During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Ron Lee's World of Clowns
It's easy to give this one a miss, but you're here, so what the heck. This factory manufactures clown figurines (and other types, most notably Disney figures). The tour itself consists of simply looking in windows as people mold and paint. The real attraction (aside from a beautiful carousel) is the gift shop, with a nearly limitless amount of high-quality figurines, primarily with a clown motif.

Wet 'n' Wild
Before we begin, a warning: At press time, it seemed that Wet 'n Wild was facing imminent doom -- it was due to be torn down to make way for (appropriately) a water-themed resort called Voyagers. We hope they get through at least one more summer. When temperatures soar, head for this 26-acre water park right in the heart of the Strip and cool off while jumping waves, careening down steep flumes, and running rapids. There are a variety of slides and rides, plus a lazy river and a beach for those looking for more sedentary pursuits. The noise level can be extraordinarily high (people have to shout to be heard over the rushing water), so don't think of this as relaxing -- but when it's 108°F (42°C) in the shade, who cares? Also, be on the lookout for discount coupons. Many Las Vegas packages include a free admission (sometimes partial-day).

Luxor IMAX Theater/In Search of the Obelisk
This is a state-of-the-art theater that offers both motion-simulator films and IMAX projects, some in standard two dimensions and one in 3-D. The glasses for the latter are really cool headsets (though they're a little too heavy for comfort) that include built-in speakers, bringing certain sounds right into your head. The movies change periodically but always include some extraordinary special effects. If you have a fear of heights, be sure to ask for a seat on one of the lower levels.In Search of the Obelisk is a motion-simulator ride encompassing an action adventure involving a chase sequence inside a pyramid. Two other less-Egyptian-theme-tie-in simulator rides that also play at the Luxor are Fun House Express and Dracula's Haunted Castle.

Harrah's Las Vegas
Here's another property that is doing its best to keep up with the pace in Vegas, to no great success. Though parts of Harrah's benefited from a reworking of the place a few years ago, the rest of it evokes Old Las Vegas in the way The Riviera does -- as in, dark, dated, and claustrophobic. Still, there is much to like here, and occasional quite good rates might make the so-so bits worth overlooking. Certainly, they want to be the fun and convivial place we wish more of Vegas were (instead of pretty much catering to high rollers and simply tolerating the rest of us with normal budgets). The new monorail stop might be a draw, though, since it will now be easier to get to and from here.Guest rooms are slowly being refurbished -- just in time, as guests were complaining. All the rooms are larger than average; the points that emerge from both the old and the newer tower wings translate inside into an extra triangle of space for a couch and table. Some rooms also contain a kitchen. Spacious minisuites in this section, offering large sofas and comfortable armchairs, are especially desirable.The Range steakhouse is one of the few hotel restaurants that overlooks the Strip, and the hotel's buffet isn't bad. The casino has a fun, festive atmosphere, complete with "party pits." Harrah's showroom was hosting singer Clint Holmes and his 12-piece band at press time. An improv comedy show, Mac King's wonderful comedy/magic act, and Greg Thompson's late-night revue Skintight are also on the docket here, as is weekend happy-hour karaoke time in the La Playa lounge.Carnaval Court is a festive, palm-fringed shopping plaza where strolling entertainers perform. It's notable because it's right on the Strip, but entirely outdoors; similar ventures at other hotels are inside artificial environments. Note that lounge singer legend Cook E. Jarr often plays here late on varying nights.Harrah's has an Olympic-size swimming pool and sun-deck area with waterfall and trellised garden areas, a whirlpool, and a kids' wading pool. It's a pretty underwhelming pool by Vegas standards.The hotel's health club is one of the better facilities on the Strip, with a full-range spa and a gym with Lifecycles, treadmills, stair machines, rowing machines, lots of Universal equipment, free weights, and two TVs and a VCR for which aerobic exercise tapes are available. Its $20-a-day access charge is more reasonable than the fees in other hotels.

MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
Vegas goes back and forth on its position on whether size does matter, and the MGM Grand is a perfect example of that. When it first opened, the massive glaring green behemoth was the largest hotel in town, with a casino to match -- and its owners were mighty proud of it, boasting still further of their family appropriateness, as typified by the theme park that was originally in the back. But times and emphasis change, and with everyone else in Vegas moving away from the pseudo-family-friendly direction to the whole luxury-resort persona, the MGM Grand had no choice but to follow. So if you book here thinking your kids are still welcome, you should think again. The amusement park in the back is gone, and so is the Wizard of Oz theme that originally gave the hotel its identity. Instead, there are striptease shows and a lounge called Tabú. That sort of thing certainly sends a message.Consider also the place's size. The hotel management now downplays the once touted "hugeness," trying to pretend that the really big casino is actually several medium-big casinos. Whatever. Despite plenty of signage, it is still a lengthy, confusing schlep from anywhere to anywhere. The 80 or so 42-inch TV monitors (apprising registering guests of hotel happenings) in the vast white-marble lobby only add to the chaotic confusion a guest might feel -- all the worse if you are toting kids. (At least the lobby is now immediately accessible from the outside world.)On the absolute plus side, we are just knocked out by the Grand Tower rooms. No cookie-cutter, generic, upscale-but-forgettably-bland furniture here; instead, it's a modern-day homage to 1930s moderne -- all clean, curvy lines, good wood, and a fun palette of colors, plus black-and-white movie-star glamour photos. The results are some of the most distinctive rooms on the Strip -- and even if there are a heck of a lot of them, they are the best choice in town in their price range. The Emerald Tower rooms (about 700 of the hotel's total rooms) are a whole lot less grand. The remnants of the old Marina Hotel, these rooms are plainer (and smaller by about 100 sq. ft.) and more run-of-the-mill (though the windows have shutters, which is semi-nifty). The expanded pool area is another victory, with several choices for dunking, including a lazy river (though we wish portions of it weren't closed off for nonsummer months). Overall, guests report that the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful.MGM houses a prestigious assemblage of dining rooms, among them the Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Emeril Lagasse's New Orleans Fish House. These, along with buffet offerings and the Rainforest Café, are reviewed in Restaurants.As befits a behemoth of this size, there's an appropriately gigantic casino. The family-friendly EFX Alive! has closed, and a new (as yet unnamed) Cirque du Soleil show is due to open by summer 2004. Plus, there's La Femme, a very adult topless show; a hot lounge, Tabú; nightclub Studio 54; a headliner showroom; and a larger events arena that hosts sporting events and bigger concerts. See Nightlife for details on all the nightlife options.The MGM Grand's spa is a Zen-Asian minimalist wonder, all natural stone and aged wood. The services offered are quite marvelous -- for a romantic outing or a Mother's Day treat, try the half-day full services and private room (it's a mere $400, but for what you get, it might be worth the price). The state-of-the-art health club is larger than most, with some serious machines, including ones equipped with fancy computer video monitors (it'll cost you $25 to work up a sweat here most of the day, but you can use the gym facilities only, without the whirlpools and other amenities of the spa, for only $10 after 6pm).The swimming pool area is a rousing success. The 6.6 acres of landscaped grounds feature five pools, including the longest lazy river in town.Facilities: Casino; events arena; showroom; cabaret theater; 2 wedding chapels; 14 restaurants; outdoor pool; fitness center and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.

Sahara Hotel & Casino
One of the few venerable old casino hotels still standing in Vegas (it's come a long way since it opened in 1952 on the site of the old Club Bingo), how you now view the Sahara may simply depend on which direction the sun is shining. It's been a few years since a spiffy renovation really pulled in some solid Moroccan details (an arched neon dome with Moroccan detailing, plenty of marble and chandeliers, plus small tiles and other Arabian Nights decorations) and caused the loss of the landmark sign, once the tallest in Vegas. (Frankly, the new one, featuring a camel, is going to look just as dated even more quickly.) The point was not only to keep up with the Joneses (as the newer, glitzy hotels make the old ones seem not just quaint but shabby), but also to attempt to unify the theme of the hotel. Then they added a roller coaster around the outside (quite a good ride, enthusiasts assure us), you know, just because.Unfortunately, none of this really adds up to an especially nice hotel experience. Recent guests had found the rooms, renovations notwithstanding, just a bit dreary and maybe even shabby. Again, this may simply be in comparison to the gleaming new kids in town, a comparison suffered by most of the older hotels. If you are looking for four walls and a mattress, this isn't a bad choice at all. It should be noted that the Sahara feels they are not as well equipped as other hotels for children and discourages you from bringing yours -- and yet, they added a roller coaster. Go figure.The room decor suffers from overkill, with stars and stripes assaulting the eyes and not looking terribly Moroccan. The boldly striped bedspreads on the otherwise comfortable beds are a particular mistake. The windows open, which is unusual for Vegas.The hotel has just remodeled their Sahara Buffet. The casino is there, of course, and there's a headliner showroom as well.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 6 restaurants; 2 outdoor pools (including 1 Olympic-size monster unfortunately located at the foot of a parking garage); Jacuzzi; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; limited room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
