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

Las Vegas Motor Speedway
This 107,000-seat facility was the first new super-speedway to be built in the Southwest in over 2 decades. A $100 million state-of-the-art motor-sports entertainment complex, it includes a 1 1/2-mile super-speedway, a 2 1/2-mile FIA-approved road course, paved and dirt short-track ovals, and a 4,000-foot drag strip. Also on the property are facilities for Go-Kart, Legends Car, Sand Drag, and Motocross competition. The new speedway is accessible via shuttle buses to and from the Imperial Palace hotel, though some of the other major hotels have their own shuttles to the speedway.

Auto Collections at Imperial Palace
Even if you're not a car person, don't assume you won't be interested in this premier collection of antique, classic, and special-interest vehicles. Check out the graceful lines and handsome sculpture of one of the many Model J Duesenbergs (one of which Elvis Presley drove in the movie Spinout). The craftsmanship and attention to detail make these cars, and others here, true works of art.Note that the vehicles on display change regularly, so there's no telling what you may see when you visit. However, the last time we were here we saw a great deal of history. Down President's Row we saw JFK's 1962 "bubbletop" Lincoln Continental, Lyndon Johnson's 1964 Cadillac, Eisenhower's 1952 Chrysler Imperial 20-foot-long parade car, Truman's 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan with gold-plated interior, FDR's unrestored 1936 V-16 Cadillac, and Herbert Hoover's 1929 Cadillac. There's also a 1964 Chaika that belonged to Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev.Commercial vehicles of bygone days include antique buses, military transports, taxis (among them, the 1908 French model that appeared in the movie version of My Fair Lady), gasoline trucks, fire engines, delivery trucks and vans, dump trucks, and pickup trucks. Other highlights are the 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Special 60 driven by Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits; Al Capone's 1930 V-16 Cadillac; a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet currently owned by Wayne Newton; the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback driven by Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds; Howard Hughes's 1954 Chrysler (because of his phobia about germs, Hughes installed a special air-purification system that cost more than the car itself!); and a 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow, one of only three still in existence today.

Binion's Horseshoe
Binion's has had quite the ride lately. Here's the back story: Professionals in the know say that "for the serious player, the Binions are this town." Benny Binion could neither read nor write, but boy did he know how to run a casino. His venerable establishment has been eclipsed over the years, but it claims the highest betting limits in Las Vegas on all games (probably in the entire world, according to a spokesperson). Unfortunately, its last couple of years read like a Vegas soap opera -- you know, in-family fighting, murder of one scion at the (alleged) hands of his stripper girlfriend, another taking out many of the elements that made Binion's famous, and the whole thing getting shuttered in early 2004 thanks to nonpayment of bills. To everyone's relief, after 3 months, the casino reopened thanks to its dual owners, one of which is Harrah's, which will manage it for at least a year. But Harrah's is eventually taking the Horseshoe name (and rumors are running wild over what that will mean, including speculation that they will build a new "Harrah's Horseshoe" on the spot currently occupied by the New Frontier) and the rights to Binion's famous World Series of Poker, which will probably be moved to the Strip in 2005 or 2006.Do you care about any of this? Maybe. Binion's has about 400 fewer slot machines than it used to, in an effort to improve flow, and some parts got painted, so it looks less dingy (but still like an Old West bordello) but remains otherwise essentially the same. That includes the relatively high claustrophobia level. It offers single-deck blackjack and $2 minimums, 10-times odds on craps, and high progressive jackpots. Real gamblers still won't consider going anywhere else.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Las Vegas area, including:

Palms Resort & Casino
One of the hottest of the newer hotels, given quite the PR boost when it was Britney's base for her wedding debacle. In keeping with the tropical-foliage name, it's more or less Miami-themed (but without the pastels), with a strange aversion toward straight lines (really, check out all those curves). Inside a bland building is a pretty nice complex -- which we say only because it's a puzzle that the place is such a hot spot (though we predict that by the time you read this, the beautiful person clientele will have shifted in large part to THEhotel). That's mostly due to the nightlife options -- both Ghost Bar and the nightclub Rain have lines of people every night the facilities are open, offering to sell their firstborn sons for a chance to go inside. Why did those two places catch on so? Not really sure (though you can read our speculations about both in chapter 10), but you need to know that the entrances to them stand right by the elevators to your hotel room, which means on a busy weekend night, there can be upwards of 4,000 gorgeous and antsy (if not angry) people standing between you and access to your hotel room. If you are a Hilton sister, or wish to see if one will date you, this could be heaven, but if encountering the beautifully dressed and coifed, with 0% body fat and sullen expressions of entitlement, and the 19-year-olds who seek to become all of that (and usually affect a thuggish demeanor) makes you, like us, itch, this might not be the most comfortable place to stay.Having said all that, note that The Palms has perhaps some of the most comfortable beds in Vegas, thanks to fluffy pillows and duvets that make one reluctant to rise, plus big TVs and huge bathrooms. The main pool is oddly cheap looking -- it's really a posing spot rather than a splash, while a second pool has a bar and mermaids swimming in the water at night. Also on the property is Alizé, in competition for the title Best Restaurant in Town (and owner of the title Most Gorgeous and Romantic Restaurant), a cheap and hearty buffet, movies theaters, a McDonald's, and other reliable cheap chain eateries.

Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas
Vegas prides itself, these days, on offering all sorts of "luxury resorts." Vegas exaggerates -- in some cases, by a lot. Truth be told, this is the only luxury resort (Four Seasons Las Vegas is a luxury hotel more than anything else, because of its setup), and it's not even in Las Vegas. It's on the outskirts of next-door suburb Henderson, on the shores of Lake Las Vegas, meaning a 30-minute or so drive from the Strip.Why on earth are we recommending it? Because to come here is to come to a gobsmackingly beautiful resort -- between the sparkling water and the crisp mountains, all the better in the early evening with a warm breeze blowing, this is the serene oasis everyone dreams of when they come to the desert. Plus, it has all the pampering bells and whistles you could want. Here's the thing you have to remember: Those Strip "resorts" aren't in the hotel business, they are in the casino business. The hotel is just a sideline. Ritz-Carlton is a proper hotelier and you are the beneficiary. Certainly, the price is not cheap (though watch the website for some great deals), but once you realize what's included -- all manner of treats that Strip "resorts" will charge you for as extras, plus impeccable service and a setting that's a dream -- it's not a bad deal. Come here for a true getaway, and treat Vegas as a nearby attraction, an additional perk for your vacation.Set right on the shores of the man-made (but so's Lake Mead and we've gotten over it) Lake Las Vegas, and styled like an Italian lakeside resort, this property couldn't be more handsome, from the lobby to the cool-palette rooms, with plump beds, comforters and Frette linens. All bathrooms are large and fully marbled (not tile, but real marble), with deep, long soaking tubs and amenities for miles. Most rooms have water views (make sure you get one of those) either of the serpentine lake (our favorite) or of the little bay that abuts the property. Some have balconies, and all have windows that open (keep an eye on the lake for sightings of the big fish that occasionally cruise just below the surface).The health club is the sort where all machines have flatscreen TVs, and the spa offers hot and cold plunge pools, plus a 360-degree Vichy shower. There is one basic pool and one "sandy beach" little dipping area. And the overall service? We felt like if we sneezed, three people would have rushed at us with tissues, and four would have called doctors, just to make sure we were okay. It's also quiet, a great change from the hurly-burly found at most Strip hotels. And yet, it's not at all stuffy; no one minds if you run around in a bathing suit and bare feet.The activities are the best around, from a large array of desert and mountain hikes, both on your own and guided (including a restful evening one that includes a round of tai chi), to stargazing (you are far enough from city lights so the looking is good), to boating on the lake, to honest-to-gosh fly-fishing. Daily yoga sessions and other physical fitness classes are also offered. And the hotel has access to three high-level golf courses.Parents in particular should note that the club-level rooms offer, for an extra $100 a night, access to a lounge (complete with its own concierge and even more fabulous service), with nearly round-the-clock free "snacks," generous (and most of the time, rather fancy) enough to cover all your meal needs -- that, plus free drinks, alcoholic and otherwise, makes this option a bargain. (Think how much you spend on meals and drinks, and tell us that it doesn't routinely go over an extra $100 a day.) Right next door is a charming faux Italian village with nearly 40 shops and restaurants (so you need not rely on the hotel's restaurant, though it is excellent), plus a large, if borderline dull, casino, if you want that kind of action but don't want to drive to the Strip. There are regular shuttles to the Strip until 2am, never fear, though why anyone would leave here is beyond us.Facilities: Restaurant; bar; concierge; 2 pools; health club and spa; business center; shuttle to Strip; water taxis to nearby attractions; some free exercise classes; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; club-level rooms.

Terrible's
First of all, this place isn't terrible at all (the owner is Ed "Terrible" Herbst, who operates a chain of convenience stores and gas stations). Second, it isn't a bit like the hotel it took over, the rattrap known as the Continental. The Continental is gone, and good riddance. In its place is an unexpected bargain, a hotel frequently offering ridiculously low prices. Try this on for size: $29 a night! Near the Strip! Near a bunch of really good restaurants! Hot diggity! So what are we getting? Well, don't expect much in the way of memorable rooms; they are as basic as can be (despite some sweet attempts with artwork depicting European idylls), and some have views of a wall (though even those get plenty of natural light). Some, however, are considerably larger than others, so ask. The pool area is a surprise; it looks like what you might find in a nice apartment complex (which, actually, is what Terrible's resembles on the outside), with plenty of palms and other foliage. There's a small but thoroughly stocked casino (not to mention penny slots, continuing the budget theme) plus a very good 24-hour coffee shop. How could you want for anything more? Did we mention price and location? Plus a free airport shuttle? Okay, so we all wish they had used a bit more imagination with the rooms.
