Ghostbar At The Palms
Palms ghostbar402High above the glittering expanse of Las Vegas , the 8,000 square foot ghostbar is a sultry and sophisticated indoor-outdoor lounge and sky deck on the 55th floor of the Palms Casino Resort.  Indoors amid the seductive shadows, the sleek, chic ghostbar offers ultra-lounging luxury among an ethereal color scheme of
silver, white, greens and grays.

Fourteen foot floor-to-ceiling windows offer a dramatic view of the night sky and city below; a 30-foot ghost-shaped soffit in the ceiling changes colors as a deejay spins an eclectic music mix. Patrons can lounge on the custom, ultra-contemporary furniture, seek privacy in the intimate seating arrangements or VIP lounge, or mingle at the terrazzo bar. Behind the bar, shelves of premium spirits glow with the incandescence cast by backlit panels of acrylic-encased fabric. 

The dramatic outdoor deck provides almost a 360-degree view of the Vegas skyline, with a glass inset in the floor offering a jaw-dropping view straight down. Posh seating areas are enhanced with a fiber-optically lit drink rail running most of the circumference of the deck. Specialty cocktails include champagne concoctions and the signature "ghostini” as well as an extensive champagne selection and
limited, hand-picked wine list, with high-end wines by the glass. 

Ghostbar is open seven nights a week at 8 p.m. and open until late.  For additional information call 702.938.BOOO (2666).


“Out Of This World” Weightless Flights By
Zero Gravity Corporation Lift Off From Las Vegas, July 18

ZERO-G to Blast Off from McCarran International Airport
ZeroG_12_30_Vegas_ZG211_20302Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G®), the first and only FAA-approved provider of commercial weightless flights, will host its exclusive ZERO-G Weightless Experience once again in Las Vegas, Nevada on
Saturday, July 18. Due to increased popularity, ZERO-G is bringing the one-of-a-kind adventure back to Southern Nevada. The experience offered by ZERO-G is the only commercial opportunity on Earth for individuals to experience true "weightlessness" without going to space.  This is the identical weightless flight experience used by NASA to train its astronauts and used by Ron Howard and Tom Hanks to film Apollo-13. G-FORCE ONE, ZERO-G’s specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, will depart from The Signature Terminal at McCarran International Airport.  To book a seat with ZERO-G, please visit www.gozerog.com.
Each ZERO-G mission is designed for maximum fun. The aircraft’s interior is a zero gravity playroom, complete with padded floors and walls and video cameras to record the unforgettable moments. When experiencing zero gravity, guests can fly the length of an airplane cabin like superman, flip like an Olympic gymnast, pour water in the air and watch the droplets hover before their eyes, release a handful of M&M’s and chase them down like a game of human Pac-Man, and enjoy 10 -times more hang-time than the world’s best basketball player. It’s not simulated; ZERO-G replicates the same levels of weightlessness enjoyed on Mars (1/3-gravity), the moon (1/6-gravity), and zero gravity. It's an experience unlike any other!
 
ZERO-G guests will receive:
 
··         Pre-flight training to maximize their ZERO-G Experience
··         Private transportation to/from McCarran International Airport
··         ZERO-G flight suit and patch
··         Personal photography by a world-class photographer
··         Post-flight re-gravitation party
··         Weightless flight award certificate
··         Branded ZERO-G gifts
··         The chance to experience the rare and exalted state of weightlessness

Weightless flight is a rare, unique opportunity to experience the total absence of gravity. Buzz Aldrin, Martha Stewart, Joey Fatone, Tony Hawk, Princess Beatrice of York, Professor Stephen Hawking, Billy Bush, Burt Rutan, Amy Grant, Miles O’Brien, and cast members of “The Apprentice,” and “The Biggest Loser” are just a few notable passengers who’ve flown with ZERO-G and proclaimed it to be one of the most thrilling experiences of their lives.

Flights last approximately two hours and deliver 15 separate weightless experiences, each lasting about 30 seconds. This is twice the amount of weightless time achieved in a typical sub-orbital flight into space. The ZERO-G Experience is offered at a price of $4,950 per seat plus tax. For more information, or to see pictures and video of the experience, visit www.gozerog.com.

Dive With Sharks At Mandalay Bay
Offers Certified Divers Experience Of Lifetime

Dive with Sharks 1Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay plunges to new depths with its new Dive with Sharks program for hotel guests of Mandalay Bay and THEhotel. Thrill-seekers will experience a rush of adrenaline while diving side-by-side with dive guides and more than 30 sharks, including sandtiger, white tip and sandbar sharks, in a 1.3-million-gallon exhibit.

Dive with Sharks provides certified divers 18 years of age and older a rare chance to connect with these powerful creatures during an up-close educational program offering a deeper understanding of marine life.  Throughout the four-hour experience, participants learn about shark health and behavior as well as Shark Reef Aquarium research projects that aid in the preservation of endangered
species. To make the experience more intimate, the program is limited to two participants and one dive per day. Every dive is different as the sharks’ needs change daily.

The adventure begins at 3 p.m. when the program facilitator greets participants. During a guided tour of Shark Reef, the facilitator shares intriguing facts about the predator-based aquarium’s inhabitants. Next, participants receive dive and equipment orientation before changing into wetsuits and beginning their submerged journey.

General Curator Jack Jewell said, “The dive sessions we have created are very unique.  During dives in the ocean, it is uncertain whether one or more sharks will swim close or appear at all. The Dive with Sharks program guarantees the opportunity to observe many sharks as well as a variety of other creatures including green sea turtles, sawfish and mesmerizing schools of fish.”

In developing this program, Mandalay Bay’s top priority was the safety and health of the animals and participants. A team of dedicated dive guides teach participants various safety procedures before the dive and provide a 2-to-1 guest-to-dive instructor ratio, ensuring personalized attention and safety throughout the dive. 
 
Adam Schaffer, a Dive with Sharks participant, said, “Shark Reef Aquarium’s Dive with Sharks is truly a world-class experience. I felt like I was diving in five different oceans, and there were times I actually forgot I was in an aquarium.”

Hotel guests of Mandalay Bay or THEhotel can book the exclusive tour for $650 for a single diver or $1,000 for two divers booked together. The Dive with Sharks program includes a guided tour of Shark Reef Aquarium, supervised 45-minute dive and a post-dive snack.  Shark Reef Aquarium provides all equipment – a wetsuit, protective stainless steel chain maille as well as a mask, fins, tank, buoyancy-control device, regulator, weights and booties.

Additionally, guests receive a Dive with Sharks Certificate of Completion and a video of their dive to commemorate their experience. Participants also are able to bring up to four observers to view the dive from outside the exhibit.  Observers enjoy complimentary admission to Shark Reef Aquarium and are welcome to join the introductory exhibit and behind-the-scenes tours.

All dive participants must present a valid certification card from a recognized dive instruction agency such as PADI or NAUI. Dive with Sharks is available four days a week – Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Dive-certified guests of Mandalay Bay interested in the program may call (702) 632-4555 for advance reservations.  Shark Reef Aquarium has been accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums since 2003.
