Weather Report Alert! Weather Report Alert! Weather Report Alert!
ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER is delightful right now, Las Vegas will soon be in the middle of a triple digit heat wave—it will last all summer! Now is the time to plan a getaway from those desert dog days.

Imagine the cool beaches off the Pacific in Newport Beach, CA. How would a high of 80 degrees and a low of 70 degrees sound to you? Inviting, very inviting and refreshing—a great place for some rest, relaxation and a renewal of the spirit!


Marriott Hotel and Spa in Newport Beach, CA offers some of the finest amenities in the area. After a recent renovation, the sophisticated hotel now boasts a new, fantastic Spa called Pure Blu (a spa where your soul is soothed) is a special delight for the senses. All the treatments revive your spirit and lend themselves to making one feel absolutely delicious! There is even a seashell exfoliation rub that removes the desert dryness from your skin and releases moisture creating a smoother and younger body. The massages are excellent—especially the full body, deep tissue therapeutic treatment that makes one's body rejoice. There are many different treatments available and there is also a sauna, relaxing spa, steam rooms and a pool (the only place where men and women can share the use of the space). There is also cardio-vascular and weight training equipment to complete the experience. The ladies and men's facilities are separated which gives greater freedom to the individual. In the relaxation room, healthy fruits, nuts, special teas and soothing music all are part of the pampering of the spa client. There is also a full service nail and hair salon for the patron's finishing touches of a day of pampering.

The hotel rooms are also new—and the choice of décor is refreshing, as well as classy. The beds are luxurious with Egyptian cotton sheets and duvets to add to your comfort.

The hotel staff is most gracious and will make every effort to accommodate your every wish. Bathrobes, double-size showers and extra roomy closets all add to your personal enjoyment. Terraces open to views of the Pacific Ocean and the yacht harbor is part of the landscape. A beautiful golf course is available right next to the property.

Sam and Harry's provide some of the finest fresh seafood and steaks for the gourmand. The preparation of the foods is impeccable! Each dish is cooked to your particular specifications. This is truly a fine restaurant to complete your palate desires.

Venturing into Newport Beach itself, is only moments away—and the quaint island of Balboa, is but a ferry ride after you enter the easy going artisan village over the small bridge. Everything from handmade candies to unique fashions is available for your enjoyment. On Balboa Island, do not miss Ruby's, the in spot for all around casual dining. Also in Newport Beach, try out the divine menu selections at the Tommy Bahama Restaurant, decorated in colonial Caribbean style. While you are waiting to be seated, you can browse and shop through the world-renowned Tommy Bahama clothing and home décor collections. Roy's, a Las Vegas tradition, can also be enjoyed at their Newport location on Newport Center Drive. Roy's great Asian fusion dishes are truly blended into this blissful atmosphere. For fun snacking, there is an affordable, antique style candy shop on the wharf where you can buy a bag of mixed goodies and sit outside on a bench and people watch while you munch a bunch and dream about childhood memories. They even have those button candies, wax lips and soda bottles filled with colored, sugary syrups!

The Marriott at Newport Beach is only a short plane ride from Las Vegas, via either Ontario or John Wayne Airports in Orange County. When you arrive or depart from John Wayne Airport, do check into the conveniently located Radisson Hotel for an overnight layover until your morning flight. Here you can see airplanes take off and land without hearing the din of the engines as you gaze out of your room's windows. The unobstructured view from your windows of these planes is downright exciting. If you wish to head there by your own vehicle, a car trip is only a few hours in length, but a million miles away in atmosphere.

Kick back—enjoy! The Marriott at Newport Beach is there for your pleasure—so, indulge in being a guest at a hotel that strives to be the best! You will find yourself returning to the Marriott Newport Beach Hotel and Spa—for a close vacation getaway, so within reach for great rest, relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation.
