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

Circus Circus
Circus Circus -- This vast property has three full-size casinos that, combined, comprise one of the largest gaming operations in Nevada (more than 100,000 sq. ft.). More importantly, they have an entire circus midway set up throughout, so you are literally gambling with trapeze stunts going on over your head. The other great gimmick is the slot machine carousel -- yep, it turns while you spin the reels. The Mandalay Resorts One Club offers slot/video-poker and table players the opportunity to earn points redeemable for cash, discounted rooms and meals, and other benefits at Circus or any of the sister properties such as Mandalay Bay or Luxor. The Circus Bucks progressive slot machines here build from a jackpot base of $500,000, which players can win on a $2 pull. Gaming facilities include a 10,000-square-foot race and sports book with 30 video monitors ranging from 13 to 52 inches, and 40-seat and 89-seat keno lounges. Unfortunately, the casino is crowded and noisy, and there are lots of children passing through (making it more crowded and noisy). That, plus some low ceilings (not in the Big Top, obviously), makes for a very high claustrophobia rating, though the current commedia dell'arte clown motif (as opposed to the old garish circus motif) has upgraded the decor.

Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum
A substantial and fascinating collection of gaming memorabilia (chips, cards, dice, even swizzle sticks, from long-gone and current hotels), photographs (the original Flamingo surrounded by nothing but desert, for example), videos, displays, and minitributes to the people and professions that made and make Las Vegas what it is. Over 150,000 items make this the largest collection of its kind in the world. Provided that this kind of history interests you, this shouldn't be missed. It's well worth the time and small admission charge, though you can sometimes avoid even that, courtesy of the hotel's free slot-pull area, and local magazines, both of which often offer free passes. Attached is a large gift shop where you can buy all sorts of collectibles -- even slot machines. Note: With the hotel's future in jeopardy, so is this collection's. Let's hope that if it has to close here, it gets picked up elsewhere.

Binion's Horseshoe
Binion's has had quite the ride lately. Here's the back story: Professionals in the know say that "for the serious player, the Binions are this town." Benny Binion could neither read nor write, but boy did he know how to run a casino. His venerable establishment has been eclipsed over the years, but it claims the highest betting limits in Las Vegas on all games (probably in the entire world, according to a spokesperson). Unfortunately, its last couple of years read like a Vegas soap opera -- you know, in-family fighting, murder of one scion at the (alleged) hands of his stripper girlfriend, another taking out many of the elements that made Binion's famous, and the whole thing getting shuttered in early 2004 thanks to nonpayment of bills. To everyone's relief, after 3 months, the casino reopened thanks to its dual owners, one of which is Harrah's, which will manage it for at least a year. But Harrah's is eventually taking the Horseshoe name (and rumors are running wild over what that will mean, including speculation that they will build a new "Harrah's Horseshoe" on the spot currently occupied by the New Frontier) and the rights to Binion's famous World Series of Poker, which will probably be moved to the Strip in 2005 or 2006.Do you care about any of this? Maybe. Binion's has about 400 fewer slot machines than it used to, in an effort to improve flow, and some parts got painted, so it looks less dingy (but still like an Old West bordello) but remains otherwise essentially the same. That includes the relatively high claustrophobia level. It offers single-deck blackjack and $2 minimums, 10-times odds on craps, and high progressive jackpots. Real gamblers still won't consider going anywhere else.

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.

Lady Luck Casino Hotel
Today's Lady Luck opened in 1964 as Honest John's, a 2,000-square-foot casino with five employees, five pinball machines, and 17 slots. Today, that casino occupies 30,000 square feet, and the hotel, including sleek 17- and 25-story towers, is a major Downtown player, taking up an entire city block. What it retains from earlier times is a friendly atmosphere, one that has kept customers coming back for decades. Eighty percent of Lady Luck's clientele is repeat business.A ton of dough was recently dumped into this venerable facility (by a national riverboat-owning chain), which means that while it doesn't look shockingly different, it has been given a face-lift that makes it, like a 60-year-old showgirl, a significant bit fresher. Nothing is special, but with these prices, it's well worth considering as a Downtown alternative. However, that same riverboat-owning chain just sold the old gal yet again (is there no end to the indignities of time and age?), and so who knows what her fate will be by the time you read this. Until then, garden rooms are small and basic with nice motel-style furnishings, while tower rooms (the newer ones) have fresh carpeting and furnishings, and all are clean and comfy. In other words, it's good enough even before you get to the econo-prices.

Residence Inn by Marriott
Staying here is like having your own apartment in Las Vegas. The property occupies 7 acres of perfectly manicured lawns with tropical foliage and neat flower beds. It's a great choice for families and business travelers.Accommodations, most with working fireplaces, are housed in condolike, two-story wood-and-stucco buildings fronted by little gardens. Studios have adjoining sitting rooms with sofas and armchairs, dressing areas, and fully equipped eat-in kitchens complete with dishwashers. Every guest receives a welcome basket of microwave popcorn and coffee. TVs have VCRs (you can rent movies nearby), and all rooms have balconies or patios. Duplex penthouses, some with cathedral ceilings, add an upstairs bedroom (with its own bathroom, phone, TV, and radio) and a full dining room.
