Start spreading the news: You can vacation in Vegas while staying in New York City. At New York-New York, the ambience of the Big Apple meets the busiest intersection of the Las Vegas Strip. Visitors who stay here can also take advantage of Broadway-caliber entertainment, alluring nightlife and a death-defying roller coaster.
Every single detail of New York-New York harkens back to NYC, starting with the famous skyline. It features 12 room towers designed to re-create the Empire City’s most famous skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Century Building and the Ziggurat Building. Visitors will also discover a 150-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty and a 300-foot-long copy of the Brooklyn Bridge. Plus, the exterior reflects distinctive New York City landmarks like the IRT Power Station, Grand Central Station, the Ellis Island Immigrant Receiving Station and the United Nations Building Assembly Hall.
Speaking of the exterior, there’s a pedestrian-oriented outdoor plaza that runs along the frontage of New York-New York. It includes a mix of shops like Stupidiotic, Swatch and I Love NYNY and restaurants with patios like the Shake Shack, a hugely popular “roadside” burger stand, and Tom’s Urban. A stage is nestled in one end of the Brooklyn Bridge to showcase live bands and other entertainment. A sweet new attraction also stands here — Hershey’s Chocolate World, a flagship two-story store where guests can taste new treats. Its entrance features a towering Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar and an 18-foot Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
Guests can also enjoy a six-acre dining and entertainment district called The Park in the street between New York-New York and Monte Carlo. The Park features Beerhaus, Bruxie, California Pizza Kitchen and Sake Rock. It also connects to the 20,000-seat T-Mobile arena in partnership with AEG.
After exploring the outdoor offerings, step inside to see artistic drink pouring techniques by sexy bartenders at Coyote Ugly or be immersed in Celtic gaiety at Nine Fine Irishmen. The Bar at Times Square boasts its well-loved dueling pianos act at night, and Pour 24 is a contemporary bar with 24 American-made beers on tap.
A veritable city block of fine dining choices reflect the ethnically diverse cuisine from the Bronx to Brooklyn, Queens to Manhattan, Staten Island and beyond. The bakery-fresh bread of Il Fornaio will have you believing you’re in Little Italy, while the atmosphere of Gonzalez y Gonzalez replicates one of NYC’s most popular Mexican cafés. Succulent steak and seafood is prepared at Gallagher’s Steakhouse, which has been a beloved New York City eatery since 1927. Or venture to Greenwich Village for a quick nosh at the Village Eateries, an area of the hotel that offers authentic NYC-style street food such as pizza, kosher pickles, crepes and deli sandwiches.
Upstairs, the Coney Island institution Nathan’s Famous hot dogs fits perfectly inside the Coney Island Emporium, a midway-style arcade with 150 coin-operated games. Also at the amusement center is the Big Apple Coaster. Designed to replicate the classic yellow taxicabs, it’s guaranteed to thrill as it tears around the front of the resort at 67 mph.
For something a little more relaxing treat yourself to a therapeutic body treatment at The Spa at New York-New York. SoHo-style shops, a fitness center and a seasonal pool with cabanas and three hot tubs round out the hotel’s amenities.
Please keep in mind all rooms are non-smoking. If you choose to smoke, there will be a $250 cleaning fee at checkout. The property offers plenty of designated areas, including the casino and various bars.
You don’t have to be Frank Sinatra to sing the praises of New York-New York. With such a perfect location and so much to do, you’ll definitely be able to make a brand new start of it on your Vegas visit.

Innovative water features by WET Design (creators of the Bellagio fountains and Mirage Volcano) greet guests at Aria’s arched porte-cochère. At the center of the driveway, the recycled water of Lumia lights up with bright, vibrant colors as it shoots into arcs and twisting ribbons. The curved 250-feet-long by 24-feet-high water wall, Focus, stretches across the front of the building.
Guests will also be greeted by public art, such as Maya Lin’s sculpture of the Colorado River, “Silver River.” Created from 100 percent reclaimed silver, it flows majestically above the registration desk.
Like the rest of the hotel, the casino utilizes unique earth-friendly initiatives, such as slot machine bases that serve as floor air-conditioning distribution units to effectively cool public spaces from the ground up. Nonsmoking pathways and specialized air curtains help minimize the impact of tobacco smoke on both guests and employees.
Aria has been designed to achieve a 30 percent improvement in energy efficiency. Guests can even “green their stay” by programming a preferred level of light and room temperature, as well as indicating the frequency of their linen and towel changes. The Control4 Suite System allows you to program your personal preferences, thanks to a simple remote control and television control panel.
Even with all the action under Aria’s roof, the CityCenter experience continues outside. The Crystals at CityCenter retail and entertainment district is located just beyond the lobby, while a pedestrian-friendly walkway offers access to Vdara from Aria’s north valet. Getting around the CityCenter complex and to other nearby resorts is easy as well. A tram runs between Bellagio and Monte Carlo with a stop at Crystals.

With a great lineup of entertainment, two floors of gaming, several dining choices, three trendy bars and one of the best vantage points for the Fremont Street Experience light and sound show, The D Las Vegas is a hotspot in downtown.
The resort has a sexy, contemporary vibe. Its moniker — The D Las Vegas — pays tribute to its location in the resurging downtown scene as well as represents the Detroit roots of its owners. CEO Derek Stevens is also called “D” by his friends.
The accommodations (629 rooms and suites) are stylish and comfortable, and the casino floor is modern and vibrant. Gorgeous “Dancing Dealers” make the betting action more exciting.

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.
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.
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.
A shopping promenade connects all areas of the hotel and houses several restaurants, including THE Steak House, a highly touted gourmet room serving Midwestern beef dry-aged to perfection. 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.
There is valet and self-parking. Valet fees: $10 for 0 to 4 hours; $15 for 4 to 24 hours. Self parking will still be free. However, guests visiting other MGM Resort International properties will still have to pay self-parking fees.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).
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.

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.
According to the Travel Channel, the Best Western Plus Casino Royale on the Las Vegas Strip is one of the “best places in the world to strike it rich” – on par with the Kentucky Derby and the Monte-Carlo Casino in Monaco – due to “great odds and low minimums.” Maybe it’s because the Casino Royale offers 100 times odds on craps. The casino also features such table games as roulette, blackjack switch and Caribbean stud, as well as over 500 slot and video poker games (from one-cent to five-dollar pulls), including Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks.
Conveniently located across the street from the Mirage, this hotel offers more than 150 comfortable, affordable accommodations surrounded by the 24/7 sizzle of the Strip.
Stay on the premises for exciting gaming action, and you can enjoy lunch or dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, featuring beautiful views of the Strip. Or feast upon the classic White Castle as well as Denny’s and our food court.

You can unwind with a massage or body wrap in the Hibiscus Spa or de-stress in the Westin workout fitness center, which has LifeFitness and Precor equipment.
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.
Inside, you’ll find bright festive colors, giant Mardi Gras masks hanging from the ceiling and watering holes like the Bourbon Street Cabaret, where you can enjoy a drink and live entertainment.
Of course, Vegas still is very much in evidence with a bustling casino offering slots, video poker and keno machines, a variety of table games, a 19-table nonsmoking poker room that’s open 24 hours a day, and a race and sports book, among its many assets.
The 850-seat Orleans Showroom hosts a mix of big-name bands, singers and comedians. Plus, the state-of-the-art Orleans Arena features concerts, family entertainment and sporting events.

Above all, The Orleans offers the entertainment and distinctive charm of its namesake — a place to trade your blues for rhythm and blues, your scowl for a grin, and a bad day for a great evening. Mardi Gras has begun and will never end here. Don’t be surprised if you end up leaving with multicolored strings of beads around your neck!
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.
Not only is The Cromwell close to many of Vegas’ most popular attractions, but the hotel also boasts 188 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, exceptional hospitality, the first-ever restaurant by chef Giada De Laurentiis and three party-oriented experiences by nightlife visionary Victory Drai.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
