During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Scandia Family Fun Center
This family-amusement center, located just a few blocks off the Strip, is still the most viable alternative for those who need to amuse children not quite old enough for GameWorks, or for those on a tighter budget. Certainly it's where local families come for outings, and they keep the batting cages hopping ($1.25 for 25 pitches). The arcade is a bit warm and stinky, and other parts (including miniature-car racing and bumper boats, $4 per ride; small children ride free with an adult) are a bit worn, but the miniature-golf course (three 18-hole courses, $5.50 per game, free for children under 6) is quite cute. Still, we do have to wonder about those round-the-clock hours; we certainly hope those playing miniature golf at 4am are not parents accompanied by children.
Excalibur
As you might expect, the Excalibur casino is replete with suits of armor, stained-glass panels, knights, dragons, and velvet and satin heraldic banners, with gaming action taking place beneath vast iron-and-gold chandeliers fit for a medieval castle fortress. This all makes it fine for kitsch-seekers, but anyone who hates crowds or is sensitive to noise will hate it. The overall effect is less like a castle and more like a dungeon. One of us won a lot of money here and refused to share it with the other, so our final judgment about the casino is, well, mixed. Excalibur is now part of Mandalay Resorts' One Club slot-reward program, which is also valid at Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Circus Circus, and others.
The Golden Gate
This is one of the oldest casinos in Downtown, and though its age is showing, it's still fun to go there. As you might expect from the name, old San Francisco artifacts and decor abound (think earthquake time). At one end of the narrow casino is the bar, where a piano player performs ragtime jazz, which is better than the homogenized pop offered in most casino lounges. Unfortunately, the low ceiling, dark period wallpaper, and small dimensions give this a high claustrophobia level.
Fairfield Inn by Marriott
This pristine property is a pleasant place to stay. It has a comfortable lobby with sofas and armchairs, where coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are provided free all day. Rooms are cheerful. Units with king-size beds have convertible sofas, and all accommodations offer well-lit work areas with desks; TVs have free movie channels as well as pay-movie options. Local calls are free. Breakfast pastries, fresh fruit, juice, and yogurt are served free in the lobby each morning, and many restaurants are within easy walking distance.
Luxor Las Vegas
Another hotel that thrills us to our very kitsch-worshipping souls. How happy you, who share our aesthetic taste -- or lack thereof -- will be when you behold the main hotel, a 30-story onyx-hued pyramid, complete with a really tall 315,000-watt light beam at the top. (The Luxor says that's because the Egyptians believed their souls would travel up to heaven in a beam of light. We think it's really because it gives them something to brag about: "The most powerful beam on earth!") You'll be giddy when you spy replicas of Cleopatra's Needle and the Sphinx gracing the outside. And when you get inside, and see the towering statues of Ramses and overhear the talking animatronic camels, well, you might not care that the lobby tries also to be classy, vaguely Art Deco (influenced by Egyptian Revival, remember) marble and cherrywood. No, you'll just want to ride the 39-degree high-speed inclinators -- that's what an elevator is when it works inside a pyramid. (Really, they are part conveyance, part thrill ride -- check out that jolt when they come to a halt!) Great fun, the Luxor, you can gather. Not as impressive as the real landmarks in the real Egypt, of course. But you knew that.Once you stop laughing (or screaming) at what greets you, you should be quite pleased with this hotel. Rooms in the pyramid open onto the vast center that contains the casino -- indeed, ground-level rooms open more or less right into the action (though many of these have been turned into offices), so if you want only a short drunken stumble back to your room, these are for you. Otherwise, ask for a room higher up. The pyramid rooms cross Egyptian kitsch with Art Deco stylings, including gleaming inlaid wood furniture and a hilarious hieroglyphic bedspread. Marvelous views are offered through the slanted windows (the higher up the better, of course), but the bathrooms are shower-only, no tubs. Tower rooms (an expansion put additional rooms in a tower rather than another pyramid. Drat!) are even heavier on the Egyptian motif (with huge armoires housing the TVs and closet space), pleasing in a campy way but not as aesthetically successful. The bathrooms, however, including deep tubs, are better, so it might be a worthwhile trade-off. Regardless of which room you get, these are some of the few rooms in Las Vegas that stand out. You know you are in the Luxor when you find yourself surrounded by unique, charming room design, as opposed to the cookie-cutter room decor usually found elsewhere in town. Especially desirable is a group of suites with glamorous Art Deco elements, private sitting rooms, refrigerators, and, notably, whirlpools by the window (enabling you to soak under the stars at night).The Luxor's Pharaoh's Pheast buffet offers a cool archaeological-dig atmosphere. The hotel's high-tech nightclub Ra is a happening nightspot. Two notable attractions here are King Tut's Tomb & Museum and the Luxor IMAX Theater.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 10 restaurants; 5 outdoor pools; health club and spa; 18,000-sq.-ft. video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
California Hotel/Casino & RV Park
This is a hotel with a unique personality. California-themed, it markets itself mostly in Hawaii, and since 85% of its guests are from the Aloha State, it offers Hawaiian entrees in several of its restaurants and even has an on-premises store specializing in Hawaiian foodstuffs. You'll also notice that dealers are wearing colorful Hawaiian shirts. The rooms, however, reflect neither California nor Hawaii; they have mahogany furnishings and attractive marble bathrooms.
