During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
New York-New York
Another theme-run-wild place: tuxes on the backs of gaming chairs and so forth, all set in a miniature New York City. It's all fabulous fun, but despite a low claustrophobia level (thanks to an unusually high ceiling), it is a major case of sensory overload. This may prove distracting. On the other hand, we won repeatedly here, so we love it. And in places, it is, if one can say this about anything in Vegas with a straight face, quite beautiful -- or at least dazzling. Serious gamblers understandably may sniff at it all and prefer to take their business to a more seemly casino, but everyone else should have about the most Vegasy time they can. NY-NY participates in the MGM MIRAGE Player's Club, also valid at sister properties like the MGM Grand and The Mirage.
Las Vegas Hilton
The casino has two parts, thanks to the space-themed portion adjacent to Star Trek: The Experience. In an area designed to look like a spaceport, you find space-themed slot machines, many of which have no handles -- just pass your hand through a light beam to activate. You'll find other gimmicks throughout the casino (though already some have been dropped since the opening), including urinals that give you an instant "urinalysis" -- usually suggesting this is your lucky day to gamble. We do like a well-designed space in which to lose our money.Over in the original casino section, Austrian-crystal chandeliers add a strong touch of class. The casino is actually medium-size, but it does have an enormous sports book -- at 30,500 square feet, it's the world's largest race and sports book facility. It, too, is a luxurious precinct equipped with the most advanced audio, video, and computer technology available, including 46 TV monitors, some as large as 15 feet across. In fact, its video wall is second in size only to NASA's. The casino is adjacent to the lobby but is neither especially loud nor frantic. Especially plush is the vast 6,900-square-foot baccarat room -- with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, silk-covered walls, and velvet-upholstered furnishings -- and the VIP slot area where personnel are attired in tuxedos. Both areas offer gracious service to players.The Las Vegas Hilton has a new owner as of 2004 so there will probably be some changes by the time you read this.
Chapel of Love
This is a friendly place largely run by women (men take the photos and are the limo drivers), featuring four different chapels. Good news came when the Divine Madness fantasy wedding chapel closed and brought all of their many costumes and props over here -- along with their silly sensibility. The chapels herein have been remodeled as well, and while you won't get, say, fantasy hotel-level set-design, this is the spot for Fun Weddings, for those who want Renaissance or Egyptian-themed nuptials (to say nothing of Gangster, Tarzan & Jane or Adam & Eve). None of the rooms are very big; and again, if they say "jungle," you should think "plastic plants." It's a hoot, anyway. There is also a reception room for a cold buffet or hot hors d'oeuvres. Their packages are quite reasonable, and they put all the "hidden" charges (such as suggested gratuities for the minister and so forth) right in their brochure, so there are no surprises.
Terrible's
First of all, this place isn't terrible at all (the owner is Ed "Terrible" Herbst, who operates a chain of convenience stores and gas stations). Second, it isn't a bit like the hotel it took over, the rattrap known as the Continental. The Continental is gone, and good riddance. In its place is an unexpected bargain, a hotel frequently offering ridiculously low prices. Try this on for size: $29 a night! Near the Strip! Near a bunch of really good restaurants! Hot diggity! So what are we getting? Well, don't expect much in the way of memorable rooms; they are as basic as can be (despite some sweet attempts with artwork depicting European idylls), and some have views of a wall (though even those get plenty of natural light). Some, however, are considerably larger than others, so ask. The pool area is a surprise; it looks like what you might find in a nice apartment complex (which, actually, is what Terrible's resembles on the outside), with plenty of palms and other foliage. There's a small but thoroughly stocked casino (not to mention penny slots, continuing the budget theme) plus a very good 24-hour coffee shop. How could you want for anything more? Did we mention price and location? Plus a free airport shuttle? Okay, so we all wish they had used a bit more imagination with the rooms.
Aladdin Resort & Casino
Note: As we were going to press, the beleaguered and bankrupt Aladdin had been bought by Planet Hollywood, which, as of now, intends to rename, remodel, and restyle the property. This process should be complete by the time you read this so don't be confused if there is a big blue globe out front, a new name, and lots of cast-off clothes and props from various Hollywood movies enshrined inside.It's a bit of a pity, because the new Aladdin, rising on the ashes of the old Vegas stalwart, which was desperately out of date, is a handsome building both inside and out. The theme is a generic Middle East theme -- you know, the sort that pretends there is no significant difference between Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey, which may be news to Egyptians, Moroccans, and Turks -- best characterized by one observer as "the Sahara with a billion dollars thrown at it." Details that indicate considerable thought went into the design are everywhere -- what other casino has actual tile work (clearly Moroccan in origin) throughout? But all that work came at a price, hence a $700 million bankruptcy -- the largest in Nevada history.That petty detail aside, this is already what a sexy, but distinctly Vegas, hotel ought to be: a little bit of kitsch, a little bit of class, and all of it playful. And we hope that the new owners will concentrate on maintaining and building on these aspects. The rooms are not distinctive, but they are pleasing (except for the beds -- the money must have run out before buying the mattresses, which are some of the most uncomfortable we've slept on), and the bathrooms can be quite large, with a deep tub and separate glass shower, plus little Aladdin-lamp-shaped faucets and exotic spice-scented amenities. Another plus is that the hotel is constructed so that guests need to see little of the casino (a plus for you, a drag for needed gambling revenue, and likely one of the first things the new owners will change), while the pool area is decent but nothing spectacular.And then there is the Desert Passage shopping area, another one to rival the capitalist ventures over at Caesars and The Venetian. This has also been sold to a new owner (separate from Planet Hollywood) so the Arabian Nights theme, all Casbah this and Sultan that, may not stay but the plan for now is to keep this theme. As is, it's impressive, to be sure, and better still for the live-action touches such as jugglers, acrobats, and belly dancers who pop up regularly to entertain shoppers and add that hectic souk feel to the experience. Inside the Desert Passage are a number of terrific restaurants, including a branch of New Orleans's venerated Commander's Palace. The hotel also has its own arena, the Center for the Performing Arts, which is attracting big names back to Vegas. Finally, there is the Elemis spa, maybe aesthetically our hands-down local favorite. The owners (who also run Elemis in London) sent their designers to Morocco for ideas, and it shows in this Medina-flavored facility; just looking at it is pampering, and that's before one of their attentive staff puts you in a wrap and "dry float" (a womblike water bed-style cradle). No word whether the new owners will revamp this facility like the rest of the property.All in all, the place teeters on the brink of a higher rating, and all we can hope is that the new owners help push it over the hump, rather than in the other direction. The place deserves it.Facilities: Casino; performing-arts center; showroom; 19 restaurants; 7 bars/lounges; 2 outdoor pools; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Hawthorn Suites
This "all-suite" hotel has plenty of extras, making it stand out from its brethren, and is extremely appealing to families. Sure, the suites themselves are bland, but they have full kitchens (perfect for families seeking to save some money) and actual balconies, a huge relief in stuffy Vegas where the windows usually don't open. There is a full, free breakfast buffet, and an evening happy hour with snacks. The pool is large, and they've got courts for basketball and volleyball. And they take pets! All this, just a block from the corner of the Strip and the Trop! This is really a lifesaver for families looking for a nice place not too far off the beaten path (especially if said family is using Vegas as a stopping point during a family vacation with Fido) -- think of the savings with the free breakfast, the snacks, and that full kitchen for other meals.
