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.
The restaurants here are among the town’s most popular. The extensive menu at The Angry Butcher, featuring huge steaks with all the fixin’s is as delicious as they come. T.G.I. Friday’s has an outpost in Sam’s Town, as do several fast food eateries including McDonald’s, Panda Express and Subway.
The free “Sunset Stampede,” a dancing waters and laser show, dazzles crowds nightly. Dozens of other amenities — including a 56-lane bowling center, an 18-screen movie theater, an arcade, Gatsby’s Salon and the Sam’s Town Live entertainment complex — serve only to complement what is still one of the most popular locals’ casinos, with three separate floors of round-the-clock gaming action, a fine race and sports book, a lively bingo hall and a poker room.
Among the hotel amenities are free daily shuttle service to the Strip and downtown, a pool, laundry services and a rental car desk. There are even two RV parks with a total of more than 500 spacious spots.
It may not be on the Strip or in the heart of downtown, but Sam’s Town is still every bit the quintessential Las Vegas experience. Missing this resort is to miss the frontier spirit that built Las Vegas from the dust in the first place.
**Construction on the hotel will commence on May 29 and last until October 1, 2017. Don’t be alarmed if you hear a little more noise than usual. 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.**
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.

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.

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.

On the atrium-level, entertainment abounds.

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.

All of this memorabilia just scratches the surface of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s devotion to the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.

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.

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.
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.
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.

You may not believe your eyes upon encountering a tropical oasis in the desert, but this hotel is no mirage — it’s The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. Timeless beauty, tropical surroundings and exceptional service make The Mirage one of the most beloved hotels in the city.
Guests who stay at The Mirage feel like they’ve escaped to the islands. Outside the hotel are beautiful waterfalls and The Mirage Volcano.

Fremont Street Experience may boast the brightest lights, but the iconic Four Queens Hotel & Casino is a star in its own right.
