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. Upon entering the iconic property, visitors hear the soothing sounds of more waterfalls, smell the exotic flora and can stand on a bridge under a 90-foot-tall glass atrium while taking in the tropical surroundings. You may be in The Mirage, but it feels more like Polynesia.
In the lobby, guests waiting to check in are entertained by the aquatic life in a 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium behind the front desk. Nearly 1,000 forms of marine life, including sharks, stingrays, porcupine fish, eels, sea bass and puffer fish call this place home.
The hotel rooms are nicely appointed, while the beautifully landscaped pool area is the ideal place to spend afternoons. In the warmer months, guests can enjoy VIP service and topless sunbathing at the secluded Bare Pool Lounge. Nearby, the majestic wildcats — tigers, lions and leopards — and playful bottlenose dolphins in Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat feel right at home in their tropical environment. All rooms are non-smoking; keep in mind if you light up, there is a $300 cleaning fee at checkout.
True to its history as a pioneer in the gaming and hospitality industry, The Mirage’s casino is large, easy to navigate and home to thousands of slot machines, dozens of table games and an enormous race and sports book (with an 85-foot-by-16-foot display screen). Contemporary glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly decorate the exclusive Baccarat Lounge and adjacent high-limit lounge.
Numerous restaurants — including the delightful Carnegie Deli, the elegant Japonais, the hip Stack and the spirited Samba Brazilian Steakhouse — await hungry patrons. You can indulge in Chinese cuisine and plenty of seafood at Fin and classic regional dishes of Italy at Portofino. Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak boasts meats prepared entirely over an open flame. The 24-hour Pantry features homespun recipes for things like pancakes, omelets, soups, salads, loaded sandwiches and classic desserts. Plus, eat to your heart’s content at Cravings, a buffet featuring 11 live-action stations representing different culinary regions or cooking styles.
The Mirage spa boasts relaxing body treatments, while the salon and barbershop provide high-quality treatments for the tresses.
Entertainment is second-to-none at The Mirage. The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil causes quite a revolution nightly inside its custom-built theater with 360-degree seating.
Celebrity impressionist and ventriloquist Terry Fator is a big draw among visitors of all ages, thanks to the fun he has onstage with his puppets — Walter T. Airdale, Emma Taylor and Winston the Impersonating Turtle. The Aces of Comedy series also hosts some of the biggest names in the funny business.
Ladies men Boyz II Men also play the Terry Fator Theatre Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, making Motownphilly groove in Vegas.
The Mirage boasts one of the Strip’s hottest nightclubs: the NYC import 1 Oak Las Vegas. Or head outdoors to Rhumbar, a casual cocktail and cigar lounge, to enjoy the cool mood of the Caribbean and amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip. The Lobby Bar at the front entrance of The Mirage, near the tropical atrium, is also a a prime spot for refreshing cocktails, people watching and socializing.
Rounding out the experience is plenty of shopping and more than 170,000 square feet of convention space. Guests can also easily hop on an air-conditioned tram for a free ride to the neighboring Treasure Island.
With its many offerings, The Mirage sets a high standard for itself and for every other luxury hotel in Vegas.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Mirage. The room was very nice and clean and they knew that it was my birthday and my view was awesome! The Boyz II Men concert at the Mirage topped the celebration off. No issues at all. A great place to stay!

Lucky Dragon Hotel & Casino is Las Vegas’ first casino resort designed from the ground up to create an authentic Asian cultural and gaming experience. The resort, located at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, is scheduled to open late 2016. Features of the property include a nine-story hotel with 204 rooms, of which 24 are suites; 27,500 square feet of casino space with an emphasis on table games including Baccarat and Pai Gow as well as slots, a high limit gaming area known as the Emerald Room and a luxurious VIP gaming parlor; a pool designed to create an oasis garden escape for hotel guests; a spa with four treatment rooms including reflexology and acupuncture; an indoor-outdoor Tea Garden featuring an extensive list of tea curated by Las Vegas’ only tea sommelier; five Asian-inspired restaurant concepts; and staff and signage to accommodate guests from throughout Asia as well as English-speaking guests.
Arguably one of the hippest, most rollicking joints in town, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino houses Vegas’ hottest concert venue and pool complex along with some chic nightspots, restaurants and retail outlets.
It’s all about the music here. From guitar-shaped door handles to a saxophone chandelier, every element of the resort worships at the altar of rock. The coolest collection of music memorabilia is enshrined on its walls and along its hallways. Check out jackets from Aerosmith, the Ramones and U2. There are also motorcycles, drum kits, countless autographed guitars and outrageous costumes worn by Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Elton John, Joan Jett and Billy Idol.
All of this memorabilia just scratches the surface of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s devotion to the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The entire resort — from the original structure built in 1995 to the all-suite HRH Tower added on in 2010 — has a hedonistic atmosphere reminiscent of a backstage bacchanal. At night, the casino’s Luxe Bar serve as ground zero for the parade of beautiful people. Vanity nightclub is also here, but is only open to public for special events and parties. It sports decadent décor elements including hand-cut crystals, rubbed brass and black chrome.
The resort’s crowning achievement, however, is The Joint. Steely Dan, the Ramones, Sting, Green Day, Ringo Starr, Duran Duran, Ozzy Osbourne, the Rolling Stones and many more smoked the original venue. A larger, state-of-the-art concert facility by the same name has since opened to carry the torch. It seats 4,000 people and offers a sound, lighting and video system that puts all others to shame. A smaller live music venue called Vinyl has also opened its doors. Emanating a speakeasy atmosphere, it has an industrial look and features a variety of bands.
Outside, the pool area, dubbed “Beachlife” and consisting of three separate pools (Nirvana Pool, Breathe Pool and Paradise Beach) is lush beyond belief with sandy beaches, tropical palms, private cabanas and swim-up blackjack, all accommodating the bronzed bodies who have made it the place to see and be seen. During the summer, the best revelry in the city takes place at Rehab. The Hard Rock Hotel originated this ultimate daytime pool party, where guests enjoy something akin to spring break debauchery.
Dining runs the gamut at the resort — from cosmopolitan to classic yet cutting edge. For instance, Nobu serves up modern Japanese cuisine and Fú has a unique fusion of Asian fare, while 35 Steaks + Martinis offers a cutting-edge take on traditional steakhouse cuisine. Culinary Dropout, a trendy gastropub by Sam Fox, provides another fabulous eating experience. Pink Taco cooks up Mexican favorites with a California flair. Plus, Mr. Lucky’s Café is the ultimate 24-hour coffee shop with a modern attitude. You never know who will walk in after a concert, and the off-the-menu special (the $7.77 plate of steak and shrimp) is sure to satisfy any meat-lover’s appetite.
Body-conscious guests will be pleased to discover a fully equipped fitness center, one that is much larger than you’d usually find at a hotel gym. Relaxation is also on the menu at the Reliquary Spa. With treatments like a Russian deep tissue massage, an Asian healing massage, a Turkish ritual and a Fijian body scrub, you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled all around the world.
Truly a Vegas original, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino must be seen — and heard — to be believed. For the young, hip and trendy, this is an ideal place to kick off your Vegas party.

Take one step onto the fountain-fronted property at Bellagio Las Vegas, and you will instantly find yourself transported to an elegant European resort, replete with lavish rooms, award-winning restaurants and a luxurious spa, all the while surrounded by works from the world’s most renowned artists.
From the natural light bathing the lobby through glass ceilings to the fresh flowers and trees of the Bellagio Conservatory and Gardens, whose displays change five times a year, everything about Bellagio tells you that you’re not in Las Vegas anymore.
Dining devotees will not only be pleased with Bellagio’s first-rate dining options — they will be absolutely dazzled. From the AAA Five-Diamond Award-winning fare of both Le Cirque and Picasso (Bellagio is the only North American resort to house two Five Diamond award-winning restaurants under one roof), the only dining problem you’ll find at Bellagio is how to choose amongst the amazing selection. Celebrated chef Julian Serrano’s restaurant Lago has a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio and features creative small plates and a sophisticated mixology program. Casual eats are also available at Café Bellagio, Noodles and The Buffet. And guests can enjoy sweet treats at Café Gelato and the Palio Café.

Some even offer incredible views of the spectacular Fountains of Bellagio show, a magnificent ballet of dancing waters choreographed to music and lights, in the manmade lake.
All of this excess is balanced by the more delicate delights at Bellagio: the succulent pastries of Jean Philippe Pâtisserie, the expansive balconies overlooking the resort’s meticulously-landscaped pools and the rare and treasured art featured in the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.
Plus, nightlife is a notch above the rest with the elevated service and unique surroundings at The Bank and Hyde Bellagio, an indoor/outdoor venue that overlooks the Fountains of Bellagio.

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.

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.**
The Eastside Cannery is the second Cannery brand casino in Las Vegas. Complementing the North Las Vegas hotel, the Eastside Cannery stays true to its historic past.

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.

Described as the crown jewel of the 67-acre urban metropolis CityCenter, Aria Resort & Casino flaunts an illustrious list of firsts for the Las Vegas Strip and beyond. It’s not only the largest hotel in the world to earn the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’s Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, but it also features the most technologically advanced guest rooms in the country.

Among Aria’s other offerings are the The Spa & Salon and a 215,000-square-foot pool deck. Liquid Pool Lounge is also a great spot during the summer for daytime indulgence in a party-like atmosphere.
Architecturally unique and sustainable in its design, Aria promises impeccable hospitality and personalized service. Expansive spaces like a three-story lobby are complemented by the warm, intimate décor elements of reclaimed wood and native stone.
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.

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.
Just minutes from the dramatic red cliffs of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, as well as the exciting action of the Las Vegas Strip, no other resort in Las Vegas capitalizes on its location quite like this one. Along with all the amenities of a highly-rated hotel and casino, this contemporary desert retreat also offers an Adventure Spa program with outdoor activities including river rafting and guided hikes.
This is a high-end, boutique-style property, similar to its sister property, Green Valley Ranch. From its flowing design and unique architecture to its flawless incorporation of state-of-the-art technology, the AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort rivals many of the major resorts on the Strip, while also maintaining its local appeal.
LCD screens scattered throughout Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa display ads and restaurant menus, while modern light fixtures brighten the 87,000-square-foot casino floor. Tiled pathways surrounding the gaming areas provide a clear cut route to the many hot spots within this red-hot spot. The design also reflects the natural beauty of the area, incorporating materials like marble, onyx, wood, red patent crocodile leather and red sandstone indigenous to Red Rock Canyon. There are more than 3.1 million Swarovski and Preciosa crystals (measuring 99 miles) throughout the resort.
The property features 800 guest rooms and suites, as well as seven penthouse-level suites. Even the standard guest room here is anything but. Every room boasts breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows, either of the city or Red Rock Canyon. Luxury linens, two flat-screen televisions, wireless internet access and an iPod docking station are among the conveniences available to guests, while the marble bathrooms include both a deep soaking tub and a separate shower.
Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa’s separate resort entrance allows those staying at the hotel to avoid dragging their suitcases through the busy casino. Tinted red glass doors add a glamorous hue to the lobby, where there’s a 32-foot-long crystal chandelier.
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.

Downtown Grand is located on Third Street between Stewart and Ogden avenues in downtown Las Vegas, just steps from The Mob Museum and two blocks from Fremont Street Experience as well as a short stroll from the hip bar scene in the Fremont East Entertainment District. The hotel is also less than a mile from shopping at the Las Vegas Premium Outlets – North and cultural events at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
Downtown Grand is comprised of two towers — the 17-story Casino Tower (east) and the 25-story Grand Tower (west), which are joined by an elevated walkway. Together, they house nearly 630 rooms and suites that range in size from 350 to 1,200 square feet. All of them provide sophisticated and stylish accommodations for downtown visitors. Guests will also enjoy flat-screen high-definition TVs with cable channels, Serta Presidential pillowtop mattresses, down pillows, alarm clocks, work desks and convenient standard and USB power outlets. The bathrooms are contemporary with either showers or combined shower/tubs as well as hair dryers and environmentally friendly amenities.
Among Downtown Grand’s dining offerings is a stylish bistro called the Freedom Beat. The Ninth Island, a shave ice and daiquiri bar from Hawaii, has also set up shop on this side of the Pacific Ocean.
Another inventive culinary concept at Downtown Grand is The Commissary, which features communal seating and an outdoor patio. Also open on a seasonal basis is The Pool Deck. In addition to an outdoor pool with a fire pit and cabanas, there is a bar, a lunch menu and park-like landscaping.
At night, you’ll find a lively scene in Downtown Grand’s casino bar Furnace or the Art Bar, which also serves small bites.
The 30,000-square-foot casino floor at Downtown Grand features an industrial chic décor and cool brick façade. It houses more than 600 state-of-the-art slot machines and 30 table games.
And that’s not all. Downtown Grand is at the heart of a much bigger neighborhood: the 10-acre, four-block district known as Downtown3rd, aka “dt³.” Downtown3rd aims to offer visitors and locals a pedestrian-friendly, entertainment-oriented experience. Presently, it consists of the cool drinking and dining joints Triple George Grill, Hogs & Heifers Saloon and Pizza Rock.
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.
Down-home attitude and Wild West charms make Arizona Charlie’s Decatur popular with locals and tourists. Good food, comfortable rooms, popular lounge acts and a poker room make this hotel an all-around winner.
More than just a “neighborhood casino” on Las Vegas’ west side, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur is almost revolutionary in nature. Not only does it boast a huge 24-hour bingo parlor, but it also houses an enclosed non-smoking slot area. Along with a race and sports book and keno lounge, gamblers can try their luck on 12 exciting table games.
Of course, there’s much more to Arizona Charlie’s Decatur than its lively casino. Live entertainment in the Naughty Ladies’ Saloon rules almost every night of the week, ranging from popular lounge acts to the occasional national country and classic rock bands. Dining here is also a rich experience, whether you choose the elegant cuisine in Ron’s Steakhouse, the many of options of Charlie’s Market Buffet or just the comfort food of the Sourdough Cafe.
Accommodations are comfortable and affordable. Guests can take advantage of a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, arcade and gift shop too.
As friendly and willing to please as the cowpoke it was named for, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur is one of Las Vegas’ safe bets.
