Wynn Las Vegas Description

With its golden facade arching toward the sky, Wynn Las Vegas provides a unique fusion of nature and luxury in a resort fit for royalty. From the towering mountain at the front of the resort on the Las Vegas Strip to the Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course at the back, natural beauty permeates Wynn Las Vegas.

Lagoons, waterfalls, terraced landscapes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights throughout the 217-acre resort create a tranquil and glorious environment. Fine dining, swank shops, a rejuvenating spa and thriving nightlife round out the resort experience.

Flowers bloom throughout the Wynn property, both living and as part of the design. An indoor atrium near the lobby leads guests through a pathway of flowers and trees. Even the carpet in the 110,000-square-foot casino – which has more than 1,900 slots, a 26-table poker room and a full array of tables games – portrays a colorful and thematic flower pattern.

The marriage of luxury and nature at Wynn Las Vegas does not end with the resort's main level. Guests ascending the 50-story hotel tower will discover rooms designed with floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of either the Las Vegas Strip, the resort's golf course or the lake and mountain. Room amenities include European linens, flat-screen televisions in the living and bathroom areas, high-speed internet access and more.

The luxurious Tower Suites, which operate as a boutique hotel within the Wynn Las Vegas, is the first in Las Vegas to earn Mobil Travel Guide's highest rating – five stars. In granting the coveted rating, Mobil praised the Tower Suites for its fine, white-glove service and accommodations that feel like posh private residences.

Restaurants at the Wynn such as Alex, Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, Daniel Boulud Brasserie, and SW Steakhouse include offerings from internationally celebrated chefs, including Alessandro Stratta, Daniel Boulud, David Walzog, Rene Lenger, Masa Ishizawa, Philippe Rispoli, Richard Chen, Paul Bartolotta, Mark LoRusso, Stephen Kalt and Hisham Johari. For a more casual dining experience, The Buffet features 16 live-action exhibition cooking stations and Zoozacrackers, near the 195-seat race and sports book, serves New York-style deli food. The Terrace Point Café serves American favorites 24 hours a day with seating overlooking the pools and gardens.

A glimpse of the gardens, on the other side of the man-made mountain, reveals a mammoth curtain waterfall pouring into the 3-acre Lake of Dreams which features a nightly light, music and multimedia show. Guests can enjoy the breathtaking view while sipping cocktails amid an eclectic collection of multi-colored upside-down parasols at Parasol Up on the casino level or Parasol Down on the lake level; or just stop by the circular escalators surrounding the bars for a moment to take it all in.

Making its home at the Wynn is Le Rêve, the sublime aquatic creation of Cirque Du Soleil veteran Franco Dragone.

Wynn Las Vegas' nightlife offerings include the boutique nightclub Blush and Tryst, with its secluded lagoon and sizeable dance floor. A beautifully landscaped, expansive outdoor pool complex has two main pools, private cabanas, table games and a special terrace for group events. The Wynn Las Vegas Spa features 45 treatment rooms as well as a full-service salon, barbershop and fitness center.

The hotel's second tower, the $2.7 billion Encore Tower is expected to open in December 2008 adjacent to the Wynn.

Where else but the Wynn Las Vegas can a shopper leave a hotel with Manolo Blahniks and a brand new Ferrari? The Wynn Esplanade offers a unique shopping experience with stores including Chanel, Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta and many more. The resort is also home to the Penske Wynn Ferrari Maserati dealership and showroom.

At the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, pampering takes on a different meaning. It is the largest spa in town, and with 62 treatment rooms, it offers some of the most extensive and extraordinary services available.

The spacious guest suites at The Venetian are aesthetically stunning as well as technologically sound, with refinements from Italian marble in the bathrooms to a mini bar.

At the Venezia Tower, the resort's most recent addition, luxury rooms are redefined with 700-square-foot suites that boast 9.5-foot ceilings, 130-square-foot bathrooms, three telephones and two 27-inch flat-screen TVs, among other luxuries.

Treasure Island - TI Las Vegas

2008-12-28T09:51:00.000-08:00

Treasure Island - TI Description

Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip, now known simply as TI, is aptly named because of its many hidden treasures. A paradise for adults, TI includes some of the hippest hangouts in town, a tropical pool area with a party tub, a wide variety of restaurants and the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas.

Once known as a kid-friendly pirate paradise, TI has grown up. The hotel not only looks different, it is different. The pirate-style marquee has been replaced by a sleek design bearing the TI initials. The long-running pirate show has been scuttled in favor of a sultry performance featuring the sexy Sirens of TI.

Visitors flock to Vegas to relax, play and eat well, and TI has met the challenge of accommodating even the most sophisticated tourist, most aggressive card shark and most selective diner. The hotel's spacious guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing spectacular views of the Vegas Strip.

The easy-to-navigate 95,000-square-foot casino includes a poker room, race and sports book, several thousand slot and video poker machines as well as plenty of table games.

Isla Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar serves some of the most creative Mexican fare in town, including a $99 margarita, the Goddess Elixir, handmade at your table. Kahunaville gives diners the option of enjoying their meal while being entertained by flair bartenders. An elite clientele patronizes the ever-popular Social House, which offers sushi and Pan Asian cuisine with a patio that overlooks the Strip and the Sirens' Cove. The Buffet at TI redefines the classic Vegas buffet and takes it to a new level, giving diners a gourmet buffet-style meal. The futuristic-looking Canter's Deli serves enormous portions of traditional delicacies and even offers a take-out menu. TheCoffee Shop features something truly unique -- its very own Vietnamese restaurant, Pho, located inside.

At WET – the Spa at TI, guests can cool off with a full menu of water-based treatments sure to make them forget they are in the desert. The pool features private cabanas and a party tub that fits 50 people. As hot spots go, Christian Audigier The Nightclub provides the ultimate in a hip and cool nightspot with artwork featuring Audigier's trademark style of roses, sequins and skulls and the ultimate party patio with views and a club scene that could easily be one of the best in Vegas. Near the center of the casino Mist provides an intimate locale for a truly romantic evening. Perhaps you would like to make the romance last a lifetime by getting married while overlooking the Las Vegas Strip aboard the Sirens’ ship, The Song, located in Sirens’ Cove.

Included in TI’s extravagant offerings is the visually stunning Mystère, now in its second decade of highly acclaimed performances. Topping it all off, TI is conveniently located, offering a tram to the neighboring Mirage and a pedestrian bridge across Spring Mountain to the Fashion Show Mall.

With the wealth of riches at TI, it's no wonder that once you've set sail with this crew, you will never want to return to port again.

At just more than 47 acres with a 125,000-square-foot casino, elbow room is plentiful at Texas. A wide variety of gaming -- more than 2,450 slots, 37 table games, a poker room, 500 seat bingo hall and live keno -- makes Texas Station ideal for those looking to challenge lady luck.

International recording star Bertie Higgins brings his island paradise sounds to the club from 7 to 9:30 p.m., while Anthem provides a blast from the past with its '70's inspired music from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. The Dallas Events Center, meanwhile, hosts big-name entertainment.

Terrible's Casino

2008-12-28T09:44:00.000-08:00

Terrible's Casino Description

It's close to the Strip and hot destinations like the Hard Rock Hotel, but Terrible's spacious, well-lit and comfortable hotel-casino is all about the local action.

And it's not terrible. In fact, Terrible's Hotel-Casino is one of the friendliest establishments in Las Vegas that caters almost exclusively to locals. The name is a kind of local legacy -- the hotel is owned by the Herbst family, which owns and operates the Terrible Herbst gas stations. And like those roadside stalwarts, Terrible's puts service first.

The casino is smaller than many of its Strip counterparts but is spacious and absolutely loaded with amenities. Terrible's boasts a sports book, table games, cafe, buffet, a bingo room and 945 slot machines featuring the requisite modern casino ticket-in-ticket-out system, saving you the drudge of lugging around a bucket of coins.

For the gourmet, Terrible's features the 24-hour Bougainvillea Cafe, specializing in steaks, seafood and an exclusive Chinese menu and breakfast available anytime. Terrible's Buffet offers nightly specials. Terrible's is also located on "restaurant row," within walking distance of P.F. Chang's, Buca di Beppo, Morton's steak house, Hamada's, Roy's, Gordon Biersch Brewery and Lawry's The Prime Rib. There is also a lounge and a sports bar.

Perhaps the quirkiest feature of Terrible's is the bank of video poker machines that offers players a chance to win gas at a Terrible Herbst station. Terrible's may be a locally oriented joint, but it's worth a visit just for the gas machines. Who else offers you a chance to win a full tank for your trip home?

Sunset Station

2008-12-28T09:37:00.000-08:00

Sunset Station Description

One of Vegas' classiest "neighborhood" casinos, Sunset Station is decorated with Mediterranean flair. A lounge hosts top entertainment, and the hotel also has a 13-screen movie theater and a 72 lane bowling center.

Sunset Station is an absolute must-see, and travelers need only drive 20 minutes from the Strip to do so. Housed inside a group of handsome Spanish-themed structures, Sunset's devotion to detail and aesthetic goes beyond the pale. The color and charm of Spain reaches into every aspect of the property. Its 80,000-square-foot casino, rich with Mediterranean accents, is one of the most attractive in Vegas.

While Sunset Station is not on the Strip, there's something for everyone to do. Several full-service restaurants -- including the elegant, intimate Sonoma Cellar Steakhouse and Costa del Sol, a seafood restaurant complete with an oyster bar -- serve cuisine as tasteful as the decor. A 300-seat lounge hosts top-name musical entertainment regularly. And the center lounge, the Gaudi Bar, is a feast for the eyes -- an homage to the eccentric vision of Barcelona architect Antonio Gaudí. The 13-screen movie theater boasts digital sounds and giant screens and a state-of-the-art bowling center is perfect for all ages.

As bright as a spring day with its colorful, lifelike sky ceiling, Sunset Station is a fine place to gamble, eat, drink or simply marvel at Sin City's limitless imagination.

Stratosphere Las Vegas

2008-12-28T09:34:00.000-08:00

Stratosphere Description

At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest observation tower in the United States. The view from the 109th-floor deck is truly spectacular, and the rides on top are hair-raising.

Its uppermost spire is visible from nearly anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley. Some even choose to climb on board the Big Shot at floor 113 and fly an additional 160 feet into the heavens on a burst of compressed air, while others prefer to gaze upon Las Vegas' radiance from the quiet elegance of the 107th-floor lounge. And yet, the excitement of the Stratosphere Hotel doesn't end at those giddy heights.

The Stratosphere's casino is nearly as impressive an entity as the tower. At 80,000 square feet, it's one of the biggest gaming floors downtown. A couple shows rock the Broadway Showroom -- the dynamic American Superstars rock 'n' roll tribute show at night, featuring the American Superstar Dancers and brilliant impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Tim McGraw, Madonna; and the topless production Bite, featuring female vampires.

A world of dining experiences satisfies every appetite.The continental pleasures of Top of the World are served with breathtaking 360 degree views of Las Vegas. You also don't want to miss the sock hop atmosphere of Roxy's Diner or the charm and taste of Old World Italy at Fellini's at Stratosphere.

After dinner try one of the drink specials at the C Bar or put on your dancing shoes and hit the dance floor at Polly Esther's nightclub.

While the tower may be the first thing to impress visitors, once they've sampled the Stratosphere's many other rich pleasures, they could conceivably forget it's even there. The high life, indeed.

Silverton

2008-12-28T09:29:00.000-08:00

Silverton Description

Reminiscent of a rustic mountain lodge and situated just off the Strip, the Silverton Casino Lodge offers something for everyone, including affordable rooms, a gigantic Bass Pro Shops, a top-notch steak house and a huge saltwater aquarium.

Decorated in earth tones and accented by amber-tinged lighting, stone and wood, the hotel has become a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Fresh on the tail of a $160 million expansion, it has even been described by some guests as a big living room.

Silverton President Craig Cavileer said the property is filled with touches of home. From the critically acclaimed steakhouse Twin Creeks to the climate controlled valet in the parking garage, "there is nothing quite like the Silverton, south of the 215," said Cavileer."It's different here. The ambience and feel is more comfortable than most hotels."

In addition to more than 30 table games, the 90,000-square-foot casino boasts a brand new high limit table salon with three table games, a lounge and a private restroom. The quaint five-table, smoke free poker room is also brand new. Many of the more than 2,000 slots feature the latest in technology with LED screens that stream player-specific messages.

Guests at the Silverton will also enjoy the 165,00-square-foot outdoor enthusiast's paradise, the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. The first Bass Pro Shops in the West, the store offers everything from hunting supplies to boats, fishing lures and golf gear. The store also offers an archery range, rock-climbing wall, two pistol and rifle ranges and a huge aquarium filled with fish to practice your casting skills.

Not far from the shop, the hotel has its own own aquatic wonderland, with a 117,000-gallon saltwater tank that houses more than 5,000 tropical fish and an occasional mermaid.

Silverton features a wide selection of live entertainment at a newly constructed 13,000 square-foot pavilion, located between the Silverton and Blue Diamond Road. The property's new $2.5 million center bar, Light Bar, will be opening soon and will feature 240 color-changing chandeliers.

Whether relaxing with a drink in the cozy Shady Grove Lounge or dining among tree branches and landscape images on TVs at the Sundance Grill, guests are sure to feel cozy and welcome at the Silverton.

Signature at MGM Grand

Signature at MGM Grand Description

Three unique towers. Two adjoining properties. One commitment to first-class service.

At The Signature at MGM Grand, the possibilities are limitless. Guests stay in a relaxing, upscale retreat with complete access to the numerous amenities of the MGM Grand.

Located on a beautifully landscaped private property adjacent to the MGM Grand, The Signature is a secluded, elegant enclave just a few steps away from the Las Vegas Strip. Each of the three gleaming towers in this gated resort has its own exclusive valet, entrance, lobby and check-in as well as a full service 24-hour concierge.

A high level of service is noticeable from the minute a guest pulls up to any of the three towers, and lasts throughout their departure. The parking attendants are quick to offer bottled water while doormen welcome guests into one of three distinctively decorated lobbies with a smile.

The non-smoking boutique property offers a variety of luxurious one-bedroom, two-bedroom and junior suites, many with balconies that feature views of either the Strip or the surrounding mountains. Guests enjoy all the qualities of the finest hotels including deluxe king beds, marble and granite bathrooms with Jacuzzi-brand whirlpool tubs and bath products from June Jacobs, high-end kitchenette appliances from Sub-Zero and Miele, ultra-thin LCD flat-screen high definition TVs, Wi-Fi internet access, in-room massages (for a fee), newspaper delivery and more.

Both Tower 1 and 3 offer a state-of-the-art fitness center, while all three have heated outdoor pools. Meeting space is located off the pool area of Tower 2, and a gift shop and ATM are available in Tower 1. All three towers, as well as the MGM Grand, are accessible via indoor walkways.

Those who want to dine on the property will find a delicatessen, Delights, in The Signature at MGM Tower 2. At the entrance to Tower 1, The Lounge is the perfect place to unwind with a nightcap, while Starbucks Coffee Shop will help guests start their day with a much-needed burst of energy. An elaborate, gourmet menu is available 24 hours daily for those who want to dine in-suite.

With the additional dining, nightlife and entertainment options just a short, one-minute walk away at the neighboring MGM Grand, a stay at The Signature really offers the best of both worlds: luxury living and the "Maximum Vegas" action of a world-class hotel. It’s an escape that doesn’t feel like Las Vegas, except when you want it to.

Sams Town

2008-12-28T09:20:00.000-08:00

Sams Town Description

Sam's Town, located on the corner of Boulder Highway and Flamingo Avenue, six miles from the Strip, features rooms built around a spectacular indoor atrium. A water-and-laser show dazzles spectators nightly.

Taking what was a calculated risk for 1979, father and son Sam and Bill Boyd opened Sam's Town. Their goal was to create an environment where locals would feel comfortable playing. More than two decades in business, Sam's Town has become an indispensable stop for locals and visitors alike.

Rooms are built around a truly spectacular indoor atrium that must be seen to be believed. With a nine-story glass roof and a 25,000-square-foot indoor park filled with live trees, waterfalls and footpaths, it is one of Las Vegas' most rare of surprises. The restaurants here are among the town's most popular. Willy and Jose's Cantina serves regional dishes with spirit, while the extensive menu of Billy Bob's Steak House & Saloon is as delicious as they come. A water-and-laser show dazzles crowds nightly. Dozens of other amenities -- including 56 lanes of bowling, 18-screen movie theater and Sam's Town Live! entertainment complex -- serve only to compliment what is still one of the most popular locals casinos, with three separate floors of round-the-clock gaming action.

It may not be on the Strip or in the heart of Glitter Gulch, but Sam's Town is still every bit the quintessential Las Vegas experience. Missing this hotel/casino is to miss the frontier spirit that built this metropolis from the dust in the first place.

Sahara Las Vegas

2008-12-28T09:17:00.000-08:00

Sahara Description

The Moroccan palace rising from the desert on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip is not a mirage, but the historic Sahara Hotel & Casino, offering a variety of restaurants, outstanding entertainment and a plethora of affordable rooms.

The Sahara, recognizable by its tall, colorful towers, which were featured prominently in the classic film "Ocean's 11," is evidence that some things do get better with age.

Once a gathering spot for legends like the Rat Pack and Jack Benny, the Sahara continues to attract celebrities, including NASCAR greats like Kyle and Richard Petty. Bar names such as "Abracadabra" and "The Thirsty Camel" emphasize the hotel's Moroccan theme, but old pictures of Liberace and the Beatles remind you that classic Vegas is alive and well at the Sahara.

The casino at the Sahara is packed with action. A '60s party pit with its Penny Lane slot machines and Burn Your Bra bra provides a blast from the past, while the non-smoking 16-table poker room provides a nod to the contemporary. Slot machines range from pennies to $5, table games include craps, blackjack, war and Texas-Hold-Em, and the Race & Sports Book features kiosks allowing gamblers to place bets 24 hours a day.

The restaurants at the Sahara provide something for every appetite. Indulge in the dining delights of the gourmet steak house House of Lords, Paco's Bar & Grill or the Sahara Buffet. The mammoth NASCAR Cafe offers not only great food but also a museum-like setting for car-racing fanatics. Several bars and lounges, including the venerable Casbar Lounge, provide an oasis for the tired gambler.

Those with a need for speed, beyond the rush of a winning jackpot, can put the pedal to the metal at the Las Vegas Cyber Speedway, which puts you behind the wheel of an Indy race car in a stunning virtual-reality sprint.

Over the years, the Sahara has historically hosted some of the hottest entertainment acts, and the tradition continues today with an array of performers taking to the stage of the Congo Room.

The property houses 1,720 rooms, providing maximum comfort at comfortable prices, and 5,000-square-foot pool that follows the same Afro-Mediterranean theme as the hotel -- complete with cabanas and palm trees. An entrance to the Las Vegas Monorail from inside the Sahara allows guests easy access to seven stations, running between the Sahara and the MGM Grand Hotel.

More than half a century after first opening its doors, the Sahara still provides refuge, relief and relaxation like a true Vegas oasis.

Riviera Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:57:00.000-08:00

Riviera Description

With its star-lit glass exterior, you can't miss the Riviera as you drive down the Strip. Its location at the north end of Las Vegas Boulevard, bridging the classic style of downtown Vegas with the modern-day mega resorts further south, confirms the symbolic standing of this resort as a place where the past meets the present.

Entertainment is the Riviera's last name, and a large selection of dining destinations, gambling options and other amenities make it the place to be for a real Vegas experience.

Celebrating 50 years of non-stop entertainment, the Riviera is one of the reasons why Las Vegas has been dubbed "The Entertainment Capital Of The World." Over the years, the hotel has played host to hundreds of legendary performers and dozens of film and television productions, including two of the ultimate Vegas films: the 1961 classic "Ocean's 11" and Martin Scorsese's "Casino." Today, the Riviera still offers top-notch shows, each one with its own unique character. Crazy Girls is Las Vegas' sexiest topless revue and the Riviera Comedy Club brings nationally known comics to the stage every night. An Evening At La Cage features classic drag-queen burlesque and host Frank Marino as Joan Rivers, while A Neil Diamond Tribute Starring Jay White draws music fans in droves.

Dining is well covered by a wide range of dining rooms, from the seafood and prime steaks at Kristofer's to the Champagne Brunch at the World's Fare Buffet. The Riviera's 100,000-square-foot casino floor continues to be one of Vegas' most active, with gambling options that include the popular Penny Town -- an area full of penny slot machines for the budget-conscious gambler looking for a fun time.

Other amenities include a spa (the Executive Fitness at the Riviera), a wedding chapel and a fun-filled arcade area for younger visitors.

Rio Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:55:00.000-08:00

Rio Description

A 24-hour party atmosphere reverberates through the vibrant red, purple and blue neon towers of the Rio Las Vegas, where large suites, ample entertainment and popular dining combine for the ultimate off-Strip experience.

Whether watching a cast of "bevertainers" serve up Brazilian-inspired drinks with a smile or enjoying the exciting Show in the Sky, the Rio exemplifies high-energy fun. The vibrant 100,000-square-foot casino floor features more than 1,200 slots, all the favorite table games, poker room, race and sports book and keno lounge.

Although you may be here to party, the staff at the Rio takes customer service very seriously, and the hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction has earned national praise. Its suite-sized rooms are among the largest in town, with amenities ranging from a refrigerator to an in-room safe.

Meals at the Rio are as exciting and rich as the colorful surroundings. Búzios, named for a small, picturesque fishing village in Brazil, offers the freshest seafood dishes. One of the most popular buffets in Las Vegas – the Carnival World Buffet – delivers on its name, offering delicious fare of just about every ethnicity. Barbecue fans will quickly fall for the slow cooking at Rub. Dueling pianos and Guinness accompany the traditional Irish and pub fare at McFadden's.

No Vegas vacation would be complete without a wedding, but instead of tying the knot yourself, why not crash Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding? You might even catch the bouquet! For a more hands-off approach to entertainment, take in the sleight of hand of magical duo Penn & Teller. Ladies will find it hard to keep their hands to themselves when the well-greased male dancers of Chippendales rip off one tank top after another.

The all-male wait staff at Flirt Lounge, located just off the Chippendales Theater, keeps the "Ultimate Girls Night" experience going strong with its full menu of exotic concoctions. Both men and women enjoy amazing views of Las Vegas from the VooDoo Lounge, located 51 stories above the Strip

The Rio's pool area, which includes a sandy beach, looks and feels like a tropical paradise and the Rio Spa will soothe your senses after a long night of dancing to Latin rhythms. The Rio also offers more than 60,000 square feet of shopping.

So get in the Carnaval spirit and head to the Rio Las Vegas. Like its namesake in South America, this is a true cidade maravilhosa – a marvelous city – in the middle of the desert.

Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:54:00.000-08:00

Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa Description

Kayaking, mountain biking and horseback riding are not the typical activities one associates with a trip to Las Vegas. Then again, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa is not the typical Las Vegas hotel.

Just minutes from the dramatic red cliffs of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, as well as the exciting action of the Las Vegas Strip, no other resort in Las Vegas capitalizes on its location quite like Red Rock. Along with all the amenities of a highly-rated hotel and casino, this contemporary desert retreat also offers an Adventure Spa program with outdoor activities including river rafting and guided hikes.

"We take advantage of the natural beauty of Red Rock," said Ronan O'Gorman, the resort's vice president and general manager. "You can't be in a guest room or within the property and not understand and feel Red Rock's presence visually right next to you."

Opened in April 2006 by Station Casinos, Inc., Red Rock is a high-end, boutique-style property, similar to its sister property, Green Valley Ranch. From its flowing design and unique architecture to its flawless incorporation of state-of-the-art technology, the 2008 AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort rivals many of the major resorts on the Strip, while also maintaining its local appeal.

"We have all the amenities of a Station Casino, but in a luxury setting," said O'Gorman. "Our out-of-town guests are people who have traveled to Las Vegas many, many times. They've been there, they've done that. They want something completely different."

LCD screens scattered throughout Red Rock display ads and restaurant menus, while modern light fixtures brighten the 87,000-square-foot casino floor. Tiled pathways surrounding the gaming areas provide a clear cut route to the many hot spots within this red-hot spot.

The design also reflects the natural beauty of the area, incorporating materials like marble, onyx, wood, red patent crocodile leather and red sandstone indigenous to Red Rock Canyon. There are more than 3.1 million Swarovski and Preciosa crystals (measuring 99 miles) throughout the resort.

The property features more than 800 guest rooms and suites, as well as seven penthouse-level suites. Even the standard guest room at Red Rock is anything but -- O'Gorman goes as far to say that they "are probably some of the best rooms, if not the best rooms, in all of Las Vegas."

Every room boasts breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows, either of the Las Vegas Strip or of Red Rock Canyon. Luxury linens, two flat screen televisions, wireless internet access and an iPod docking station are among the conveniences available to guests, while the marble bathrooms include both a deep soaking tub and a separate shower.

Red Rock's separate resort entrance allows those staying at the hotel to avoid dragging their suitcases through the busy casino. Tinted red glass doors add a glamorous hue to the lobby, where there's a 32-foot-long crystal chandelier.

The centerpiece of the property is the 3-acre pool complex, which was designed like a theater-in-the-round. Its central location allows for balcony views from several of the property's restaurants, Cherry Nightclub and even the convention space.

Along with the nightclub, guests can also grab a drink at Onyx or Lucky bars and listen to live music in Rocks Lounge. Dining spans the globe with more than 10 restaurants, including the Italian food of Terra Rossa, the Japanese fusion of Hachi, the Mexican spices at Cabo Cantina or a bit of everything at the Feast Buffet.

Red Rock is also family friendly, with several options for young tourists such as a 16-screen movie theater and an arcade. The 72-lane bowling center, Red Rock Lanes, features state-of-the-art equipment and a contemporary design, including a special VIP area and carpet that glows in the dark when it's time for Cosmic Bowling.

For those who want a little rest and relaxation, take an intimate retreat with a body treatment at The Spa at Red Rock. The spa offers a full-service salon, fitness center, lap pool, movement studio and boxing rings, as well as the adventure spa program.

"It's a sophisticated property for those discriminating guests who want something a little bit different, but still want everything Las Vegas has to offer," said O'Gorman. "At Red Rock we attempt to be everything for everybody."

Platinum Hotel and Spa Description

The Platinum Hotel and Spa offers luxury, all-suite accommodations and unparalleled service in a sophisticated and swanky, yet friendly atmosphere, less than two blocks from the Las Vegas Strip.

The non-gaming, non-smoking Platinum is like an oasis in the desert, removed from the hectic pace and party vibe of the Strip. But with views like these, you'll feel like you're right on top of all the action.

The residential-style suites at Platinum are extremely spacious, measuring between 900 and 2,165 square feet and include first-rate amenities, such as a gourmet kitchen, living room with sleeper sofa, sound systems, large closets and a whirlpool tub. Most rooms offer stunning views from private balconies.

The convenience of Platinum starts before even entering the building, with an all-valet parking setup eliminating the hassle of finding a parking spot. A full-service concierge is located in the lobby, and available to guests day and night.

For a unique dining experience, one need not ever leave the Platinum. The contemporary, casual meal takes on a non-conventional twist at The Restaurant at Platinum, located on the hotel's fifth floor. The restaurant serves "edgy American" cuisine by celebrated chef Brent Hammer and includes an adjoining lounge and pool deck area with outdoor fire pits and cabanas. On weekend evenings, plasma screens and speakers rock the latest movies, music videos and live concerts.

The pool itself flows both indoors and outdoors, with seating for sunbathers in both areas. One floor down, Well Spa provides relaxing body treatments in a quaint ambience, along with nail, waxing and make-up services.

A quick elevator ride up to the 17th floor reveals a private dining area, named Misora, offering breathtaking views of the city from a rooftop, open-air terrace. Back on the first floor, STIR, a cocktail and social lounge, provides light fare and contemporary cocktails.

Platinum adds a touch of elegance and charm to any Las Vegas vacation. It's easy to relax or take care of business, and it's also only a short walk some of the city's finest dining, shopping, attractions and casinos, as well as the Las Vegas Monorail and the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Planet Hollywood Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:48:00.000-08:00

Planet Hollywood Description

Shining in the spotlight of the Las Vegas Strip, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino boasts gourmet restaurants, world-class shopping and dazzling entertainment that has hotel-casino patrons cheering for an encore.

Like the plot of a motion picture, this classic Las Vegas casino – where Elvis and Priscilla Presley were married – once rose from the dead: It was imploded in 1998 and then rebuilt from the ground up. As for its most recent dazzling special effect, the Aladdin lifted the curtain to Hollywood in Sin City when it was reborn as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Since Planet Hollywood's arrival, the property has made a metamorphosis from its lackluster Arabian-theme into a high-tech, retro-chic attraction unlike any other Strip property.

Though infused with a taste of Hollywood culture, the vibe at Planet Hollywood is intended to be welcoming and unpretentious. Who knows, you might even find yourself sitting down to play blackjack next to Jack Black.

The hotel's movie theme is played out in the rooms through film memorabilia displayed in custom-designed cabinetry. The glamorous 12,800-square-foot lobby at Planet Hollywood has eight chandeliers, each comprised of 66,000 individually hand-strung crystals. Black granite floors, textured glass walls and large columns beckon guests to the check-in desk, where bands of LED lights continuously change color.

The 100,000-square-foot casino appears to be in constant motion with glowing rectangular light fixtures, which change colors from red to blue to green to purple. Tall pillars with either geometric patterns or stripes reach from the floor to the ceiling, and neon LED lights brighten the walls. More than 250 flat screen televisions can be found topping slot machines, while 87 table games await those ready to try their luck. Additional gaming options, include a race and sports book and a poker room.

For a bite to eat, head to the Spice Market Buffet or choose from the large menu at the 24-hour coffee shop Planet Dailies. Upstairs on the mezzanine level, Strip House redefines the traditional steakhouse with an innovative menu in a sexy, vintage atmosphere, while KOI, a well-recognized L.A. restaurant and lounge, combines the exotic Far Eastern aura with the energy and style of Hollywood. On the casino level, the first Las Vegas outpost of Earl of Sandwich makes sandwich eating a gourmet treat and the festive cantina Yolos provides a modern tribute to Mexican culture.

Planet Hollywood's Strip entrance is no longer the maze of confusion from the days of the Aladdin. The vegetation is gone and the entrances are clearly marked with escalators or stairs leading people off the Strip and into the property. Music plays at the doorways while color-changing orbs decorate the front of the hotel. There is also a clear entrance to the attached Miracle Mile Shops, which is owned separately from the hotel. The mammoth mall has more than 140 stores and dozen restaurants – like Urban Outfitters, Build-A-Bear Workshop, GAP Body, BCBG Max Azaria, bebe and The Discovery Channel Store – incorporating something for every discerning taste.

As expected in Hollywood, Planet Hollywood is packed with high caliber entertainment. Upstairs, a brand new 1,500-seat showroom is home to the energetic production Stomp Out Loud. With a state-of the art movie screening system, the showroom is also used for premiering major motion pictures. Planet Hollywood is also home to one of the best concert venues in Las Vegas, the Theatre for the Performing Arts at Planet Hollywood. Inside the Miracle Mile Shops are the V Theater and the Steve Wyrick Entertainment complex.

Center stage in the casino of Planet Hollywood is a circular hot spot called the Heart Bar, a place to hang out with the beautiful people while sipping on drinks served by cocktail waitresses in black leather go-go attire. Guests can grab their 15 minutes of fame at the Extra Lounge, the new Las Vegas headquarters for the correspondents and crew of television’s “Extra.” Located near the hotel's front entrance, this 24-hour bar is the perfect spot to see who’s coming and going.

Those ready for a wild night of partying need to look no further than the Opium group's Privé Las Vegas. Triq Nightclub and Ultra Lounge is located in the Miracle Mile Shops, while Krave nightclub is located adjacent to the shops.

For a tranquil retreat from the flurry of shoppers, concert goers and gamblers, the Planet Hollywood Spa by Mandara offers relaxing body therapies from around the world, as well as saunas and steam rooms. With such superior treatment, you will truly feel like a movie star.

Paris Las Vegas Description

Escape from the neon lights of Las Vegas and enter into the City of Light at Paris Las Vegas, where guests are transported off the Strip and into France’s romantic capital city. Dining, entertainment, service, nightlife and accommodations at this hotel-casino are très magnifique.

Paris Las Vegas captures all the intricate details of Paris, right down to the cobblestone sidewalks and half-scale replicas of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. The building facades surrounding the casino are modeled after those of actual French neighborhoods, including the occasional “for sale” sign in the window.

French wrought iron street lamps dot the 85,000-square-foot casino floor while the 40-foot ceiling is painted to resemble the sky. The legs of the 50-story Eiffel Tower sprawl out into the center of the more than 100 gaming tables, 2,200 gaming machines, high limit slots, high limit table game area, poker room and race and sports book. A half-scale replica of Le Pont Alexandre III overlooks all the casino action while providing the gateway to the Eiffel Tower elevators.

Those who are not afraid of heights won’t want to miss the chance to ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower and enjoy panoramic views of the city. Halfway to the top, the world-class Eiffel Tower Restaurant combines fine French cuisine with a hint of romance. Mon Ami Gabi and Les Artistes Steakhouse offer their own charm down on the casino level.

Guests will forget the casino is close by as they stroll past bubbling fountains and down the winding alleyways of Le Boulevard, filled with charming boutiques and restaurants that resemble Parisian cafes. Le Provencal offers nourishment for the stomach and the soul, with its Italian food and singing waiters and waitresses. The adjacent Le Crêperie cooks up entrée and desert crêpes while Le Village Buffet offers classic French foods in a village atmosphere.

Looking for some luck – or a way to spend your winnings? Visit Le Burger Brasserie and order their signature dish, a $777 Kobe beef and Maine lobster burger. Topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie, crispy prosciutto and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar, the burger is served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon champagne.

Guest rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, offering dual-line phones, data ports, full-length mirrors, marble bathrooms and more. Let go of that last bit of stress at Mandara Spa or catch some rays at the pool. Those who always dreamt of a Paris wedding will want to visit the hotel’s chapels, Chapelle du Paradis or Chapelle du Jardin.

The City of Light doesn’t go dull after dark. With the hypnotic fun of Anthony Cools, there’s plenty of entertainment to experience at Paris Las Vegas. Take in amazing views of the Strip from the balconies at Risqué ultra lounge, live music at Le Cabaret show lounge or smoke a cigar in style at Napoleon’s.

Paris Las Vegas also caters to the business customer, with 140,000 square feet of convention space as well as a business center.

From ghostbar on the 55th floor to Rain Las Vegas just off the casino, the Palms is the hotel for the MTV generation. So much so that the 12th season of MTV's "The Real World" was shot at the resort, and now hotel guests can stay in the 2,900-square-foot suite created for the show's cast.

The Palms parlayed its role as the home of "The Real World" into permanent status as the Vegas playground for music celebrities and Hollywood stars. The resort is now the home of Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown," specialty suites offer extra-large furniture for the hotels many NBA guests and the two luxury Playpen suites (complete with stripper poles) attract not only bachelor and bachelorette parties but also A-list celebrities.

Its open-air deck offers amazing 180-degree views of the Vegas Strip. Fifty-five stories below, the 1,500-seat, state-of-the-art nightclub and showroom venue Rain Las Vegas has a line of fun-loving partygoers every weekend. A significant player in Las Vegas' music world, Palms is also home to The Pearl concert venue as well as The Studio, where major artists flock to record their newest hits. The resort's Playboy Club and Moon nightclub complete the party circuit and make the Palms the place to be seen in Las Vegas.

The resort's dining options are equally extraordinary, from Alizé, where diners can enjoy floor-to-ceiling views as well as gourmet meals, to Little Buddha, with its crimson, gold and celadon decorations and giant Buddha statue.

If you're looking to relax, the Palms features a 20,000-square-foot spa boasting numerous services. Outside, the pool provides a welcome reprieve from the Vegas heat with multiple pools, including two designed just for shallow lounging.

Palazzo Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:44:00.000-08:00

Palazzo Description

With first-class accommodations, Broadway-caliber entertainment and a slew of acclaimed chefs, Palazzo Las Vegas is the perfect respite for those seeking a taste of the finer things in life. From a three-story Barney’s New York to the Strip’s only Lamborghini dealership and showroom, the Palazzo not only strives to reach new heights, but succeeds.

Combined with its neighboring Venetian and Sands Expo and Convention Center, Palazzo is the largest hotel and convention complex in the world. The two hotels are connected by the multilevel The Shoppes at the Palazzo, an elegant galleria with more than 60 stores, flowing water features and skylights, (including a glass and decorative iron dome), and the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian. Amenities at Palazzo and Venetian are interchangeable, and together the properties boast the most James Beard award-winning restaurants under one roof.

A cathedral ceiling majestically tops the 105,000-square-foot casino, while a second 80-foot dome floods the lobby with natural light. With almost 2,000 slot macines and 80 table games, the casino itself lacks the stale smell of cigarette smoke typically found in many Las Vegas casinos. As a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified property, smoking is off limits for the majority of the Palazzo – including 50 percent of the casino floor.

More than 3,000 all-suite rooms start at 740 square feet and are decorated with a modern, Italian style. The rooms provide all the comforts of home along with the luxuries of a high-class hotel, and include sunken living rooms, remote controlled draperies and Agraria bath products in the bathroom.

For only $100, guests at the Palazzo can upgrade to the Concierge Level, allowing them access to a private lounge with a business center, several TVs and a beautiful view of the Strip.

Dining is inarguably second to none with restaurants like Celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck's CUT and Chef Charlie Trotter's Restaurant Charlie, featuring an exclusive chef's table. Chef Simon To serves up delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine at Zine while the Carnaval-inspired Sushi Samba unites Brazilian flavors, Peruvian tastes and Japanese technique. Adjacent to Sushi Samba is its sister locale, Sugarcane, a vibrant boutique nightclub featuring interactive entertainment.

Another mecca for nightlife and dining is the Mediterranean-inspired LAVO, a two-story venue with a restaurant downstairs and a nightclub upstairs, where guests can smoke out of a hookah while lounging on fluffy pillows.

For a more casual meal, The Sportsbook Bar & Grill serves up bar food and includes Strip-side patio seating and its own gaming lounge. Guests can also enjoy light fare at Wolfgang Puck’s Solaro restaurant at the hotel’s 4-acre pool complex on the hotel’s third level. Also on the pool level at the entrance to the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, the Canyon Ranch Grill offers healthy options as well as a menu of organic liquor.

Palazzo is also the West Coast home to the harmonious musical hit Jersey Boys in the Palazzo Theater.

Those seeking sophistication and elegance on their Vegas vacation will it at the Palazzo Las Vegas. The property is a showcase for all the best Las Vegas has to offer.

Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino

2008-12-27T10:37:00.000-08:00

Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino Description

The Monte Carlo exemplifies a solid fusion of European refinement, American dazzle and true Vegas hospitality.

From the moment one catches sight of the entrance -- remarkable in itself, with its Renaissance statues and cascading fountains -- the Monte Carlo evokes an elegance unique not only to Vegas but also to the world.

The amenities here reflect both sides of the Atlantic. The 90,000-square-foot Monte Carlo casino offers a broad range of gaming, from roulette to high-stakes baccarat. Dining runs the gamut from the exotic Asian pleasures of the Dragon Noodle Co. to the fine dining of Andre's. Also, the rollicking Monte Carlo Pub & Brewery, which features big copper-colored brewing tanks behind a glass wall, has six fresh brews to gratify the palate.

Rooms are tastefully accented with brass fixtures, Italian marble and polished granite. The Monte Carlo Beach Club, which boasts a lazy river, cools visitors and is situated in a lush garden setting. World Champion Magician Lance Burton will be dazzling audiences with his spectacular illusions in his namesake showroom until the year 2009. Burton also has a magic shop so you can take the fun home.

It comes as no surprise that former Mirage Resorts CEO Steve Wynn described the Monte Carlo as "popular elegance," coining a phrase to sum up the Monte Carlo's effortless blend of sensibilities. With a resort this fresh and exciting, one can expect all varieties of invention and be satisfied.

Mirage Description

You may not believe your eyes upon encountering a tropical oasis in the desert, but this hotel is no mirage – it's The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. Timeless beauty, tropical surroundings and exceptional service make The Mirage one of the most beloved hotels in the city.

Upon entering the legendary property, visitors hear the soothing sounds of waterfalls, smell the exotic flora and can stand on a bridge under the 90-foot-high glass atrium while taking in the tropical surroundings. You are in the Mirage, but it feels like Bali.

In the lobby, guests waiting to check in are entertained by the aquatic life in a 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium behind the front desk. Nearly 1,000 marine life forms, including sharks, stingrays, porcupine fish, eels, sea bass and puffer fish call this aquarium home. A full-service concierge at the back of the lobby provides help to anyone seeking it, not just hotel guests.

The hotel rooms are nicely appointed, while the beautifully landscaped pool area is the ideal place to spend afternoons. In the warmer months, guests can enjoy VIP service and topless sunbathing at the secluded pool club Bare. Nearby, the majestic wildcats and playful bottlenose dolphins in Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat feel right at home in their tropical environment.

True to its history as a pioneer in the gaming and hospitality industry, the Mirage casino is large, easy to navigate and home to thousands of slot machines, dozens of table games, an enormous race and sports book and one of the city's popular poker rooms. Contemporary glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly decorate the exclusive Baccarat Lounge and adjacent high limit lounge.

Numerous restaurants -- including the delightful Carnegie Deli,the innovative Cravings, high-end FIN and the spirited Samba Brazilian Steakhouse – await hungry patrons. The Mirage spa provides relaxing body treatments, while the Kim Vo Salon and barbershop provides high-quality treatments for the tresses.

Entertainment is second-to-none at the Mirage. Cirque du Soleil's magical The Beatles LOVE causes quite a revolution inside its custom-built theater.

After the show, the Revolution Lounge and adjoining Abbey Road bar keep The Beatles vibe going strong. The nightclub experience is in full force at JET, which appeals to a wide crowd with its three distinctive rooms, featuring different music and atmospheres.

Rounding out the experience is plenty of shopping and more than 90,000 square feet of convention space. Guests can also easily hop on an air-conditioned tram for a free ride to the neighboring Treasure Island.

With its many offerings, The Mirage sets a high standard for itself and for every other luxury hotel in Vegas.

MGM Grand Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:32:00.000-08:00

MGM Grand Description

The MGM Grand truly lives up to its name, not only in sheer size, but also in its vast offerings. Located at one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas, MGM Grand provides a world of entertainment, dining and unwinding – both day and night.

The grandness starts outside, with the 100,000-pound, 45-foot-tall bronze lion statue perched atop a 25-foot pedestal where the $1 billion resort meets the Strip. LED screens, water fountains and lush landscaping surround the lion – the largest bronze statue in the U.S.

The adventure continues inside, where guests will find 5,044 rooms in four 30-story towers, more than a dozen restaurants and more than 170,000 square feet of gaming. There is even the convenience of tourist attractions on site, including a zoo (Lion Habitat), a television studio (CBS Television City Research Center) and a water park (1,000 foot long lazy river at the 27,000-square-foot pool complex).

Accommodations are as varied as the rest of the property’s offerings, ranging in size and price. Tower and Bungalow rooms are spacious with modern designs and amenities, while the Celebrity Spa Suites include whirlpool tubs and an oversized bedroom. With its own outside entrance for easy access from the Strip, The West Wing includes rooms with high-end amenities such as flat screen televisions, DVD players and Bose Wave radios.

On the top two floors of the MGM Grand, an exclusive hotel within a hotel, the Skylofts, caters to sophisticated travelers, with service tailored to their specific needs and 24-hour butler service. Adjacent to the MGM Grand is the Signature all-suite tower, a non-smoking, boutique property, accessible from the MGM Grand via an indoor walkway.

MGM Grand’s enormous casino entices players, with games including blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat and an array of slot and poker machines, as well as keno, a Baccarat lounge and high limit slots. The poker room is large and modern, while the race and sports book offers private sky boxes.

Whether it's steak and lobster at Craftsteak, the grilled delicacies at Michael Mina's Seablue or Italian cuisine at Fiamma Trattoria, you'll never go hungry at the MGM. Experience the traditions of different cities in Las Vegas – try Emeril's New Orleans Fish House or Nobhill, which serves classic San Francisco-style cuisine. Venture down the coast to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, for the tastes of Southern California.

Entertainment is also plentiful with several options in a variety of unique venues. MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris is performed in a theater designed as an exact replica of the famed Parisian cabaret. The Cirque du Soleil show KÀ takes place on a non-traditional stage that floats, rotates, twists and turns. A lineup of renowned performers come to the Hollywood Theater, while some of rock 'n' roll's greatest acts, from the Rolling Stones to U2, take the stage in The MGM Grand Garden Arena -- also home to many highly touted championship boxing events.

Legendary nightclub Studio 54 and chic ultra lounge, Tabú, lure the crowds at nighttime and well into the early morning hours. Keep the party going all day long at the pool club WET Republic or relax at The Grand Spa at The MGM, which offers several therapies in more than 20 Zen-inspired treatment rooms, far away from the chaos of the casino.

There aren’t many hotels with offerings so grand that it’s practically an entire vacation under one roof. With such a wide variety of things to do and see at the MGM Grand, don't be the least bit surprised if it takes more than one visit to experience it all.

Mandalay Bay Las Vegas

2008-12-27T10:30:00.000-08:00

Mandalay Bay Description

At Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, excess is the norm. Visitors can listen to some of music’s greatest artists, spot some of the world’s most dangerous predators and bodysurf some of the city’s largest waves without ever leaving the 60-acre property.

The AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort is practically dripping in nightlife, dining, entertainment, recreation and relaxation. The accommodations are modern and up to date, offering wireless internet and iPod docking stations in every room. The adjoining THEhotel complements the already-impressive property, offering a boutique hotel for guests looking for a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Hip and high-end, Mandalay Bay is a bustling, Polynesian paradise, accented by fountains, sculpture, marble and flora. Surrounding it is dining at its finest, from the proletariat Red Square (you can’t miss the life-sized Lenin statue, sans head) and futuristic China Grill to the elegant Fleur de Lys and stylish StripSteak.

The three-tiered nightclub rumjungle boasts go-go girls and a wall of fire while Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce showcases burlesque’s finest dancers. The dancers are off limits, but head over to Eyecandy Sound Lounge for a different kind of interactive experience (and don’t forget to bring your iPod).

In the Mandalay Bay Theatre, the Broadway and now big screen hit Mamma Mia! brings audiences of all ages to their feet – and beloved ABBA songs like “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me” set the tone for a little casino action. (Of course, at 135,000 square feet, Mandalay Bay’s casino is anything but little).

Whether you’re a fan of rock, reggae, rap, rockabilly, jazz or blues, the House of Blues has it all. The venue not only books musical legends, but also puts on a soulful Sunday Gospel Brunch, featuring great live music and a traditional Southern food buffet. The events center at Mandalay Bay meanwhile, provides a venue for sporting events and arena-sized musical acts, while the Shark Reef houses 100 species of marine animals, including jellyfish, crocodiles, turtles, stingrays and even a Komodo dragon.

Outside, the tropical landscaping offers an exotic retreat as Mandalay Beach gives you the chance to float down the lazy river, ride waves that can reach six feet high, gamble in a three-story beachfront casino or sunbathe topless (at the private Moorea Beach Club).

You'll think back on this Vegas vacation forever after heading over to Starlight Tattoo, where celebrity tattoo artist Mario Barth may be on hand to ink a permanent reminder on the body part of choice.

And there's still much, much more to see and do, including shopping at Mandalay Place, relaxing at Spa Mandalay or creating the ultimate Vegas cliche by tying the knot at THEwedding chapel.

Main Street Station

2008-12-27T10:29:00.000-08:00

Main Street Station Description

One of downtown Las Vegas' most brilliant treasures, the Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel is just steps from the Fremont Street Experience but years apart.

Filled almost to overflowing with antiques, rarities and memorabilia -- including Theodore Roosevelt's Pullman railroad car, a chandelier from Paris' renowned Figaro Opera House and a section of the Berlin Wall -- there's something here to impress nearly everyone, even before one samples the Main Street's terrific hospitality.

Without a doubt, the star attraction is the Triple 7 BrewPub. With oysters on the half shell, gourmet pizzas and an order of garlic herb french fries that simply can't be beat, there's plenty of great tastes to accompany one or more of the establishment's five rich specialty ales. For a more upscale dining experience, the Pullman Grille serves fresh seafood, chicken and Black Angus beef, with a cigar and martini bar located inside a rail car that once belonged to author Louisa May Alcott. Afterward, one has a range of options available: enjoying the 28,500-square-foot casino, wandering over to Fremont Street for the spectacular light show or retiring to one of more than 400 luxurious, wood-accented rooms.

True to its name, Main Street Station is one of downtown's main attractions. Whether visiting or staying overnight, a lengthy stop here isn't only recommended but also unavoidable, and for the best possible reasons.
