Cinematic Swim
One of our favorite summer traditions on the Strip is back – dive-in movies at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. All summer long, the resort’s iconic Boulevard Pool transforms into an open-air cinema on Monday evenings, where guests can unwind as movies play across a 65-foot digital marquee set above the Las Vegas Strip. This season’s lineup delivers a mix of nostalgic favorites, feel-good comedies, and blockbuster hits, including Superman (July 27), Super Mario Galaxy (August 3), Ocean’s 11 (August 10) and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (August 17). General admission opens at 6:30 p.m., with the films beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online, with complimentary admission for hotel guests and MGM Rewards Gold tier members and above.

Island Prime
James Beard Award-winning Chef Kwame Onwuachi (Dōgon in Washington, D.C. and Tatiana in New York), recently made his West Coast debut with his largest concept yet, an Afro-Caribbean-inspired steakhouse at Sahara Las Vegas. At the heart of the kitchen, a custom-built jerk pit infuses signature dishes with layers of smoke, spice, and depth, showcasing rich Caribbean culinary traditions with rum-aged steaks, jerk chicken, and banana leaf snapper with tamarind chutney and curried okra. Tropical cocktails sport warming spices, like a soursop margarita and allspice spritz. The restaurant is named after the Maroon people, descendants of Africans who escaped slavery to form sovereign communities in Jamaica’s mountainous interior in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the design takes cues from the region’s beauty.

Fusion Feast
EDO Hospitality’s newest restaurant celebrates a mesh of French and Spanish cuisine with lively brasserie culture, with chandelier lighting, marble accents, and porcelain tiles. At Braseria by EDO, diners can enjoy a tableside champagne cart and chartreuse on draft – a Vegas first. The 20-seat Carrara marble-topped bar is perfect for guests who want to catch a game on TV, plug-in to work, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Truffled panisse, kaluga caviar and buckwheat churros, and jamón croquetas are just a few craveable snacks to start, and don’t miss the seared foie gras tart with calvados caramel and pecan crumble.

Artificial Serenity
This isn’t a Sci-Fi fever dream, it’s the future of wellness. Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace recently debuted the Strip’s first AI-powered robotic massage. Aescape combines advanced robotics, body mapping, and customizable pressure controls to deliver a fully automated massage experience. Before the session begins, the system creates a digital understanding of the guest’s body and allows users to tailor pressure levels and focus areas. The massage is performed on a heated treatment table while guests remain in specially designed apparel that enables the robotic arms to glide smoothly across the body. Pressure remains consistent from start to finish, and you can adjust intensity in real time without needing to communicate with a therapist.
