It might be safe to say that Caesars Palace is synonymous with Las Vegas. Its lavish rooms, splendorous pools, world-class shopping, extravagant entertainment, gourmet dining and hot nightlife continue to define just what “doing Vegas” is all about.
Unlike many of its contemporaries that have been imploded into dust over the years — Caesars Palace opened in 1966 — the resort continues to innovate and reinvent itself without sacrificing that classic Rome-via-Vegas atmosphere: unparalleled service, majestic surroundings and a true circus maximus of diversions.
Where should one even begin? That’s easy…with the stellar entertainment. Continuing to raise the bar for shows in Vegas, Caesars Palace offers incredible headliner productions — starring Celine Dion, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey and Reba with Brooks & Dunn and several other music and comedy legends — in its voluminous show venue the Colosseum. An edgy, circus-style show for adults, “Absinthe” has also pitched its tent-style theater in front of the Roman Empire.
There are several cool bars to chill out in at the resort. Cleopatra’s Barge, the luxurious floating lounge, transports you back to the time of Julius Caesar. The Seahorse Lounge houses a 1,700-gallon aquarium filled with Australian pot belly seahorses at its entrance. A bar and lounge called Fizz Las Vegas serves high-end champagnes by the glass or bottle along with exquisite choices of caviar, charcuterie and small plates. Vista Cocktail Lounge combines custom-crafted cocktails along with LED portals that showcase panoramic views from around the world.
Boasting an ornately designed domed four-story roof, the luxurious Omnia Nightclub houses a seductive ultra lounge, a high-energy main room with one of the largest dance floors in Vegas, a mezzanine with private booths and a breathtaking rooftop garden. There’s also an impressive roster of DJs spinning here.
The ever-growing list of amazing dining options — in both the casino and the renowned shopping mecca that is the The Forum Shops at Caesars — features celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay with his Southwestern fare at Mesa Grill, Michel Richard of Central and Guy Savoy. Guests can also enjoy rare delights from the likes of Sushi Roku or for less adventurous palettes, there are comfort-food options like The Cheesecake Factory. The Old Homestead Steakhouse, a venerable New York City steakhouse, serves up its iconic cuts of meat and classic sides at the resort. The Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill offers an array of British-oriented food from lamb T-bone to fish and chips as well as have a striking bar with 36 beers on tap and 24 bottled beers. Searsucker is known for its cowboy attitude and signature items such as the 38-ounce bone-in ribeye tomahawk. The Bacchanal Buffet is a 25,000-square-foot homage to eating.
Of course, before high-class shopping and gourmet restaurants, Caesars Palace was known as the casino in Las Vegas for anyone who is anyone to throw around their cash. And the 129,000-square-foot casino continues to be a prime destination for high rollers, celebrities and those looking to become either of the two. Excitement is always on tap in 62-table poker room and throughout the fast-paced race and sports book.
Even mere mortals can experience service and amenities worthy of the Olympian gods, from the artisan-like hair, skin and nail treatments available at Color salon run by Michael Boychuck to the 55,000-square-foot Qua Baths & Spa, which is known for its signature Roman bath rituals.
Caesars Palace boasts five room towers. The spacious rooms in its Augustus and Octavius towers are known as The Laurel Collection. They provide an elevated guest experience with added luxuries like a unique hotel app, a dedicated service staff and direct access to the Garden of the Gods pool oasis.
The world’s first Nobu Hotel has also opened inside the resort. Created by celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the 181-room boutique property offers a distinctly Japanese experience in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. On the ground floor of Caesars Palace, it boasts the world’s largest Nobu Restaurant and Lounge, at 12,775 square feet. In addition to a sushi bar, private dining areas, an open kitchen and two chef’s tables, this is the only Nobu restaurant in the world to have three sizzling teppanyaki tables.
If you crave the maximum Vegas experience, there simply is no argument more compelling than one night’s stay at Caesars Palace. Don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.

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.

At Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, excess is the norm. Las Vegas 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 120-acre property.
The resort is practically dripping in nightlife, dining, entertainment, recreation and relaxation. The accommodations are modern and up to date, offering wireless internet, iHome clock radios and large plasma-screen TVs in every room. Delano Las Vegas, the adjacent all-suite hotel, complements the already impressive property, offering a boutique experience for guests looking for a more cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Hip and high-end, Mandalay Bay is a bustling paradise, accented by fountains, sculptures, marble and flora. Surrounding it is dining at its finest, from the proletariat Red Square and the elegant Aureole by Charlie Palmer to Michael Mina’s stylish Stripsteak. Lupo by Wolfgang Puck is an Italian restaurant featuring a few twists on some old classics. Rick Moonen’s RM seafood provides patrons with everything from gourmet- and café-style seafood eateries to a sushi/raw bar. His steampunk-inspired venture, RX Boiler Room, showcases classic comfort food in small and large plate portions on the restaurant’s second floor. Other fine dining options are Fleur by Hubert Keller and the creative Japanese cuisine of Akira Black at Kumi Japanese Restaurant and Bar.
Mandalay Bay’s casual foodie offerings also keep in mind the relaxed tropical atmosphere. From the authentic Irish pub fare at Rí Rá, the 24-hour bistro menu at Citizens Kitchen and Bar and the Mexican favorites at the Border Grill and Hussong’s Cantina to the decadent hamburgers at Burger Bar, the By the Slice counter at Slice of Vegas and the Cantonese dishes in The Noodle Shop, there is something to suit virtually every palate.
Entertainment also abounds at the resort. “Michael Jackson ONE,” created by the estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil, fuses together the music of Jackson and his hope for unity and a better world through a plot that follows four misfits on a state-of-the-art visual and audio adventure.
At night, eyecandy sound lounge offers an interactive experience with a high-tech touch, while the Foundation Room boasts unparalleled views of the Strip from high above Mandalay Bay and Delano Las Vegas, respectfully. Light is a wonderful nightlife venue that was “turned on by Cirque du Soleil.” Plus, you’ll never forget a visit to Minus5 Ice Bar or 1923 Bourbon & Burlesque.
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 Mandalay Bay Events Center meanwhile, provides a venue for sporting events and arena-sized musical acts.
It’s not all about the nightlife though — Mandalay Bay has plenty of things to do in the bright light of day. Get up close with some toothy friends at the Shark Reef Aquarium, featuring more than 2,000 animals. If you’d rather do the swimming yourself, take a dip in the one of the resort’s four pools at Mandalay Bay Beach, which also features a lazy river, a wave pool, the three-tiered Beachside Casino, bungalows, annual summer concerts and Moorea Beach Club (an adults-only pool experience).
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 gambling on the 135,000-square-foot casino floor, shopping at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, getting pampered at Spa Mandalay or creating the ultimate Vegas cliché by tying the knot at one of three wedding chapels in the complex.
For guests who smoke in a non-smoking room, keep in mind there is a $300 cleaning fee upon checkout.
Guests will be charged for parking. Self-parking fees are: Free for less than one hour; $7 for 1 to 2 hours, $10 for 2 to 4 hours, $12 for 4 to 24 hours. Valet fees: $15 for 0 to 4 hours; $20 for 4 to 24 hours. Parking fees repeat for each 24-hour period.

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.
Conveniently located near Nellis Air Force Base and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Siegel Slots and Suites offers fully furnished Las Vegas hotel rooms.
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. The property recently open a brand new race and sports book, a poker room offering 2 tables including low- and medium-limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud and a 288 seat bingo room.
The signature restaurant is Waverly’s Steak House, showcasing dark wood tones and still-life paintings that give it the look of a ’40s-style plant manager’s office. There’s also the Cannery Row Buffet featuring BBQ lunch and dinner, Casa Cocina for Mexican and margaritas and the All-American, 24-hour Victory’s Cafe. Try Vino’s Italian Restorante and Deli for a taste of Italy in your own backyard.
The Cannery also features Galaxy Luxury Movie Theaters with 16 screens, a large indoor/outdoor entertainment and exhibit venue that accommodates up to 3,000 people for concerts, festivals, motor sports exhibits and boxing matches.
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.
