Hey there world travelers. Hey there. I'm Tanya and I'm Dave and we are Turn It
Up World. Welcome to . . . Las Vegas!
That's right, so we are continuing with our exploration of Las Vegas and today
we're actually going to share with you some of the awesome new things that are
coming to Las Vegas in 2020 so we're gonna kick this right off and you might
see this giant Fender guitar behind me we're at the Hard Rock Hotel well it's
not gonna be the Hard Rock Hotel for long it's actually gonna be changing
over to Virgin Hotels, yeah that's right Richard Branson's coming to Vegas with a
new hotel and we're pretty excited about it. We are very excited about that now
you may not know you may know if you've been following us we're actually going
on a Virgin Voyages cruise, oh my gosh, the Scarlet Lady so it'd be fitting for us
to talk a little about the new Virgin Hotel that's coming to Las Vegas
another disrupter apparently, not far off the Strip but it is a few blocks off, yes
and I do believe it's gonna be finished, or should be, sometime at the end of this
year, so sometime in December, I think that's right, I think they're trying to push to beat that 2021
mark where I think there's a lot of hotels that are coming up but they have to wait
until 2021. He's obviously trying to get ahead of the curve as per usual.
Las Vegas is one of the most popular convention cities in the world. They
already have a huge Las Vegas Convention Center but they're in the middle of a
massive expansion of that Center. They're actually adding 1.4 million square feet
it's a billion dollar renovation project you can actually see behind me there's a
massive project underway so you might hear some of the machinery going on but
part of that with this huge area, I think it's about a 200 acre area here and they
need some transportation system so they brought in Elon Musk and his Boring
Company to actually bore underground to create these tunnels with these
autonomous cars that drive through these tunnels to take you from point to point
so really cool it actually takes you very close to the
Strip now but this is very exciting I'm really looking forward to it. So this
awesome monorail system here in Las Vegas is a great way to get around from
point A to point B especially since Las Vegas is known to have some crazy
traffic. I know, you said that right and I love monorails, reminds me of Disney World.
Yes, you're right, but instead of going through like the enchanted hotels you're
going right around the smoke-filled Sin City hotels. I think we should give this a
shot. You wanna try this? Yes, you guys ready? You ready? Let's go!
Here it comes. Here it comes, let's go.
Now the Circa Las Vegas Hotel and Casino is going to be the new casino hotel coming
up in the downtown area, now it's also the first hotel and casino in the downtown
area of over 40 years, now it's going to be an amazing glass rapped structure and
it's going to be the tallest like tower north of the Strip, what I'm super
excited about too is they're going to have probably one of the largest pools
in Vegas, as a matter of fact it's supposed to hold about 4,000 people and
it's a rooftop pool with a ginormous TV that's gonna have sports in it, now
what's cool is there's gonna be a lucky number 777, 777 rooms in this 44 story
hotel, now it's set to open sometime I believe in December and that's what
they're shooting for right now so we'll see December
could be a jolly holly Christmas for a lot of folks looking for that awesome
new downtown Hotel and Casino Circa. The NFL is coming to Vegas in 2020 the
Raiders are coming to town and this is really exciting first they were in
Oakland then Los Angeles back to Oakland and
they have finally found a home here in Vegas and they're building a really awesome
stadium for them, yes there's a very cool stadium coming up, actually it's Allegiant
Stadium, now what's really cool about that it's a domed stadium, now that makes
a hell of a lot of sense here in Las Vegas because it can get really hot I'm
talking so hot you can boil an egg on the concrete, and it's also a really cool
stadium too with the black color really fits that Raider image, very cool, yes now
when is it set to kick-off? This fall, oh so right during football season, yes, are you ready for some football!
Okay so something really cool coming to Vegas in 2020 is Area 15 now think of
this the mysterious Area 51 hmm very mysterious, well this is kind of mysterious
Area 15 and why do I see mysterious because no one knows what the heck is
going on over there no but it's gonna be a really cool spot almost like a
warehouse style full of shops, exactly full of great restaurants Todd English is
coming in there and some great stuff, apparently there's gonna be secret passageways
they think, virtual reality, so I know it's gonna be cool, we're in Vegas they're
putting a lot of money into this thing, it's gonna be cool, it's gonna be very cool
now they're set to start a opening of in February now but the rest of the tenants
I think they're gonna come in May, yeah May, May probably when it will really kick off, but you
can get a sneak peek at some things in February. And what's going on in February?
There's some art show like an open art gallery so should be cool, that's
what I'm talking about.
So let's talk about entertainment
well Vegas is obviously known to have some incredible entertainment now
there's gonna be some fun new lineups coming here in 2020 let's start with one
of my favorites the Cirque du Soleil shows now I've seen just about every
Cirque de Soleil except this one coming up called Run now that is going to be at
the Luxor Hotel I'm excited to see that one, it's supposed to be more staged more action
more like I guess you would say more theater jam-packed action so I'm really
excited for that now there is going to be some new incredible residences coming
here this year in 2020 I think a lot of people know some of these folks let's
see there's Keith Urban that's gonna be coming into town you got Earth Wind &
Fire, Gwen Stefani, oh my goodness gracious, Foreigner, Kelly Clarkson I mean
that's a known name and of course the unfortunate this year is going to be the
last of the Donny and Marie show I think they're about calling it quits and ready
to just kind of enjoy the rest of their lives but I do believe what's stepping
into their place is the RuPaul Drag Race Live so be on the lookout 2020 is
definitely gonna bring some crazy awesome entertainment here for Vegas
2020 coming at you. There's some great new restaurants coming to Vegas in 2020
Elio's is coming to the Wynn it's a Mexican restaurant which we're really excited to
try out and at MGM you have The Mayfair Supper Club which is
kind of a retro Vegas dining and show experience very very cool it overlooks
the Bellagio fountains, you also have Din Tai Fung which is a
famous Taiwanese eatery with great soup dumplings opening up at the Aria then
there's this great steak house Bugsy & Meyer's at the Flamingo some great places
to check out in 2020
All right now last but certainly not least something new in 2020 that you
should definitely check out is head downtown towards Fremont Street it's an
incredible place with a lot of fun shops and restaurants, and what's new for 2020
is that they've actually upgraded the Viva Vision Canopy it's now seven times
brighter four times greater resolution so it's very very cool definitely should check
that out. So that about does it for us I mean we have a lot of fun today, oh it was a
great time, yeah and we hope you guys enjoyed coming along with us as we shared
