Elegant, hip and fun for all ages, Green Valley Ranch accomplishes much more than most off-Strip properties. The resort successfully captures the exclusive feeling of a boutique hotel while maintaining a family-friendly environment and providing the excitement expected from a Las Vegas casino.
Surrounded by upscale shopping and four nearby championship golf courses, Green Valley Ranch offers an all-inclusive vacation experience with a wide variety of dining, nightlife, entertainment and gaming options on a well-manicured, eight-acre property. Located only a short drive away from the Strip, the resort provides an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist spots with convenient access to the I-215 and McCarran International Airport.
Luxury is the norm at Green Valley Ranch, beginning with the rooms. Guests enjoy top-of-the-line amenities including down comforters, wireless internet access, private bars, complimentary daily newspaper delivery and plush robes. Rooms offer breathtaking views from floor-to-ceiling windows of the skyline or the valley’s expansive mountain ranges.
High rollers and casual gamblers alike will easily find action in the European-inspired casino with more than 2,200 slot and video poker machines and 55 table games including blackjack, pai gow poker, craps, roulette and mini-baccarat. The 22-table, smoke-free poker room is open 24 hours a day. There’s a 16-seat live keno lounge with boards conveniently placed throughout the casino. The state-of-the-art race and sports book includes a VIP section with private booths, each featuring its own television. A 400-seat bingo hall offers eight sessions a day.
Guests are not only treated — but also will eat — like royalty, with diverse selections to please any craving, from the fine dining of Hank’s steakhouse to the comfort food of Grand Café and delicious pizza at both Pizza Rock by Tony Gemignani and the Slice House (also be Gemignani) in the food court. The Feast Buffet offers all-you-can-eat tastes from around the globe with six live-action cooking stations. Plus, Tides Oyster Bar is renowned for its fresh seafood.
Upon venturing out to The District at Green Valley Ranch guests will find even more dining options. Located next to the resort — across from the 10-screen Regal Cinemas — is the pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined shopping area that captures a quaint downtown feel with lofts located above the more than 50 sophisticated shops and restaurants, including Ann Taylor Loft, Anthropologie, Chico’s, Elephant Bar, Gymboree, Pottery Barn, REI and Williams-Sonoma.
After a day of shopping, Green Valley Ranch offers an evening of fun in the dimly lit center bar called the Drop Bar.
The pool area is a virtual playground with a sand beach and an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and events. It incorporates private cabanas with beds for lounging, mister systems, televisions and phones, while an adults-only area called The Pond offers European-style sunbathing. Located next to the pool, the multilevel Spa at Green Valley Ranch will restore your tranquility with a variety of body treatments.
Like an oasis in the desert, Green Valley Ranch is more than a hotel and casino — it’s an escape.
At the center of the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino commands the limelight with unforgettable dining, amazing entertainment and exceptional shopping worthy of a standing ovation.
A ritzy lobby with black granite floors and textured glass walls has close to 2,000 back-lit LED bulbs decorating the heck-in desk, while eight crystal chandeliers line the escalator, which leads up to the main casino floor.
The interior design of the casino itself provides a bright, airy ambience for the 100,000-square-foot gaming floor, with glowing, colorful neon lights hanging down from the four-story ceiling and LED lights lining the walls. A hip hangout called the Heart Bar provides ample people-watching opportunities with its black leather go-go clad waitresses and central location on the casino floor.
Thanks to a layout with multiple floors, gamblers will never be at a loss for action, with gaming options — including slots, blackjack, craps, poker, a sports book and keno — located on both the main or the mezzanine level, which also features several overlooks of the main floor.
There is valet and self-parking. Self-parking is free. Guests will be charged $13 per day for valet parking.
Guests can enjoy casual dining at Planet Dailies, eat surrounded by vintage burlesque dancers at Strip House or have the Japanese-inspired dishes with California accents at Koi. The Spice Market Buffet serves fare from around the world. Plus, Gordon Ramsay BurGR features an array of traditional and unique burger preparations as well as a bar serving 30 beers all from a stunning frozen tap wall. Enjoy casual eats like large slices of pizza at Pin-Up Pizza or loaded hot dog at Pink’s.
Feel like catching a wave? Try the Strip’s first ever FlowRider Wave-in-a-Box Double wave machine. In no time, you’ll work yourself up to doing kickflips, aerials and other tricks.
Those seeking relaxation will revel in taking a dip in one of two pools, or heading to the Planet Hollywood Spa by Mandara for a therapeutic body treatment.
Shoppers will be heaven at the Miracle Mile Shops, a massive, circular mall. Access to the Miracle Mile Shops can be found in several locations, including the main casino floor at Planet Hollywood. Inside the mall, shoppers will find more than 140 shops and a dozen restaurants (like Meatball Spot and Ketchup Premium Burger Bar), as well as exciting entertainment like “V– The Ultimate Variety Show” and “Vegas! The Show.” Additional original shows take place in the V Theater and Saxe Theater inside the mall.
The Axis is one of the most state-of-the-art theater venues in Las Vegas and offers performances by some of the best and brightest stars — including pop icon Britney Spears, who is currently starring in her two-year residency show “Britney: Piece of Me.” Global superstar Jennifer Lopez will bring her star power to the resort with a high-energy show that mixes dance, hip-hop, Latin and pop music.
Other shows like “Comedy and Dolls” and “Murray, Celebrity Magician” are showcased at the resort. The topless revue “Crazy Girls” plays in a self-titled showroom with routines that range from contemporary boot-stomping pole dance numbers to bawdy burlesque classics.
It’s only natural that entertainment reigns at Planet Hollywood because the hotel-casino is, after all, situated on the same grounds where the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, married his bride, Priscilla.
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.
North Las Vegas resort Texas Station offers hospitality and Texas-sized entertainment options, including the Dallas Events Center, a 2,000-seat concert venue, as well as the South Padre nightclub, an 18-screen movie theater and a 60-lane bowling center.
Texas Station boasts the same friendly atmosphere of its sister Vegas establishments (Boulder, Palace, Santa Fe and Sunset Stations — plus, Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa), but combines it with the charm, attitude and flavor of the Lone Star State.
At just over 47 acres with a 125,000-square-foot casino, elbow room is plentiful at Texas Station. A wide variety of gaming options — more than 2,000 slot and video poker machines, 27 table games, a 486-seat bingo hall and live keno — make the resort ideal for those looking to challenge lady luck.
Several full-service restaurants — Austins Steakhouse (winner of numerous Las Vegas best steakhouse awards), Texas Star Oyster Bar, the Grand Cafe, a giant buffet and a number of other eateries — provide great dining.

South Padre plays host to live musical acts and has a dance floor. Play billiards in the Splitz Bar. The Dallas Events Center, meanwhile, hosts big-name entertainment.
The entire family will enjoy the 18-screen Regal Cinemas, which offers everything from Hollywood blockbusters to independent films in plush comfort and state-of-the-art dazzle, with stadium seating and THX stereo. And did we mention the 24-hour, 60-lane bowling center that features Cosmic Bowling on Fridays and Saturdays?
There’s a lot to do deep in the heart of Texas. You had better get moseying along, partner, or it’s going to pass you by.
With its brilliant pink and orange façade, the Flamingo is as colorful as the history behind it.
It seems appropriate that the Flamingo is a direct descendant of the hotel where modern Las Vegas began. Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel’s original Flamingo is gone (torn down in 1993), but the hotel that bears the name continues to live up to its name.
The lush gardens behind the room towers seem removed from Las Vegas entirely, with live pink Chilean flamingos, ducks, swans, turtles and koi fish frolicking in ponds and under three-story waterfalls. A number of swimming pools — including the stunning main pool with its seasonal water slide and the party-like Go Pool — make the Flamingo seem less of a casino and more of a full-fledged resort.
But the animals and water attractions aren’t the only entertainment at the Flamingo — plenty of humans worth checking out call the resort their home too. The women of “X Burlesque” offer some adult fun in the late evenings. Jeff Civillico is featured in a wacky comedy/juggling show in the afternoon. There are shows to suit all ages as well, including the song stylings of brother and sister duo Donny and Marie and the celebrity tribute show “Legends in Concert.”
Restaurants at the resort cater to tastes ranging from American and Italian to Japanese cuisines. The Paradise Garden Buffet serves up delicious food in an idyllic setting, looking right out at the picturesque wildlife habitat. Favorites at the Center Cut Steakhouse include the 20-ounce ribeye and 24-ounce porterhouse. And you can always grab a quick bite in the Tropical Breeze Cafe or the food court.
To keep the party going, while your night away at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, a crazy Caribbean-themed entertainment complex with a menu of island favorites and a cast of strolling entertainers. There’s even a Margaritaville Casino for Parrotheads to enjoy, complete with 22 tables, 220 slot machines and the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar. Pick up a cocktail at Bugsy’s Bar or the lobby bar. Other dining choices include Center Cut Steakhouse and the rollicking Mexican restaurant and bar chain Carlos’n Charlie’s.
It goes without saying that the casino is enormous, with more than 1,600 slot machines, countless table games, a poker room and a giant race and sports book to reward the fortunate. Those looking to be pampered or get in a good workout will be impressed with the facilities at The Spa at the Flamingo. Charming weddings can be held in the Garden Chapel.
The north entrance of the Flamingo is also connected to The Linq, an outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment district that’s home to the High Roller observation wheel.
The resort has also transformed its standard rooms into more contemporary accommodations — FAB rooms. Modern décor elements include splashes of signature Flamingo pink and warm, wood-toned furnishings. Guests will enjoy upgraded beds with ultra-soft pillow-top mattresses, plush linens and faux fur throws. FAB rooms even come equipped with 32-inch flat-screen plasma televisions.
There is valet and self-parking. Guests will be charged $8 per day for self-parking and $13 per day for valet parking. Hourly self-parking and valet rates vary.
True to its lineage, the Flamingo is — and always will be — a quintessential Las Vegas experience.
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.

Melding the nostalgia of old Las Vegas with the sophistication of the city’s most extravagant landmarks, the Golden Nugget remains the treasure of Fremont Street.
This legendary hotel has witnessed it turn from a barely paved road to one of the most photographed thoroughfares in the world and finally into its most recent incarnation, the Fremont Street Experience. Through all that time, the Golden Nugget has stood as proud and priceless as the 61-pound gold nugget displayed inside the casino.
From more than 2,400 luxury rooms to the hotel’s gold-leaf facade, everything is rich with Victorian refinement and sheer elegance here. The largest resort in downtown Las Vegas only gets better with age. The Golden Nugget’s most recent addition, the upscale Rush Tower to the northwest end of the property, provides more upscale, spacious rooms to discerning travelers.
Dining at the Golden Nugget is some of the most celebrated in town, including the gourmet cuts of Vic & Anthony’s and a mouth-watering buffet that draws people by the thousands. Lillie’s Asian Cuisine offers Pan-Asian cuisine in a contemporary, yet comfortable atmosphere while Grotto boasts the feel of an Italian trattoria with its Fellini-inspired murals and regional wine list. Cadillac Mexican Cantina & Tequila Bar has a menu of south-of-the-border favorites along with more than 70 boutique tequilas. For hearty portions of American-style food like burgers, sandwiches, ribs and more, head to the Claim Jumper. The Chart House is the place to go for freshly caught seafood served in the shadows of a 75,000-gallon tropical fish aquarium.
The Chart House, The Buffet and the Grotto all offer views of the hotel’s crown jewel: The Tank, a 200,000-gallon aquarium that is home to marine creatures from around the world including several shark species, Southern stingrays and a variety of large game fish.The three-story pool complex features The Tank along with private cabanas, a Jacuzzi, the H2O Bar, waterfalls and an enclosed water slide that passes through the aquarium. A second pool for adults (ages 21 or older) only, The Hideout, is accessible via the third floor and boasts eight plush cabanas.
The sprawling casino floor accommodates every kind of gambler, from the neophyte to the seasoned high roller. For those with cash to spend, there is a high-limit slot salon offering VIP services including a lavish lounge and a private cashier. The semi-enclosed poker room is accented by warm, wood features and has 10 smoke-free tables, plush seating and buy-ins to daily Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments. The Golden Nugget plays a significant role in the poker world with television series such as NBC’s “Poker After Dark” and GSN’s “High Stakes Poker” filming at the hotel. There’s also a country club-style race and sports book and a four-table baccarat pit.
For a break from the high-energy casino action, settle down with a signature cocktail in the intimate atmosphere of the swanky Rush Lounge or rejuvenate with a therapeutic massage or body treatment at Spa and Salon.
Party goers will dance the night away with a fantastic view of Fremont Street at Gold Diggers nightclub. Guests can also grab a drink at the indoor/outdoor Bar 46 with a view of the Fremont Street Experience.
The Golden Nugget puts the shine in downtown Las Vegas. It’s no mistake that travel authorities like AAA and Mobil have given the hotel their highest ratings year after year. So, even though the dazzling light show of Fremont Street Experience may be just steps away from the resort, it’s the Golden Nugget that truly is the brightest attraction.
At the Excalibur in Las Vegas, guests will find contemporary rooms, a busy casino, party-like dining experiences, a knightly show and more, all housed in a gigantic castle.
Set majestically between the skyline of New York-New York and the Egyptian pyramid of Luxor at the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard on the Strip, guests at the Excalibur can discover much more than knights and armor in this hotel.

Near the front of the resort you can access stairs and escalators to the downstairs Fun Dungeon, where a midway offers carnival-style games with plush prizes and an arcade full of all the latest video games, designed for kids and kids-at-heart. You can also enjoy a feast and a show at the arena-style “Tournament of Kings.”
After a long night of rabble rousing and general good cheer, those looking for a little relaxation or to burn some calories will want to visit The Spa at Excalibur. It houses a sauna, steam room and fitness center, as well as offers a full menu of pampering body treatments.
The sprawling casino has plenty of slot and video poker machines as well as a wide variety of table games. Original stained glass panels depicting scenes from medieval times colorfully decorate the roof above the gaming floor. For more excitement, check out The Party Pit.

Indeed, with all of these offerings and the hip atmosphere, the Palms makes every guest feel like a celebrity.
Located on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park has been a family favorite for years. With circus acts in the midway, thrilling rides in The Adventuredome and both casual and gourmet dining, this hotel has something for everyone.
Since opening in 1968, Circus Circus has appeared on screen in many films. It was a malevolent wonderland in Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and a backdrop to the foreign intrigue in the James Bond thriller “Diamonds Are Forever.” The quirky romance between Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington blossoms in front of the iconic clown marquee in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”
Inside, the classic casino floor (some areas even still have the original popcorn ceiling) is an adult playground, complete with many table games and numerous slot machines. Overhead, live circus acts — acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns and jugglers — run throughout the day beginning at 11 a.m., and a carnival midway offers games of skill and chance for all ages.
Accommodations are affordable and comfortable, including the motel-style manor rooms, which are located separately from the main building with their own interior corridor and security staff.
Please keep in mind all rooms are non-smoking; guests who smoke in rooms will be charged a $250 cleaning fee at checkout.

Throughout the property there are more than a handful of places to grab a quick bite or cup of coffee (such as the Pizzeria, the West Side Deli and Blue Iguana Mexican Express), while the casino is home to an enormous buffet.
Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil has opened Vince Neil’s Tatuado Eat-Drink-Party! restaurant and Vince Neil’s Party Bus Bar at Circus Circus. They showcase the rock star’s love of tattoos and tequila in an atmosphere reminiscent of the legendary Sunset Strip rock clubs where Neil and his pals launched their paths to stardom.
Circus Circus also touts the largest space-frame dome in the United States, The Adventuredome, an indoor theme park featuring the Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster, guaranteed to make you scream. The new El Loco, featuring a 72-second ride with gravity-defying turns and over-the-edge twists, provides a heart-dropping thrill as well.
An intimate race and sports book, pools and a unique rotating carousel-like snack bar round out the experience and should serve to reinforce any desire to run away and join the circus.
A Las Vegas institution, Circus Circus is one circus that’s always in town.
