Las Vegas Travel News 5/28/2010

Time is running out! Only a few more days to sign up for our giveaway for 2 free nights at Paris Las Vegas. We’re accepting entries only until May 31.

And now for the weekly Las Vegas travel news and highlights for the coming Memorial Day holiday weekend:

• The Las Vegas International Film Festival is being held June 4 through June 6. Will you be there?

• Howdy Neighbor! Total Wine and the Coming War – I heard some people talking in passing last week about the new wine store in town, and it sounds like they aren’t the only ones talking. Located in Boca Park in Summerlin, Total Wine and More is 27,000 sprawling square feet and stocks everything for $1.97 bottles to exclusive, direct-from-the-winery varieties. This may be a place worth checking out if you’re in town any time soon.

• The 41st World Series of Poker kicks off today at Rio. Despite the economy (or maybe because of it), organizers are expecting even more players to participate this year than last.

• Expect crowds in town this weekend. If this is your first Memorial Day in Las Vegas, you can count on pool parties, celebrity-packed nightclubs and long lines at restaurants. Make your reservations while you still have time! Here are details on what you’ll find at Vegas’ 3-day party.
