the decadent dining room. They are strict on no photos, so snap at your own risk, and no children under 12 are allowed. After 7 pm, it's 21+ only.

This is a local and global celebrity hot spot. It’s definitely one of those places to see and be seen. First and foremost: you can order chicken tenders with two really good sauces and be dressed to the nines without judgment. The Encore Plateau (seafood tower) goes great with a bottle of champagne. I also really enjoyed their Prosciutto and Summer Melon dish.

On the menu, Smith’s Beef Wellington for two gets the most attention, often overshadowing the many other great steaks. But Smith also gets playful, and casual, with dishes like wagyu pigs in blankets, chicken tenders and a dry-aged burger. At the center is a small stage where jazz artists offer interpretations of rock and hip-hop standards alongside the classics. There are no photos allowed within the restaurant, which helps preserve the “wow factor” when you walk through the door and find yourself immersed in one of the most glamorous dining rooms in Las Vegas.

A red-hot marvel where the temperature and landscapes compete for attention. Vivid rock formations resemble masterful paint strokes on sandstone waves, and delicate arches, petrified forests, and ancient petroglyphs are all scattered throughout. It's

Valley of Fire State Park

Fire Wave is an easy hike that's best early in the day when crowds are lighter and pic/videos can be taken without hikers in the background. There's a short time when you hike through sand, so empty your boots before getting back in the car! Atlatl Rock features a block of red sandstone inscribed with primitive petroglyphs. It's adjacent to the parking lot and up a 50 ft staircase. No hiking required! My favorite is the easy-moderate White Domes Canyon trail that goes through sherbet-colored sandstone that can be strenuous. Two more easy trails are the Beehives and The Cabins. Wildlife to watch for: Bighorn Sheep, Coyotes, Tortoises, Antelope, Lizards, Snakes, Birds, and Roadrunners.
