During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Gambler's Museum & Shop
From the same folks who brought you the Casino Legends Hall of Fame, it's a smaller version that is only half the size of the gift shop that it accompanies. There are as many as 5,000 pieces of memorabilia associated with casino hotels of a bygone era, but those items include little gewgaws like matchbooks, a variety of old gaming chips, and even toenail clippers. Still, the videos of hotel implosions and the last days of Bugsy Siegel (the owner is particularly proud of his Siegel collection) are fun, and so is browsing among souvenirs of yesteryear -- some of which are for sale in the gift shop, though we would check eBay before buying anything here, as some of the same items can be found there for less. (We found a Vegas-themed board game online for about a quarter of what it was going for at the store.)
Harrah's
A mixed bag of a casino, one that is both dated (low ceilings, old lighting, stuffy) and fun (parts have high enough ceilings, and there are special attractions we will detail in a moment). The main reason to come here are the "party pits," gaming-table areas where dealers are encouraged to wear funny hats, celebrate wins, and otherwise break the usual stern dealer facade. Singing, dancing, and the handing out of party favors have all been known to erupt. (Gambling is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it!) Slot and table-game players can earn bonus points toward complimentary rooms, meals, and show tickets by joining Harrah's Total Rewards in the casino, which is also valid at sister hotel Rio. There are nonsmoking areas (fat lot of good that did, the place reeks of smoke), and free gaming lessons are offered on weekdays.
Marjorie Barrick Museum
Formerly known as the Natural History Museum (as opposed to the existing Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and now you can see why they changed the name), here's a cool place to beat the heat and noise of Vegas, while examining some attractive, if not overly imaginative, displays on Native American crafts and Las Vegas history. Crafts include 19th-century Mexican religious folk art, a variety of colorful dance masks of Mexico, and Native American pottery. The first part of the hall is often the highlight, with impressive traveling art exhibits. Children won't find much that's entertaining other than some glass cases containing examples of local, usually poisonous reptiles (who, if you are lucky -- or unlucky, depending on your view -- will be dining on mice when you drop by). Outside is a pretty garden demonstrating how attractive desert-appropriate plants (in other words, those requiring little water) can be. You just wish the local casinos, with their lush and wasteful lawns, would take notice.
Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower
A really neat idea, in that Vegas way, in a really bad location. At 1,149 feet, it's the tallest building west of the Mississippi. In theory, this should have provided yet another attraction for visitors: Climb (okay, elevator) to the top and gaze at the stunning view. But despite being on the Strip, it's a healthy walk from anywhere -- the nearest casino is the Sahara, which is 5 very long blocks away. This, and possibly the hefty price charged for the privilege of going up to the top of the tower, may have conspired to keep the crowds away.And while the crowds might have been justified before, they -- and by "they," we mean "you" -- might reconsider, especially if you are looking for a friendly place to hang your hat, but nothing more. The smaller-size rooms here are basically motel rooms -- really nice motel rooms, but with that level of comfort and style. Then again, you can often get such a room for around $29 a night. (And do join the casino's players club -- they tend to offer free rooms with more or less minimal play.) Perfect if you are coming to Vegas with no plans to spend time in your room except to sleep (if even that).That isn't to say there aren't other elements to like here, including the aforementioned casino, a midway area with kiddie-oriented rides, a pool with a view, and some of the friendliest, most accommodating staff in town. You can still ride the following incredible thrill rides (provided the wind isn't blowing too hard that day) on top of the tower: the world's highest roller coaster -- aka the High Roller -- (it careens around the outer rim of the tower 909 ft., 108 stories, above ground); the Big Shot, a fabulous free-fall ride that thrusts passengers up and down the tower at speeds of up to 45 mph; and the new X-Scream, a giant teeter-totter-style device that gives you the sensation of falling off the side of the building. Indoor and outdoor observation decks offer the most stunning city views you will ever see, especially at night. For the price, this might be the right place for you. Just remember you need a rental car or a lot of cash for cabs to get to the true thrills down the Strip.In addition to the casino, the hotel also sports two productions shows: American Superstars (an impression-filled production show) and Viva Las Vegas (Las Vegas-style revue), which are reviewed in Nightlife.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; wedding chapel; 11 restaurants; large new pool area with great views of the Strip; children's rides and games located at the base of the tower; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Barbary Coast Hotel & Casino
You can't fault the location of this hotel. It's right on the busiest corner of the Strip, smack in the middle of the action. With all the hotel business (the itty-bitty reception desk and tiny sundries/gift shop counter) set on the fringes of the small, dark, cluttered casino, this is very old Vegas, which is sort of a good thing; but unfortunately, it's becoming harder to wrap one's mind around it in these days of megacasino complexes. Nevertheless, a small hotel is a rare thing in this town, and a face-lift would make the Barbary Coast a nice boutique hotel. Let's encourage them in that direction.Rooms have not-precisely-inviting dark tones (think bordello burgundy) and little sitting areas separated by curtains. King rooms are more spacious. Bathrooms are dinky but not dreary, mattresses are new and thick. Beware: The very loud intersection outside can make rooms noisy.Drai's, an upscale restaurant, is covered in detail in Restaurants. Michael's is the hotel's premier restaurant, with only two seatings a night in an intimate, old-fashioned room. The food gets raves, but the menu is completely dated (chops and the like), so it's best for those with deep pockets who mistrust nouvelle cuisine. Two bars serve the casino.
Tropicana Resort & Casino
As we go to press, the Trop's future remains in doubt. No formal decision has been made, but at press time, the hotel announced it would be open through at least spring 2005. The rumors are it will be torn down and in its place will be erected two miniresorts of 2,000 rooms each. We'd like to say we are sorry -- and in a nostalgic way we are, but really, the Trop has seen better days. Once known for its lavish tropical resort stylings, it's now more than a little worn around the edges, especially when compared with its splashy neighbors. The birds and other wildlife are gone, which makes things a little less messy, but the tacky "Garden rooms" are still around and ought to be demolished ASAP. Gone also is the outside light show.Rooms -- well, think a clean '70s motel room, but a little bit nicer. Unless you're a Jimmy Buffet fan, you are better off staying in the Trop's Paradise Tower, where the rooms are slightly bigger and much easier on the eyes -- mock provincial, to be sure (check out the plaster molding and ceiling cornices -- a curious and welcome little touch) -- but it all appears less shabby and more fresh. Bathrooms are also bigger here, but dull, except for the ones with Jacuzzis. Even without the wildlife, the pool area is among the best around and is the place's biggest draw. Note, however, that their touted swim-up blackjack is seasonal (read: summer only).Calypsos, the 24-hour coffee shop, is a good value, as are the Trop's buffet offerings. There's a good-looking casino, and the Casino Legends Hall of Fame has the largest collection of gaming chips in the world, along with other gambling doodads and ephemera. The showroom currently hosts the Folies Bergère revue.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; wedding chapel; 8 restaurants; 3 outdoor pools; small health club and spa; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
