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

Fitzgeralds
This casino is done up in greens and golds, and the overall effect is not quite as tacky as you might expect, though the now near-total absence of any overt Irish theme means it's rather forgettable. In fact, it's rather friendly and with a medium to low claustrophobia level, thanks in part to some windows to the outside Fremont Street. The casino actually has two levels: From the upstairs part, you can access a balcony from which you get an up-close view of the Fremont Street Experience.Blackjack, craps, and keno tournaments are frequent events here. Slot machines that paid out over 100% the previous week are marked with a MR. LUCKY sign. The Fitzgerald Card offers slot players gifts, meals, and other perks for accumulated points. Several slot machines have cars as prizes, fun books provide two-for-one gaming coupons, and there are $1-minimum blackjack tables.

Paris-Las Vegas Casino
Surrounded by a rather Disneyesque one-third-scale replica of the streets of Paris, this 83,000-square-foot casino is a very pleasant place to gamble, in that Vegas-gimmick kind of way. It's one of those kitschy places that "real" gamblers are appalled by. To heck with them, we say. A tall ceiling gives the illusion that you are trying to bust the bank while strolling outside, and results in an airy effect. The place doesn't feel all that large, thanks to a meandering layout. There are over 2,000 slot machines and over 100 table games. A state-of-the-art race and sports book features live satellite feeds of sporting events from around the world. The Paris's players club is under the umbrella of Caesars Entertainment -- owners of Paris, Bally's, Caesars, and The Flamingo -- so you can rack up points at one casino and redeem them at any in the family.

The Arts Factory
Believe it or not, Las Vegas has a burgeoning art scene (what some would consider soul-crushing is what others consider inspirational), and this complex, located in the Gateway district, is the place to find proof. It features a few galleries and a number of work spaces for local artists. Several of the spaces are closed to the public. On the first Friday of each month, they have a party event (unimaginatively named "First Friday") showcasing local artists and arts-oriented businesses, with live music, street performances, and other entertainment and activities. Visit their website for further details.

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

Westward Ho Hotel & Casino
We know we referred to the Stratosphere as having motel rooms, but we did emphasize that they are nice motel rooms. These are just plain basic motel rooms, because this is, after all, a motel. Which means that it just doesn't have the facilities and other doodads that a true resort, even the Strat, offers. But the price lures. Located next door to Circus Circus, the Westward Ho is fronted by a vast casino, with rooms in two-story buildings that extend out back for several city blocks. In fact, the property is so large that a free bus shuttles regularly between the rooms and the casino 24 hours a day. Plans are in the works for a new casino and a gas station/convenience store in the back of the property. A good buy here are the two-bedroom suites, with 1 1/2 bathrooms, living rooms with sofa beds, and refrigerators. Suites sleep up to six people.

Orleans
The Orleans is a little out of the way, and there is virtually nothing around it, but with a 12-screen movie complex, complete with a food court and day-care center, a bowling alley (that keeps ridiculously late hours; we know more than one recent guest who found a 3-4am game just the right way to wind down after a hectic clubbing night), and a new 9,000-seat arena for a minor-league hockey team (but also available for concerts and the like), this is a reasonable alternative to staying on the hectic Strip. Plus, there is a shuttle that runs continuously to the Barbary Coast on the Strip. The facade is aggressively fake New Orleans, more reminiscent of Disneyland than the actual Big Easy. Inside it's much of the same. But a bright casino (complete with Cajun and zydeco music over the loudspeakers) and a policy of handing out Mardi Gras beads at all the restaurants and bars (ask if you haven't gotten yours) make for a pleasantly festive atmosphere.If the prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location, though the staff can be rotten, which can seriously sour a bargain experience. (On the other hand, room service seems fine.) The rooms are nice enough and you'll find the largest standard rooms in town, or so the hotel claims. They all have a definite New Orleans-French feel. Each is L-shaped, with a seating alcove by the windows, and comes complete with an old-fashioned, overstuffed chair and sofa. The beds have brass headboards, the lamps (including some funky iron floor lamps) look antique, and lace curtains flutter at the windows. The one drawback is that all these furnishings, and the busy floral decorating theme, make the room seem crowded (particularly down by the seating area in front of the bathrooms). Still, it's meant to evoke a cozy, warm Victorian parlor, which traditionally is very overcrowded, so maybe it's successful after all. There are 1,400 newer rooms in a recently built tower, and these hold to the same surprisingly nice standard.The hotel has your basic Vegas-type places to eat. Worth noting is the moderately priced Italian Sazio, Big Al's Oyster Bar, a not unauthentic Creole/Cajun-themed restaurant, and Don Miguel's, a basic but satisfying Mexican restaurant that makes its own tortillas while you watch. There are several bars, including one with live music at night. The Orleans Showroom is an 827-seat theater featuring live entertainment, the Orleans Arena is a 9,000-plus-seat facility for concerts and sporting events, and, of course, there's a casino.Facilities: Casino; showroom; 12 restaurants; 2 outdoor pools; health club; 70-lane bowling center; 12 movie theaters; Kids Tyme children's center offering amusements and day care for kids 12 and under; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.

Las Vegas Hilton
It's easy for us to overlook this dinosaur -- look, we even called it a dinosaur. Totally unfair. It's one of the last of the dying breed of old Vegas hotels, but unlike many of its peers, it's still offering fine accommodations and even a bit more than that. Consider it even if you aren't an old-timer, and don't be put off by the distance from the Strip; the Monorail stops here, making access easier than ever. When you consider that on nights when you can't touch a room on the Strip for less than $175, the Hilton will put you in a nice room with plenty of marble (including large bathtubs) and clean, well-maintained furnishings for a decent price, then it seems silly to not make the Hilton a top choice more often. The clientele is a mix of savvy business travelers who know a good hotel deal when they see it and Trekkers lured in by the Spacequest Casino and Star Trek: The Experience (which got a recent fancy addition in the form of the 4-D Borg Invasion). There are quite a few solidly good restaurants.Those very same facilities, however, mean that even a small convention can sometimes drive the prices up at odd times -- then again, since conventions are often booked for weekdays, that can also mean atypical drops in price on weekends. Just call.Note: As we went to press, the Hilton was sold to a new owner. There are no concrete plans for any changes, but hints indicate potentially dramatic ones, including turning part of the hotel into timeshares. Be aware that by the time you read this, some of the information contained herein may have changed.The Hilton has a strong showing of restaurants, including a Benihana and a buffet that's reviewed in chapter 6. Note: Children 12 and under can dine in any Hilton restaurant for half the listed menu prices, making this a great option for budget-conscious families.The Nightclub, a first-rate casino lounge, has live entertainment nightly. It's a great place to hang out in the evening and features regular sets by local cover bands. One of Elvis's sequined jumpsuits is enshrined in a glass case in the front, near the entrance to the lobby/casino (he played 837 sold-out shows here). In addition, Colonel Tom Parker's memorial service was held here in the hotel. There's also a major headliner showroom (see Nightlife).There are also a number of shops, plus the above-mentioned Star Trek: The Experience, the themed attraction, with its accompanying space-themed casino, one that is especially well designed, with some fun gimmicks.The third-floor roof comprises a beautifully landscaped 8-acre recreation deck with a large swimming pool, a 24-seat whirlpool spa, six Har-Tru tennis courts lit for night play, Ping-Pong, and a putting green. Also on this level is a luxurious 17,000-square-foot state-of-the-art health club offering Nautilus equipment, Lifecycles, treadmills, rowing machines, three whirlpool spas, steam, sauna, massage, and tanning beds. There's a $20-per-day fee to use the facilities, but guests are totally pampered: All toiletries are provided; there are comfortable TV lounges; complimentary bottled waters and juices are served in the canteen; and treatments include facials and oxygen pep-ups (you inhale pure oxygen).Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 13 restaurants; outdoor pool; golf course adjacent; 6 tennis courts (4 night-lit); health club and spa; Jacuzzi; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
