If you’re traveling for business or leisure, the Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino offers both comfort and a fine location to make your trip a pleasure.
The hotel is located three miles from McCarran International Airport, and free airport transportation is available.

Hailed as Las Vegas’ “Most Historic Hotel,” the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown has stood the test of time and then some.
Since opening as the Hotel Nevada in 1906, this corner establishment has stood placidly at One Fremont Street while the city — and the world — changed around it. Most notably, Fremont Street Experience with free light shows and special events was built right outside its doors.
In step with the revitalization spreading throughout downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Gate underwent a major expansion not too long ago. A stunning lobby exhibits items from the hotel’s notable past — things like a Kellogg telephone and ledgers from 1907. There’s a high-limit gaming area in a nook just off the enlarged casino floor, which was also refurbished with new carpeting. The bathrooms have been redone, and silhouettes of either a gangster or flapper make them easy to find.
Also in the casino, guests will encounter the resort’s signature “dancing dealers” from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly. The Bar Prohibition! in the casino is the place to go for a cocktail. With a classic speakeasy vibe, it boasts having once served Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. The One Bar with its bikini-clad and flair bartenders is also a great gathering spot located outside on Fremont Street.
Very little has changed to compromise the Golden Gate’s old school charm. The décor elements harken back to the Roaring ’20s or the Rat Pack era, while the latest technology has been utilized to bring the hotel into modern times. The existing 106 rooms have all been updated and now include hip amenities like 32-inch flat-screen televisions, Keurig coffee makers, pillow-top mattresses and iHome clock radios.
The hotel has opened a five-story tower that is home to 16 luxury suites, including two penthouses that cover the fifth floor. It also features a porte cochère for valet parking and the hotel’s exterior has contemporary pinstripe lighting accents.
The Golden Gate offers the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a historic boutique hotel and then step outside the front doors into the heart of the action in downtown Las Vegas.
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 property features 800 guest rooms and suites, as well as seven penthouse-level suites. Even the standard guest room here is anything but. Every room boasts breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows, either of the city or 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 Casino, Resort and Spa’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 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.
Dining spans the globe with more than 10 restaurants, including the fine steaks at the T-bones Chophouse and Lounge or a bit of everything at the Feast Buffet. Great burgers and other popular American fare is on the menu in the Yard House. Plus, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que has huge portions of delicious Southern-style barbecue, Hearthstone prepares rustic American kitchen fare and The Wiener’s Circle is a Chicago-style hot dog stand that also serves fresh cut fries, milkshakes and breakfast all day long. And chef Andy Vu, who originally comes from Saigon, Vietnam, has created an approachable Asian fusion menu at 8 Noodle Bar with touches of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisines.
Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa has an outdoor pedestrian walkway that links to Downtown Summerlin, a 1.6 million-square-foot shopping and entertainment center.
The resort is also family-friendly, with several options for young tourists, such as a 16-screen movie theater and an arcade. The 60-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 and Salon 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.
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.

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.
