The opening of Tom Tom, named after Toms Sandoval and Schwartz, was a huge part of Vanderpump Rules season seven. Then they opened Schwartz & Sandy's without LVP, a source of tension in later VPR seasons.

I think I'm worth more than 2,000 miles an hour. Her most recent travel headache came courtesy of a U.S.-based airline during a trip home from Cap Juluca in Anguilla. Vanderpump found herself stuck for 12 hours with little explanation. And though the airline eventually offered 25,000 miles as compensation, she was unimpressed.

This year is shaping up to be a big one for domestic travel, especially as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in July. With that historic milestone on the horizon, it's a fitting moment to take stock of where travelers are most eager to go. Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Destinations do just that, spotlighting the top U.S. destinations based on millions of reviews and ratings submitted over the past year.

"One time is enough." That's what I'd heard countless times about visiting Las Vegas before making the trip myself. I'd always wanted to go, if only to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience. Turns out, one time wasn't enough. I've been five times now, and I have no doubt there will be a sixth. The nightlife and gambling aren't what keep me coming back, though. These days, I skip the casinos and explore nature instead - and one of my favorite places is about 45 minutes outside the city: Valley of Fire State Park. There was no turning back once I found a side of Vegas I didn't know I was missing

I'd say in terms of domestic expansion, that is something we're continuing to look at," Silver said at a news conference before the NBA Cup championship game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. "It's not a secret we're looking at this market in Las Vegas. We are looking at Seattle. We've looked at other markets, as well. I'd say I want to be sensitive there about this notion that we're somehow teasing these markets, because I know we've been talking about it for a while.

Opening February 2026 with a Grand Opening celebration scheduled for President's Day weekend, the Laugh Factory's arrival at Horseshoe Las Vegas marks a significant milestone in the venue's evolution. David Fuhrer, President of Laugh Factory, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: "Laugh Factory is built for the biggest stages, from Hollywood to Chicago and now onto the Las Vegas Strip - it doesn't get any bigger than that.

It feels like I've been transported into a scene straight out of a science fiction movie. I'm walking around on a giant centrifuge in space, which I can see the outlines of at the edge of my vision. Beyond it, I see the planet we're orbiting. The pathways I walk on stretch endlessly above and below me, giving me the feeling I'm in an absolutely massive structure.

"I feel great about (the progress)," Badain said. "Obviously, we know the workforce. We know the construction firm, and the (supervisor) is the same super that delivered on Allegiant. When he tells me things are good, I don't worry."

After years of living in Las Vegas, I've stayed at most resorts on the Strip, and I have favorites. The best resorts on the Las Vegas Strip include The Cosmopolitan and Fontainebleau. I also really love the peaceful vibes at Vdara and the luxe energy of the Wynn.

Fortunately for us, there's a new theme park on the horizon that intends to scratch that existential itch: RetroEscapes, the "world's first nostalgia theme park."
