During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Eiffel Tower Tour
Whether this is worth the dough depends on how much you like views. An elevator operator (we refuse to call them guides) delivers a few facts about this Eiffel Tower (this is a half-size exact replica down to the paint color of the original) during the minute or so ride to the uppermost platform, where you are welcome to stand around and look out for as long as you want, which probably isn't 2 hours, the length of the average movie, which also costs $9. Nice view, though.
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel
This is a very nice wedding chapel, particularly when compared to the rather tired facades of the classics on the Strip. This is absolutely the place to go if you want a traditional, big-production wedding; you won't feel in the least bit tacky. It's a New England church-style building, complete with steeple. The interior looks like a proper church (well, a plain one -- don't think ornate Gothic cathedral) with a peaked roof, pews with padded red seats, modern stained-glass windows of doves and flowers, and lots of dark wood. It's all very clean and new and seats about 87 comfortably. There is a short staircase leading to an actual bride's room; she can make an entrance coming down it or through the double doors at the back. The area outside the chapel is like a minimall of bridal paraphernalia stores. Should all this just be too darn nice and proper for you, they also offer a drive-up window (where they do about 300 weddings a month!). It'll cost you $25 -- just ring the buzzer for service. They have a photo studio on-site and will do receptions featuring a small cake, cold cuts, and champagne. There is a gazebo for outside weddings, and they sell T-shirts!
Las Vegas Hilton
The casino has two parts, thanks to the space-themed portion adjacent to Star Trek: The Experience. In an area designed to look like a spaceport, you find space-themed slot machines, many of which have no handles -- just pass your hand through a light beam to activate. You'll find other gimmicks throughout the casino (though already some have been dropped since the opening), including urinals that give you an instant "urinalysis" -- usually suggesting this is your lucky day to gamble. We do like a well-designed space in which to lose our money.Over in the original casino section, Austrian-crystal chandeliers add a strong touch of class. The casino is actually medium-size, but it does have an enormous sports book -- at 30,500 square feet, it's the world's largest race and sports book facility. It, too, is a luxurious precinct equipped with the most advanced audio, video, and computer technology available, including 46 TV monitors, some as large as 15 feet across. In fact, its video wall is second in size only to NASA's. The casino is adjacent to the lobby but is neither especially loud nor frantic. Especially plush is the vast 6,900-square-foot baccarat room -- with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, silk-covered walls, and velvet-upholstered furnishings -- and the VIP slot area where personnel are attired in tuxedos. Both areas offer gracious service to players.The Las Vegas Hilton has a new owner as of 2004 so there will probably be some changes by the time you read this.
Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel
Fitzgeralds recently got a new owner, the first African American to own a Vegas casino, an interesting bit of trivia. Positive changes have come in his wake, though at this writing, mostly in the public areas. Largely gone is the luck o' the Irish theme, which makes us sad when we think about Mr. O'Lucky, the hotel's longtime mascot, but not so much when it comes to all the rest of the leprechauns and shamrocks and other bits of Blarney nonsense. The casino has been brightened up, so it's now one of the nicer places to gamble Downtown, while the hallways and check-in area have been redone; and a new outdoor pool -- a rare amenity for Downtown in general, and open until the unheard of (in Vegas) hour of 9pm -- opened in summer 2003. More renovation work and upgrading is scheduled to take place. Right now, you can expect a sort of Irish country-village walkway, complete with giant fake trees, leading to the room elevators. Fitzgeralds has the only balcony in Downtown from which you can watch the Fremont Street Experience. You can also sit in its McDonald's and gawk at the light show through the atrium windows.The rooms are clean and comfortable, featuring standard hotel-room decor done in shades of green. Because this is the tallest building Downtown (34 stories), you get excellent views: snowcapped mountains, Downtown lights, or the Strip. Whirlpool-tub rooms are $20 more and are slightly larger, offering wraparound windows.
The Westin Casuarina Las Vegas Hotel & Spa
When the ever-more-seedy Maxim was more or less stripped to its bones and turned into a Westin, we were thrilled. What Vegas needs, we keep saying, not that anyone hears us, is a true kicky boutique hotel, one that puts real service and real style ahead of slot machines. (We still have hopes for a W, actually. Silly of us, but there it is.)This Westin won't fill that bill -- coming a lot closer would be THEhotel at Mandalay Bay -- but business travelers who want a little style and don't mind if said style is just a tad generic and sterile will be pleased with this hotel. There is nothing wrong with the rooms -- they are in excellent taste, done in eye-pleasing sages and wheats, complete with the Westin's self-congratulatory trademarked "Heavenly Bed," which caused one occupant to dream she was sleeping on clouds (and the other to note it has a whole lot of polyester in its make-up), and the baths are gleaming, if small -- but they pale compared to some of the (admittedly occasionally lurid) fantasies around town. For the price, especially if you were looking for something Vegas-riffic, you might be disappointed. It doesn't help that the cool exec-style lobby/check-in area melds into a casino area that seems to have been missed in the renovations; it's weirdly dated. It also doesn't help that the staff says "no, that's not something we do or offer" more often than "yes, we can do that," though they say it nicely enough. There is an adequate (and free!) gym, reached by walking right by all the business meeting areas, and a decent pool. At this writing, comedian David Brenner is in residence in the showroom. Ultimately, it's too good a property not to give a relatively high rating to, but you need to understand that, by Vegas standards -- which means different things to different people -- it's boring.
Lake Mead Lodge
If camping isn't your bag, spend your night or nights at this rustic and comfortable bungalow-style lodge. It's an easy drive from Hoover Dam and is right on the lake, but also right on the desert, so don't picture it as a wooded resort. The rooms are pleasant, with wood-paneled ceilings and walls of white-painted brick or rough-hewn pine. All offer full private bathrooms. There is a suite with three rooms and a small kitchen, which might be good for families staying a few days. (There are plans to add a second suite.) The pool is rudimentary, but you might want to relax with a good book in one of the gazebos on the property. About 1/2 mile down the road is the marina, where you can while away a few hours over cocktails on a lakeside patio. The marina (the Lake Mead Resort and Marina) is the headquarters for boating, fishing, and watersports; it also houses a large shop (see marina details above, under "Boating & Fishing").There's a nautically themed restaurant called Tale of the Whale (tel. 702/293-3484) at the marina, its rough-hewn pine interior embellished with various seafaring iconography. It's open from 7am to 8pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 9pm Friday and Saturday (it closes an hour later during the summer). The restaurant serves hearty breakfasts; sandwiches, salads, and burgers at lunch; and steak-and-seafood dinners. And Boulder Beach, also an easy walk from the lodge, has waterfront picnic tables and barbecue grills.
