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.
The off-Strip Palms Casino Resort offers guests some of the city’s most spectacular views of Las Vegas, unique rooms, memorable nightlife venues and a bevy of dining options.
From a sky-high nightclub with a retractable roof to a poolside paradise, the Palms is a hotspot for the cool crowd — and a playground for celebrities. The resort provides an array of well-appointed guestrooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars and safes as well as specialty suites with everything you’d ever need for a grand Vegas getaway.
In addition, the Palms boasts its 40-story Fantasy Tower, which houses a series of fantasy suites. From the mammoth and lush Celebrity Suite to the ultra hip G-Suite and the bowling alley-inclusive Kingpin Suite, the Palms’ Fantasy Suites turn a regular vacation into one fit for a Vegas high roller. Other options include the hip-hop-themed Crib Suite, the bachelorette party-friendly Hot Pink Suite and the sensual Erotic Suite. Plus, there are one- and two-story Sky Villas near the top of the Fantasy Tower, showcasing opulence and one-of-a-kind amenities — like a private cantilevered Jacuzzi pool overlooking the Strip.
In conjunction with the luxe accommodations, it’s no wonder the stars are attracted to the Palms. The resort features great nightlife options, beginning with Ghostbar. Its open-air deck offers amazing 180-degree views of the city from 55 stories high. A significant player in Las Vegas’ music world, the 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 sophisticated center bar Social offers guests more refined fun.
Also tops at the Palms is the dining scene. Sky-high restaurants include chef Geno Bernardo’s Nove Italiano, which serves Italian favorites and handmade pastas, as well as a spectacular view from the dining room. At chef Andre Rochat’s Alizé, diners can enjoy similar floor-to-ceiling views along with a sophisticated French menu.
On the ground floor, the sleek N9NE Steakhouse has a sizzling atmosphere to match its succulent cuts of prime aged beef. China House is also here. The menu features dim sum and more than 200 beef, chicken, pork and seafood options, along with a variety of soups. At China House, there is also a focus on traditional hot pots.
Fast, casual dining choices at the resort include the Bistro Buffet, the little coffee shop Cafe on the Way and a sizeable food court known as The Eatery.
Hooters has opened its largest restaurant at the Palms along with a poolside bar that has 50 TVs.
If you’re looking to work out or get a manicure, the Palms has Recharge Salon & Fitness. Outside, the revered Palms Pool & Dayclub provides a welcome reprieve from Vegas’ heat with multiple pools, including two designed just for shallow lounging. And during the summer months, you don’t want to miss some of the most debauched pool parties (think Ditch Fridays) in town.
If indoor fun is more your style, check out the 14-theater Brenden Theatres complex. There’s plenty of gaming action to tempt you on the casino floor as well, including a Cantor Race & Sports Book with 93 betting carrels.
And if all of this isn’t enough, take a stroll through the Skytube (located in the food court) to the adjoining Palms Place property, where you’ll have access to another hip lounge, Cafe 6, a spa with a hammam and another enchanting pool area.
Indeed, with all of these offerings and the hip atmosphere, the Palms makes every guest feel like a celebrity.
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.
An off-Strip property, Palace Station serves locals and tourists with great food, comedy acts, affordable rooms and much more.
Originally the “The Casino,” Palace Station paved the way for the rest of the Station Casinos properties. The acclaimed Sunset, Texas, Santa Fe and Boulder Station hotels as well as Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa wouldn’t exist if not for the dazzling success of this establishment. And the driving forces behind Palace Station are constantly refining and building on their good fortune for the benefit of their guests.
The accommodations here are spacious and just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, offering choices that run the gamut from comfort to class. Rooms and suites in the 21-story Luxury Tower boast a sophisticated, modern décor and upgraded amenities, including flat-screen televisions, work areas and top-notch bath products. The courtyard rooms are clean, comfortable and convenient with plenty of amenities. And guests won’t have to trek through the casino upon check-in because all rooms and suites are easily accessible from the lobby and parking garage.
Palace Station’s casino virtually crackles with charged excitement, with more than 1,600 slot machines, 44 table games,a 307-seat bingo room and an Asian games area featuring pai gow tiles. There is also a high-limit slots area, an expansive race and sports book and a nonsmoking poker room. Those who come to Palace Station not to stay, but to play, will enjoy the convenience of a separate casino valet, located with easy access to the casino floor.
The dining at Palace Station is as diverse and rich as Las Vegas itself. The Charcoal Room steakhouse features a menu including top-grade cuts of beef, market select fresh seafood and appetizers like creamed corn au gratin. Little Tony’s, a classic pizzeria by 11-time World Pizza Champion winner Tony Gemignani, serves a variety of pizza styles as well as a selection of pastas, calzones, stromboli, antipasti and salads. The Grand Café is open 24 hours a day to satisfy your cravings, while Cabo Mexican Restaurant offers up Mexican food in a hip, modern atmosphere, featuring lights resembling chili peppers and a round inviting bar. There’s something for everyone at the Feast Buffet as well. Guests can also grab a triple grande latte or other drink of choice at the Starbucks off the lobby.
Entertainment options include live music at Jack’s, a pub and sports bar, or guests can while away an evening with drinks at the Traxx and Trackside casino bars.
Surrounded by palm trees, the pool deck is relaxing and boasts two hot tubs. Plus, there is a fitness center, business center and gift shop.
Although Palace Station is located just off the Strip, complimentary shuttles run daily between the hotel and the Fashion Show mall on the Strip. Guests will also enjoy shuttle service to the airport. A concierge desk is available in the lobby to help with show or other travel arrangements.
Palace Station is willing, ready and able to make everyone feel right at home in Las Vegas.
The Fiesta Rancho casino-hotel, comfortably located away from the frantic rush of the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, offers a pleasant, locals-friendly atmosphere along with the same excitement and amenities that distinguish Strip resorts.
Of course, the Fiesta Rancho offers amenities that you won’t find on the Strip, most notably its NHL regulation-sized SoBe Ice Arena, which is available for public skating.
Another standout feature of the Fiesta Rancho is its restaurant selection. The 600-seat Festival Buffet offers 11 food stations and a wide variety of cuisine spanning the globe from China to Italy and back. The food court offers a variety of fast food options.
The Fiesta Rancho holds itself up as the “Official Royal Flush Capital of the World.” So, it makes sense that the resort’s 50,000-square-foot casino is not to be missed. After all, it had to earn that title somehow.
**Starting Oct. 3, 2016, the Monte Carlo will undergo construction that will close The Pub, outlets in the Street of Dreams, rooms and the pool.

Guests looking for a quick bite to eat have access to a range of different dining options at the Monte Carlo. The Buffet offers a cornucopia of American and international dishes. And the food court houses such well-loved brands as Manchu Wok, Sbarro, Rubio’s and Starbucks.
Several casual, indoor/outdoor eateries have been constructed as part of a pedestrian-oriented experience along Monte Carlo’s Strip-facing facade. This includes the rollicking Double Barrel Roadhouse, which offers live music and the sexy “DB Girls.” Its drinks menu is also packed with a wide range of spirits, cocktails, wines and craft beers. Yusho by Chicago chef Matthias Merges serves Japanese-inspired street food like noodles and steamed buns as well as beers and a sake selection, and 800 Degrees Pizzeria has fired up its oven to prepare delicious thin-crust pizzas. There’s also a Sambalatte coffee shop, and you can get inventive ice creams and sorbets at BLVD Creamery. A rotating roster of live bands, solo musicians and street performers appear on the plaza daily from late afternoon until late night.
In addition, guests are a quick walk away from the six-acre dining and entertainment district called The Park in the street between Monte Carlo and New York-New York. The Park houses casual eateries and bars and also connects to the 20,000-seat T-Mobile Arena in partnership with AEG.

The Big Easy meets the Entertainment Capital of the World at The Orleans, located just a short drive west of the Las Vegas Strip. From the playful French Quarter-like façade to the alligator-shaped door handles, the soul of New Orleans envelops guests.

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.
A stay at The Cromwell is sure to be an unforgettable one.
Located at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip on the northeast corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, the boutique-style resort has lots to offer travelers.

The accommodations have a sexy, Parisian-inspired atmosphere. Rooms are dimly lit and feature wood-toned floors, oversized headboards and vintage furnishings. The bathrooms have steam showers and Muk bath products.
Among the other things you’ll find at the resort is a 40,000-square-foot casino with 66 table games, nearly 440 slot machines, a high-limit room and a reserved gaming room. The lobby is reminiscent of an old world parlor with bookshelves lined by leather-bound tomes. Bound by Salvatore, the lobby bar, features the signature cocktails of world-renowned bartender Salvatore Calabrese — including the bubbly Cromwell Fizz, The Breakfast Martini and the espresso-infused Keep Me Awake Bro and Never Say Goodnight. Plus, there is a centralized bar and lounge called Interlude.
De Laurentiis, the well-known author and television personality on the Food Network, is behind the 10,000-square-foot eatery Giada. It’s situated on the second floor and has a patio that showcases breathtaking views of the Strip and Fountains of Bellagio. Her Italian cuisine embraces her birthplace of Rome while blending in some Californian influences. Signature dishes include lemon spaghetti, eggplant rollatini, marsala herb chicken meatballs and lemon ricotta cookies. Giada is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
On the 11th floor is Drai’s Beach Club & Nightclub — a rooftop pool club and nightlife venue. Drai’s After Hours club, which is located below the ground floor, offers up a late-night partying concept.
There is valet and self-parking. Guests will be charged $10 per day for self-parking and $18 per day for valet parking. Hourly self-parking and valet rates vary.

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.

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.

Conventions benefit from 30,000 square feet of event and banquet space accommodating groups of all sizes.
Dining and entertainment are sure to please every visitor with many options. Five fabulous restaurants along with a convenient and familiar food court will curb every appetite. Don’t forget, room service is available to guests of the hotel. Enjoy a live musical concert in the 600-seat showroom, complete with VIP booths, or catch your favorite first-run movie in the 16-screen on premise movie theater.
Aliante is a great local casino/resort, just minutes from the excitement of the Las Vegas tourist corridor.
Just blocks from the Fremont Street Experience, the El Cortez is Las Vegas’ longest continuously running hotel/casino and it is the only Las Vegas hotel still standing to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
One of its main features is the gaming, and being on the casino floor is truly a pleasant experience. The hotel boasts more than 1,000 slot machines (including many that are coin-operated — for a blast to the past); popular table games like blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat; and an active sports book. It’s all waiting for fortune seekers to discover! Low-ante tables bustle with budding gamblers who want to ease into things slowly.
When it comes to dining, there’s Siegel’s 1941. Open 24 hours, it’s an upscale yet casual restaurant where you can dig into everything from roast prime rib, chicken Milanese, steak frites and corned beef hash to Belgian waffles and omelets. For quick bites head to Subway and Pizza lotto. Players can even take advantage of the casino’s Gambling Gourmet service, which provides them with game-side meals served from a rolling cart.
Live piano music can also be enjoyed in The Parlour Bar & Lounge, an elegant venue that boasts a menu packed with modern and vintage cocktails.
While the hotel has graced downtown since 1941 and still showcases its Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture on the exterior, more than $25 million has been spent in recent years on major improvements and renovations to all aspects of the property, right down to the wiring and electrical components in the elevators. All the rooms have been upgraded, and the property’s old Ogden House, located across the street, has been converted into the modern El Cortez Cabana Suites, a South Beach-style boutique hotel with 64 rooms and its own fitness center.
With a solid location anchoring the Fremont East Entertainment District and near to the dazzling light show of the Fremont Street Experience, affordable room rates and a historical air, the El Cortez is an indispensable part of Las Vegas’ exciting downtown area

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.

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.
