Game Day Essentials for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas | As Seen on The CW Vegas

February 02, 2024 / Brielle Galekovic

Las Vegas has become the ultimate sports destination and next week, for the first time Las Vegas and the state of Nevada will welcome the Super Bowl! Today on The CW Vegas, I am showing both locals and visitors the essentials you need for Super Bowl weekend, from style tips to team swag to celebratory libations. It was only a matter of time before Las Vegas welcomed the Super Bowl, so let’s match the city’s big energy with some pre-game fun!

ICE SHAKER

Starting off with one of the biggest names in football: Gronkowski! As seen on Shark Tank, the Ice Shaker brand was created by and is used by the Gronk brothers. Not only are they customizable, but they’re equipped with a patented twist-in agitator that breaks up powders, yet are silent when you shake them. Plus, they’re made of kitchen-grade stainless steel that won't absorb odor like plastic bottles do. These bottles also hold ice for 30+ hours which is great for workouts or keeping your drink cold during the game. These are an absolute necessity in any football fan’s life and make iconic memorabilia personalizing them with a logo or for Super Bowl LVIII!

FOCO Team Stripe Clear Crossbody Bags

If you’re in town attending the big game or if you simply love repping your home team, FOCO’s Team Stripe Clear Crossbody Bags are the perfect functional accessory. They’re stylish and meet stadium guidelines for clear bags, so fans can breeze through security checkpoints hassle-free! They’re available in all 32 NFL teams on FOCO.com, and feature team-colored borders, team logo displays, and a woven team-colored strap. This bag is ideal for any NFL fan, because it offers practicality and team spirit in a single accessory.

NFL PENDANTS BY GLD

Football seasons may come and go, but these NFL pendants by GLD are seasonless and timeless for both men and women. There is a pendant and chain for everyone no matter who your team is! Most of these pendants and chains are 14K white gold plated or 14K gold plated with CZ stones. Chains range from $99-$200 and pendants from $79-$129 - super affordable for the amount of sparkle and bling these bring.

GLD’s activation will be located in the official NFL Super Bowl Experience in Mandalay Bay Convention Center and will include showcasing some of the most unique NFL jewelry pieces created this year for the NFL, as well as custom pieces created for players and worn on the field. There will be an area where customers will be able to try on and take a photo with the official NFL super bowl pendant, and GLD will be offering their NFL items for sale on site as well on GLD.com.

FREE AF NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS

Although we’re just coming off of Dry January, many have adapted this mindset year round. If you’re hosting a Super Bowl watch party, Free AF non-alcoholic cocktails are the perfect ready to drink beverage to grab when you’re wanting an alternative to liquor. These are my favorite because not only are they based on real cocktails, but they’re powered by Afterglow™, a 100% natural botanical extract that mimics the pleasant warmth of drinking alcohol — without the alcohol. These are available for purchase at your local Sprouts.

INTERCEPT WINES BY CHARLES WOODSON

If you are a wine lover, there’s no other wine to celebrate the Super Bowl in Vegas with than Intercept Wines created by 18 year NFL vet and pro NFL Hall of Famer Charles Woodson. For starters, the name alone is so fitting for the occasion and the creation was influenced by his time training for the then-Oakland Raiders in Napa, California. His goal for creating this wine was to build a nationally recognized brand that brings his passion for wine to every sports fan’s table in America. Each bottle is line priced at $20 each and can be purchased at cwinterceptwines.com or your local retailer.

From beachy staycations to authentic western experiences and even family-friendly fun in the desert, check out all the wonderful options for you and your loved ones to escape to this holiday that we covered on this morning’s show.

Viceroy Santa Monica (Los Angeles, CA) - Indulge in a sun-soaked beach holiday getaway at the newly renovated Viceroy Santa Monica, where you can leave winter weather behind and bask in the warmth of Southern California just steps from the Pacific Ocean. The Coastal Holiday Escape Package is inclusive of luxury accommodations, a $75 daily food and beverage credit to use at the hotel’s signature restaurant Sugar Palm, a festive welcome drink, 50% off of the resort fee, and two tickets to experience Ice at Santa Monica, Downtown Santa Monica’s outdoor ice skating rink.

And each year, Alisal partners with The Solvang Bakery to create gingerbread replicas of its barn, front office, library, cottages and livestock to display.

They’re also offering a “Winter at the Ranch” special for December stays, offering 30% off rates that includes breakfast, dinner, drinks, holiday activities (like cookie decorating and cocktail making), and other ranch activities like boating, fishing, hiking, biking, and wine tasting.

Hyatt Regency Indian Wells makes the perfect getaway for those looking to experience all the festive traditions of the holiday season without the cold and this December, is offering a Winterfest package, where families can enjoy HyTides Waterpark and family-friendly activities on-site, followed by a festive evening at the roller rink at Indian Wells Golf Resort. The package includes: tickets to the Indian Wells Golf Resort Roller Rink, daily $50 F&B credit, and complimentary transportation from the property to the Indian Wells Golf Resort.

Thank you so much KTLA for having me - Sandra and Glen, you were wonderful and loved that we all share the same thing: we were all formerly NJ residents, now residing in the Los Angeles area. Small world, and what a treat!

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Beauty & Skincare Essentials for Your Weekend at a Vegas Dayclub | As Seen on THE CW Vegas

July 17, 2022 / Brielle Galekovic

Another super fun segment on The CW Vegas! I loved coming back - it actually has been the first in-person segment I have done since the wold turned upside down in 2020 (stations are JUST allowing guests physically back in), so I was extremely excited for this one! It aired live on July 15th, 2022. In my segment I’m giving VIP access to all the beauty and skincare essentials you need for your upcoming weekend at a Vegas dayclub… because we all know that Vegas pool parties are much more than just lounging in the sun; they’re literally nightclubs during the day so you have to plan accordingly! Here are all my summer 2022 must-haves I know you’ll absolutely love. Links to all the products featured below!

evolvetogether Natural Deodorant

This is going to be your new favorite deodorant. First off, the packaging is so luxe. It smells incredibly chic and is made with clean ingredients and advanced technology to naturally absorb excess moisture, soothe skin, and neutralize tough odors — without interfering with your body’s natural sweating process. The water-based formula goes on clear (zero clumps or white marks). You can purchase yours here.

evolvetogether Hydrating Lip Balm

Another dayclub hack is bringing one of these in your bag. It’s also all plant based which will keep dry lips from the Vegas heat moisturized without sticky residue. It can double as a way to tame flyaways on the go, too which is one of my favorite things about it!

The Mug Guard by Dune Suncare

Just launched summer 2022 in the cutest bottle. This little bottle of magic is an essential to avoid a greasy face but still get protection from the sun you need. This revolutionary invisible gel SPF goes on clear, so it’s perfect to apply on the face but also on the scalp and ears as well which could be exposed to the sun if you’re wearing your hair up. Snag yours here.

R+Co BLEU Daily Forecast Finishing Spray

No matter how you plan to do your hair before your day at the club, this spray is how you’ll seal in your style and will be the final step in your regimen. It’s an antioxidant-rich finishing mist that delivers an airtight shield for protection from deflating elements. It’s the perfect way to protect and balance the hair as well as improve the strength and the shine.

Summer Fridays Pool Time Glowing Body Oil

Before you’re ready to head out the door, this sparkling body oil is the finishing touch to illuminate the skin and enhance a sunkissed look. I love that you can apply it easily during the day when layered with sunscreen, and then you can reapply at night to amplify your glow you got from earlier.

natureofthings Soothing Powder

After a long day of dancing and cocktails under the sun, have yourself a little wellness happy hour at home with something hydrating and tropical tasting. Pour one of these into a glass of water and sip. It has a powerful trio of palliative anti-inflammatories which is the perfect way to end your day after a long day of dancing and cocktails under the sun. Find this and lots more anti-inflammatory essentials to incorporate into your regimen here.

Hope you enjoyed all my picks! If anyone tries any of the products featured, I would love to hear from you and see what you think. Whether pool parties are your thing or not, I know that these unique products across the board will be loved by all. Happy summer!!!
