During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum
A substantial and fascinating collection of gaming memorabilia (chips, cards, dice, even swizzle sticks, from long-gone and current hotels), photographs (the original Flamingo surrounded by nothing but desert, for example), videos, displays, and minitributes to the people and professions that made and make Las Vegas what it is. Over 150,000 items make this the largest collection of its kind in the world. Provided that this kind of history interests you, this shouldn't be missed. It's well worth the time and small admission charge, though you can sometimes avoid even that, courtesy of the hotel's free slot-pull area, and local magazines, both of which often offer free passes. Attached is a large gift shop where you can buy all sorts of collectibles -- even slot machines. Note: With the hotel's future in jeopardy, so is this collection's. Let's hope that if it has to close here, it gets picked up elsewhere.
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.
Graceland Wedding Chapel
Housed in a landmark building that's one of the oldest wedding chapels in Vegas, the Graceland bills itself as "the proverbial mom and pop outfit. We offer friendly, courteous service, and are willing to go that extra step." No, Elvis never slept here (one of the owners was friends with Elvis and asked his permission to use the name). This is a tiny New England church building with a small bridge and white picket fence out front. Inside is a 33-seat chapel; the walls are burgundy and white, with a large, modern stained-glass window of doves and roses behind the pulpit. The pews are dark blond wood. It's not the nicest of the chapels, but Catherine Oxenberg and Caspar Van Diem got married here. Jon Bon Jovi and Lorenzo Lamas did also, though not to each other.
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.
Super 8 Motel
Billing itself as "the world's largest Super 8 Motel," this friendly property occupies a vaguely Tudor-style stone-and-stucco building. Free coffee is served in a pleasant little lobby furnished with comfortable sofas and wing chairs. Rooms are clean and well maintained.The nautically themed Ellis Island Restaurant, open 24 hours, offers typical coffee-shop fare at reasonable prices. In the adjoining bar -- a library-like setting with shelves of books and green marble tables -- sporting events are aired on TV monitors. The Ellis Island Casino (actually located next door) has a race book and 50 slot/poker/21 machines; a bar here has a karaoke machine.
Imperial Palace
Location, location, location. And price, price, price. That's what the IP has going for it -- don't think anything else. It's smack in the middle of the Strip -- it doesn't get any more centrally located than this, and now there's even a monorail stop right out back -- and on a weekend night when rooms at nicer hotels are running $400 (that's for a regular room), lodgings can be had here for under $60. What you get in exchange is an older, darker hotel that looks sort of sleazy in spots, but really isn't. Not much, anyway. It just seems like it in comparison to the gleaming hulks across and down the street. We actually know types who prefer this, a more classic Vegas feel, to the airy new upstarts. We aren't among those, we have to admit, and you may not be as well. The standard rooms are just that, but they all have balconies, which is exceedingly rare in Vegas. A perfect Vegas hoot, the "luv tub" rooms are some of the best deals on the Strip, especially if you can get them for the cheapest end of the price range; you'll get a larger bedroom (with a mirror over the bed!) and a larger-than-usual bathroom that features a 300-gallon sunken "luv tub" (with still more mirrors).From April to October, the hotel holds "luaus" at the pool, with a Polynesian revue and buffet. Expect Tiki torches.The hotel is also home to the long-running Legends in Concert impersonator show. The casino has relatively low (for the Strip) table limits.A unique feature is the Auto Collections at Imperial Palace, displaying more than 800 antique, classic, and special-interest vehicles spanning a century of automotive history.Is There a Doctor in the House? -- The Imperial Palace hotel has a well-appointed 24-hour urgent-care clinic, which is open to the public. Given its location, right in the middle of the action, it's well worth knowing about.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; wedding chapel; 9 restaurants; outdoor pool; health club and spa; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
