Green Valley Ranch Resort

Look at the advertisement photos for the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas and you can not only imagine (or wish) yourself there but can imagine the place filled with classic celebrities.  At least, I can.  I see the likes of Elvis—or one of his characters, like Rick—conversing or conferring in the fabulous indoor pool room with the welcoming overstuffed chairs and matching footrests…or better, do one of his classic group songs where he sings and plays the git while the go-go girls, clad only in fringed two-piece suits shimmy around him and the shimmering blue pool. 

One can also see Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. kicked back and tipping back clinking cocktails, or Wayne Newton and his entourage taking over this area of the Green Valley Ranch Resort during a break from sets in the lounge.

You can also see the likes of any celebrity at the outdoor pool of Green Valley Ranch Resort—which is lined with symmetrically, artistically, and even ergonomically apt lounge chairs:  you can imagine Lucille Ball and Dezi Arnez, or Jerry Lewis, or Jackie Gleason, relaxing in between sets or gigs, enjoying the cabana service, the fresh air and sun, the deep Mediterranean teal blue pool.

I get these nostalgic impressions from the décor—especially that which is a delightful throwback to or simulation of the fifties and sixties, but the décor also changes, progresses, as do the amenities at Green Valley Ranch Resort.  For example, the spa facilities are shown by photos with sleek women stretched out in meditative repose, smooth stones lining their backbones or special skin treatment solutions (that look like egg yolk batter or paint) being applied as they recline in quiet serenity.  Therefore, I get the sense that if they were to visit Las Vegas and were to choose Green Valley Ranch Resort, big stars like Angelina Jolie or Michelle Pfieffer or Ving Rames or Brad Pitt would be in their vacationing element in spas like these.

Of course, big time gamblers like Ben Affleck would look and feel just as right in the Green Valley Ranch Resort casino (if he/they didn’t feel up to going a few hundred feet away to the strip and the other gambling houses); and the entertainment, which turns out to be advertised with a nod toward Hollywood, is both indoor and outdoor delight at the Green Valley Ranch Resort.  So come to think of it, I can see myself lounging at the water, getting pampered in the spa, or gambling like all get out.  Check out the photos and slide show of the Green Valley Ranch Resort—and I would BET you can imagine yourself there, as well.
