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

Madame Tussaud's Celebrity Encounter
Madame Tussaud's waxworks exhibition has been the top London attraction for nearly 2 centuries, so even if you aren't a fan of wax museums, this, its sole branch west of the Mississippi, is probably worth a stop -- if you can stomach the price. Figures here are state-of-the-art, painstakingly constructed to perfectly match the original person. (Truth be told, though some are nearly identical to their living counterparts -- Brad Pitt gave us a start -- others look about as much like the celebrity in question as a department-store mannequin.) There's no Chamber of Horrors, but the exhibit makes up for it, since all the waxworks are free-standing, allowing, and indeed encouraging, guests to get up close and personal. (Go ahead, lay your cheek next to Elvis's or Sinatra's and have your photo taken. You know you want to.) The emphasis here is on film, television, music, and sports celebrities, plus some Vegas icons, who are housed in five themed rooms ("Sports Arena," for example). There's also a behind-the-scenes look at the lengthy process involved in creating just one of these figures.

Orleans
This is not a particularly special gambling space, though it does have a low claustrophobia level. Another plus is that they sometimes play Cajun and zydeco music over the sound system, so you can two-step while you gamble, which can make losing somewhat less painful. It has all the needed tables -- blackjack, craps, and so forth -- plus plenty of slots, including the popular Wheel of Fortune machine, which works like those other roulette-wheel slots, but in this case, actually plays the theme song from the TV show. It will even applaud for you if you win. Since Orleans is popular with locals, there are lots of video-poker options. And because it's not on the Strip, you'll find better odds for craps, and cheaper table minimums. Their players' club card gains you points at all Coast Casinos, such as Gold Coast, Suncoast, and others.

Ron Lee's World of Clowns
It's easy to give this one a miss, but you're here, so what the heck. This factory manufactures clown figurines (and other types, most notably Disney figures). The tour itself consists of simply looking in windows as people mold and paint. The real attraction (aside from a beautiful carousel) is the gift shop, with a nearly limitless amount of high-quality figurines, primarily with a clown motif.

Riviera Hotel & Casino
Its best days long past, this former Strip star is looking awfully dumpy these days (and there are rumors, thanks to its part-ownership by development-happy Donald Trump, that it will soon be knocked down anyway). Between that and its promotion as an "alternative for grown-ups" and an "adult-oriented hotel," you should probably only stay here if you can get a deal and simply must be on the Strip. You certainly shouldn't bring the kids, who are actively discouraged as guests.Opened in 1955 (Liberace cut the ribbon and Joan Crawford was the official hostess of opening ceremonies), The Riviera was the first "high-rise" on the Strip, at nine stories. Today, it tries to evoke the Vegas of the good old days -- "come drink, gamble, and see a show" -- and while it is appropriately dark and glitzy, it's also very crowded and has a confusing layout. Don't miss your chance to take your photo with the bronze memorial to the Crazy Girls (their premier, largely nekkid, show), and their butts, outside on the Strip. There is a pool here, but it's very dull.Rooms are blah and not likely to improve. Half the rooms offer pool views. There is the predictable assortment of dining options -- though an excellent choice for families, ironically, is the Mardi Gras Food Court, which, unlike most of its genre, is extremely attractive. White-canvas umbrella tables and Toulouse-Lautrec-style murals create a comfortable, French cafe ambience. Food choices are wide-ranging, including burgers, pizza, gyros, falafel, and Chinese fare. The Riviera's enormous casino is one of the world's largest; see chapter 10 for reviews of its production shows, An Evening at La Cage (female impersonators), Crazy Girls (sexy Las Vegas-style revue), and Splash (aquatic revue).Facilities: Casino; wedding chapel; showrooms; 6 restaurants; outdoor pool; 2 night-lit tennis courts; health club and spa; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.

Excalibur
Now this is kitsch. One of the largest resort hotels in the world, Excalibur (aka "the Realm") is a gleaming white, turreted castle complete with moat, drawbridge, battlements, and lofty towers. And it's huger than huge.You know, as much as we might publicly stand in favor of quiet good taste, there is a part of our soul that is secretly thrilled by overblown fantasy locations -- it's so authentically Vegas. And so we just pray that the Lords of Taste never touch Excalibur, and it is allowed to forever run amok with sword and sorcery imagery. Actually, the decorating fairies have already made some quiet changes (the deep reds in the public areas have been switched to creams), but nothing that really sullies the silliness. There are some ominous rumblings in keeping with the rest of Vegas's careening away from the "family-friendly" image -- gone is the animatronic dragon and wizard show out front, and inside, where a nice horse show used to be, there is a male stripper act, Thunder from Down Under. It's really too bad, because without the excess, this is just another hotel -- a mighty big and chaotic hotel, thanks to a sprawling casino full of families and small-time gamblers, which is located smack dab in the middle of everything, including, naturally, the path between you and the elevators to your room.Rooms are done in neutrals (a little too much brown for our tastes). They have vague heraldic overtones and, given the price, are perhaps the best bet on the Strip for the budget-minded. Note that none of the bathrooms have tubs, just showers. Guests who have stayed in Tower 2 have complained about the noise from the roller coaster across the street at New York-New York. (It runs till 11pm, so early birds should probably ask to be put in a different part of the hotel.) Frankly, we prefer stopping in for a visit rather than actually settling in here, but we know single-minded others (read: Vegas is for gambling, and so is the majority of the vacation budget) who wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.The second floor holds the Medieval Village, where Excalibur's restaurants and shops are peppered along winding streets and alleyways, a sort of permanent Renaissance Faire, which could be reason enough to stay away (or to come). On the Village's "Jester's Stage," jugglers, puppeteers, and magicians amuse guests with free 20-minute performances throughout the day. Up here you can access the enclosed, air-conditioned, moving sidewalk that connects with the Luxor. There are plenty of restaurants, including the Roundtable Buffet, and a pretty good prime rib joint. Excalibur won our hearts forever by installing a branch of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts on the second level, on the way to the Luxor walkway. The Tournament of Kings is a medieval-style dinner show, and there's a very loud, claustrophobic casino.

Stardust Resort & Casino
Opened in 1958, the Stardust is a longtime resident of the Strip, and its 188-foot starry sign is one of America's most recognized landmarks. Don't get too used to it: The owners (Boyd Gaming) have been vocal about wanting to get rid of it, either through a sale or a teardown/do-over. It's a pity, in a way; it is a likable hotel, offering on-Strip accommodations at cheap rates, but it has no personality, despite being the only star of the movie Showgirls. (It was probably chosen for its oh-so-Vegas light bulb-intensive facade, which turns up in just about every location-establishing shot for Vegas called for by commercials, TV, or movies. The movie Swingers also shot a number of scenes here.)Rooms in the towers are perfectly adequate, nice even, but forgettable. If you must know more, the 32-story West Tower rooms are decorated in earth tones while East Tower rooms go the floral route. You can rent an adjoining parlor room with a sofa bed, whirlpool, refrigerator, and wet bar -- a good choice for families. Also quite nice are Villa rooms in two-story buildings surrounding a large swimming pool. Decorated in soft Southwestern pastels, they have private shaded patios overlooking the pool.Mr. Wayne Newton himself is in residence at the Stardust, performing regularly in its showroom.Facilities: Casino; 2 showrooms; 5 restaurants; 2 outdoor pools; small exercise room; Jacuzzi; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
