During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Guggenheim/Hermitage Museum
When two branches of the famous Guggenheim opened in Vegas, it was seen as a sure sign that Vegas was on its way to, or at least had an actual chance of, becoming a real city with real culture, and not just a glittery tourist trap. No one has said much now that the first branch, the one built for special exhibits, closed after just one show. The second branch, perhaps ultimately better reviewed and regarded, remains in operation, so maybe there is hope yet for Vegas's cultural significance. That museum, the Guggenheim/Hermitage, is the first co-venture between the Guggenheim and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The State Hermitage in St. Petersburg has one of the finest encyclopedic collections in the world, but few have had a chance to experience any of it. Unfortunately, the exhibit here at press time was of American pop icons. We're not really sure how the Hermitage collection figures into that, fond as we are of that particular moment in modern art, so we do rather hope that future exhibits feature more of those masterworks rarely, if ever, seen outside of Russia. After all, pricewise, too, we note again that both the Louvre and the Vatican come considerably cheaper (well, once you pay to fly there) and offer quite a bit more.
The Monte Carlo
This place is all huge ceilings and white-light interior: Obviously, they're trying to evoke gambling in Monaco. While the decor shows lots of attention, it perhaps had too much attention. Bulbs line the ceiling, and everywhere you look is some detail or other. It's busy on both your eyes and your ears. So despite the effort put in, it's not a pleasant place to gamble. However, there is a large and comfortable race and sports-book area, with its own cocktail lounge. This casino takes part in the One Club player-reward system, also valid at Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and others.
The Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino
This Brazilian-themed resort's 85,000-square-foot casino is, despite the presence of plenty of glitter and neon, very dark. It has about the highest claustrophobia rating of the major casinos and seems very dated these days. Its sports book feels a little grimy. The waitresses wear scanty costumes (particularly in the back), probably in an effort to distract you and throw your game off (all the more so now that they are adding "Bev-entertainment" -- those poor waitresses are going to have to burst into song and/or dance in between delivering your beer). Do not let them. The part of the casino in the Masquerade Village is considerably more pleasant (the very high ceilings help), though still crowded, and the loud live show here adds even more noise. In the high-end slot area ($5-$100 a pull), guests enjoy a private lounge and gratis champagne. There are nonsmoking slot and gaming table areas. The Rio participates in the Harrah's Total Rewards players club, allowing gamers to earn points toward meals, cash back, rooms, and more, which can be used at any Harrah's-owned casino.
Tuscany Hotel & Casino
This may be the right kind of hybrid between chain hotel and fancier resort -- not as lush as the latter, but not anywhere near as expensive, either, with far more personal detail and indulgent touches than you can find at chains. It's another "all-suite" hotel, and another where "suite" really means "very big room." The rooms aren't memorable, just like the chain rooms, but they are smart enough that you won't get depressed like you might when you see some of the rooms in similarly priced hotels. The large complex (27 acres, complete with a winding pool) isn't so much Italian as it is vaguely evoking the idea of Italian architecture, but it, too, is more stylish than most of the chains in town. And, unlike those other chains, this one comes with a large casino, roped off in such a way that this is still an appropriate place for families who want the best of all worlds (price, looks, family-friendly atmosphere, and gambling), especially as the rooms come with a separate dining area, a kitchenette, and large TVs, plus convertible couches on request. (And while the kids play, there is a large soaking tub for their folks to relax in.) There's a good Italian restaurant on the premises, plus a lounge.
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.
Barbary Coast Hotel & Casino
You can't fault the location of this hotel. It's right on the busiest corner of the Strip, smack in the middle of the action. With all the hotel business (the itty-bitty reception desk and tiny sundries/gift shop counter) set on the fringes of the small, dark, cluttered casino, this is very old Vegas, which is sort of a good thing; but unfortunately, it's becoming harder to wrap one's mind around it in these days of megacasino complexes. Nevertheless, a small hotel is a rare thing in this town, and a face-lift would make the Barbary Coast a nice boutique hotel. Let's encourage them in that direction.Rooms have not-precisely-inviting dark tones (think bordello burgundy) and little sitting areas separated by curtains. King rooms are more spacious. Bathrooms are dinky but not dreary, mattresses are new and thick. Beware: The very loud intersection outside can make rooms noisy.Drai's, an upscale restaurant, is covered in detail in Restaurants. Michael's is the hotel's premier restaurant, with only two seatings a night in an intimate, old-fashioned room. The food gets raves, but the menu is completely dated (chops and the like), so it's best for those with deep pockets who mistrust nouvelle cuisine. Two bars serve the casino.
