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 Plaza Las Vegas, which anchors the west end of Fremont Street Experience, has a lot to offer visitors in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.
The property boasts an energetic casino packed with modern and classic gaming choices. Test your luck at blackjack, roulette and craps or head to the poker room where there are three automated PokerPro tables. There are also 500 slot and video poker machines on the spacious casino floor.
At the Plaza, William Hill operates the race and sports book, which has an extensive wagering menu and more than 75 screens for viewing all the big games. On the resort’s third floor, you’ll find downtown’s only bingo room.
Plus, there are good restaurants and enjoyable entertainment at the Plaza. Pizza enthusiasts need to grab a slice at Pop Up Pizza. This eatery’s hand-tossed pies are made with the freshest ingredients — and there are vegan and vegetarian options too! Oscar’s is a steakhouse named for Oscar Goodman, the city’s former mayor. It’s situated in the resort’s iconic dome. Along with a fabulous view of Fremont Street, Oscar’s features steaks cooked on a 600-degree grill and serves hand-crafted cocktails, including Goodman’s signature martini.
Guests can also get hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner fare at Hash House A Go Go. Quick eats can be found at the food court, which is home to Zaba’s Mexican Grill, Cafelatte, Subway and McDonald’s. Plus, there’s the indoor/outdoor Bier Garten, which offers German-inspired food, microbrews and imported beers on tap in a relaxed garden setting.
Entertainment at the Plaza is sure to touch your funny bone as comedians and other variety acts are showcased here.
The Plaza has 1,003 rooms with flat-screen TVs, a hair dryer and an iron/ironing board. Other amenities include a rooftop pool, a business kiosk and a fitness room. Marriage-minded guests should check out the wedding chapel, and more than 22,000 square feet of space is available for conventions, meetings and special events.
A historic property, the Plaza sits in downtown Las Vegas at the site of the city’s first train depot. Today, after a contemporary makeover, it’s still a hub of activity for visitors.
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. Hanging above the table games are antique fixtures from the Coca-Cola Building in Austin, Texas. There is stained glass from singer/actress Lillian Russell’s mansion. The hotel offers a brochure so you can take your own self-guided tour to discover the treasures that await throughout the property.
Without a doubt, however, the star attraction is the Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery. With oysters, sushi, gourmet pizzas and garlic herb french fries that simply can’t be beat, there are plenty of great tastes to accompany the establishment’s handcrafted brews.
Main Street Station also boasts one of the best buffets around. The Garden Court Buffet has a one-of-a-kind atmosphere (imagine a vaulted ceiling with countless chandeliers and ceiling fans) paired with every culinary delight imaginable.
After eating, one has a wide range of options available: enjoying the 28,000-square-foot casino, wandering over to Fremont Street for the spectacular light and sound shows, or retiring to one of more than 400 luxurious, wood-accented rooms.
True to its name, Main Street Station is one of downtown’s main attractions. Whether visiting or staying overnight, a lengthy stop here isn’t only recommended but also unavoidable, and for the best possible reasons.
A 24-hour party atmosphere reverberates through the vibrant red, purple and blue neon towers of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, where large suites, ample entertainment and popular dining combine for the ultimate off-Strip experience.
Meals at the Rio are as exciting and rich as the colorful surroundings. One of the most beloved buffets in Las Vegas — the Carnival World & Seafood Buffet — delivers on its moniker, offering the delicious fare of just about every ethnicity. Another must-try eatery in the Rio includes KJ Dim Sum & Seafood Chinese Restaurant. Hash House A Go Go has a home-style atmosphere. It serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner items that are delivered in oversized portions.
No Vegas vacation would be complete without a show, so take in the sleight-of-hand and gross-out grand illusions of magical duo Penn & Teller. Ladies will find it hard to keep their hands to themselves when the well-greased male dancers of Chippendales rip off one tank top after another. And men will also be enthralled with the beautiful ladies and sexy choreography in the topless revue “X Rocks.”
The all-male wait staff at Flirt Lounge, located in the lobby of the Chippendales Theatre, keeps the “Ultimate Girls Night” experience going strong with its full menu of exotic concoctions. Both men and women will delight in amazing views of Las Vegas from the VooDoo Rooftop Nightclub, located on the 51st story of the resort’s Masquerade Tower. High-tech fun and cool cocktails also await in the iBar.

The vibrant 100,000-square-foot casino floor features more than 1,200 slots, all the favorite table games, poker room, race and sports book and keno lounge. The resort also plays host to the main event of the World Series of Poker each year.
Although you may be in town to party, the staff here takes customer service very seriously, and the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction has earned it national praise. The suite-sized rooms are also among the largest in town, with amenities ranging from a refrigerator to an in-room safe.
The Rio’s pool area, which includes a sandy beach, looks and feels like a tropical paradise, and the Rio Spa & Salon will soothe your senses after a long night of dancing. The Rio offers shopping in Masquerade Village and throughout the property as well.
The VooDoo Zip Line, an 800-foot zip ride, adds more excitement at the resort. Taking off from the VooDoo Rooftop Nightclub, located atop the hotel’s 50-story Masquerade Tower, guests can cascade toward the Ipanema Tower, reaching speeds up to 33 miles per hour while enjoying beautiful views of the Las Vegas Strip.
So get in the Carnaval spirit and head to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Like its namesake in South America, this is a true cidade maravilhosa — a marvelous city — in the middle of the desert.
Locals know the truth about Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino. Situated near the Strip and hotspots like the Hard Rock Hotel and “restaurant row,” it boasts an ideal location. In fact, it’s one of the friendliest establishments in Las Vegas.
The casino is smaller than many of its Strip counterparts, but modern and absolutely loaded with amenities. It includes a William Hill Race & Sports Book with leather chairs, table games, a 195-seat bingo room and countless slot and video poker machines.
Wrought iron chandeliers hang from the ceilings, and flowered ivy decorates the faux-finished walls in the casino. There are two lively bars: a sports bar and the Corona Cantina with a stage where live entertainment is often featured.
The Sterling Spoon Cafe, a wonderful 24-hour coffee shop, can curb any craving with everything from American to Mexican and Chinese favorites — as well as breakfast any time of the day. You can also indulge in a more upscale steak and seafood menu with fine spirits in The Back Room at The Sterling Spoon on Friday and Saturday nights. The S7 Buffet is another affordable option offering themed dinners seven nights a week. P.F.

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.

It’s all waiting for fortune seekers to discover! Low-ante tables bustle with budding gamblers who want to ease into things slowly.

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

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.

Other fine dining options are Fleur by Hubert Keller and the creative Japanese cuisine of Akira Black at Kumi Japanese Restaurant and Bar.

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.

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.

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.
Dining spans the globe with more than 10 restaurants, including the fine steaks at the T-bones Chophouse and Lounge or a bit of everything at the Feast Buffet. Great burgers and other popular American fare is on the menu in the Yard House. Plus, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que has huge portions of delicious Southern-style barbecue, Hearthstone prepares rustic American kitchen fare and The Wiener’s Circle is a Chicago-style hot dog stand that also serves fresh cut fries, milkshakes and breakfast all day long. And chef Andy Vu, who originally comes from Saigon, Vietnam, has created an approachable Asian fusion menu at 8 Noodle Bar with touches of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisines.

Just six miles from the Strip, Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall is nestled in the shadow of the Sunrise Mountains in Las Vegas and boasts more than 600 rooms, decorated in a Southwestern theme.
Taking what was a calculated risk for 1979, father and son Sam and Bill Boyd opened Sam’s Town. Their goal was to create an environment where locals would feel comfortable playing. More than three decades in business, Sam’s Town has become an indispensable stop for locals and visitors alike.
Rooms are built around a truly spectacular indoor atrium, Mystic Falls Park, that must be seen to be believed. With a nine-story glass roof and a 25,000-square-foot indoor area filled with trees, waterfalls and footpaths, it is one of Las Vegas’ unique surprises.

And the Mystic Falls Park will be closed from April 17 – May 17. When you arrive, the front desk will alert you of said construction and will answer any questions you may have.**

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.

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.

There’s also a country club-style race and sports book and a four-table baccarat pit.

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.
