Cinco de Mayo falls on a Saturday this year, which means a weekend of partying! There are two next Mexican places that are celebrating their grand opening with big festive parties. One of the places is Carlos ‘n Charlies and the other is Señor Frogs.

The grand opening fiesta at Señor Frogs will be at their fourth location, which is at Treasure Island. They are serious about Cinco de Mayo, as they will attempt to break the world record for the largest tequila toast at 9 p.m. Show your support and come raise your glass, and who knows, maybe you’ll help make history. During the daytime, guests can enjoy bikini contests, conga lines and karaoke at Señor Frogs. Oh, and of course drinking and eating delicious Mexican fare.

If Mexican fare isn’t what you’re looking for, but drinks to cool off are, then look no further than Mandalay Bay’s Minus5 Ice Bar. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., guests who wear their Minus5 t-shirts will receive $5 off any entry package. Drinks include concoctions like the Blue Ice Margaritas, made with Espolon, Tequila and Hpnotic Liqueur for $8. There will also be tequila shots for $5 and $10.

Margaritas, sombreros, tacos and tequila! These are the essentials for any Cinco de Mayo, so make sure you get your fill this weekend! The only problem you should have this weekend is deciding on the venues, especially with so many options! Cheers!

Horse racing is one of those sporting events that often gets overlooked in Las Vegas. With so many other sporting events going on throughout the year, it’s understandable. This weekend though, horse racing will be front and center, with the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby from Churchill Downs happens. This will be a prime attraction for many casinos this Saturday afternoon.

Dan Shapiro, who oversees racing for Lucky’s Race and Sports Books commented on Derby week, saying “Derby week is always going to be a big one here,” adding on “The handle is great. Saturday will be our biggest (racing) day of the year, but it carries over all week.”

Shapiro also reported that action during Derby week has gone up in the past few years. One of the many reasons as to why the Derby has gained popularity is that there is an increase in the interest of the horses. It probably does not hurt that this is a different kind of attraction.

Lucky’s Race runs books at The D Las Vegas, the Riviera, the Plaza and Terrible’s. They are one of the first shops in Las Vegas to put out future odds on the Kentucky Derby as well. Even though the Derby is this weekend, numbers were posted on the odds of prospective horses 6 months ago.

Place your bets this weekend at the Kentucky Derby!

The Las Vegas Mob Experience had it’s grand opening a little over a year ago on March 29, 2011. Within this attraction, visitors could see all kinds of neat things all tied to the Mob, including guns, knives, brass knuckles, and other various weaponry.

It has been quite a few decades since these weapons were used, but even so, they are still very much desired, but not for the same reasons anymore. As it turns out, there are people fighting for ownership of these weapons now.

The Mob Attraction Las Vegas, which is located at the Tropicana houses 1,500 artifacts. Weapons are not the only thing that people have been fighting over ownership for. For the past few months, fights for ownership of some of the Attraction’s artifacts have made their way through the court system.

The legal battle over the artifacts revolves around who has the right to display them for a profit in a fixed or travelling exhibit. It’s been an intense courtroom saga that involves bankruptcy and convoluted legal manoeuvres. Almost like something out of a mob themed movie. The courtroom saga is actually playing out in an open court with public charges.

On one side of the dispute, there’s Jay Bloom, the lead creator of the $25 million exhibit called the Las Vegas Mob Experience. On the other side, there’s investor John Vipulis, who is the owner of the Mob Attraction Las Vegas that operates in the old Mob Experience space.
