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.
The Four Queens
The Four Queens is New Orleans-themed, with late-19th-century-style globe chandeliers, which make for good lighting and a low claustrophobia level. It's small, but the dealers are helpful, which is one of the pluses of gambling in the more manageably sized casinos.The facility boasts the world's largest slot machine: More than 9 feet high and almost 20 feet long, six people can play it at one time! It's the Mother of all giant slot machines, and frankly, it intimidates even us. Here is also the world's largest blackjack table (it seats 12 players). The Reel Winners Club offers slot players bonus points toward cash rebates. Slot, blackjack, and craps tournaments are frequent events, and there are major poker tournaments every January and September. The casino also offers exciting multiple-action blackjack (it's like playing three hands at once with separate wagers on each).
Star Trek: The Experience
It goes without saying that hard-core Trekkers (note use of correct term) will be delighted. On the other hand, normal, sensible fans, and those who couldn't care less about Star Trek, may find themselves saying, "I spent $25 and 2 hours in line for this?"This is the undisputed champ in the Vegas motion-simulator ride category. You can't fault the setup and interior design; after a walk through a space-themed casino (check out those light-beam-activated slot machines!), your long wait in line will be somewhat entertaining, thanks to memorabilia (displayed as if this were the stuff of fact, not fiction) and TVs showing various Trek clips. As you make your way to the ride proper, you encounter actors dressed in Trek gear, who let you know that you've crossed the line into the Trek future.There is a story line, but we won't spoil it for you. Suffice it to say it involves time travel and evil doings by the Borg, and if all doesn't work out, the very history of Star Trek could be affected. Do expect to be beamed aboard the Enterprise (that's really kind of cool), and know that if you have a sensitive stomach, you can skip the actual motion-simulator part, a wild and sometimes headache-inducing chase through space. The brand new Borg Invasion 4-D is a 3-D film starring several Star Trek Voyager cast members, and since it's "multimedia" there are more live actors, plus some surprises as the film plays (we don't want to give much away, but be prepared to have your anatomy unexpectedly poked). It is as well designed as the original portion, and does give this attraction added value for the money. It will also send most Trekkers into orbit with happiness. In addition to the often-lengthy wait (on average, 20 min.; best shot at a slight lull would be noon-1pm on weekdays), the quality of your experience can vary depending on the quality of those Trek-garbed actors, whose line delivery can be awfully stilted. On the way out, through the shops selling everything Trek- and space-related (go ahead, get that Tribble you've always wanted), don't miss the TV showing a "news report" about some of the very things you just experienced.
Bonnie Springs Motel
This is really a hoot; a funky, friendly little place in the middle of nowhere -- except that nowhere is a gorgeous setting. The motel is in two double-story buildings and offers regular rooms, "Western" rooms, "specialty theme" rooms, and kitchen suites.Where to begin? Here, the theme is expressed mostly through the use of fabrics, personally decorated by the owner, who did a pretty nice job. The "gay 1890s" room is done in black and pink, with a lace canopy over the bed, an old-fashioned commode, and liberal use of velvet. The American Indian room uses skins and feathers, and has a bearskin-covered burl-wood chair. You get the idea. The "Western" rooms have more burl-wood furniture and electric-log fireplaces that blow heat into the room.All special theme rooms (aka fantasy suites) have mirrors over the beds and big whirlpool tubs in the middle of the room (not in the bathrooms) and come with bottles of champagne (the empties of which you can see littering the road on your way out). All the rooms are quite large, though long and narrow, and have private balconies or patios, and mountain views. There are also large family suites with fully equipped kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms (with convertible sofas), and dressing areas; these are equipped with two phones and two TVs and are available for long-term rentals (many of the people who work at Old Nevada actually rent these as apartments). Videotapes and players are available for rental, and there is even a tiny train that takes you around the grounds and on a short tour of the desert.The Bonnie Springs Ranch Restaurant has a lot of character and is a perfect family place. It's heavily rustic (stone floors, log beams, raw wooden chairs made from tree branches, lanterns, a roaring fire in winter, and plenty of dead animals adorning the walls). It's a bit touristy, but small-town touristy. The food is basic -- steak, ribs, chicken, burgers, and potato skins; pancakes and eggs for breakfast; it's all greasy but good. There is a cozy bar attached to the restaurant, its walls covered with thousands of dollar bills with messages on them -- a classic neighborhood bar, if it were actually in a neighborhood.
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.
Golden Nugget
The Golden Nugget opened in 1946 as the first building in Las Vegas constructed specifically for casino gambling. Steve Wynn, who is basically responsible for the "new" Vegas hotel look, took the Golden Nugget over as his first major project in Vegas in 1973. He gradually transformed the Old West/Victorian interiors (typical for Downtown) into something more high rent; marble and brass gleam, and the whole package seems considerably more resortlike and genuinely luxurious, especially for downtown Vegas. The sunny interior spaces are a welcome change from the Las Vegas tradition of dim artificial lighting. Don't forget their mascot (well, it ought to be): the world's largest gold nugget. The Hand of Faith nugget weighs in at 61 pounds, 11 ounces, and is on display for all to see.If the decor of The Mirage sounds appealing to you and you want to stay Downtown, come here, because until recently the same people owned them and the rooms look almost identical -- in fact, when The Mirage redid its rooms from a beige palette to a more vividly hued one, the Golden Nugget had the exact same remodel. In the North Tower, the rooms are slightly larger than in the South (and also slightly larger than at The Mirage). You don't have to walk through the casino to get to your room, but you do have to walk a distance to get to the pool. During the winter, they put up a pavilion over part of the pool-deck space to allow for more interior space. The presence of the pool, and general overall quality, makes this the best hotel Downtown for families; the other Downtowners seem geared toward the much older set and/or the single-minded gambler set.The Nugget's superb buffets and Sunday brunch are described in chapter 6. Oh, and yes, there is a casino (don't think they'd forget that!).The Nugget's top-rated health club ($15-per-day fee to use the facilities) offers a full line of Universal equipment, Lifecycles, stair machines, treadmills, rowing machines, free weights, steam sauna, tanning beds, and massage. Salon treatments include everything from leg waxing to seaweed-mask facials. Free Sebastian products are available for sprucing up afterward. The spa's opulent Palladian-mirrored foyer is modeled after a room in New York's Frick Museum.Note: As this guide went to press, MGM MIRAGE sold the Golden Nugget and there were no indications for the new owners' specific plans for the property.
