During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Lady Luck
A complete remodeling didn't do too much to change this old gal, who is still a bit more smoky and crowded than we prefer, but that doesn't mean she's not good for a few go-rounds. Plus, its liberal game rules are attractive to gamblers. You can play "fast-action hold 'em" here -- a combination of 21, poker, and pai gow poker.
Gameworks
What do you get when Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks team get in on the arcade video-game action? Grown-up state-of-the-art fun. High-tech movie magic has taken over all sorts of traditional arcade games and turned them interactive, from a virtual-reality batting cage to a Jurassic Park game that lets you hunt dinosaurs. There are motion-simulator rides galore and even actual-motion activities like rock climbing. But classic games, from Pac-Man to pool tables, are here too, though sometimes with surprising twists, such as air hockey where multiple pucks occasionally shoot out at once.All this doesn't exactly come cheap. There are two routes to pricing. First is the standard version where $15 gets you $15 in game play, $20 gets you $25, or $25 gets you $35. Alternatively, you can purchase a block of time ($20 for 1 hr., $25 for 2 hr., $27 for 3 hr.; or if you get there at opening or closing you get 2 hr. for $20), which goes on a debit card that you then insert into the various machines to activate them. But you do get value for your money, which makes this a viable alternative to casinos, particularly if you have children (though it's clearly geared toward a college-age-and-older demographic). Children probably should be 10 years old and up -- any younger and parents will need to stand over them, rather than go off and have considerable fun on their own. Note: If you don't like crowds, come here earlier rather than later when it can get packed.
The Flamingo Las Vegas
If you've seen the movie Bugsy, you won't recognize this as Mr. Siegel's baby. We can't say for sure what their seemingly years-long casino renovation actually did. It all looks pretty much the same, but it might be marginally less confusing and tortuous a layout (trust us, anything is an improvement) with better, and most welcome, access to the street (before, you needed a trail of bread crumbs and a lot of stamina to find your way out). Still, the claustrophobia factor is moderately high. We have to say that of all the casinos that qualify as older, this is the most pleasant one in which to play. Unfortunately, the gambler seems to be paying for it; no more daytime $3 blackjack. One of our favorite slot machines is here, but we won't tell you which one, to save it for ourselves. Sorry. The Flamingo takes part in Caesars Entertainment players-reward club, also valid at sister properties such as Caesars and Paris.
Bally's Las Vegas
With all the fancy-pants new hotels in town, it's so hard to keep up with the Joneses, or the Wynns as the case may be. And here's poor Bally's, with a perfect location, and it's got no big fountain or Eiffel Tower or anything to make a passerby think "right, gotta go gamble there," much less a tourist booking long distance to think "right, gotta stay there." And we aren't really going to make you change your mind, though lately, we might give you a reason to consider it. After all, you can get a room for a ridiculously low rate these days, and those rooms, which are larger than average, have recently been redone to an admirable degree, with some swell touches, including modern curvy couches, big TVs, wireless Internet access, and marble this and that. The public areas still feel dark and dated, but the hotel is connected to its sister property, Paris Las Vegas, which is swanky and modern enough. Also, it's a stop on the new monorail system, so you'll be able to go just about everywhere by foot or by swift train, and, thanks to those nice rooms, you've got someplace pleasant to return to.Bally's has the usual range of dining choices and is justly renowned for its Sterling Sunday Brunch. The casino is large, well lit, and colorful, and there's also a headliner showroom and the splashy Jubilee! revue.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 14 restaurants; outdoor pool; 8 night-lit tennis courts; health club and spa; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Tropicana Resort & Casino
As we go to press, the Trop's future remains in doubt. No formal decision has been made, but at press time, the hotel announced it would be open through at least spring 2005. The rumors are it will be torn down and in its place will be erected two miniresorts of 2,000 rooms each. We'd like to say we are sorry -- and in a nostalgic way we are, but really, the Trop has seen better days. Once known for its lavish tropical resort stylings, it's now more than a little worn around the edges, especially when compared with its splashy neighbors. The birds and other wildlife are gone, which makes things a little less messy, but the tacky "Garden rooms" are still around and ought to be demolished ASAP. Gone also is the outside light show.Rooms -- well, think a clean '70s motel room, but a little bit nicer. Unless you're a Jimmy Buffet fan, you are better off staying in the Trop's Paradise Tower, where the rooms are slightly bigger and much easier on the eyes -- mock provincial, to be sure (check out the plaster molding and ceiling cornices -- a curious and welcome little touch) -- but it all appears less shabby and more fresh. Bathrooms are also bigger here, but dull, except for the ones with Jacuzzis. Even without the wildlife, the pool area is among the best around and is the place's biggest draw. Note, however, that their touted swim-up blackjack is seasonal (read: summer only).Calypsos, the 24-hour coffee shop, is a good value, as are the Trop's buffet offerings. There's a good-looking casino, and the Casino Legends Hall of Fame has the largest collection of gaming chips in the world, along with other gambling doodads and ephemera. The showroom currently hosts the Folies Bergère revue.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; wedding chapel; 8 restaurants; 3 outdoor pools; small health club and spa; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
Orleans
The Orleans is a little out of the way, and there is virtually nothing around it, but with a 12-screen movie complex, complete with a food court and day-care center, a bowling alley (that keeps ridiculously late hours; we know more than one recent guest who found a 3-4am game just the right way to wind down after a hectic clubbing night), and a new 9,000-seat arena for a minor-league hockey team (but also available for concerts and the like), this is a reasonable alternative to staying on the hectic Strip. Plus, there is a shuttle that runs continuously to the Barbary Coast on the Strip. The facade is aggressively fake New Orleans, more reminiscent of Disneyland than the actual Big Easy. Inside it's much of the same. But a bright casino (complete with Cajun and zydeco music over the loudspeakers) and a policy of handing out Mardi Gras beads at all the restaurants and bars (ask if you haven't gotten yours) make for a pleasantly festive atmosphere.If the prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location, though the staff can be rotten, which can seriously sour a bargain experience. (On the other hand, room service seems fine.) The rooms are nice enough and you'll find the largest standard rooms in town, or so the hotel claims. They all have a definite New Orleans-French feel. Each is L-shaped, with a seating alcove by the windows, and comes complete with an old-fashioned, overstuffed chair and sofa. The beds have brass headboards, the lamps (including some funky iron floor lamps) look antique, and lace curtains flutter at the windows. The one drawback is that all these furnishings, and the busy floral decorating theme, make the room seem crowded (particularly down by the seating area in front of the bathrooms). Still, it's meant to evoke a cozy, warm Victorian parlor, which traditionally is very overcrowded, so maybe it's successful after all. There are 1,400 newer rooms in a recently built tower, and these hold to the same surprisingly nice standard.The hotel has your basic Vegas-type places to eat. Worth noting is the moderately priced Italian Sazio, Big Al's Oyster Bar, a not unauthentic Creole/Cajun-themed restaurant, and Don Miguel's, a basic but satisfying Mexican restaurant that makes its own tortillas while you watch. There are several bars, including one with live music at night. The Orleans Showroom is an 827-seat theater featuring live entertainment, the Orleans Arena is a 9,000-plus-seat facility for concerts and sporting events, and, of course, there's a casino.Facilities: Casino; showroom; 12 restaurants; 2 outdoor pools; health club; 70-lane bowling center; 12 movie theaters; Kids Tyme children's center offering amusements and day care for kids 12 and under; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
