Sin City hotel tycoon Steve Wynn unquestionably has a reason to be wound up about this holiday time. Investing about $2.3 billion, the eye-catching casino and hotel named Encore will inaugurate this week.

This lavish hotel and casino is attached to the very popular Wynn Las Vegas on the Sin City Strip. While tons of Vegas hotel-casino proprietors are trying to come across a manner to keep their hotels afloat, Wynn is flying high with his $billion hotel investments.

This 2000 room casino-hotel is a masterpiece in itself. The big attraction of this hotel will be the nightclub, dubbed XS. Wynn has seen in the recent past that nightclubs are a huge attraction in Las Vegas, Nevada, and not predominantly the hotel-casinos as they have been in the past. He thinks that Vegas nightclubs usually produce more money and are a massive meeting spot for the younger group.

Wynn has also created an extravagant eatery near the XS nightclub. Named after the well-known Colombian artist, Fernando Botero this circular restaurant has a large Botero carving as the centerpiece. Eventhough it is not as dramatic as the nightclub which it is connected to; the Botero steakhouse is thought to harmonize fairly well with the flamboyant LV nightclub.
The thought behind XS and Botero is a type of St. Tropez ambiance, where the celebration goes on without a pause and a big part of the partying occurs close to a swimming pool or beach-type setting. Things are certainly different in Sin City, where most people fancy parties to slot machines right now.

With close to a full year of no activity, the Mirage Hotel and Casino’s legendary volcano will be revived bigger and more fantastic than it has ever been. The legendary Las Vegas, Nevada hotel-casino is trying really hard to interest as many sightseers as possible to examine their renovations.

This upcoming New Year’s Eve, the stuntman Robbie Knievel will take a stab at a motorbike jump over the Mirage Hotel and Casino’s synthetic volcano. This stunt will mark the conclusion of a 3-year transformation of the Las Vegas hotel. During this time, the LV hotel has invested about $110 million enhancing their accommodations and suites.

This New Year’s Eve act is scheduled to be Knievel’s final stunt in the U.S.. The stunt will go on for 5 minutes and feature fireworks and a state of the art music recording. The music for the act has been composed by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart. Robbie Knievel is the son of the deceased Evil Knievel-the first and most renowned daredevils.

The Las Vegas, Nevada Mirage was opened in 1989 by Vegas industrialist Steve Wynn and was regarded as LV’s 1st megaresort. This reconstruction is one of a huge number on the Las Vegas Strip lately. The hotel-casino hopes that this feat will invite a large amount of vacationers to the Vegas hotel. The thought behind the overhaul is to do better than other massive LV hotspots like the Bellagio resort.

The Vegas event many boxing fans have been eagerly waiting for is happening this week. The Golden Boy will battle one of the sport’s present finest fighters, Manny Pacquiao. This match is scheduled for Sat. December 6th in the MGM Grand in Sin City.

Surely there has been much talk in LV about this contest. De La Hoya has cut his weight down to 147 lbs. to fight as a welterweight, and there have been rumors that Oscar could not be as sturdy since the drop in weight. ”Pac-Man” Pacquiao has previously boxed one time as a lightweight and wants to compete from now on in the welterweight group. Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao is also the current lightweight champ , and is judged by many boxing experts to be the best fighter of these times.

This is Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya’s first excursion back to Sin City for a bout since he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of 2007. This bout is no doubt a sell-out for the MGM Las Vegas. Tourists to Vegas have reduced lately, but Las Vegas events like this match really have a way of bringing fans to Las Vegas.

This boxing match will unquestionably be one people will be talking about for years to come as it puts together the two finest boxers of our time in a 12 round welterweight contest. The Golden Boy versus ”Pac-Man” Pacquiao tickets are on sale right now. If you see only one Las Vegas, Nevada event during 2008, this is without question the Vegas Event to see.
