Upon check-in, you will receive a notice of this construction and anything else that might be going on during your stay.**
Monte Carlo is ideally situated on the southern end of the Strip and is convenient to almost everything.
From the glowing crystal chandeliers to the sparkling marble floors, an exquisite ambience is apparent upon entering the lobby. Monte Carlo guests are accommodated in upscale, stylish rooms featuring only the best — pillow-top mattresses, fine linens, wood furnishings, iHome docking stations and flat-screen TVs. The bathrooms boast Italian marble.
All hotel rooms are non-smoking. Keep in mind there is a $250 cleaning fee charged at checkout for guests who smoke in an of the rooms.
A boutique hotel experience can be found on the top (32nd) floor. HOTEL32 truly pampers visitors. You’ll feel like a VIP with round-trip limousine service to the airport, a personal suite assistant, private in-room check-in and access to a private lounge. The fridge is even stocked to quench your every desire.
Dining at Monte Carlo covers an expansive epicurean spectrum, from the Chinese- and sushi-style meals of the Dragon Noodle Co. & Sushi Bar to the spicy festivities at Diablo’s Cantina. Brand Steakhouse offers an enticing evening of fine dining with oversized steaks and chops cooked to order, while d.vino is perfect for connoisseurs of Italian food and wine.
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.
Visitors who want a really cool nightlife experience can stop by the Minus5 Ice Bar. The bar is made entirely of Canadian ice. There are ice sofas, ice sculptures, ice walls and even ice cups. Ignite Lounge is another hip spot featuring sexy cocktails, LED color-changing lights and deep red-tinted doors.

The closest hotel and casino to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Lucky Club Hotel and Casino attracts racing fans from across the country when world-class racing comes to the track.
Lucy’s Bar and Grill is the perfect spot to celebrate after the checkered flag drops.
This Hotel features over 80 newly decorated rooms and suites, an outdoor pool and sundeck.
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.

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.
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.

One of downtown Las Vegas’ most brilliant treasures, Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel is just steps from the Fremont Street Experience but years apart.
Filled almost to overflowing with antiques, rarities and memorabilia — including a chandelier from Paris’ renowned Figaro Opera House and a section of the Berlin Wall — there’s something here to impress nearly everyone, even before one samples Main Street Station’s terrific hospitality.

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.

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.
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.
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
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.
The Luxor, located at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, makes its presence known throughout the valley not only by shining the world’s strongest beam of light into the sky, but also by offering cutting-edge restaurants, renowned entertainment, fascinating attractions and comfortable accommodations. It has shed much of its ancient Egyptian image and moved into this modern era with a more adult-oriented theme as well as ultra chic bars and lounges.
A present-day wonder, this 30-story pyramid contains many amenities. Spacious rooms surround the world’s largest atrium, which boasts shopping, dining and plenty of good entertainment. The casino, at 120,000 square feet, is one of the city’s biggest, offering an array of the latest slot and video poker machines, table games, a race and sports book and the Bruce Buffer Poker Room.
The smaller, more seductive Savile Row is situated next to it. A 2,000-square-foot haven, Savile Row is reminiscent of the street by the same name in London. Flight is the perfect spot for club goers to grab a few drinks before buckling their seatbelts for takeoff. At Liquidity, the casino’s water-themed center bar, guests will appreciate the sleek, high-tech design. Other nightlife options include the hip lobby bar Aurora.
Dining choices range from the around-the-world selections of More the Buffet to the rocking T&T (Tacos & Tequila) that features the innovative cuisine of celebrity chef Richard Sandoval. For a wide selection of breakfast and lunch fare, step into the Pyramid Café and explore its many comfort food options. Tender Steak & Seafood offers the best in surf and turf as well. The stylish American-style pub, Public House, is a popular favorite.
During the summer months, guests can be spotted soaking up the sun at the expansive five-acre pool deck through windows in the walkway that connects the two-story parking garage to the hotel. Located in the pool area, Nurture Spa & Salon lives up to its name, offering a steam bath, whirlpool and sauna, along with an array of facials and body treatments.
On the atrium-level, entertainment abounds. Enjoy the prop comedian Carrot Top and “Fantasy,” a sexy adult show featuring powerhouse vocals from Lorena Peril along with a bevy of gorgeous topless dancers. And the ladies of “Fantasy” aren’t the only bodies drawing crowds at the Luxor. “Bodies…The Exhibition” features 21 whole-body specimens in various poses, preserved using a method known as polymer preservation.
Cirque du Soleil has also brought its own brand of magic to the Luxor in conjunction with “Mindfreak” magician Criss Angel. In “Criss Angel MINDFREAK LIVE!,” you’ll be mesmerized by a surreal world where it’s often difficult to tell what’s real from what’s imaginary.
Indoor walkways make it easy to visit the Luxor’s surrounding hotels, leading south through The Shoppes at Mandalay Place to the Mandalay Bay and north to the Excalibur. A free tram also links the three properties.
Please note all of the hotel rooms are non-smoking. There is a $300 cleaning fee for guests who smoke in any of the rooms.
Self-parking fees are: Free for less than one hour; $5 for 1 to 2 hours, $8 for 2 to 4 hours, $10 for 4 to 24 hours. Valet fees: $10 for 0 to 4 hours; $15 for 4 to 24 hours. Parking fees repeat for each 24-hour period. The parking fee for registered hotel guests includes in-out privileges within the same parking type (self or valet) across all MGM Resorts hotels (subject to availability).
From Egypt to France to Greece, pyramids have dazzled and amazed onlookers in both ancient and modern times. The Luxor in Las Vegas is no different.
