Just a short 10-minute drive from downtown Las Vegas and with easy access to U.S. 95, Arizona Charlie’s Boulder offers reasonably priced rooms and several dining options for locals and tourists alike.
Southwestern architecture greets guests as they enter the resort’s four-story parking garage, as well as the eight three-story buildings featuring more than 300 affordable and comfortable rooms. A landscaped RV park with more than 200 spaces also offers several amenities, including a clubhouse and a dog run.
The casino at Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is expansive with more than 1,000 slot and video poker machines both upstairs and downstairs, as well as table games and a race & sports book. Those who enjoy bingo can get their fix any time of the day or night at one of the city’s only 24-hour bingo parlors.
Guests will dine in comfort at any of the restaurants at Arizona Charlie’s Boulder. Those with empty stomachs can indulge in large breakfast, lunch or dinner portions at the Sourdough Cafe. Other options include the Charlie’s Market Buffet or the rustic Yukon Grille steakhouse, located upstairs near the bingo parlor — while downstairs you’ll find Charlie’s Cheesesteak Deli.
After a hearty meal, grab a drink at one of two bars – Elbow Creek or Jake’s – or sit back and unwind at the Palace Grand Lounge, where free, live musical acts entertain guests in the evenings. There is a pool and hot tub at the hotel and a smaller pool at the RV Park to round out the experience (note: both pools are open seasonally).
As part of the Arizona Charlie’s chain, this hotel-casino provides a great respite on the east side of Las Vegas.
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.
MGM Grand truly lives up to its name, not only in sheer size, but also in its vast offerings. Located at one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas, it provides a world of entertainment, dining and unwinding — both day and night. Recently, the resort completed a $160 million remodel to upgrade all of its rooms and suites, has added a brand new nightclub and several new restaurants.
Entertainment is plentiful with several options in a variety of unique venues. The Cirque du Soleil show “KÀ” takes audiences on a heroic journey that will feel like the latest blockbuster movie. A lineup of renowned performers come to the David Copperfield Theatre, while some of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest acts, from the Rolling Stones to U2, take the stage in the Grand Garden Arena — also home to many highly touted championship boxing events. And Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club offers plenty of laughs.
You have multiple dining choices at the MGM Grand that include the exquisite tastes of Joël Robuchon and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the sophisticated tastes of Fiamma Trattoria or the classic pub fare of Michael Mina Pub 1842. Whether it’s steak and lobster at Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak or the beloved American delights at Avenue Café, you’ll never go hungry here. Plus, you can experience the traditions of different cities in Las Vegas — Hakkasan Las Vegas restaurant offers unique Cantonese-style cuisine with flavors of Hong Kong and Shanghai, try Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House for the tastes of the “Big Easy” or venture over to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill for the tastes of Southern California. The Morton Group, led by restaurateurs Michael and Jenna Morton, opened Crush — a celebration of food, drinks and friends — at the resort, and Hecho en Vegas, serves a wonderful mix of traditional Sonoran cuisine and popular Mexican favorites.
Along with fine dining, there are plenty of places for casual eats — from the MGM Grand Buffet to the ample MGM Grand Food Court and Blizz Frozen Yogurt.
The Lobby Bar offers an extensive cocktail list and Centrifuge lures the crowds at nighttime and well into the early morning hours. Tap Sports Bar serves American favorites for lunch and dinner, but guests can also enjoy 48 draft beers, sports memorabilia and watching games on 60-inch HD TVs.
A multiple-story nightclub venue — Hakkasan Las Vegas — is open for pleasure seekers who want to delight in dancing, drinking and dining. Keep the party going all day long in the summer at the pool club Wet Republic or relax at the Grand Spa, which offers several therapies in more than 20 zen-inspired treatment rooms, far away from the chaos of the casino.
MGM Grand’s enormous casino entices players, with games including blackjack, craps, roulette and an array of slot and poker machines, as well as keno, a baccarat lounge and high-limit slots. The race and sports book offers private skyboxes, a bar and the adjacent Stage Deli. The high-end gaming lounge Whiskey Down has a 64-seat bar that serves up an array of brown spirits and specialty cocktails.
Fun and adventure await guests as well. Aspiring detectives (or those who just like to solve mysteries) can get their hands on the interactive CSI: The Experience. Other attractions on site include a television research studio (CBS Television City) and a pool complex with a 1,000-foot-long lazy river and five outdoor swimming pools.
Shopping is plentiful along The District and in The Underground, two neighborhood-like areas at the resort. You’ll discover glittering jewelry and watches, keepsakes, clothes, sweets and more.
There aren’t many hotels with offerings so grand that it’s practically an entire vacation under one roof. With such a wide variety of things to do and see at the MGM Grand, don’t be the least bit surprised if it takes more than one visit to experience it all.

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.

The Stratosphere’s casino is nearly as impressive an entity as the tower. It’s one of the larger gaming floors in town and is constantly updated with state-of-the-art slot machines and video technology. Plus, there’s an action-packed race and sports book and a 24-hour poker room with eight tables.

After dining at the Top of the World, head upstairs to the Level 107 Lounge. It features live music, great cocktails, appetizers and beautiful views. You can also grab a drink at AirBar on Level 108. You might see an occasional person fly by. Don’t worry, you haven’t had too much alcohol. SkyJump, a great attraction for thrill seekers who aren’t afraid of heights, is also located on Level 108. Adventurous visitors are strapped into a harness, attached to the “descender machine” and step off a narrow platform only to plunge 855 feet straight down.
In addition to SkyJump, the Stratosphere boasts a number of other hair-raising attractions including the Big Shot, a seated, shorter but equally thrilling ride, and X Scream, which extends you over the ledge of the Stratosphere Tower — and leaves you there. The stop is only for a few seconds, but it’s long enough to make you appreciate attractions on the first floor. A fourth ride is called Insanity-The Ride. Nothing more need be said!
After enjoying the day sampling the resort’s many attractions, spend your evening at a show like “MJ Live,” a Michael Jackson tribute.
Shop-aholics will find great deals in the Tower Shops, and those who enjoy being pampered can visit the Roni Josef Salon and Spa. Seasonally, there’s the lovely eighth-floor Level 8 Pool where you can catch some rays on an expansive deck, and the the 25th-floor Radiusº Rooftop Pool & Wet Lounge (closed for the season) where you can enjoy great views and the daily Sunset Happy Hour.
Whether it’s great heights, great attractions or a great show you’re looking for, the Stratosphere has an abundance of amenities to enjoy.
Vegas visitors looking for excitement will find that and more at Harrah’s Las Vegas in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, where a festive atmosphere, diverse entertainment options and an action-packed casino permeate the property.
