Do Summer as a Vegas Local

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

We’re here to bring you the inside scoop on how the natives survive the summer months in Vegas. Our best piece of advice: do summer like the locals do. And, here’s how.

Worship the sun.

Chances are you’re going to find yoursepoolchairsbloglf at a pool while in Vegas (trust us, you’ll want to cool off). Whether you like things on a grand scale, (100,000 square feet grand enough for you?) or something a little more intimate, our very own Villaggio Del Sole and DayDream Pool Club are perfect for any pool patron. At either pool, grab a cabana, maybe a bottle or two (they start at only $65!) and enjoy the day lounging on a cushy chaise lounge chair with drink-in-hand. You can find more of our tips just for the pool, here.

Get happy during Happy Hour.

There’s no reason for you not be VeloceDrinkshappy while you’re at M since we offer Happy Hour 24/7. We know it seems too good to be true but if you go to any of our inside bars cocktails are just $5 and bottled beers $3. To sweeten the deal, our restaurants offer their own happy hour deals on food. A whole sushi platter for just $10 at our rooftop restaurant Veloce, half priced appetizers from Anthony’s Steakhouse, or even a hot dog and beer special from 32 Degree Draft Bar.

Play your cards like a true shark.TableGames1blog

There’s nothing wrong with playing the tables in the casino. But, each weekend our pool deck is populated with a great crowd. A crowd that includes a bevy of beautiful poolside black jack dealers ready to deal your next hand. So go out, get some fresh air and place your bets under the sun while taking in the great atmosphere of bikini-clad pool dwellers.

Leave time for relaxation.

Any well-versed Vegas traveler knows to leave roSpaTherapyPoolsblogom for a little R&R. What the locals know is to spend their R&R time at Spa Mio. Take advantage of their world-class massages, facials and other soothing treatments and also the amazing specials they offer (to everyone not just locals).

Join the Club.

Ever wonder how locals get comps imaginerewardsblog(the Vegas term for “free”) to our award-winning Studio B Buffet? We’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s because they’re a member of our iMagine Rewards Club! Join our rewards club so you too can earn great comps, prizes and even cash back.

 
 

How to Spend your July Fourth at M

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

MResort-Fireworks

Get ready for an explosive weekend at our resort! We know the M is your go-to place when you want to get the party started (Happy Hour 24/7 anyone?) and we won’t let you down this weekend. Think red, white, blue and an all-American day at our backyard pool!

Help us celebrate America’s birthday by spending the day (or whole weekend) at our pool. From Friday, July 1 – Monday, July 4 all our pools will offer complimentary entry to everyone (yes, everyone!) Join the festivities at our main pool, which boasts over 10,000 square feet of water ready for you to dive into. For a more intimate (and still free) Fourth of July experience come to our adult pool, DayDream Pool Club Saturday-Monday.

It looks like it’s going to be a hot one this weekend so take advantage of our great drink deals on our pool deck. You can order a bottle of vodka for just $65! We know you like to go first-class all the way so you’ll probably want to enjoy your bottle in style on one of our daybeds or inside a VIP cabana (complete with your own private Jacuzzi pool.) For your daybed or cabana reservation needs call 702.797.1808 or email cabanarequest@theMresort.com.

If you’re more of a card shark our Poker Room is having special promotions all day long. There are four ways for you to win on the Fourth! Get a Straight Flush (that includes a 4) and win $1,444, Four 4’s will get you $444 with a room wide Flop-It Bonus, a Flush with all 4’s is worth $144 and the games will receive $44 Splash Pots every 44 minutes!

Spending all the time by the pool or at the poker tables will give anyone an appetite. But, if you stick around at M you’re in luck. Studio B Buffet will offer its signature Seafood Brunch/Dinner throughout the whole weekend. You know what that means, all the shrimp, oysters and crab legs you can stomach for four days straight (in honor of July Fourth of course.)

There’s more to this holiday weekend than just partying. Our four-star rated Spa Mio is offering those with a valid military ID, two 50-minute services for the price of one! Sounds to us like the perfect way to wind down from a holiday weekend.

And in case you were curious, this year is America’s 235th birthday.

 
 

The (Un)Official Start of Summer

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

DayDream DaybedMemorial Day Weekend marks the (un)official start of the summer season here at our resort and all over Las Vegas. The weather has already started to heat up our pool deck to just the right temperature for a long weekend of partying. So we’re excited to share what we have to offer this holiday weekend at M.

We’ll be spending Memorial Day Weekend the only acceptable way – poolside, of course! This Friday-Monday our pools will offer complimentary admission to everyone (yes, really everyone) to get the celebration started off right. Complimentary admission extends to our adult pool DayDream Saturday-Monday as well. Both pools will have DJ entertainment to keep the festivities going all weekend long during the daytime and while you’re lounging poolside, we recommend you try a pitcher of our Shinsei Sangria made with Riesling, Vodka, Plum Sake and Fresh Fruit.

If you want to continue your poolside partying (which we’re sure you do), join us Saturday night from 8-11pm by our pool for a free concert. If you get there early (from 7-8pm) your first beer is on us! We’re also giving you a chance to fulfill your rock star dreams and perform with a live rock band on our stage thanks to Rockstar Karaoke. If the party gets too hot, you can also dive into our pool at night (for free) to cool off.

We appreciate all our military personnel here at M and so  just show us your (valid) Military ID and you’ll be drinking 2-for-1 drinks all weekend at our pool, including DayDream.

If you haven’t seen our pool deck yet it’s expansive (to say the very least) and we have plenty of room to accommodate each and every one of you. If you’d like to do it in style, cabanas and daybeds are also available. Happy Memorial Day weekend and we hope to see you in our backyard.

Get Fit at M

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011
Casino Staircase

The Main Lobby stairs are just waiting for you to climb.

So you indulged at our buffet and maybe had a cupcake (or two) from our bakery and washed it all down with one of our 96 beers on tap.  There’s nothing wrong with this (we’re all about indulging), but even during your getaway in Vegas you’ll want to stay in shape with places like DayDream Pool Club to hang out at.  We know it’s hard to make it to the gym, especially when you’re traveling, so we’re here to offer you a few travel-friendly fitness tips that you can practice here at M or wherever you might be traveling.

Take the stairs. We know elevators are much more convenient, but think of the burn you’ll feel after walking from our casino level to our pool and spa level, or even all the way down to our wine cellar, Hostile Grape. Your lungs will thank you and you’ll thank yourself when you look at your killer legs.

Bring your running shoes. Why not add a little motion in your day? Lace up your sneakers and take a tour inside and outside our resort. We’re situated on more than 90 acres and with an expansive 100,000 square foot pool deck, you’ll have lots of time to get your fresh air fix, plus we have lots of great art to gaze at while walking around  indoors.

Fitness Center

The Fitness Center inside Spa Mio at the M.

Stay hydrated. It’s a desert out there (no really, it is). Be sure to drink lots of water, it will help keep your body going and increase your metabolism so you burn more calories than normal, and it also helps maintain your muscle tone.

Bring your yoga mat. Starting or ending your day with yoga does the body good. And, rolling up your yoga mat and packing it for your trip takes a minimal amount of time and space. You can even practice your yoga moves in the privacy of your own hotel room.

If you’re more of a gym person, we also have a world-class fitness center available for your use; did we mention it has a pool view?

We’re all about the cocktails here in Vegas and pool season is officially upon us here at M. Chances are you’re going to get thirsty soaking up the sun at our pool. But trust us, it’s a good thing! We have a lot of drinks to keep you hydrated because our mixologists are shaking up many more exotic things than your typical Screwdriver (but you can still order those too).

Three tropical drink selections

Tropical drink selections that taste as good as they look.

A few of our favorites:

Coco Cabana. This coconut concoction features Bacardi and Cruzan Coconut Rums, Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice and a dash of Grenadine.

 Mango Passion. For those who like a little bubbly in the mix this brew has Stoli Citros Vodka, Mango Puree, Fresh Lime Juice and Champagne to top it off.

 Tropical Dream. This blend of booze will have you feeling like you’re on a private island featuring Stoli Vanil Vodka, Cruzan Mango and Banana Rum, Malibu Rum, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice and Grenadine.

Year after year our most popular beverages are our Mojitos. They come in pretty much every flavor you could imagine including Mint, Vanilla Blueberry, Banana Strawberry, Watermelon Guava, Mango Blackberry and our personal favorite Coconut Peach (this blog is cuckoo for coconut).

Our peaceful pool oasis Villaggio del Sole has been open for a week, so what are you waiting for?

Tips To Party Poolside in Vegas

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

March is a jam-packed month. In just 31 days we’re celebrating Spring Break, March Madness, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s, not to mention it’s Daylight Saving Time and we’ll be ushering in the first day of Spring. Although these events are important, the 75 degree weather we’ve been enjoying in Vegas has us thinking of just one thing…the start of Vegas pool season! We can almost smell the suntan lotion and chlorine….CanopyDaybeds

Here at the M, our pool season started yesterday. The new furniture is out, our bar is stocked and our team members are trained. We decided that with the warm weather we’d open our smaller pool, DayDream, for those looking to get a jump start on their tan. Our official pool season begins April 1 when we open our main pool deck and April 16 when we turn DayDream into our adults-only pool, 21+ but not European.

To get you ready for the Vegas pool season, we thought we’d provide you with a few pointers on how to party poolside in Vegas. We’d love to hear your tips and pointers too!

  • Go local. If you’re visiting Vegas and want a different experience apart from the crowds go local. There are plenty of options (like the M, wink, wink) that are just a few miles Daydreamclosefrom the Strip that provide beautiful pools, amenities and service – often at a much better price.
  • Reserve a cabana. If you are planning to make a day of it, we suggest paying the extra money for a cabana. These covered areas are great retreats from the sun and usually come equipped with plush sofas, flat-screen TVs, sound systems, refrigerators, misters and sometimes even your own personal attendant. Here at the M, you can even receive an in-cabana massage from our four-star spa if you’re willing to spend a little extra money.
  • Use sunscreen. If you’re visiting our wonderful sun-filled city for the first time, the Vegas sun is relentless. Plan accordingly and bring sunscreen. You don’t want to be sitting in your hotel room with a bottle of aloe while your friends are getting ready to head out for a night on the town.
  • Bring friends. Everything is better if you have a buddy…or two. The cabanas are usually large enough to fit 8-10 people, so split the costs and have a great afternoon with your friends.
  • Celebrate responsibly. Remember, drinking in the sun will get you inebriated faster than normal. Be respectful of others and responsible when it comes to consuming alcoholic beverages and always off-set with water.
  • Choose wisely. There are plenty of options for pools in Vegas – local, Strip, club, European, family. If you want to make sure you have a good time, do your research. Check the pool websites, chat forums and call the venues to make sure you know about the costs and the atmosphere upfront. The last thing you want is to show up ready for a family day at the pool only to realize the pool is European.

Current pool hours (until our grand opening) here at the M are 10-6 pm daily (operation out of DayDream). Call 702-797-1800 for more pool information.

Hours of Operation:
Villaggio del Sole
April 1 Grand Opening
Daily 9 am – 8 pm

Thursday, Saturday & Sunday 11 am – 7 pm

Rendezvous – THE Saturday Night Pool Party for Local Ladies

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Rendezvousblog2As you may know, when the sun goes down in Vegas during pool season, the temperature generally stays plenty warm and sometimes downright hot. But let us tell you – that’s a good thing. Why? Well we figure pool parties shouldn’t just be a daytime phenomenon as they generally are here our beloved city of sin. Every Saturday, beginning May 15, when the sun sets on those “other” pool clubs, DayDream Pool Club here at M Resort will open its doors welcoming local ladies to Rendezvous – the only Saturday night pool party in the city – just for them.

It all kicks off this Saturday (May 15!) where Rendezvous will treat local ladies to complimentary champagne and strawberries and buy one, get one bottle specials every Saturday from 9 p.m. to close. Ladies can enter to win special prizes throughout the evening from local and international clothing boutique stores. Did we say complimentary champagne and strawberries for local ladies? Ummm, yes. And by the way, that’s at every Rendezvous Saturday! Here are the particulars for you:Rendezvousblog1

DayDream Pool Club

At more than 12,000 square feet, DayDream Pool Club is an adult’s playground with cabanas, daybeds, lounging areas, ice-railed bar and infinity-edge pool. Future plans include rolling out additional daily themes and specials for the remainder of the pool season. DayDream Pool Club is also planning specials for Memorial Day Weekend and Fourth of July.
