Out and About: Mother’s Day Dates
We love our moms – so while we should be treating her EVERY day, let’s take extra special care to show her what she means to us on the day carved out just for her. If you haven’t started thinking about it yet, get on it. Here are some ideas that looked fun to us:
Spa Day
Get mom out to a fancy spa this year and lounge the day away. ESPA, which just recently launched at Vdara Hotel & Spa, 2600 W. Harmon Ave., is one of our picks for a truly luxurious all-day spa experience. Mom will love to be pampered with a variety of top of the line treatments like the “On the Rocks” massage, and maybe even glass of champagne to toast a job well done (yes, we’re talking about you). Visit www.vdara.com for scheduling and locals discounts.
Let her show off her skills
Give mom a chance to show off her cooking chops at Border Grill Las Vegas in Mandalay Bay, 3950 S. Las Vegas Blvd. Guests can enroll in a two-hour demonstration cooking class before partaking in some Mother-worthy mimosas and a multi-course brunch. Visit www.bordergrill.com for more information or call (702) 632-7403 to RSVP today before spots fill up!
Tea and Crumpets?
If mom wants to feel elegant on her big day, try one of the tea events being held in her honor:
“Mom’s Rock” Mother’s Day Tea
Benefitting St. Jude’s Ranch, the event takes place at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa, 221 N. Rampart Blvd., and features a hat parade, balloon drawing, live music, mother-daughter diamond pendant drawing and more. Visit www.stjudesranch.org for more information.
Safe Nest Mother’s Day Tea
Benefitting Safe Nest, the event takes place at the Four Seasons, 3960 Las Vegas Fwy., and features high tea and a fashion show along with a raffle, prizes and the announcement of the coveted Mother of Distinction award (you know your mom deserves it). Visit www.safenest.org for more information.
Art Festival of Henderson
For the artsy mom, there’s no better tradition than this annual celebration of artisanship at the Henderson Events Plaza, 200 S. Water Street. A family-friendly outing with mom to check out contemporary artists, fine craft, fashion, home décor artisans and more will be the perfect way to free her creative juices and celebrate her passions. Also, it might not be a bad idea to peruse for some awesome pottery or photography for your Mother’s Day gift! The event will run May 10-11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (4 p.m. on Sunday) and will include food and live music. Visit www.hendersonlive.com for more information.
