Sin City has become a real-life backdrop for reality TV, attracting stars from multiple hit franchises. From shows that film on the Strip to fan-favorite watch parties that bring episodes to life, the city has cemented itself as a go-to destination for reality TV culture.
Reality stars are often found enjoying all that Las Vegas has to offer, from dining at popular restaurants to hosting watch parties at dayclubs.
The Blast has compiled a list of just some of the recent reality star visitors and where they were found in the “Entertainment Capital of the World.”
With so many amazing experiences to enjoy in Las Vegas, you might wonder where your favorite reality stars gravitate. For some, the choice of where to dine is very intentional.
Amaya Modern Mexican at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has been a hot spot for reality stars from some of television’s most loved franchises. A few of their recent guests include Brett Brown and Tiffany Pennywell Brown (“Love is Blind”), Hannah Wright and Marco Donatelli (“Love Island USA”), Johnny Middlebrooks (“Love Island USA,” “Love Island Games,” and “House of Villains”), Kaitlen Reagan (“Paradise Hotel”), and Kayla Richart (“Too Hot to Handle” and “Perfect Match”).
Amaya is known for fire performers, theatrical presentations, and elaborate dishes, as well as nightly DJs and a high-energy atmosphere.
Many Reality Stars Visit The Strat For Views And Adrenaline-Pumping Experiences
It’s not just the dining that reality stars visit Vegas for. Some are seeking amazing views and adrenaline rushing moments, and The STRAT offers both.
During Season 29 of “The Bachelor,” Grant Ellis had a unique one-on-one date at The STRAT, where he and his date did SkyJump, an 855-foot controlled descent from the Tower.
According to The STRAT’s website, “SkyJump is a heartpounding, scream-inducing, open-air leap from 829 feet above the neon Strip and holds a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial decelerator descent facility. You’ll zoom toward the landing pad at speeds topping 40 mph while the crowds below gasp and applaud your bravado.”
Reality TV Loves The Views From Top Of The World Steakhouse
Top of the World Steakhouse at the top of The STRAT is a popular filming location for reality TV thanks to the amazing 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip from 800 feet above the city. The restaurant has served as the backdrop in many reality series, including Season 7 of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” and Season 9 of “Queer Eye.”
The Blast was told that there are more reality TV features that will be airing soon, but since they’re still under wraps, we can’t say more about that just yet (so stay tuned)!
‘Love Island’ Watch Parties Are Popular In Vegas
One thing Vegas visitors love is a fun reality TV watch party. Tailgate Beach Club launched its Reality After Dark series in early June with a “Love Island” premiere watch party hosted by Kaylor Martin from Season 6, cohosted by Vegas Girl Events. The poolside viewing party featured signature cocktails, tasty bites, and brought fans together in a fun atmosphere to celebrate the start of another season of the beloved reality show.
Tailgate has another fun watch party on the calendar for the finale on July 12. According to the website, Tailgate will feature a party that starts with a poolside TruFusion class.
“Get your body and your bracket ready as the villa crowns its winning couple. Sunday, July 12th Love Island Finale Schedule at Tailgate Beach Club: 5:00 PM — TruFusion Class 6:00 PM — Love Island Finale Viewing Party Work up a sweat with TruFusion, then settle poolside on 145 feet of LED for the Love Island finale with the rest of Vegas’s biggest fans of the villa,” the website reads.
A New Reality Show Is Filming On The Strip
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, Lisa Vanderpump, well-known and loved in Las Vegas with multiple restaurants on the Strip, recently added a hotel to her list of businesses. The Vanderpump Hotel opened last month, and it’s been a hit for visitors and locals alike.
While transforming The Cromwell into The Vanderpump Hotel, Lisa took the opportunity to show fans just what went into it by filming a new reality series called “Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas.”
NBC Universal made the announcement about the new show in early May. The official description reads, “Lisa Vanderpump has been ruling over the Las Vegas strip for years now, with three hotspot restaurants serving up chic cocktails in her signature whimsical settings. Now, she is expanding her Vegas empire through the opening of her high-profile namesake hotel. In this limited series, we follow the behind-the-scenes dash to make the property worthy of the Vanderpump brand. LVP shares what inspired her newest enterprise and pulls back the curtain on the down-to-the-wire drama. The series will culminate at The Vanderpump Hotel’s lavish opening party, with fan-favorite Bravolebrities celebrating the launch.”
No airdate has been released just yet, but we’re sure it’s worth the wait!
