Las Vegas: ‘Hangover,’ Cirque and DJs fuel holiday fun

“The Hangover Part III” is just the start of Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas, which also includes the debut of Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson tribute and a bounty of nightclubs overflowing with widely known DJs.

The comedy film’s famed Wolfpack once again will overindulge, cinematically speaking, at Caesars Palace, whose gift shops will be awash in movie-themed merchandise.

To celebrate the release of the movie, Caesars will offer two themed packages beginning Friday. The Hangover Package includes a two-night stay and a $40 retail credit for movie-related items. Beginning Friday, use online booking code ICHOP. If you’re booking by phone at (800) 223-7277, use the code PKGCHOP.

The Ultimate Hangover Package upgrades guests to a two-story suite like the one featured in the movie “Rainman.” It also includes the gift-shop credit. Guests must book by phone at (800) 223-7277, using code PKGCUHO.

Prices for both offers vary by date and are subject to availability. The packages will be available throughout the summer.

Here are some of the other ways to be entertained during the holiday weekend:

Cabo Wabo Cantina in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood will be rocking Friday through Monday. The Corona girls will greet guests on the patio overlooking the Strip, and buckets of Corona will be priced at $20. Plenty of Baja-Mex food will also be available. Information: (702) 385-2226.
