Cee Lo's Las Vegas Escape

Cee Lo's Las Vegas EscapeKnown for his one-of-a-kind voice and daring style, Cee Lo Green draws attention wherever he goes, but he's had enough of the paparazzi capturing every move he makes. With the help of his trusted chauffeur, Cee Lo escapes to the one place on earth where he can find a retreat from the flashbulbs of the press: Las Vegas! After all, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

With a true understanding of the Vegas Code, we will never know Cee Lo's "Only Vegas" moments, but we've picked a few Vegas hot spots that are certified safe for tweeting, posting, tagging and sharing. These spots also feature that distinctive Cee Lo flair.

Escape the paparazzi at Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, a glorious respite from the action of the city, and rest assured this sanctuary is all Vegas VIP. With its incomparable class and incredible views, the rooms at Wynn Las Vegas define the experience of "luxury." Elevate your party by experiencing the sparkle of Las Vegas on the 64th floor of THEhotel at Mix, where the stunning 24-foot chandelier of 15,000 hand-blown glass spheres dazzle like champagne bubbles. If 64 floors aren't enough, then take it to the top with SkyJump at Stratosphere. The ultimate Vegas free fall from the 108th floor is one heck of a view.

Shopping in Vegas is a must. Stroll through Crystals at CityCenter, an unprecedented array of the world's most exclusive retailers including many flagship stores including TOM FORD, Roberto Cavalli, and Louis Vuitton. The glamour doesn't stop there, be entertained by GRAMMY award-winning music icon and inspiration to Cee Lo, Elton John at Caesars Palace.

Call your friends, pack your bags, book a trip, and explore the luxury Las Vegas has to offer. But remember, knowing the code is the first step in truly experiencing your "Only Vegas" moments. Sign the oath and report those who violate the code.  

Vegas: The ultimate thrill ride

Every trip to Las Vegas is exciting, but some people want more excitement than others. If you're a thrill-seeker, Las Vegas has plenty of ways for you to get your adrenaline rushing. How about swimming with the sharks? Inside the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, there are no cages -just you, 1.3 million gallons of underwater real estate, and more than 30 sharks, including Sandtiger, Sandbar and White Tip Reef sharks.

Prefer wind over water? Hook up to a harness at the new Fremont Street Flightlinez  cruise down a zip line right over the crowds on Fremont Street and under the giant video canopy. For some zip lining with a little less neon, head out to Boulder City for Bootleg Canyon Flightlines.

If you love roller-coasters, head down to Buffalo Bill's in Primm and see how you hold up against the Desperado's Turbo Drop, a 255-foot nosedive that highlights one of the world's tallest and fastest scream machines. Or twist, loop and dive around New York City with the Coney Island-style coaster at New York-New York.

In Las Vegas, the sky is the limit. Well, almost. The SkyJump at the Stratosphere is about as you can get for a thrill ride. At 108 stories, it's the highest controlled free fall in the world. It really is the best way to see the city, hurtling towards your face at a ridiculous speed.
