Together, these experiences created the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and style, making this New Year’s Eve one for the books.

Resorts World Las Vegas: A Monumental Fusion of Technology and Tradition

Opened on June 24, 2021, Resorts World Las Vegas represents the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and luxurious tradition. As the first integrated resort to grace the Las Vegas Strip in over a decade, this $4.3 billion property has set a new benchmark for luxury and innovation. With 3,506 guest rooms and suites, a next-generation gaming floor, over 50 world-class dining options, a 5,000-capacity theatre, and vibrant nightlife venues, Resorts World Las Vegas is a destination that offers an unparalleled experience.

The collaboration with Hilton brings three premium brands to the resort: Las Vegas Hilton, Conrad Las Vegas, and Crockfords Las Vegas, each offering a distinct luxury experience. Guests at Resorts World Las Vegas enjoyed gourmet dining, exhilarating entertainment, and high-end retail while indulging in the most advanced gaming technology. The resort also incorporates globally-inspired dining such as the Famous Foods Street Eats food hall and ¡VIVA!, a Mexican restaurant with design elements that blend modern luxury with traditional Mexican aesthetics.

Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres: A Dream Destination for New Year’s Eve

Hyatt Inclusive Collection’s Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres made its grand debut just in time for the New Year’s Eve celebrations, marking the beginning of a new era in all-inclusive luxury. Located on the pristine shores of Costa Mujeres, this adults-only resort offers 509 elegant suites, infinity pools with panoramic views of the Caribbean, and an array of world-class amenities. With its diverse dining options, including international buffets, French-inspired cuisine, and authentic Mexican dishes, the resort provided a culinary journey like no other.

A highlight of the resort’s New Year’s Eve experience was the tequila tasting, featuring a curated selection of the finest agave spirits. Guests were introduced to over 300 types of agave, each sourced from the Jalisco region, known for its rich tequila heritage. The tequila tasting began with the distinctive blue Tequilana Weber agave, which is carefully harvested by jimadores. The process begins with cleaning the agave hearts, or piñas, which weigh 40-50 kilos. These piñas are then baked for 48 hours, allowing the sugars to break down and become more extractable. After baking, the piñas are crushed, with the juice extracted traditionally by horses stepping on the agave to release the liquid. The fermentation process follows, with the natural sugars turning into alcohol thanks to the yeast (levaduras) added. This process reaches 78 degrees of fermentation, creating a tequila that is both complex and rich in flavor.

Guests celebrated the arrival of 2025 with tequila tastings, gourmet dining, and a host of exciting activities on and off the resort,, from lounging by the pool to exploring the world’s second-largest barrier reef. Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres proved to be the ultimate luxury destination, offering a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and indulgence.

The resort also boasts a collection of exquisite restaurants,, and Oceana, offering a fresh seafood menu paired with Caribbean flavors. For a more refined dining experience, Bordeaux serves French-inspired gourmet dishes, perfect for a romantic dinner. The World Café provides a buffet experience featuring international cuisine, while El Patio offers a cozy atmosphere for authentic Mexican fare, perfect for both casual and upscale dining.
