Downtown Grand is located on Third Street between Stewart and Ogden avenues in downtown Las Vegas, just steps from The Mob Museum and two blocks from Fremont Street Experience as well as a short stroll from the hip bar scene in the Fremont East Entertainment District. The hotel is also less than a mile from shopping at the Las Vegas Premium Outlets – North and cultural events at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
Downtown Grand is comprised of two towers — the 17-story Casino Tower (east) and the 25-story Grand Tower (west), which are joined by an elevated walkway. Together, they house nearly 630 rooms and suites that range in size from 350 to 1,200 square feet. All of them provide sophisticated and stylish accommodations for downtown visitors. Guests will also enjoy flat-screen high-definition TVs with cable channels, Serta Presidential pillowtop mattresses, down pillows, alarm clocks, work desks and convenient standard and USB power outlets. The bathrooms are contemporary with either showers or combined shower/tubs as well as hair dryers and environmentally friendly amenities.
Among Downtown Grand’s dining offerings is a stylish bistro called the Freedom Beat. The Ninth Island, a shave ice and daiquiri bar from Hawaii, has also set up shop on this side of the Pacific Ocean.
Another inventive culinary concept at Downtown Grand is The Commissary, which features communal seating and an outdoor patio. Also open on a seasonal basis is The Pool Deck. In addition to an outdoor pool with a fire pit and cabanas, there is a bar, a lunch menu and park-like landscaping.
At night, you’ll find a lively scene in Downtown Grand’s casino bar Furnace or the Art Bar, which also serves small bites.
The 30,000-square-foot casino floor at Downtown Grand features an industrial chic décor and cool brick façade. It houses more than 600 state-of-the-art slot machines and 30 table games.
And that’s not all. Downtown Grand is at the heart of a much bigger neighborhood: the 10-acre, four-block district known as Downtown3rd, aka “dt³.” Downtown3rd aims to offer visitors and locals a pedestrian-friendly, entertainment-oriented experience. Presently, it consists of the cool drinking and dining joints Triple George Grill, Hogs & Heifers Saloon and Pizza Rock.
Offering some of the best dining experiences on Fremont Street Experience, the Fremont Hotel & Casino is one of downtown Vegas’ most beloved hotels.
The property has been one of the crowning gems of Fremont Street since 1956, when it became the first high-rise hotel in the area. Even after the hotel changed hands — Boyd Gaming bought it in 1985 — the devotion to quality and comfort has never lessened.
The 447 spacious, recently renovated guest rooms and suites — with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and wireless internet access (for a fee) — are comfortably removed from the round-the-clock excitement of the Fremont’s 32,000-square-foot casino. Several stellar restaurants also stand ready to serve, from the splendid Pacific Rim cuisine of the Second Street Grill to the playful tropical setting of the Paradise Buffet & Café. And popular beef rib purveyor Tony Roma’s packs in guests by the truckload. For a quick bite, there’s always the Lanai Express or Dunkin’ Donuts. Plus, cocktails are poured round the clock in the casino bar and sports bar.
There’s more to the Fremont, but you should discover those bonuses through repeat visits. Offering classic Vegas service and quality, the Fremont Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas impresses with wonderful dining, comfortable rooms and exciting gaming action.
According to the Travel Channel, the Best Western Plus Casino Royale on the Las Vegas Strip is one of the “best places in the world to strike it rich” – on par with the Kentucky Derby and the Monte-Carlo Casino in Monaco – due to “great odds and low minimums.” Maybe it’s because the Casino Royale offers 100 times odds on craps. The casino also features such table games as roulette, blackjack switch and Caribbean stud, as well as over 500 slot and video poker games (from one-cent to five-dollar pulls), including Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks.
Conveniently located across the street from the Mirage, this hotel offers more than 150 comfortable, affordable accommodations surrounded by the 24/7 sizzle of the Strip.
Stay on the premises for exciting gaming action, and you can enjoy lunch or dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, featuring beautiful views of the Strip. Or feast upon the classic White Castle as well as Denny’s and our food court.
Encore, another beautiful resort from the Wynn collection, complements Wynn Las Vegas’ repertoire of accommodations, culinary offerings and leisure activities with additional designer boutiques, six bars and lounges, four signature restaurants and an opulent spa and salon. It boasts a younger, more modern vibe than its forerunner.
Encore takes a casually elegant approach to ambiance with sunlit corridors and atriums overflowing with flowers and plants, intimate nooks and theatrical eateries with dramatic flair. There is a signature butterfly motif on the carpeting and in other accents, as that is a symbol of good luck. High-energy music also wafts throughout the corridors. Nearly 130 ruby red glass chandeliers made by hand in Italy adorn the ceiling of the casino floor.
Although Wynn Las Vegas is home to 14 prestigious eateries, Encore has a smaller but similarly accomplished all-star team of chefs. Five signature restaurants pair master chefs and their personally prepared gourmet fare to create culinary experiences that please the most discerning and well-traveled palates. This includes Sinatra, a fine dining Italian restaurant by well-known Los Angeles chef Theo Schoenegger that pays homage to Ol’ Blue Eyes. Named for the mythical crystal dragon that presides over this dramatic Pan-Asian café, Wazuzu showcases Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean and Thai cuisines.
Dinner at the resort can be preceded or followed by a show. Wynn Theater showcases the eye-popping aqua production “Le Rêve – The Dream.” XS, one of the most expensive clubs ever built (gold glimmers everywhere the eye can see), and Surrender Nightclub are two great nightlife offerings at Encore, where the European-inspired poolside ambiance mingles with a club-like vibe to create an oasis. Encore is also home to Encore Players Bar, a hip new martini bar featuring 150 flavored vodkas, and Andrea’s, a unique dining and nightlife combination. Andrea’s is adjacent to Surrender and showcases an Asian-inspired menu, including dim sum, sushi, noodles and steaks, of Chef Joseph Elevado.
A vibrant atrium, spa, the Claude Baruk Salon and the many designer boutiques in the Esplanade at Encore round out the experience.
The 2,034 spacious suites at Encore start at 700 square feet and feature wall-to-wall windows with spectacular views of the city. Standard amenities include flat-panel TVs in front of both the bed and living areas, along with a 19-inch flat-screen TV in the bathroom. All the linens, robes, slippers and bath products are of the highest caliber. You’ll certainly sleep in the lap of luxury here.
With a coveted location at the heart of Strip — near all the amazing attractions as well as across the street from the Fashion Show mall — a stay at Encore provides the perfect base for your Las Vegas visit as well as an intimate, extravagant escape from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day life.

Take one step onto the fountain-fronted property at Bellagio Las Vegas, and you will instantly find yourself transported to an elegant European resort, replete with lavish rooms, award-winning restaurants and a luxurious spa, all the while surrounded by works from the world’s most renowned artists.
From the natural light bathing the lobby through glass ceilings to the fresh flowers and trees of the Bellagio Conservatory and Gardens, whose displays change five times a year, everything about Bellagio tells you that you’re not in Las Vegas anymore.
Dining devotees will not only be pleased with Bellagio’s first-rate dining options — they will be absolutely dazzled. From the AAA Five-Diamond Award-winning fare of both Le Cirque and Picasso (Bellagio is the only North American resort to house two Five Diamond award-winning restaurants under one roof), the only dining problem you’ll find at Bellagio is how to choose amongst the amazing selection. Celebrated chef Julian Serrano’s restaurant Lago has a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio and features creative small plates and a sophisticated mixology program. Casual eats are also available at Café Bellagio, Noodles and The Buffet. And guests can enjoy sweet treats at Café Gelato and the Palio Café.
Just as exclusive as the eateries is Bellagio’s shopping at Via Bellagio. The impressive list of fashion world luminaries includes Chanel, Dior, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton and Prada. Fine retailers like Bellissimo and Platino are now open along the resort’s pool promenade as well.
The 65,000-square-foot Spa Bellagio provides dozens of ways to further immerse yourself into the luxury this resort offers. And the ultimate diversion is the elemental spectacle of Cirque du Soleil’s “O,” though other, more grounded entertainment at the hotel’s numerous lounges can also be enjoyed at your leisure. Some even offer incredible views of the spectacular Fountains of Bellagio show, a magnificent ballet of dancing waters choreographed to music and lights, in the manmade lake.
All of this excess is balanced by the more delicate delights at Bellagio: the succulent pastries of Jean Philippe Pâtisserie, the expansive balconies overlooking the resort’s meticulously-landscaped pools and the rare and treasured art featured in the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.
Plus, nightlife is a notch above the rest with the elevated service and unique surroundings at The Bank and Hyde Bellagio, an indoor/outdoor venue that overlooks the Fountains of Bellagio. Lily Bar & Lounge is a sleek retreat that boasts lavish décor and signature cocktails as part of a more intimate nighttime experience. Some other great bars to check out include the Petrossian Bar near the lobby and the Sports Bar Lounge by the sprawling race and sports book.
The accommodations at Bellagio have also been completely updated. Three unique designs transport guests to a warm and elegant world replete with modern conveniences. Among the amenities are a custom pillow-top mattress, original artwork by Damon Clarke, a 40-inch Samsung HD television, a media hub, a laptop-sized nightstand safe and a bedside iHome docking station. Keep in mind all rooms, with the exception of the 19th floor, are non-smoking; guests who smoke in rooms will be charged a $300 cleaning fee at checkout.
Don’t take our word for it, however. Discover for yourself the rare experience Bellagio has to offer, and find your own extraordinary piece of Europe in the center of the Las Vegas Strip.
Self-parking fees are: Free for less than one hour; $7 for 1 to 2 hours, $12 for 2 to 4 hours, $15 for 4 to 24 hours. Valet fees: $20 for 0 to 4 hours; $25 for 4 to 24 hours.

North Las Vegas is the latest hot spot in Southern Nevada. One of the hottest spots in that area is the Cannery Casino and Hotel. Near Nellis Air Force Base and the popular Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Cannery bills itself as a “resort destination.” It’s hard to argue with that – especially for those who’ve come for the races.
This hotel has 200 rooms, an elegant palm-bordered pool and Jacuzzi and 24-hour room service. The casino level offers six restaurants and two bars with nightly live entertainment.
As you might guess from the names of the bars – Pin-Ups Lounge and Victory’s Bar & Grill – the Cannery goes for a WWII-vintage canning factory atmosphere, from the extensive use of brick to the illustrations of ’40s models on the blackjack tables.
The 75,000-square-foot gaming area offers over 1,650 slot and video poker machines and 20 table games. There are weekly blackjack tournaments and free gaming lessons on weekend mornings.

Try Vino’s Italian Restorante and Deli for a taste of Italy in your own backyard.

Hooters Casino Hotel, just east of the Las Vegas Strip, is home to a namesake Hooters restaurant and, of course, the world-famous Hooters Girls in tiny orange hot pants and white tank tops. But it offers so much more.
Not only is there an array of scantily clad ladies, but Hooters Casino Hotel also has a little something for everyone. The resort’s comfortable rooms are island-casual with tropical prints on the comforters and all the standard amenities. The casino is always packed with action and includes table games like roulette, craps and blackjack as well as plenty of slot and video poker machines, a poker room and a William Hill sports book.

Best of all, no one has to leave empty-handed. While the Hooters Girls have to stay behind, true fans can bring home a piece of the resort from Splurge, a shop that sells all sorts of Hooters Casino Hotel logo merchandise and memorabilia.
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 this one. 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.
This 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 AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort rivals many of the major resorts on the Strip, while also maintaining its local appeal.
LCD screens scattered throughout Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa 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 centerpiece of the property is the three-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 and even the convention space.
Guests can grab a drink at the Onyx or Lucky bars and listen to live music in Rocks Lounge.

The resort is also family-friendly, with several options for young tourists, such as a 16-screen movie theater and an arcade.

Overall, this is a sophisticated property for discriminating guests who want something a bit different, but still want everything Las Vegas has to offer. At Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, you’ll enjoy a relaxing and exhilarating retreat.
The Plaza Las Vegas, which anchors the west end of Fremont Street Experience, has a lot to offer visitors in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.
The property boasts an energetic casino packed with modern and classic gaming choices. Test your luck at blackjack, roulette and craps or head to the poker room where there are three automated PokerPro tables. There are also 500 slot and video poker machines on the spacious casino floor.

This eatery’s hand-tossed pies are made with the freshest ingredients — and there are vegan and vegetarian options too! Oscar’s is a steakhouse named for Oscar Goodman, the city’s former mayor. It’s situated in the resort’s iconic dome.

Marriage-minded guests should check out the wedding chapel, and more than 22,000 square feet of space is available for conventions, meetings and special events.
A historic property, the Plaza sits in downtown Las Vegas at the site of the city’s first train depot. Today, after a contemporary makeover, it’s still a hub of activity for visitors.
Arguably one of the hippest, most rollicking joints in town, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino houses Vegas’ hottest concert venue and pool complex along with some chic nightspots, restaurants and retail outlets.
It’s all about the music here. From guitar-shaped door handles to a saxophone chandelier, every element of the resort worships at the altar of rock. The coolest collection of music memorabilia is enshrined on its walls and along its hallways. Check out jackets from Aerosmith, the Ramones and U2. There are also motorcycles, drum kits, countless autographed guitars and outrageous costumes worn by Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Elton John, Joan Jett and Billy Idol.
All of this memorabilia just scratches the surface of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s devotion to the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The entire resort — from the original structure built in 1995 to the all-suite HRH Tower added on in 2010 — has a hedonistic atmosphere reminiscent of a backstage bacchanal. At night, the casino’s Luxe Bar serve as ground zero for the parade of beautiful people. Vanity nightclub is also here, but is only open to public for special events and parties. It sports decadent décor elements including hand-cut crystals, rubbed brass and black chrome.
The resort’s crowning achievement, however, is The Joint. Steely Dan, the Ramones, Sting, Green Day, Ringo Starr, Duran Duran, Ozzy Osbourne, the Rolling Stones and many more smoked the original venue. A larger, state-of-the-art concert facility by the same name has since opened to carry the torch. It seats 4,000 people and offers a sound, lighting and video system that puts all others to shame. A smaller live music venue called Vinyl has also opened its doors. Emanating a speakeasy atmosphere, it has an industrial look and features a variety of bands.
Outside, the pool area, dubbed “Beachlife” and consisting of three separate pools (Nirvana Pool, Breathe Pool and Paradise Beach) is lush beyond belief with sandy beaches, tropical palms, private cabanas and swim-up blackjack, all accommodating the bronzed bodies who have made it the place to see and be seen. During the summer, the best revelry in the city takes place at Rehab. The Hard Rock Hotel originated this ultimate daytime pool party, where guests enjoy something akin to spring break debauchery.
Dining runs the gamut at the resort — from cosmopolitan to classic yet cutting edge. For instance, Nobu serves up modern Japanese cuisine and Fú has a unique fusion of Asian fare, while 35 Steaks + Martinis offers a cutting-edge take on traditional steakhouse cuisine. Culinary Dropout, a trendy gastropub by Sam Fox, provides another fabulous eating experience. Pink Taco cooks up Mexican favorites with a California flair. Plus, Mr. Lucky’s Café is the ultimate 24-hour coffee shop with a modern attitude. You never know who will walk in after a concert, and the off-the-menu special (the $7.77 plate of steak and shrimp) is sure to satisfy any meat-lover’s appetite.
Body-conscious guests will be pleased to discover a fully equipped fitness center, one that is much larger than you’d usually find at a hotel gym. Relaxation is also on the menu at the Reliquary Spa. With treatments like a Russian deep tissue massage, an Asian healing massage, a Turkish ritual and a Fijian body scrub, you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled all around the world.
Truly a Vegas original, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino must be seen — and heard — to be believed. For the young, hip and trendy, this is an ideal place to kick off your Vegas party.
Locals know the truth about Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino. Situated near the Strip and hotspots like the Hard Rock Hotel and “restaurant row,” it boasts an ideal location. In fact, it’s one of the friendliest establishments in Las Vegas.
The casino is smaller than many of its Strip counterparts, but modern and absolutely loaded with amenities. It includes a William Hill Race & Sports Book with leather chairs, table games, a 195-seat bingo room and countless slot and video poker machines.
Wrought iron chandeliers hang from the ceilings, and flowered ivy decorates the faux-finished walls in the casino. There are two lively bars: a sports bar and the Corona Cantina with a stage where live entertainment is often featured.
The Sterling Spoon Cafe, a wonderful 24-hour coffee shop, can curb any craving with everything from American to Mexican and Chinese favorites — as well as breakfast any time of the day. You can also indulge in a more upscale steak and seafood menu with fine spirits in The Back Room at The Sterling Spoon on Friday and Saturday nights. The S7 Buffet is another affordable option offering themed dinners seven nights a week. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Buca di Beppo, Morton’s The Steakhouse, Roy’s, the Gordon Biersch Brewery & Restaurant, Fogo de Chao and more are located across the street, only steps away.
A pool and hot tub in a lushly landscaped courtyard, a fitness center, free shuttle service to both the Strip and McCarran International Airport (for a detailed schedule of departures and pickups, contact the front desk), and a gift shop round out the amenities at Silver Sevens, where you are guaranteed a wonderful stay!
For the classic Vegas experience, visit the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, where both business and leisure travelers are offered gourmet and casual restaurants, first-rate entertainment and world-class gaming action, as well as easy access to the Strip via the Las Vegas Monorail.
With a long history in the city, the Westgate Las Vegas originally opened as the International Hotel in 1969 and served as the venue where Elvis Presley broke all Vegas show attendance records. Nostalgic photographs of the musical maverick and a bronze statue of him remain on display.
In the Westgate Cabaret you can see “Purple Reign: THE Prince Tribute” and the topless revue “Sexxy” starring Jennifer Romas.
After an evening of entertainment, unwind inside the hip Tempo lounge, the Plaza Bar or The International Bar near the lobby.
Boasting several restaurants, the Westgate Las Vegas truly has something to suit every taste. An enchanting Zen-inspired Asian garden, where a tranquil rain splashes down into a koi-filled pond, sits outside the entrance to the award-winning Benihana. Nearby, Silk Road Noodle Bar, Rikki Tikki Sushi and Edge Steakhouse offer guests two more great choices in fine dining, while The Buffet provides a more casual option. Sid’s Cafe is a 24-hour eatery in the heart of the casino where you can get appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, main plates and desserts — as well as standouts like The Elvis Sandwich and the Chicken Lollipops. Grab a quick cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a snack at Fortuna, located near the lobby.
In the casino, crystal chandeliers run the length of the ceiling, while natural light from the hotel’s front entrance permeates the floor, which includes an array of games, from baccarat to slot machines. There is a glass-enclosed high-limit table area as well as high-limit slots. The SuperBook, an enormous non-smoking race and sports book spanning more than 30,000 square feet, includes a VIP section for high rollers, the non-smoking Ultimate Fan Cave and a deli. It also features the largest indoor LED video wall in the world, measuring at 240 feet long.
Accommodations at the Westgate Las Vegas are elegantly appointed and feature several modern amenities. The Signature rooms offer pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen televisions and wireless internet access. A simple upgrade to the Concierge Level rooms gives guests access to the exclusive executive experience of the Concierge Lounge, located on the casino floor of the hotel’s East Tower. Concierge Level guests enjoy complimentary breakfast, snacks, cookies and evening cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
Guests may want to indulge in a relaxing body treatment at the The Spa, play a game of tennis or lay out by the hotel’s third-floor pool with its stunning views of the Strip. There’s also a state-of-the-art cardio room for fitness buffs. Guests may also want to shop in one of the Westgate Las Vegas’ many gift stores, carrying everything from souvenirs to apparel and jewelry.
The business-savvy traveler will be pleased to find that — at nearly 200,000 square feet — meeting space is plentiful at the Westgate Las Vegas. A skywalk actually links the convention space to the neighboring Las Vegas Convention Center.
With its proximity to the Las Vegas Monorail, it’s easy to travel from the Westgate Las Vegas to just about anywhere on the world-famous Strip. But considering the wide variety of entertainment, dining and gaming options offered, you may never want to leave.
Fremont Street Experience may boast the brightest lights, but the iconic Four Queens Hotel & Casino is a star in its own right.
The venerable resort is located in the heart of downtown, but it has been there since well before the high-tech Viva Vision canopy started dazzling crowds. There’s enough classic Vegas glitz and old-school charm inside the Four Queens to rival the light show’s best displays.
The casino floor at Four Queens is always active and brimming with excitement as well. It boasts more than 1,000 slot machines, 27 gaming tables, a keno parlor and a sports book. Most recently, a bank of the popular Paradise Fishing slots was installed at the east entrance.
Dining at Four Queens is among downtown’s most celebrated. Enjoy the savory gourmet delights of Hugo’s Cellar, where every woman walks away with a fresh rose. For a more casual experience, try a fresh-baked pizza in the Chicago Brew Pub, where you’ll also discover a cigar lounge. And the 24-hour Magnolia’s Veranda serves up quick eats, including an unbeatable prime rib dinner special.
The Canyon Club showroom boasts a variety of live entertainment — everything from dance bands to comedians. Comedy magician Mike Hammer is currently mesmerizing audiences in an early evening show followed by Steve Connolly, who stars in the Elvis tribute show the “Spirit of the King.”
Featuring 690 comfortable and spacious rooms in twin 19-story towers, the Four Queens maximizes your stay with a 24-hour bell staff, laundry service and room service. Among the hotel’s other amenities are a lovely pool, meeting rooms and a gift shop to round out your Vegas experience.
With celebrated dining, convenient services and classic Vegas charm, the Four Queens is one of the brightest stars in downtown Las Vegas.
Quick note to all guests who are staying at the hotel. The south tower is currently undergoing renovations.
The Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower has become a one-of-a-kind landmark in the Vegas skyline and, at 1,149 feet high, its tower is the spot for the ultimate view of Las Vegas. But offering a spectacular view, the highest thrill rides in the country, a bevy of dining options and a variety of accommodations, is just the beginning.
The Stratosphere’s casino is nearly as impressive an entity as the tower. It’s one of the larger gaming floors in town and is constantly updated with state-of-the-art slot machines and video technology. Plus, there’s an action-packed race and sports book and a 24-hour poker room with eight tables.
The Stratosphere also boasts a grand front entrance with valet service. There are 2,427 rooms, mostly in the Premier Tower. More than 900 rooms (called the Stratosphere Select) were recently remodeled and feature modern décor, flat-screen televisions, MP3 alarm clocks, 240-thread-count bedding, elegant furnishings and upgraded bathroom floors and vanities.
A variety of dining experiences awaits guests of the Stratosphere. Off the casino floor, you can enjoy a sock hop atmosphere at Roxy’s Diner or the charm and tastes of Old World Italy at Fellini’s Ristorante Italiano. McCall’s Heartland Grill offers steak and seafood with a Midwestern style. Try plate after plate of global cuisine at the Stratosphere’s sumptuous buffet. And at Top of the World, indulge in delicious eclectic cuisine while seeing the entire city of Las Vegas from your table. The restaurant’s floor rotates, giving guests an exceptional 360-degree view, featuring Mount Charleston, the Las Vegas Strip and beyond.
After dining at the Top of the World, head upstairs to the Level 107 Lounge. It features live music, great cocktails, appetizers and beautiful views. You can also grab a drink at AirBar on Level 108. You might see an occasional person fly by. Don’t worry, you haven’t had too much alcohol. SkyJump, a great attraction for thrill seekers who aren’t afraid of heights, is also located on Level 108. Adventurous visitors are strapped into a harness, attached to the “descender machine” and step off a narrow platform only to plunge 855 feet straight down.
In addition to SkyJump, the Stratosphere boasts a number of other hair-raising attractions including the Big Shot, a seated, shorter but equally thrilling ride, and X Scream, which extends you over the ledge of the Stratosphere Tower — and leaves you there. The stop is only for a few seconds, but it’s long enough to make you appreciate attractions on the first floor. A fourth ride is called Insanity-The Ride. Nothing more need be said!
After enjoying the day sampling the resort’s many attractions, spend your evening at a show like “MJ Live,” a Michael Jackson tribute.
Shop-aholics will find great deals in the Tower Shops, and those who enjoy being pampered can visit the Roni Josef Salon and Spa. Seasonally, there’s the lovely eighth-floor Level 8 Pool where you can catch some rays on an expansive deck, and the the 25th-floor Radiusº Rooftop Pool & Wet Lounge (closed for the season) where you can enjoy great views and the daily Sunset Happy Hour.
Whether it’s great heights, great attractions or a great show you’re looking for, the Stratosphere has an abundance of amenities to enjoy.
A huge bingo room. A bowling alley. Two top-notch Asian restaurants. These amenities and more make the off-Strip Gold Coast beloved by visitors and locals alike.
Located a mile west of Las Vegas Boulevard on Flamingo Road, it’s hard to believe this resort hasn’t been around since the turn of the century, luring the citizens of the West and beyond to its abundant gaming and entertainment by the wagonload. A classic gambling hall charm pervades the Gold Coast, from its frontier-style exterior to its 120,000-square-foot casino. In addition to the 720-seat bingo hall, the hotel boasts a bustling race and sports book as well as more than 2,100 of the most popular slot and video poker machines around.
If gaming’s not your bag, the Gold Coast offers plenty of other diversions, including a 70-lane bowling center and a showroom that features a variety of live entertainment.
Of course, you won’t go hungry in this place. Gold Coast offers a score of diverse dining options. It offers exotic Asian specialties of Ping Pang Pong and the Noodle Exchange. T.G.I. Friday’s even has a location inside the resort, so you can always grab an affordable slab of ribs or tuck into a sizzling chicken and cheese skillet.
Take all of this and add a great swimming pool, meeting rooms, a salon, a barber shop and a convenient location directly across from both the Rio and the Palms hotels, and you’ll realize why the Gold Coast remains such a treasured gem.
Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip, known simply as TI, is aptly named because of its many hidden treasures. A paradise for adults, it includes some of the hippest hangouts in town, a tropical pool area with a party tub, a variety of restaurants and the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas.
The hotel’s exterior features a sleek marquee with the TI initials. One of Treasure Island’s big features is Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Q, which has something for everyone. The saloon portion offers bikini bull riding contests, multiple bars, a stage, a dance floor and a “big Texas” attitude. The restaurant, which fronts the Strip, features barbecue-style favorites including ribs, big burgers and pork sliders. There’s also an outdoor patio.
The rowdy Señor Frog’s bar and restaurant, a party staple in Mexico, adds to the nightlife scene now.
Visitors flock to Vegas to relax, play and eat well, and Treasure Island 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 Strip. They also boast the exclusive Elite Sensational pillow-top beds, flat-screen LCD TVs, small refrigerators, private safes and large soaking bathtubs.
The sprawling casino includes a small but stylish poker room, a race and sports book, several thousand slot and video poker machines as well as plenty of table games.
Phil’s Italian Steakhouse celebrates the best of Italian and American cuisines. The Vietnamese-themed Pho is a restaurant within a restaurant, located in The Coffee Shop. A world-class selection of dishes is also available for breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend champagne brunch in The Buffet at TI. And Little Richie’s Chicago-Style Beef and Dogs is a hot dog stand situated near the poker room and sports book.
Included in Treasure Island’s entertainment offerings is the visually stunning “Mystère” by Cirque du Soleil, now nearly through its second decade of highly acclaimed performances.
The hotel recently opened a highly interactive attraction for the masses. With state-of-the-art equipment, Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N lets the whole family become secret agents. Top secret intelligence files, classified studies, and experiments lead you to a one-of-a-kind experience.
The pool features private cabanas and a party tub that fits 25 people. For some pampering, Oleksandra Spa & Salon offers luxurious treatments in a facility designed by a former Miss Universe contestant.
Topping it all off, the resort is conveniently located, offering a tram to the neighboring Mirage and a pedestrian bridge across Spring Mountain to the Fashion Show mall. There’s also a three-story, 48,000-square-foot retail center on the northeast corner of the property opposite the Fashion Show mall that’s anchored by CVS.
With the wealth of riches at Treasure Island, it’s no wonder that once you’ve set sail with this crew, you’ll never want to return to port again.
