Luckily there are all kinds of venues and
themes to choose from. You can check the budget section for
more information. Hotels on the Strip are always where the
most excitement, Flamingo, Mirage, Bellagio, Harrah’s,
Venetian, and Wynn are right in the middle of everything.
Luxor and Mandalay Bay are also on the Strip, but south of
Tropicana. Just off the Strip are the Palms and Rio, both
very popular choices. Downtown has a vintage Vegas feel and
many of the hotels have seen vast improvement since the
recent improvements and Golden Nugget particularly is very
nice. |

There is more to Vegas than the Strip and Downtown though, and some
really nice casinos on the outskirts of town include the various
Station Casinos, Sam’s Town, Texas, and Fiesta. These places will
offer everything casinos on the Strip offer, but are generally less
active and cost less money. For the party, try out different
themes. Some ideas include a Tropical Paradise theme, Sandy Beach,
Globe Trotting, Yachting, a Dude Ranch, New Orleans, and Hollywood
theme. Basically anything the retiree plans doing during their
retirement can be an excellent theme.
A retirement party is also a great time for gifts. Gag gifts are
often popular, like an old typewriter or cane with a rear view
mirror and horn.
Food for a
Retirement Party
Great food is a good idea at any party. If you
have a themed party inside your hotel or casino, you may want to
consider catering and often the hotel will provide this. Sme popular
caterers in Vegas include Las Vegas Catering, Natalie Littlefield’s
Catering, Matteo’s Gourmet Food Service, and A Catered Affair. If a
restaurant is more your style, here are some good choices:
• Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville at the
Flamingo
• Kahunaville in Treasure Island
• Hard Rock Café at the Hard Rock
• NASCAR Café for race fans, located in the Sahara
• Rainforest Café inside MGM Grand
• House of Blues at Mandalay Bay
• Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar & Grill in Harrah’s
• Harley Davidson Café on Harmon and Las Vegas Blvd
• B.B. King’s Blues Club or STACK at the Mirage
• SPAGO, Planet Hollywood, Joe’s Seafood, or BOA in Caesars
And there are many more depending on what type of
food you are looking for and the atmosphere. |
