Now the first weekend in May (aka THIS WEEKEND) is a double whammy! We have the Kentucky Derby on Saturday and Cinco De Mayo.

Cinco De Mayo 3

We gave you a little preview of this weekend last week in Total AC Blog here, but what we didn’t tell you is that there will be some celeb friends in the house to help ya’ll celebrate.

Kevin Rudolf will be taking over the hosting reins this Friday at The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort. You know him.

 

Sound familiar?

 

Totally appropriate.

And Saturday will not only mark the Kentucky Derby and Eve of Cinco De Mayo, but is also The Pool After Dark’s 6th Year Anniversary! It’s a party! And it’s a party hosted by Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton

Pricing starts at $20.

Shinedown and Bush will also be gracing the House Of Blues Atlantic City stage on Saturday. Shinedown was one of the most popular shows last year at HOB AC and this year should be no different! And how can it not be, they are bringing Gavin Rossdale this time!

 

You know you want to! Get your last minute tickets, here!

The next weekend is a biggie too and it starts off with National Shrimp Day on May 10th.

National Shrimp Day

We filled you in on that one last week too, here. But ya’ll LOVE your shrimp. Get it!

Then of course Sunday is Mother’s Day. Did you get your mama anything yet? Don’t forget! Let us shower you with a couple suggestions. Is your Mom a tad more old school or does she swing a little more new school?

Jazz up the old school’s kitchen a bit with some cute “Eat At Mom’s” giftware

Eat At Mom's giftware

Or some beautiful nature-themed pieces of The Botanical Collection. Get these at Caesars Exclusively at Caesars, The Viking Cooking School at Harrah’s Resort, and The Gift Shop at Bally’s.

The Botanical Collection

Eat At Mom’s is available at The Viking Cooking School, and the gift shops at Bally’s and Showboat.

What about some Yoga Jeans for those trendsetter moms?

Second Denim Yoga Jeans

No pair is the same as each is individually hand rubbed and nicked. And they are comfortable enough to do anything in. Even yoga. Hence the name. Get them at Caesars Exclusively and Studio at The Waterfront Shops at Harrah’s.

Then there are bags; bags for days!

Big Buddha purses

The Big Buddha Spring 2013 collection has a style to match every personality. Patterned or solid, bright or dark, grab whatever fits your Mom best at Studio at Harrah’s Resort and Bally’s, Caesars Exclusively at Caesars and The Gift Shop at Showboat!

And no Mother’s Day can be complete without a little Pandora!

Pandora

The limited edition Bear Your Heart charm is currently for sale while supplies last as well as the $200 Mother’s Day bracelet set with free jewelry box! Get one or both or anything else Mama may like at Pandora at Harrah’s Resort and Caesars Exclusively!

Not so fast…don’t forget the Tiffany & Co.!

The Victoria pendant and earrings are a fabulous, classic look to surprise any mother.

Tiffany & Co. 1

You never k now when life may call for some diamonds and platinum.

Or perhaps more often, pearls!

Tiffany & Co. 2

Tiffany & Co. at The Pier Shops at Caesars has these amaze pearl bracelets with sterling silver in any size you fancy – 4-5 mm, 9-10 mm, 4.5-5 mm, and 7-8 mm.

Can never go wrong with Tiffany & Co., kids and hubs.

Another thing you can never go wrong with is some kind of pampering.

Qua Baths & Spa

For example, Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars will be offering the #1 Mother on the special day for your special ladies. This includes a full body scrub, 50 minute classic massage, organic facial and spa lunch.

And if your favorite mom wants to bring a favorite mom of hers along, the One + One would be perfect! Mamas will get to choose between a massage or facial and get to enjoy a lunch for two.

Qua is so cool, they even have the Mom-to-be covered with the One On The Way package! Treat her to a 50 minute prenatal massage, Fijian scalp massage and lunch! She is probably having your child after all.

And if your spa knowledge is lacking and you just don’t understand anything we just said, why not pick up a gift certificate at Red Door Spa at Harrah’s Resort?

Red Door Spa

Every $200 spent here gets you a $30 spa card that can be used on any spa special or retail item until July 31st. Nice!

For all you children of the ‘80s and ‘90s turned Mamas, leave the kids at home this Mother’s Day weekend ‘cause it’s time to party!

The Pool After Dark will have Mr. Belding hosting Aqua Fridays on May 10th and Ben Savage…aka Cory Matthews taking over the mic on May 11th!

Mr Belding Dennis Haskins 1
Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?!
Ben Savage
I, Cory Matthews, am a PO-TAY-TO.

Take it back to those carefree days for two nights only! It’s gonna be hot!

And don’t forget the food! At the very least, a nice meal will suffice. Nero’s Tuscan Steakhouse at Caesars will be hosting a nice Mother’s Day Brunch from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while Café Roma will be offering a 3 course menu for $24.95.

Sammy D’s at Harrah’s Resort will also have a 3 course menu handy that day for $24 and Dos Caminos will be whipping up some Mama’s Margaritas and some special Lobster Guacamole and  Pescado en Cazuela Veracruzano.

French Quarter Buffet will be open for brunch with champagne for Mother’s at Showboat from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Scarduzio’s Steak & Sushi will feature their Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti later on.

And finally, 6ix: A Bistro at Bally’s will offer a 3 course menu for $28.99 and Arturo’s will have a special 4 course menu for $34.99.

All properties will also be serving up Breakfast in Bed until 2 p.m. from May 10th to May 12th.

Woo!

And the last weekend BEFORE the unofficial start of summer might as well be the official start of summer because ya’ll are in for a fun ride yet AGAIN.

Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City will have something for everyone on Friday, May 17th starting with a Cupcakes & Cocktails event hosted by Vive Salon & Day Spa at the Foundation Room at Showboat.

Hope Cuts

We don’t know many people cupcakes and/or cocktails won’t work for. We know they would work for us. And even more special is that proceeds from this event will go to Hope Cuts to support breast cancer research. $20 gets you cupcakes, a $40 goodie bag, live music and the feeling that you did something good. Be there from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

From there, you rockers should head over to the Chevelle show at House Of Blues at 9 p.m., and you country folk should hit up the Trace Adkins show at Caesars.

Trace Adkins

It’s been some time since Caesars has seen such a big country act, not to mention one of the sexiest voices in the game!

And you past/present teeny boppers will love hanging out with Mya later on at The Pool After Dark! Catch the Grammy award winner perform live! Pricing starts at $10.

Starting back at 9 on Saturday the 18th, Brian McKnight will take over the Concert Venue at Harrah’s Resort!

 

Who wouldn’t want to listen to these smooth sounds? Candy to our ears.

And what better way to end this weekend then at The Pool After Dark with the newly inducted Chippendale, former 90210 and Dancing With The Stars alum, Ian Ziering.

Ian Ziering

Yes, please. Maybe he can preview some moves for us before he starts his run at The Rio in Vegas on June 6th.

We don’t know about you, but all that was a huge mouthful for us leading you up until Memorial Day weekend. That weekend of course deserves its own blog full of even more sarcasm, wit and ridiculousness, but let us just tempt you with the following words: Bikini Beach Bar OPEN, Sean Lowe THE BACHELOR, Blues Traveler, Mary J. Blige, Robin Leach and SOMEONE WILL BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.

Until then….get to Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City in May. Didn’t we give you enough reasons? Take advantage of the Spring Room Packages on the Special Offers page and get to it! May’s a tickin!

Working Your New Year’s Resolutions With Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City

How are those New Year’s resolutions coming? You’ve been at them for about three weeks now and the monotony of it all may be starting to set in. Some resolutions may start becoming a little difficult. Some ALREADY have become difficult. Well, we’re here to tell you not to give up just yet! New Year’s Resolutions can be bearable and even fun if you put a little twist to them every now and then! Believe it or not, you can take an Atlantic City getaway and still keep your resolutions! We’re going to tell you how.

Many of you share this top New Year’s Resolution every year. Lose weight. Count the cals. Live healthy. Whatever you call it, it all boils down to the same thing. Make healthier choices. This may be surprising, but this is actually possible in Atlantic City. You just have to choose wisely. You hear the same things over and over again in regards to choosing healthy meal options. Lean proteins and veggies. Steamed, not fried. Healthier oils. Low on the sodium. Blah, blah, blah.

Determining which alcoholic beverage won’t kill your diet can be a bit more tricky, though. Luckily, Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City properties are here to help you out in that department. Check out some figure friendly cocktails, below.

The Steakhouse at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City has an amazeballs low cal martini made with TY KU products. Meet the Bikini Martini.

Low Calorie Martini

Cute, right? And she’s only 90 calories. This beauty is composed of 1 oz of TY KU Soju, 1 oz of TY KU Citrus Liqueur, and a splash of Cranberry. Nice. And refreshing.

Meanwhile, down on the Atlantic City boardwalk, Toga Bar at Caesars Atlantic City has a whole menu of skinny drinks based on Bethenny Frankel’s Skinny Girl line.

Skinny Girl Margarita

The most popular of the bunch, the Low Cal Margarita, consists of Skinny Girl Margarita RTD, a Lime Wheel and Salt Rimmed Glass. You can also add a splash of Grand Marnier if you wish. Won’t kill ya, we promise.

Toga Bar gets all fancy with the Skinny Girl products and also offers a Raspberry White Cosmo, Chilled Cucumber, Pina Colada, White Sangria, and Bare Naked Martini. All as low cal as you can get.

As far as wine goes, red is always the best option, and the Atlantic City Country Club will be capitalizing on that fact on Friday, February 1st with their “A Healthy Start” dinner.

Atlantic City Country Club

This dinner will bring to light the benefits of red wine: Red wine contains those antioxidants you always hear are good for you. In English, antioxidants are basically a boatload of vitamins and minerals that protect you from bad stuff. Make sense? Red wine has also been known to reduce blot clots every know and then and can slow down the aging process a bit since it contains Resveratrol that helps reduce inflammation. This is in moderation of course. Drinking A LOT of anything can still make your face puff out to the nines.

Tix for this dinner and wine tasting are only $49. Call 609-236-4411 to snag a reservation.

Now that we’ve helped you a bit on the healthy cocktails/losing weight front, what’s the second biggest New Year’s Resolution all of you busy people seem to make? MORE ME TIME! You are important and we can definitely help you pamper yourself in 2013 at Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City.

In the most obvious way, this would be very easy to do at our spas & salons. Red Door Spa at Harrah’s Resort is making it even easier too. Here’s the perfect way to do something for you, have fun with some friends AND force that one person out the door that always says they need to do more for themselves, but never does. *CoughMomCough*

Red Door Spa

The Bring A Friend Offer is going down at Red Door Tuesdays through Fridays. This gets you both 20% off services and retail. Click here to check out everything Red Door Spa has to offer. All you have to do is use the promo code NJBAF13 at the time of booking. Too easy!

Sometimes making yourself feel good means helping out someone who needs it most. You can do this at Bellezza The Salon at Caesars. Get your hair did or them nails shined. Or maybe a healthy glow will help brighten up your winter. Or a makeover. Whatever you choose is up to you. But you can also do a little something extra when frequenting Bellezza this month.

It’s all about the purple. Bellezza is offering purple hair extensions and nail designs this month to benefit Pancreatic Cancer Research. Get a little taste:

 

Bellezza 1

 

Bellezza 2

Looks really cool. And it’s for an amazing cause. Hair extensions are $10 and nail designs are $5. Help out and look good while doing it!

Red Door Spa At Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City Introduces Marine Spa Collection

Remember when you were a teenager and your mama used to tell you that ocean water would help clear up your atrocious zits? Maybe that was just us, but whatever. At any rate, turns out seawater has multiple health benefits. Red Door Spa at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City has just unveiled their Marine Spa Collection featuring four new treatments: Seawater Pearl Hydrating Facial, Hydra-Quench Remineralizing Body Wrap, Detoxifying Seaweed Body Wrap, and Contouring Marine Cellulite Treatment.

Red Door Spa

We decided to take one for the team and test out the Seawater Pearl Facial for you. It’s a tough job, we know. But we have to look and feel pretty. This service lasts for 65 minutes and you are given a neck and upper back massage in the process which is totally rad. This facial is perfect for peeps with skin on the dryer side as it moisturizes and hydrates your skin to the max. It’s also good for well, old-looking skin as it kicks cellular fatigue in the booty, bringing back that perfect skin you had when you first came out of the birth canal.

Our facial technician, Katie, was a superstar and walked us through the whole process. She started with a cooling cleanser on our face and shoulders that removed excess makeup and dirt, and then applied a papaya exfoliant to the face. This aided in clearing away that pesky dead skin. The papaya is especially special in this process because it can be used on all types of skin. Usually exfoliants irritate you sensitive little lambs, but not the papaya. Katie let this rest on our face for a bit and turned on the steam.

She then proceeded to moisturize our arms and hands, and give them a little massage too. Why not, right? We like.

After it was time for the steam to be turned off, Katie wrapped our face in a warm towel and began to gently scrape off the exfoliant. We felt an electrifying zing go through our face at this point. It was awesome. It was then time for the seawater pearls. This was massaged into our skin to bring back key minerals and moisture. Katie also gave us a facial massage at this point where she applied pressure to certain points around our jaw line and at the top of our head. This obvs helps allieviate tension of the face, but also gets that blood pumping in the right places to bring that plumpness back into our face so we can all look like healthy youngsters again. (Please enter second awesome facial zing of the day).

This took kind of a long while and it felt good. We enjoyed this part. The last order of business was the clay masque. The masque contained gigartina which is a red marine algae that helps hydrate the skin and absorb all the products used. (And third awesome facial zing of the day).

Besides the awesome zinging sensation, we totally looked fresh-faced at the end of this. It was pretty amazing. Better than botox, people. And absolutely less expensive.

Tats Be Gone (For Now) From Bellezza The Salon At Caesars Atlantic City

Apparently October and November are the new June and July because there have been like a zillion weddings around Atlantic City lately. Weddings are great and all, but there are two potential problems: Ugly bridesmaid dresses and tats.

Luckily though, Bellezza The Salon at Caesars Atlantic City can fix that tattoo issue, should you want them temporarily covered up. Makeup artist Ashley Pacula was on the prowl for a solution after being asked by numerous brides and bridesmaids through the years, and soon stumbled upon Kett Cosmetics.

Ashley tells us why Kett is so fab: “The Kett Cosmetic make up is an oiled-based make up, which means it is a high definition. The makeup is called Hydro Proof makeup, it is water-proof, smudge-proof, and completely non-transferable. Most make up is water-based so the oil-based is what gives it such great coverage to where the tattoo is completely gone.”

This also means that you’re safe if you get caught in a downpour or are sweating profusely.

Check out some of these before and afters.

Isn’t that totally awesome? And it only takes 10-15 minutes for a small tat and about 30 mins to an hour for a larger one. Price is based on size and coloring, and starts at $35.

So if you find yourself in a situation where you would rather not show your ink, call up Bellezza at Caesars AC. Quick, painless and simple.

 

Rid Yourself Of Problems at The Spa at Bally’s

Let’s be real. We all got probs. Mental, abso-freakin-lutely, but also physical issues. Even if we’re healthy as pigs, we all have something cause we’re like…human. Believe it or not, this blog also has physical problems because we’re really like…human too. So we set off for The Spa at Bally’s at Bally’s Atlantic City for a Reflexology Massage.

The Spa At Bally's

Like any kind of soothing treatment, Reflexology is amazeballs for relieving stress and restoring balance in the body, but this one can help heal those issues ya’ll got. And it’s all done in the feet. When something is wrong, we develop crystallized deposits in our feet and depending on where these are located, smart massage techs can figure out what’s wrong with us.

Some things we learned: Tension and deposits around the big toe correlate with the brain. The same spot around the second or third toe means lungs and sinuses. And the knuckle around the pinky toe is shoulder pain. Dead center of the foot is sciatic shiz and all along the arch is blood probs, kidney, spinal and gallbladder doozies. We don’t have ALL of that. For real. Just…you know…gathering research.

Anyway, this foot massage is very gentle. And it doesn’t tickle. It’s started by going down the feet and then it almost continues in a circular motion around all the areas. It’s cray cray how you can feel the pressure and body juices start to travel throughout your body from the start of the first touch.

At the end, we really feel so much lighter throughout. This treatment is recommended for cancer patients but also peeps with insomnia, migraines, high blood pressure, fatigue, etc.

The Reflexology Massage at The Spa at Bally’s at Bally’s AC is a 45 minute treatment and is priced at $130.

Detoxify The Summer Away At Qua Baths & Spa At Caesars

So there’s this new Body Treatment on the menu at Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Atlantic City that people of all ages are flocking to having endured many jolly nights during this summer season. You know what we mean? Ya’ll gotta get some stuff out of your system. And the Detoxifying Hungarian Mud Body Treatment is perfect for that. So much better than a juice cleanse…or something. Starvation and other unhealthy actions are not the answer to this! Get the treatment!

We did. And it was ahhh-mazing. (That was a totally relaxing ahhh, btw). The Detoxifying Hungarian Mud Body Treatment starts out with a dry buffer covering the body. It felt like a body scrub being gently massaged into the skin. Then it’s time for the mud. Some people squirm at the thought of mud covering the body, but you don’t have to in this case. First off, this mud is special. It comes straight from Europe. And it’s filled with all these extra good minerals that help open up the capillaries, rid evil toxins, and ease aches and pains. The wonderful people at Qua also add a rejuvenation oil to this mix to help you feel brand new again. Your skin will even look a little brand new after this treatment too. Anti-aging effects are also a benefit here.

Detoxifying Hungarian Mud Body Treatment

Disclaimer: This is not us.

Anyway, the mud was so nice and warm. Every new glop felt like an awesome electric current passing through the body. It was seriously an incredible sensation. After the mud is applied throughout, you get swaddled up in warm blankets like a newborn baby, and your amazing therapists give you a foot massage. Our pleasant and attentive masseuse, Janet, was the best because she flat out worked that spot that holds the heels up all day long. (Yes, this blog wears heels. Don’t judge). She told us that it was important to pay special attention to the feet because they hold the gravity of the body.

After the foot massage, it was time to wash off the mud. (By the way, now is probably the perfect time to tell you that this treatment is also offered for couples). We were surprised that the mud didn’t feel sticky when it dried and we liked that. And it wasn’t difficult to remove. Minimal scrubbing needed.

And just when you think it can’t get any better, it does. The Detoxifying Hungarian Mud Body Treatment is finished off with a full body massage. Double the relaxation in one treatment! It’s a no-brainer.

Don’t forget, you can also take another load off (if you have any left after that one) in one of the pools before you head back to your room…or the casino…or to lunch…whatever!

The Detoxifying Hungarian Mud Body Treatment at Qua at Caesars is a 75 minute treatment and is priced at $199 and $349 for couples. Book yours today by calling 609-343-2400. Tell us how you like it!
