"Planet Hollywood Hotel Casino" coming in Late 2007, Currently
undergoing a $1 BILLION Dollar Renovation.
Features a world-class shopping experience "Desert
Passage", which has raised the bar on shopping in Las Vegas. The
rooms all have high-speed internet access along with cordless phones. We
stayed here in the past, we really enjoyed the stay. Visit the
photo gallery to view pictures of the property. We
enjoyed P.F. Changs, a great China
bistro located facing the strip. |

Vegas! |

** Name Change
"Bill's Gaming Hall & Saloon", now owned by Harrah's. One of the best locations on the Strip! Big rooms,
Reasonable prices. They closed the excellent Michael's restaurant, truly one
of the best on the Strip! |
Bellagio |
888-987-6667
 |
The crown jewel of MGM Mirage Resorts.
I really don't like the feel of the very busy casino. The high-end
restaurants and wonderful art gallery ($12) draws rave reviews. You must
stop at the Conservatory for a view of the wonderful floral display (free).
Cirque du Soleil's "O" is the featured
show, which I hear is quite good. |

30 Years, and still the best! The
new Palace tower opened in 1998 and is extraordinary, we stayed here in
9/99. The are currently adding another new tower that is an exact replica
of the Palace Tower. The petite suite we stayed in on the
27th floor had a great view of the Bellagio fountains and the Paris. The
suite features a five-room bathroom with his/her sink area and toilet area
(with bidet in woman's), a dual-head glass surround shower and a two-person
whirlpool. The room features a large bed, 30" television, nice desk,
over-sized couch and recliner. When staying here, attempt to stay at either
the Palace or Augustine Towers and there is a night and day difference
compared to the numerous older rooms. |

Older, On the north end of the strip, cheap rooms. New tower
now open! Newly remodeled lobby and some rooms. The Adventure
Dome is a great place to take the kids! We still LOVE gambling at
the flea-bag Slot's of Fun casino next door. There is no better place in the
world for first timers to learn to gamble, the last remaining $1 tables on
the strip. |
Excalibur Hotel & Casino |
800-937-7777

With 4,032 rooms,
The property could use a little updating, the casino is very dark and the
sports book does not feature electronic lines. Good Buffet,
Cheap Rooms and right in the middle of all the BIG resorts. Connected to Luxor &
Mandalay Bay via skywalk and tram. The world famous Krispy
Kreme Doughnut Shop is always a great attraction. |

Flamingo |

One of the best locations on the Strip, Near Caesars, Venetian,
Harrah's. Very large property. The incredible pool and grounds make this a
great property for the senior crowd as well. Jimmy Buffett's
Margaritaville is
featured and is one of the best components of the this classic Las
Vegas property. |

Great Location, One of most popular properties in
Las Vegas. The laid back fun casino make playing here a pleasure. The
Harrah's "Total Gold" slot club is one of the best in the industry, with
option of using the slot card in any of the their properties in the US. We
really like the outdoor music on the weekends and the Piano Bar is rockin'
most nights of the week. Look for the new "Toby Keith" themed bar near
the monorail station. |

MGM Grand Hotel & Casino |

 The
biggest resort in the world at 5,034 rooms. Not for the weak hearted, this
resort is so big it takes 15-20 minutes to walk from your room to the Valet.
The rooms can be little overpriced and not worth the hassle of the crowds
and size of the property. The web site features panoramic views of their rooms using Quicktime. The MGM
Grand Garden is the premier venue in Las Vegas to view large shows, not a bad seat in the
house. Home of the Rainforest Cafe and Studio 54 nightclub. |

NYNY Hotel & Casino |

Replica of the New York skyline. 2,035 rooms. Has some very
unique rooms, no two room dimensions are the same. You can tell the
difference between this and a 4 or 5,000 room property. The pool area I
was able to find was rather small and really non-event. Now features
ESPN
Zone, very neat sports themed restaurant, a great place to catch the game
and a quick bite, a must see! The Manhatten Express Roller Coaster  is a must ride, much better than
Stratosphere. Overall a very nice property. Some very good room rates are
available from time-to-time. |

Very nice property, a little
crowded due to it's small size. When you walk in it sounds like winning! We were impressed with the authenticity of
some of the attractions. I have heard very positive comments about the rooms. One of the
most successful new properties on the Strip. Some of their most popular
restaurants include:
Mon Ami Gabi |
| Polo Towers |

Very inexpensive rooms at the Strip relic, the cheapest buffet
on the Strip. They have been pouring money into this property lately. The
property features a great Nascar Cafe along with an interesting roller
coaster! |

New Home of Wayne Newton! Huge resort on the North end of the
Strip, New web site. The overall property is a little dated and on the less
desirable North end of the Strip. |
| Stratosphere |
800-99TOWER
|
Tallest observation tower west of the Mississippi. The tower is
a must see in the first days of your trip. This give a sense of where everything is. Cost
of the tower is $8 and is well worth it. Gambling here is so-so. Never have heard
anything about the rooms here. They just completed a new tower addition. |

THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay |
877-632-7800

The Hotel with the dumbest name but some of the
largest rooms and amenities on the Strip has recently opened adjacent to the
Mandalay Bay. The all-suite property feature 1,120 rooms that start at
725-square-feet. The property also features huge spa and workout facilities. |
TI - Treasure Island Hotel & Casino |

Honestly one of the most under-rated properties in Las Vegas. We love the
upscale, yet affordable elegance of this property. They recently revamped the classic Pirate Show to make it more "adult"
Features the hot Tangerine Lounge & Nightclub with it's Live Burlesque Performances 
and celebrity spotting at The Social House.  Four-Diamond property by AAA.
Checkout "Mystere" , we hear it's
great! ** Photos
of room now available! The best option when in town for a convention
at the Sands Expo, rooms are half the price of Venetian and located just
across the street. |

Beautiful property located
center-strip, very nicely laid-out property with nice wide aisles and high ceilings.
We feel this is the best of latest generation, we love the high-airy feel
of the casino. The
rooms are some of the largest in Las Vegas. Room rates are on the higher end, but deals
can still be had. The attached shopping mall is world-class! Be sure to
visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum,
a great attraction. |

 A resort by Steve Wynn,
Opened in 2005. Located on the site of the former Desert Inn. The
45-story (the tallest tower in Vegas), is 514-foot tall, arc-shaped and is a
copper-colored reflective glass Tower. They feature 2,698 hotel rooms and
suites, a 111,000-square-foot casino, 16 restaurants (including six fine
dining each with an indoor and outdoor experience), three-acre pool, luxury
spa, many brand-name high-end retail stores, The Strip's only 18-hole golf
course and an art gallery. This is the new standard on the strip!!!
This is property is just stunning, the visual design and layout is simply
incredible. Look for
an expansion called "The Encore" to open in 2008. |
