There are few places in the world that offer such decadent experiences in one small strip of space. Las Vegas, with its abundance of top-rated restaurants, stores and resorts, has no shortage of ways to live it up while in town.
Even when it comes to hair. With its close proximity to Los Angeles and its rotating door of celebs in town, there’s a demand for some of the best stylists in the world to set up shop in Las Vegas. And, they have.
For visitors arriving on flights to Las Vegas, a drive down the Strip or a stop in one of the resorts could result in quick trim or a dramatic new look.
While nearly every resort offers a salon with a full-range of services, these are sure-bets to walk out feeling like you just stepped out of a photo shoot.
The Strip:
Color – A Salon by Michael Boychuck, Caesars Palace: We featured a profile on the talented Boychuk a few months ago, and, with his roster of celebs making the visit to his posh salon, it’s no surprise he’s on our list. Boychuck and his team offer a luxurious salon experience and a range of services, including extensions, coloring, and more. There’s even a hair florist to add a little flair for weddings and special events.
Kim Vo Salon, Mirage: Celeb stylist Vo’s salon at Mirage is the perfect place for a girls (or guys) afternoon. For guys, enjoy the game on a flat screen while getting a shave; for the ladies, soak your toes, sip cocktails and get a trim. Think you want something a little more dramatic? Kim Vo’s has a Beauty Bar where you can try on wigs to see if a new color is right for you.
Christophe Salon of Beverly Hills: While MGM Grand undergoes a remodel, so can you. Reserve a chair at this salon and experience the decadence of a lasting Vegas salon. Christophe himself visits this outlet a couple of times a month. Here, every client is a VIP.
Off-Strip:
Amp, Palms Hotel: Another Boychuck salon, this house of beauty has brought in Britney Spears and more. Like the hotel, Amp is a celeb enclave, offering extensions, color services and more.
Tonic Salon: It’s a good drive Off-Strip, but this Bumble & bumble/Aveda salon is worth the drive. With everything from Great Length extensions to the Brazilian Straightening Treatment, Ruben Fisher and his team of stylists offer first-class services with impressive results.

Hotel Havoc! Annoying Characters You Meet At HotelsComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
I wake to banging doors and loud conversation. I step out into the hallway and it appears Hansel and Gretel were here as a path of Cheerios leads to the loud room in question. I walk into the elevator and what do we have here? Sopping wet teens in their swim trucks and no shoes create a slippery mess for the next elevator occupant. I wander down to the hotel lobby and it appears a group has decided to take over the space for an in-hotel party. I squeeze past one of the partygoers to grab a cup of coffee included in my room rate and receive several glances like I just crashed the party uninvited. I’m dealing with all of those annoying people you meet in a hotel....read more

Taste Testing Portugal’s Classic Eats and DrinksComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
After spending several months in Italy, I was skeptical Portugal would amaze me at the dinner table. To make matters worse for the country, I had just come back from Spain, no slouch in the food department either. Amidst Italy, Spain and France, Portugal’s drinks and dishes don’t always make it on to the foodie’s radar. And after a few bites and drinks at an old tavern in Viseu, I was hooked. I was missing Portugal as a food and drink destination. If you are headed to Portugal or need a push to consider going, a few meals and glasses of wine prove an empire of discovery and exploration did this country’s palette right....read more
