During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Wet 'n' Wild
Before we begin, a warning: At press time, it seemed that Wet 'n Wild was facing imminent doom -- it was due to be torn down to make way for (appropriately) a water-themed resort called Voyagers. We hope they get through at least one more summer. When temperatures soar, head for this 26-acre water park right in the heart of the Strip and cool off while jumping waves, careening down steep flumes, and running rapids. There are a variety of slides and rides, plus a lazy river and a beach for those looking for more sedentary pursuits. The noise level can be extraordinarily high (people have to shout to be heard over the rushing water), so don't think of this as relaxing -- but when it's 108°F (42°C) in the shade, who cares? Also, be on the lookout for discount coupons. Many Las Vegas packages include a free admission (sometimes partial-day).
Gambler's Museum & Shop
From the same folks who brought you the Casino Legends Hall of Fame, it's a smaller version that is only half the size of the gift shop that it accompanies. There are as many as 5,000 pieces of memorabilia associated with casino hotels of a bygone era, but those items include little gewgaws like matchbooks, a variety of old gaming chips, and even toenail clippers. Still, the videos of hotel implosions and the last days of Bugsy Siegel (the owner is particularly proud of his Siegel collection) are fun, and so is browsing among souvenirs of yesteryear -- some of which are for sale in the gift shop, though we would check eBay before buying anything here, as some of the same items can be found there for less. (We found a Vegas-themed board game online for about a quarter of what it was going for at the store.)
Angel Park Golf Club
This 36-hole, par-70/71 public course is a local favorite. Arnold Palmer originally designed the Mountain and Palm courses (the Palm Course was redesigned several years later by Bob Cupp). Players call this a great escape from the casinos, claiming that no matter how many times they play it, they never get tired of it. The Palm Course has gently rolling fairways that offer golfers of all abilities a challenging yet forgiving layout. The Mountain Course has rolling natural terrain and gorgeous panoramic views. In addition to these two challenging 18-hole courses, Angel Park offers a night-lit Cloud 9 Course (12 holes for daylight play, 9 at night), where each hole is patterned after a famous par-3. You can reserve tee times up to 60 days in advance with a credit-card guarantee.Yardage: Palm Course 6,525 championship and 5,438 resort; Mountain Course 6,722 championship and 5,164 resort.Facilities: Pro shop, night-lit driving range, 18-hole putting course, restaurant, snack bar, cocktail bar, and beverage cart.
Monte Carlo Resort & Casino
When it was built, the massive Monte Carlo was the world's seventh-largest hotel. It's now considerably overshadowed by its high-profile, more theme-intensive brethren. Entering it is still nice, as it comes off more as a European casino hotel alternative (before Bellagio usurped that position), replete with Corinthian colonnades, triumphal arches, and big and busy statuary, with an entranceway opening onto a bustling casino. A separate entrance in the rear of the hotel leads to a splendid marble-floored, crystal-chandeliered lobby evocative of a European grand hotel. We love that the guest rooms are accessible without going through the casino, but we hate that said rooms are somewhat dingy and badly in need of a makeover, with dinky bathrooms. The pool area, once the very last word in local pool fun, is now put to shame by better versions (including superior lazy rivers) over at Mandalay Bay and the MGM Grand. It does have a number of child/family/budget-friendly restaurants. All in all, just about last on our list of second-choice hotels, but a serious room redo, plus some work on the pool area, could move it up fast.The Monte Carlo's Pub & Brewery and Dragon Noodle Co. are described in chapter 6. In addition, there is a highly recommended branch of the classic Downtown French restaurant Andre's. There's also a large and overly ornate casino, plus a lavish showroom that currently hosts the recommended show by magician Lance Burton.Monte Carlo's health club and spa are nothing special, but then again, it's $17 for 1 day's access, which is cheaper than the fee at most other hotels.Facilities: Casino; showroom; wedding chapel; 7 restaurants; large wave pool with lazy-river ride and separate kiddie pool; 3 night-lit tennis courts with full services and equipment rental; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment/rental; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Green Valley Ranch Resort
Now, for all our heartfelt rhapsodizing above about the Ritz, do not think that we love Green Valley any less. It's not fair to this flat-out fabulous resort to compare the two -- they can't quite compete on the same playing field, because it doesn't have the same level of pedigree as the Ritz, nor does it have the knockout physical positioning on the lake. But it makes up for that with earnest efforts and lower prices (plus it's about half the distance back to the Strip, which is visible from the pool area), and if you can't stay at the one, you won't be unhappy staying at the other. Two different experiences, but each will make you feel like a resort should. Anyway, it seems that Green Valley's designers took careful notes on places like the Ritz-Carlton when coming up with their design -- the interiors, rooms and public spaces both, feel completely influenced by same, while the exterior pool area borrowed much from hip hotel concepts such as the Standard and the W. This sounds like a potentially risky combination, but it works smashingly. You can stay here with your parents or your kids and every age group should be happy.Inside all is posh and stately, a dignified classy lobby, large rooms with the most comfortable beds in town (high-thread-count linens, feather beds, plump down comforters) and luxe marble bathrooms. Outside is the hippest pool area this side of the aforementioned Hard Rock: part lagoon, part geometric, with shallow places for reading and canoodling, and your choice of poolside lounging equipment, ranging from teak lounge chairs to thick mattresses strewn with pillows, plus drinks served from the trendy Whiskey Beach. The tiny health club is free, and the spa is also modern and hip. At night, you can hang out at the ultra-trendy Whiskey Sky as more mattresses and pillows get strewn about, all the better to attract the most beautiful bodies in town (desperate souls try to get past the velvet rope -- you can pass with ease because you are staying here), or you can head over to the entirely separate (as in, an adjoining building) casino area, which offers a disappointingly old school-looking gambling area, plus a variety of restaurants, from a Pancake House to a small Stage Deli to fine steaks and fried goodies at kicky BullShrimp. There is also a multiscreen movie theater.
Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay is one of our favorite hotels. Why? Well, we love that the lobby (impossibly high ceilings, calm, gleaming with marble, and housing a large aquarium) and the other public areas really do make this seem more like an actual resort hotel than just a Vegas version of one. You don't have to walk through the casino to get to any of these public areas or the guest-room elevators, the pool area is spiffy, and the whole complex is marginally less confusing and certainly less overwhelming than some of the neighboring behemoths.We wouldn't say it really evokes colonial Southeast Asia -- oh, maybe around the edges, if you squint, thanks to the odd bit of foliage or Balinese carving. This may well keep out the gawkers, who are looking for bigger visual thrills, but we find a place whose theme doesn't bop you over the head refreshing.The rooms are among the most desirable on the Strip (king rooms are more attractive than doubles), spacious and subdued in decor. Tropical influence seems to be limited to faux leopard-skin chairs by the worktables, and plantation shutter doors to closets and the bathroom (unfortunately, the bathroom's shutter doors seem to not entirely join together, leaving a gap of varying size). King beds have large, carved headboard posts and firm mattresses. The bathrooms are the crowning glory -- probably the best on the Strip -- they're downright large, with impressive, slightly sunken tubs, glassed-in showers, double sinks, and separate water closets, plus fab amenities and lots of them. (Bathrobes are available on request.)Service overall is pretty good, and those pool-area employees are the tops in Vegas, though there were no security guards at the guest elevators. A monorail system connects the hotel with Luxor and Excalibur, which are located in the heart of the Strip action, and this should more than help you get over any feelings of isolation.The restaurants in Mandalay Bay feature some of the most innovative interiors in Vegas, each one more whimsical and imaginative than the next. Even if you don't eat at the hotel, drop in and poke around the restaurants. Aureole, a branch of Charlie Palmer's renowned New York City restaurant, the Border Grill, Red Square, and the buffet are reviewed in chapter 6. And then there's rumjungle, which features a dramatically skewered, all-you-can-eat, multicourse Brazilian feast, which you'll enjoy while listening to world-beat drums, surrounded by walls of fire and water and other striking visual features. More casual food can be found at the House of Blues, whose Southern delicacies are often quite palate pleasing; HOB is probably the best place in town to see rock bands. Mandalay Bay has a showroom and a separate arena, which was inaugurated by none other than Luciano Pavarotti, and currently offers Mamma Mia!, the Broadway musical of ABBA songs. See Nightlife for details on the hotel's major nightlife offerings. There's also a big, comfortable casino, airier and less claustrophobic than most, plus three bars, often featuring live music (including rock impersonator acts) at night.There are no fewer than four pools (entering this area is like going to a water park, thanks to upgraded security -- all guests, regardless of age, must show a room key), including the touted wave pool, which is unfortunately a classic example of Vegas bait-and-switch. It can't handle waves of any serious size, but bobbing in the miniwaves is delightful, as is floating happily in the lazy river (tubes are available for rental -- we say save some bucks and share a tube with friends, taking turns using it). All in all, this area alone makes this resort a top choice for families, sans, perhaps, the topless swimming area.The health club is sufficiently stocked to give you a good workout (it should be, as they charge guests $27 per day to use it). The spa area proper -- featuring hot and warm pools, plus a cold plunge -- is exotically designed, as close to those found in the Turkish spas in Eastern Europe as we've come across, though without the patina (read: weathered decay) of decades or centuries, which can be a good thing. Load up on that rich moisturizer when dressing -- it costs $17 a bottle in the store outside the door.See the separate listing for Mandalay Bay's new THEhotel addition.Facilities: Casino; 12,000-seat events center; 1,700-seat performing-arts theater; 16 restaurants; 4 outdoor pools; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment/rental; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
