SBE, a creative national and international hospitality company and proven leader in the real estate industries, will officially break ground on the SLS Hotel & Casino Las Vegas (or SLS Las Vegas), a fully-integrated, entertainment-driven resort and casino with more than 1,600 guest rooms and suites.
Having built a reputation for managing and operating award-winning hotels, restaurants and nightlife, SBE will now bring new life to the north end of the Las Vegas Strip on the grounds of the iconic, former The Sahara hotel.
Scheduled to open in fall 2014 and designed to be one of the most energetic hotels on the Vegas Strip, the SLS Las Vegas is expected to pour $400 million into the local economy and create an anticipated 8,600 direct and indirect jobs.
Stockbridge Capital Group of San Francisco, a real estate investment management firm, is an equity partner in the project.
“We’re creating a mix of approachable offerings with established brands under one roof that are managed and owned by one company,” said Nazarian. “As a result we’re able to align operations and program a seamless guest experience throughout every square foot of the property.”
The new SLS Las Vegas luxury hotel will feature a collection of restaurant concepts including The Bazaar by José Andrés, Katsuya by Starck and Umami Burger plus the Griddle Café commended for their breakfast, lunch, dessert and cocktail menus. Party at four nightclubs including a reinvention of Shelter, and The Sayers Club known in LA for their exclusive live music venue.
Fred Segal-branded high end boutiques will be the exclusive retailer occupying a 10,000-square foot property offering a wide range of fashionable and sophisticated merchandise.
“With our proximity to a resurgent downtown community and the convention center, and our mix of nationally relevant brands, SLS is ideally positioned to appeal to locals, destination tourists and conventioneers,” added President of SLS Las Vegas, Rob Oseland. “Today is a day we’ve all been waiting for, and we’re thrilled to be a part of reinvigorating a legendary section of the Strip.”
Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria – Fun In the Vegas Sun
Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria Resort & Casino

Located at the Aria Resort & Casino in CityCenter, the luxurious Liquid Pool Lounge guests can enjoy eight private cabanas, each with a 40 inch flat screen TV and mini refrigerator.
Liquid opened last year but this adult-only pool lounge has quickly gained a reputation as a top-flight destination due to its its distinctive contemporary ambiance as well as ultra VIP service.
The entire Liquid property feels like a modern tropical retreat, consisting of 16,000 square foot and includes three stunning pools, perfect to cool down from the summer Las Vegas heat.
There are two VIP pools surrounded by large tropical plants. Relax and enjoy the sights in one of Liquid’s 85 chaise lounges or 35 day beds.
Don’t miss the champagne fire drill for the ultimate pool party fun. Beautiful bikini clad women surround the Liquid pool’s edge. After blowing their whistles and shaking up bottles of champagne, the champagne rain sprays down on the scantily clad women for all the men to enjoy.
Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria Resort & Casino
Compared to other popular Vegas pools and nightclubs like TAO, XS Encore and Wet Republic, Aria’s Liquid Pool Lounge is secluded and offers a more intimate setting where the fun party never ends.
Liquid also features a 50-seat restaurant, where Chef Brian Massie serves up a delicious menu of light-hearted entrees and appetizers. The fish tacos are very popular. There’s also a full service bar, along with a DJ and hot sound system to listen to all your favorite music.
Liquid is the perfect place to hold your bachelor party or bachelorette party, birthday party, or other special event.

“Da Vinci – The Genius” Exhibit Extends Popular Las Vegas Engagement
Mona Lisa
We reported back in June about the exciting “Da Vinci – The Genius”” exhibit being held at the luxurious Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. The art exhibit has been so popular that coordinators have decided to extend the Las Vegas engagement until January of 2013.
From its world debut of a new Leonardo da Vinci work to revealing the “Secrets of Mona Lisa,” the hit exhibition has infused new life into Vegas’ emerging arts scene.
<h3>Since the art exhibit’s opening this summer, Da Vinci – The Genius has brought the incredibly creative mind of Leonardo Da Vinci to life with a deep dive of his work as an inventor, sculptor, artist, musician, anatomist, engineer and architect.</h3>
There are more than 200 unique pieces of art on display for patrons to enjoy that represent the full scope of Leonardo da Vinci’s remarkable genius. Featured are numerous interactive examinations of his iconic art and studies in flight, music, military engineering, aquatics, anatomy, time and more.
Just a small sample of the Da Vinci – The Genius art pieces to see include:
· An extraordinary, brand new da Vinci discovery: the mold and original bronze cast of the only known Leonardo da Vinci sculpture surviving today, “Horse and Rider.” Created more than 500 years ago from a block of solid beeswax, “Horse and Rider” was authenticated by the foremost authority on the life and works of da Vinci, Dr. Carlo Pedretti.
· The illustrious Secrets of Mona Lisa exhibit, featuring the findings of French scientific engineer and examiner of fine art, Pascal Cotte. Granted unprecedented access, Cotte took “Mona Lisa” out of its frame at The Louvre to conduct an in-depth analysis of history’s most elusive work of art. Cotte’s study revealed dozens of secrets, and is showcased by 40 super-magnified, high-resolution sectional images exploring every aspect of the work.
· More than 75 life-size machine inventions crafted by Italian Artisans, many using techniques and materials from the Renaissance period. Scouring over 6,000 pages from da Vinci’s personal codices (notebooks), the Artisans deciphered hidden clues, intentional mistakes and mirror-image writing that da Vinci employed to keep his works top secret.
· An elaborate gift shop full of unique da Vinci souvenirs and memorabilia, such as mini replicas of his inventions, art kits and logoed merchandise. Serious art collectors can also purchase a limited edition of “Horse and Rider” in one of four different finishes: Leonardo Classic, Classic Bronze, Verde and Silver. A $1 million dollar donation from the sales of “Horse and Rider” will go to The Salvation Army Rehabilitation Program of Southern Nevada.
· Interactive touch-screen tablets which offer in-depth explanations about da Vinci’s theories and ideas while connecting them to modern inventions.
· Explorations of da Vinci’s most famous artwork, including three dimensional renderings and analyses of “The Last Supper,” the “Vitruvian Man and the “Sforza Horse.” Guests can gain new perspectives on incredible reproductions of “Virgin of the Rocks,” “The Annunciation,” the controversial new Leonardo discovery “Bella Principessa,” da Vinci’s anatomical sketches, and preparatory drawings of the “Anghiari Battle.”
Da Vinci – The Genius is open daily to the public between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. You can purchase tickets at the Imagine Exhibitions Gallery box office or at www.venetian.com
