During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mandalay Bay
You'll find "elegant" gaming in a pre-fab, deliberate way, with a very high ceiling that produces a very low claustrophobia factor. It's definitely the right place to gamble if you're looking for less hectic, less gimmick-filled play. The layout makes it look airy, and it's marginally less confusing and certainly less overwhelming than many other casinos. Because it is so far down the Strip, there are fewer walk-in players, but the presence of the House of Blues and the increasing popularity of the rumjungle nightclub can mean a late-night influx of customers. There's a big, ultracomfortable sports book (complete with armchairs that could well encourage a relaxed gambler to fall asleep), including a live daily sports-radio show. Players can sign up for the One Club, a Mandalay Resorts player-reward system also valid at sister properties like Luxor, Excalibur, Circus Circus, and others.
Palms Resort & Casino
Here's where this Desperately-Seeking-the-Hip hotel has a bit of an identity crisis, because it also wants to be a place where locals feel comfortable gambling. You know, like Palace and Texas Station. Huh? That's right, the Palms wants to mirror those hotels off the Strip that offer loose slots and other incentives to make the locals feel at home. This rarely makes for a chic playing area (because locals don't want to have to get glammed up to go out and play some slots). On the other hand, the area is, especially on weekend nights, ringed with the beautiful and slender and aloof, desperate to get into Ghost Bar and Rain. If they aren't inside, they are surly about it. Let's hope everyone just keeps getting along. The gaming area covers most of the ground floor (it recently had part of its bulk diminished, in response to complaints that it was too crowded with tables and machines), and is replete with Miami-tropical-inspired details.
Bally's Las Vegas
Bally's casino is large (the size of a football field), with lots of colorful signage. The big ceiling makes for a low claustrophobia level. Their players club is valid at sister properties like Caesars Palace and Paris, offering members cash rebates, room discounts, free meals and show tickets, and invitations to special events, among other perks. The casino hosts frequent slot tournaments, and free gaming lessons are offered.
Boardwalk Hotel & Casino
This is just like a Holiday Inn -- in fact, up until a few years ago, it was a Holiday Inn, but in Vegas you gotta have a theme, and the hotel underwent an extensive renovation to give it a more attractive Coney Island and Boardwalk flavor, inside and especially out. The facade is kind of fun, with clowns and games and mannequins dressed in turn-of-the-last-century clothes. Of course, all this is completely eclipsed by New York-New York, which is just a few doors (in Strip terms) down. After all, the roller coaster on the outside of this hotel is just a facade, while New York-New York's coaster is real. The whole property is owned by the MGM MIRAGE Corp., which hasn't done anything special to the place, but does mean a certain amount of quality control. At least, until they figure out how to "redevelop" the property, and tear the whole thing down.You don't have to walk through the casino to get to the lobby, which is a plus, as is the hotel's coveted Strip location. On the other hand, it's a bit pricey for what you get -- standard Holiday Inn hotel rooms -- unless you do get that often low midweek rate.
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.
Residence Inn by Marriott
Staying here is like having your own apartment in Las Vegas. The property occupies 7 acres of perfectly manicured lawns with tropical foliage and neat flower beds. It's a great choice for families and business travelers.Accommodations, most with working fireplaces, are housed in condolike, two-story wood-and-stucco buildings fronted by little gardens. Studios have adjoining sitting rooms with sofas and armchairs, dressing areas, and fully equipped eat-in kitchens complete with dishwashers. Every guest receives a welcome basket of microwave popcorn and coffee. TVs have VCRs (you can rent movies nearby), and all rooms have balconies or patios. Duplex penthouses, some with cathedral ceilings, add an upstairs bedroom (with its own bathroom, phone, TV, and radio) and a full dining room.
