Stars of the Industry Awards Las Vegas Club de Soleil

Meet our Stars of the Industry

Uncategorized October 24, 2019November 3, 2022

It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge two of our own for earning top honors at the 2019 Stars of the Industry Awards Gala Oct. 17 in Las Vegas. Chris Breed, Vice President of Operations for Soleil Management, won the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year award. Dave Campbell, Tahiti Village Recreation Services Manager, took home the award for Management Professional of the Year.

Our Stars of the Industry Awards winners Chris Breed and Dave Campbell.

The event, sponsored by the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association and held annually in Las Vegas, celebrates exceptional professionalism and outstanding service of top individuals in the hospitality industry.

Chris joined the company in 2017 and served as Tahiti Village general manager until her promotion to Soleil Management VP of Operations in 2018. She is an active participant in our company’s community volunteer efforts and was appointed Vice Chairman of the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association in 2019.

“I was completely surprised to be chosen to receive this award,” Chris said. “The work that the NHLA takes on for the state is so beneficial. Assisting our emerging leaders through workshops, mentoring and networking is our responsibility, and something that I am personally passionate about and will continue doing as long as they will have me.”

Dave has overseen Tahiti Village’s recreation department since joining the company in 2016. He is responsible for putting in place many of the poolside activities and events our guests presently enjoy. Like Chris, Dave is also an enthusiastic participant in our company’s charitable events, particularly as they relate to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada.

“Being nominated for this award was an honor itself, but to be selected is something I never would have thought possible as it relates to my career,” Dave said. “The NHLA is a great organization that provides individuals opportunities beyond their roles at work, and that is something I am grateful for. I have been working with young adults for over a decade, and I have learned two very important things:

Each day is something different that continues to shape the way I speak with individuals about work and their personal life.

If you have young adults on the team who are quick to voice their thoughts or introduce change, invest in them however you can. They are the ones saying, `Hey, I think this can be done better’ or `I don’t like the way this is going.’ These are the individuals who are taking the risk to stand out among their peers in a group that is quick to judge.

“I am humbled by this and will continue to pay it forward.”

In addition to Chris and Dave, we would also like to recognize our Stars of the Industry Awards nominees for their exceptional professionalism and outstanding service. They are:

Monique Makhlouf
Director of Learning and Development, Soleil Management
Category: Learning & Development Professional of the Year

Julian Ross
Director of Owner Services & Revenue Management, Soleil Management
Category: Revenue Management Professional of the Year

Thomas Gardipee
Front Desk Agent, Tahiti Resort Las Vegas
Category: Guest Services Professional of the Year

Michele Kline
Area General Manager, Tahiti Resort Las Vegas and Club de Soleil
Category: Woman in Lodging of the Year

Nominees were selected based on their length of service, their outstanding service skills as well their community involvement. A winner was chosen in each of 20 categories. We congratulate all our winners and nominees – they are truly Stars of the Industry!

You’ll fall for Las Vegas in autumn

Uncategorized September 13, 2019November 3, 2022

It is almost impossible to think of Las Vegas without our ubiquitous entertainment options (read: gambling, eating, shopping and partying) coming immediately to mind. There is much more to experience here than the stereotype, however, and with cooling weather accompanying the arrival of September, fall is a great time to plan a visit to Club de Soleil and sample autumnal Las Vegas. Club de Soleil is a sunny and charming French Mediterranean-themed property just three miles from the world famous Las Vegas Strip. Book your fall visit today!

Pumpkin Patches in Las Vegas

Halloween Town Pumpkin Patch

For more than 20 years, Halloween Town Pumpkin Patch has been providing excellent pumpkin choices to residents and visitors of Las Vegas. They do a step beyond that to celebrate Halloween with games, rides, and other activities. Their main location is Boca Park, but they have since branched out and have several locations. Boca Park is open October 5 -31. Additional locations open October 12-31.

Gilcrease Orchard

Have a craving for delicious donuts and apple cider to go along with your pumpkin hunting adventure? How about a caramel apple? You can get those things and more at Gilcrease Orchard. This is a genuine pumpkin patch. That’s right. You’ll find a field where the pumpkins were actually grown. The small hay maze and hayride are free and so is the parking.

Las Vegas Farm

Las Vegas Farm has been around since 1961 and open to the public since 1968. It is truly a one-of-a-kind landmark here in the Las Vegas Valley, and an ideal place for the entire family to enjoy. The Farm offers visitors an opportunity to get up close and personal with many different animals, including chickens, peacocks, ducks, a goose, turkeys, goats, pigs, horses, cows, a mule, a llama, rabbits, cats, tortoises and more.

Fall Festival activities will include cow train for toddlers, pony rides, amazing maize maze, concession stand and more. Visitors will find a large selection of specialty pumpkins and squash, along with artisanal breads, jams/jellies, amazing local honey, and fresh farm eggs.

McKee Ranch

Mckee Ranch is open year-round, but it has a special event each autumn. This is a special area that will delight the entire household. There are horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and more! You can even meet Duncan the Donkey and Oreo the Goat. There are plenty of scenic areas for photo taking.

Haunted Houses in Las Vegas

Vegas Fright Nights

The spooky fun is hosted by Opportunity Village inside the Magical Forest. Begin the night with a visit to the Nightmare Manor where you may meet a demonic spirit or two. If you can make it through that experience, join the brave souls who are coming face to face with the scariest clowns you’ll ever meet.

The Trilogy of Terror

Ranked the scariest haunt in the country by USA Today and number one in Vegas by Las Vegas Weekly, this is the longest running horror show in town and a local and tourist favorite since 1992. Trilogy of Terror is home to three critically acclaimed haunted houses, including the first and only R-rated haunt in Nevada, the shocking Gates of Hell.

Asylum and Hotel Fear

They’ve been scaring Las Vegas residents and visitors for 20 years. We think they know pretty well what’s going to make us run screaming for an exit. Does that stop us? No! We love the thrill, and we are betting that you will, too. What makes this experience so cool is that the stories are linked. Feeling that romantic Halloween vibe? Why not get married at The Haunt? Sounds like a great idea to us!

Fun Things to Do with Kids in Fall

Springs Preserve Haunted Harvest

Make the Haunted Harvest at Springs Preserve an annual tradition for your household – an added part of your Halloween season events to remember. Trick-or-Treat stations and the Boo Town Train are sure to be a hit this year! You’ll also find a petting zoo, hay maze, crafts, live entertainment, food, games, and more!

HallOVeen at Magical Forest

HallOVeen at the Magical Forest of Opportunity Village celebrates its sixth year! They are open October 5-7, 12-14 and 19 -31. Get ready for the fascinated exclamations you’re sure to hear from everyone in the household when it comes to the enchanting Halloween themed decorations along the winding trails. Ride the Forest Express Ghost Train, Cheyenne’s Enchanted Carousel, and The Blizzard Mini-Coaster.

Get Ready for the 4th of July in Las Vegas

Uncategorized July 3, 2018November 3, 2022

The 4th of July is a big deal in Las Vegas, so make sure you prepare for the party early! Whether your idea of fun is a huge pool party with stellar music and tasty food, or a night out at one of Vegas’ trendiest clubs, there is something for everyone in Las Vegas. Vegas does holidays right, so let’s fill you in on all the hot spots to cheer on the good ‘ol US of A!

Book Your Room

The Strip offers many hotel rooms and options for the intrepid traveler, but this area of Las Vegas tends to get crazy busy during holiday weekends, so you may want to consider a room that is just a bit off the Strip. A hotel in DTLV (Downtown Las Vegas) might be the answer, or a truly off-Strip location like Club de Soleil is always a terrific option. The benefits of staying away from the Vegas Strip when booking your hotel are numerous – including quieter sleeping hours, less crowds, and more affordable suites.

4th of July Activities in Las Vegas

You couldn’t possibly fit all the 4th of July-related activities into a couple of days, so make sure to create a list and check off a few venues and experiences that you consider must-dos. Here are some of our favorites:

Relax by the pool. Sound anticlimactic? Sometimes there’s nothing better than spending a leisurely afternoon by the pool enjoying both the cool water and the toasty heat of the summer sun. If the water is calling your name, book a resort that has a big pool and plenty of amenities that’ll make your time in the sun unforgettable.
Attend a Las Vegas pool party! On a warm, holiday weekend in Las Vegas, prepare for a massive selection of pool parties! Whether your ideal pool party involves getting loud with a thousand of your closest friends or sampling fine wine and small plates at an exclusive poolside enclave, Las Vegas has what you want.
Check out a museum. While visiting a museum might not be the first holiday weekend activity that comes to mind, it’s going to be warm on the 4th and taking an occasional break from the heat will help keep your energy levels up and your body cool. Plus, there are dozens of incredible museums to check out in the area. From the fascinating Mob Museum to Madame Tussauds, the Bellagio Art Gallery to the Neon Museum, you’ll find a little slice of Las Vegas history – and some much needed A/C – when you take a detour to one of these local venues.
Take in a show! The nightlife never stops in Las Vegas, and the week of the 4th is chock full of amazing shows. From David Copperfield’s intriguing acts to the seemingly-impossible stunts on display at any of the Cirque du Soleil shows each night, attending a show in Vegas is a great way to stay cool and witness the theatrics of a live performance.
Watch the fireworks. Our inner child loves bright lights and big bangs, and the annual fireworks shows in and around the Vegas Valley never disappoint. Stroll the Strip for an up close and personal view of the Caesar’s Palace fireworks show (starts at 9:15pm on Saturday, June 30th), or head out toward Lake Mead and take in the Lake Las Vegas fireworks show on July 7th! You can catch more than one show if you’re planning to stay the entire week.

Things to Remember When Visiting Las Vegas for the 4th of July

-Keep in mind that it’ll be crowded, so mentally prepare for that aspect of the holiday week.

-It’s going to be warm, even at night. With daytime temperatures averaging 106 degrees in July, dress appropriately and have a plan that involves taking breaks inside or at the pool.

-Book now! It gets busy this time of year, so look for a resort that is near the center of town but isn’t on the Strip. You’ll generally get a much better deal on a room.

-Since the 4th lands on a Wednesday this year, plan on festivities starting on the Friday before and culminating on the 4th of July. Heading into town the weekend before ensures you’ll have access to the full calendar of events.

Whether this is your first time spending the 4th of July in Vegas or you’re a regular to Sin City, take the time to plan where you’ll stay and what you’ll do (even if that means planning to do nothing by the pool).
