During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Gold Coast
Adjacent to the Rio, this casino is not only well lit, but totally unique in Vegas: It has windows! It's a little thing, but it made us really excited. They also have a higher ratio of video-poker machines to slot machines, rather than the other way around. A remodeling made it much bigger, with high ceilings, and very bright overall. Nice job. The casino and their players club is tied to other Coast properties like Orleans and Barbary Coast.
Little Chapel of the Flowers
Their current claim to fame is that Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra exchanged their deathless vows here. Given that fact, it doesn't look the way you might think. This is actually the spiffiest wedding operation on the Strip, with another miniature old-fashioned church building with a very tiny garden and gazebo. They have two chapels off their pretty and comfortable lobby (mock-antique look). The Victorian chapel, which holds only 30, has white walls and dark wood pews and doesn't look very Victorian at all, but is the nicest of the lot. The Heritage Chapel holds 70 and adds rose-colored drapes and electric-candle chandeliers. They also offer a medium-size reception room and live organ music upon request. It's a pretty, friendly place that somehow manages to act as if every one of the many daily weddings they do is special. They do not allow rice or confetti throwing.
The Four Queens
The Four Queens is New Orleans-themed, with late-19th-century-style globe chandeliers, which make for good lighting and a low claustrophobia level. It's small, but the dealers are helpful, which is one of the pluses of gambling in the more manageably sized casinos.The facility boasts the world's largest slot machine: More than 9 feet high and almost 20 feet long, six people can play it at one time! It's the Mother of all giant slot machines, and frankly, it intimidates even us. Here is also the world's largest blackjack table (it seats 12 players). The Reel Winners Club offers slot players bonus points toward cash rebates. Slot, blackjack, and craps tournaments are frequent events, and there are major poker tournaments every January and September. The casino also offers exciting multiple-action blackjack (it's like playing three hands at once with separate wagers on each).
Luxor Las Vegas
Another hotel that thrills us to our very kitsch-worshipping souls. How happy you, who share our aesthetic taste -- or lack thereof -- will be when you behold the main hotel, a 30-story onyx-hued pyramid, complete with a really tall 315,000-watt light beam at the top. (The Luxor says that's because the Egyptians believed their souls would travel up to heaven in a beam of light. We think it's really because it gives them something to brag about: "The most powerful beam on earth!") You'll be giddy when you spy replicas of Cleopatra's Needle and the Sphinx gracing the outside. And when you get inside, and see the towering statues of Ramses and overhear the talking animatronic camels, well, you might not care that the lobby tries also to be classy, vaguely Art Deco (influenced by Egyptian Revival, remember) marble and cherrywood. No, you'll just want to ride the 39-degree high-speed inclinators -- that's what an elevator is when it works inside a pyramid. (Really, they are part conveyance, part thrill ride -- check out that jolt when they come to a halt!) Great fun, the Luxor, you can gather. Not as impressive as the real landmarks in the real Egypt, of course. But you knew that.Once you stop laughing (or screaming) at what greets you, you should be quite pleased with this hotel. Rooms in the pyramid open onto the vast center that contains the casino -- indeed, ground-level rooms open more or less right into the action (though many of these have been turned into offices), so if you want only a short drunken stumble back to your room, these are for you. Otherwise, ask for a room higher up. The pyramid rooms cross Egyptian kitsch with Art Deco stylings, including gleaming inlaid wood furniture and a hilarious hieroglyphic bedspread. Marvelous views are offered through the slanted windows (the higher up the better, of course), but the bathrooms are shower-only, no tubs. Tower rooms (an expansion put additional rooms in a tower rather than another pyramid. Drat!) are even heavier on the Egyptian motif (with huge armoires housing the TVs and closet space), pleasing in a campy way but not as aesthetically successful. The bathrooms, however, including deep tubs, are better, so it might be a worthwhile trade-off. Regardless of which room you get, these are some of the few rooms in Las Vegas that stand out. You know you are in the Luxor when you find yourself surrounded by unique, charming room design, as opposed to the cookie-cutter room decor usually found elsewhere in town. Especially desirable is a group of suites with glamorous Art Deco elements, private sitting rooms, refrigerators, and, notably, whirlpools by the window (enabling you to soak under the stars at night).The Luxor's Pharaoh's Pheast buffet offers a cool archaeological-dig atmosphere. The hotel's high-tech nightclub Ra is a happening nightspot. Two notable attractions here are King Tut's Tomb & Museum and the Luxor IMAX Theater.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 10 restaurants; 5 outdoor pools; health club and spa; 18,000-sq.-ft. video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Bonnie Springs Motel
This is really a hoot; a funky, friendly little place in the middle of nowhere -- except that nowhere is a gorgeous setting. The motel is in two double-story buildings and offers regular rooms, "Western" rooms, "specialty theme" rooms, and kitchen suites.Where to begin? Here, the theme is expressed mostly through the use of fabrics, personally decorated by the owner, who did a pretty nice job. The "gay 1890s" room is done in black and pink, with a lace canopy over the bed, an old-fashioned commode, and liberal use of velvet. The American Indian room uses skins and feathers, and has a bearskin-covered burl-wood chair. You get the idea. The "Western" rooms have more burl-wood furniture and electric-log fireplaces that blow heat into the room.All special theme rooms (aka fantasy suites) have mirrors over the beds and big whirlpool tubs in the middle of the room (not in the bathrooms) and come with bottles of champagne (the empties of which you can see littering the road on your way out). All the rooms are quite large, though long and narrow, and have private balconies or patios, and mountain views. There are also large family suites with fully equipped kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms (with convertible sofas), and dressing areas; these are equipped with two phones and two TVs and are available for long-term rentals (many of the people who work at Old Nevada actually rent these as apartments). Videotapes and players are available for rental, and there is even a tiny train that takes you around the grounds and on a short tour of the desert.The Bonnie Springs Ranch Restaurant has a lot of character and is a perfect family place. It's heavily rustic (stone floors, log beams, raw wooden chairs made from tree branches, lanterns, a roaring fire in winter, and plenty of dead animals adorning the walls). It's a bit touristy, but small-town touristy. The food is basic -- steak, ribs, chicken, burgers, and potato skins; pancakes and eggs for breakfast; it's all greasy but good. There is a cozy bar attached to the restaurant, its walls covered with thousands of dollar bills with messages on them -- a classic neighborhood bar, if it were actually in a neighborhood.
THEhotel at Mandalay Bay
The rather silly nomenclature of this new, utterly fabulous Vegas accommodation reminds us of our previous consideration regarding the Four Seasons' relationship with Mandalay Bay (located on the top floors, but operated as a separate entity) -- it's part of the hotel, but not precisely the hotel. In this case, this really is THE hotel, in all senses, not least of which is that even though we were quite fond of Mandalay Bay prior to the opening of this conjoined twin of a property, we now think of it, if we do at all, rather as the frowzy sister from the sticks who looks tawdry and rumpled next to its sleek Vogue magazine editor sibling. (Actually, we still like Mandalay Bay a great deal.) Yes, if Prada were a hotel, it would look something like THEhotel. Certainly, if there are Prada wearers in town, we bet they are going to be staying here.The new trend in Vegas hotels seems to be hotels that allow you, if you so choose, to forget you are in Vegas. Nevermind that psychology. What that translates to here is an entirely separate entrance, and an entirely different atmosphere. This is not a casino hotel -- though it is connected to one by a long hallway -- but a world of sleek towering walls of lighting, ambiguous modern art, and both guests and employees in head-to-toe black. Like any good Vegas hotel, it wows you from the start, but not in the usual Vegas marble-gilt-and-chandelier screaming over the top "look-how-you-can-live-if-only-you-hit-that-jackpot-over-there" way, but in a way that coolly says, "You probably already live like this, don't you?" while handing you a nicely chilled Cosmopolitan. In other words, this isn't Donald Trump's version of the best, but rather that of Mr. Big from Sex and the City. Don't get us wrong -- everything here is still out-of-proportion large -- but it's sophisticated and chic, all blacks, tans, woods, and mid-century modern sharp lines. We fell for it instantly, and that's before we went to our room. Ah, the rooms; every one is a genuine suite (not just separated living room and bedroom, but even wet bar and second WC), done in more black, tans, and gleaming woods, like your professionally decorated Manhattan dream apartment. There are plasma-screen TVs in every room, including the enormous marbled bathroom, where the tub is so deep the water came up to our chin when we sat down. Bath amenities are posh, the comforters are down, and the sheets -- well, remember our complaints about how you just can't get good sheets in big hotels? Feel the soft heft of these. That's what we want. One complaint might be the excess of mirrors (the wall-length double closet and TV cabinet are covered in them, as is another wall), and the overall lack of good lighting. But seriously, you won't care. For once, a hotel room in Vegas designed to make you want to stay put. Not that you have to; as stated, all the amenities of Mandalay Bay (their incredible pool area, a number of terrific restaurants) are just down a long hall, though the instant you step from this grown-up world into the world of, well, noisy grown-up pursuits, which isn't the same thing at all, you might well want to turn right back around.Having raved about it all, we do have some complaints. The staff are hardly cuddly and service reflects that. Costs at the sleek cafes are higher than even the usual elevated hotel restaurant prices. The gorgeous health club and spa, Spa Mandalay, while state-of-the-art, will set you back $30 a day. (And spa services are even more.) This is the place we would splash out on (and certainly would leap on any specials offered), but with the understanding that it's still, despite appearances, a Vegas hotel, though very likely the best there is.In room: A/C, 3 flatscreen plasma TVs, CD/DVD, combo printer/fax, high-speed Internet access, wet bar, minibar, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, robes and slippers, scale.
