It's that time again people, the weekend is nigh! Maybe you called out of work for Friday and are already settled into your hotel room on The Strip, or your counting down the hours until you can punch out and hop on that Friday night redeye into town. Maybe you're nostalgic and just perusing Vegas blogs. Either way, if you're reading this we know you're thinking about what's going on this weekend and we want to let you know our top weekned party picks!

Here are the essential parties going on around town this weekend:

Ah yes,  Labor Day... one of the few holidays meant for practically everybody – no prequisites required. Even if you happen to be currently unemployed (whether by luck or by choice) and continue to hold that status by the time Labor Day rolls around, as long as you've lifted a finger at one time in the totality of your life up until this point you get a pass... friend.

Even if you're not much for nightclubs, hitting up a Vegas pool party is definitely an experience you must cross off your bucket list. Each pool offers a unique atmosphere and various levels of "partying intensity". There is a pool for every personality type and mood, whether you want to tan in a daybed all day and indulge in snacks and drinks or if mingling in the pool basking in the sounds of your favorite DJ rockstar is more your style.

A Vegas Hangover is no ordinary hangover. No matter how much of a battle-hardened Vegas warrior you are, you cannot skip the first meal upon waking. If you partied as hard as you should have you'll no doubt be waking up after 10:00am. Don't waste your first meal to refuel with rabbit food or just a cup of coffee. Here are 5 perfect brunch meals to cure whatever ails you:

Just because the Fourth of July has passed doesn't mean Sin City doesn't have more up it's sleeve. Summertime is party time, and everyone wants to forget about the heat and the 9 to 5. Nothing that a heavy dose of booze and Progressive House Music and/or Hip-Hop couldn't fix. So without further ado, here is what is going on this weekend in our neon metropolis:

The Las Vegas Strip is home to over 30 different hotel properties and boasts a high concentration of 4 and 5 start resorts, not to mention 15 of the world's 25 largest hotels by room count are to be found within the 4.2 mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard.  One would be hard pressed to find a hotel that fails to impress. However, whether it's your first time visiting our neon metropolis or you're looking to explore outside of your usual mainstay property these hotels are guaranteed to exceed all expectation.

There’s really nothing better than visiting a local dive bar especially when you’re out of town. Entering into an unknown jaunt with no windows (to easily lose track of time drunkenly), dark interiors, a haze of cigarette smoke floating overhead, cheap drinks and a bartender who becomes your best friend after you buy them that first shot. Of course, you can make friends easily by buying the whole bar shots – even without breaking the bank.

Sometimes when you mix inebriated adults from all corners of the globe with a city whose nick name is "Sin City" you don't always get favorable results in terms of politeness and respect among the human species. Somehow or another, basic manners go out the window. We blame it on the alcohol, but also when you're in a cosmopolitan city full of strangers from all over people seem to forget the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. Here are 7 essential etiquette guidelines that when applied help make the golden rule a reality.

1) Say "Please" and "Thank You"

Las Vegas will witness yet another blockbuster weekend with The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC Las Vegas) and it's loyal patrons making their way into the city in droves. If you are trying to achieve 24/7 partying bliss, or if festivals simply aren't your cup of tea then you definitely want to catch these events over the weekend:

Las Vegas stands proud when it comes to the wide array of huge luxury hotel suites. It isn't so much the size of these suites that sets them apart from other travel destinations across the globe, but rather the unique 'wow' factor found in each particular one. A premium suite is the ultimate splurge, and Vegas is the capital of 'go big, or go home'. Locking down one of these breathtaking suites will ensure your stay is beyond exceptional.
