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

Paris-Las Vegas Casino
Surrounded by a rather Disneyesque one-third-scale replica of the streets of Paris, this 83,000-square-foot casino is a very pleasant place to gamble, in that Vegas-gimmick kind of way. It's one of those kitschy places that "real" gamblers are appalled by. To heck with them, we say. A tall ceiling gives the illusion that you are trying to bust the bank while strolling outside, and results in an airy effect. The place doesn't feel all that large, thanks to a meandering layout. There are over 2,000 slot machines and over 100 table games. A state-of-the-art race and sports book features live satellite feeds of sporting events from around the world. The Paris's players club is under the umbrella of Caesars Entertainment -- owners of Paris, Bally's, Caesars, and The Flamingo -- so you can rack up points at one casino and redeem them at any in the family.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway
This 107,000-seat facility was the first new super-speedway to be built in the Southwest in over 2 decades. A $100 million state-of-the-art motor-sports entertainment complex, it includes a 1 1/2-mile super-speedway, a 2 1/2-mile FIA-approved road course, paved and dirt short-track ovals, and a 4,000-foot drag strip. Also on the property are facilities for Go-Kart, Legends Car, Sand Drag, and Motocross competition. The new speedway is accessible via shuttle buses to and from the Imperial Palace hotel, though some of the other major hotels have their own shuttles to the speedway.

The Arts Factory
Believe it or not, Las Vegas has a burgeoning art scene (what some would consider soul-crushing is what others consider inspirational), and this complex, located in the Gateway district, is the place to find proof. It features a few galleries and a number of work spaces for local artists. Several of the spaces are closed to the public. On the first Friday of each month, they have a party event (unimaginatively named "First Friday") showcasing local artists and arts-oriented businesses, with live music, street performances, and other entertainment and activities. Visit their website for further details.

Las Vegas Hilton
It's easy for us to overlook this dinosaur -- look, we even called it a dinosaur. Totally unfair. It's one of the last of the dying breed of old Vegas hotels, but unlike many of its peers, it's still offering fine accommodations and even a bit more than that. Consider it even if you aren't an old-timer, and don't be put off by the distance from the Strip; the Monorail stops here, making access easier than ever. When you consider that on nights when you can't touch a room on the Strip for less than $175, the Hilton will put you in a nice room with plenty of marble (including large bathtubs) and clean, well-maintained furnishings for a decent price, then it seems silly to not make the Hilton a top choice more often. The clientele is a mix of savvy business travelers who know a good hotel deal when they see it and Trekkers lured in by the Spacequest Casino and Star Trek: The Experience (which got a recent fancy addition in the form of the 4-D Borg Invasion). There are quite a few solidly good restaurants.Those very same facilities, however, mean that even a small convention can sometimes drive the prices up at odd times -- then again, since conventions are often booked for weekdays, that can also mean atypical drops in price on weekends. Just call.Note: As we went to press, the Hilton was sold to a new owner. There are no concrete plans for any changes, but hints indicate potentially dramatic ones, including turning part of the hotel into timeshares. Be aware that by the time you read this, some of the information contained herein may have changed.The Hilton has a strong showing of restaurants, including a Benihana and a buffet that's reviewed in chapter 6. Note: Children 12 and under can dine in any Hilton restaurant for half the listed menu prices, making this a great option for budget-conscious families.The Nightclub, a first-rate casino lounge, has live entertainment nightly. It's a great place to hang out in the evening and features regular sets by local cover bands. One of Elvis's sequined jumpsuits is enshrined in a glass case in the front, near the entrance to the lobby/casino (he played 837 sold-out shows here). In addition, Colonel Tom Parker's memorial service was held here in the hotel. There's also a major headliner showroom (see Nightlife).There are also a number of shops, plus the above-mentioned Star Trek: The Experience, the themed attraction, with its accompanying space-themed casino, one that is especially well designed, with some fun gimmicks.The third-floor roof comprises a beautifully landscaped 8-acre recreation deck with a large swimming pool, a 24-seat whirlpool spa, six Har-Tru tennis courts lit for night play, Ping-Pong, and a putting green. Also on this level is a luxurious 17,000-square-foot state-of-the-art health club offering Nautilus equipment, Lifecycles, treadmills, rowing machines, three whirlpool spas, steam, sauna, massage, and tanning beds. There's a $20-per-day fee to use the facilities, but guests are totally pampered: All toiletries are provided; there are comfortable TV lounges; complimentary bottled waters and juices are served in the canteen; and treatments include facials and oxygen pep-ups (you inhale pure oxygen).Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 13 restaurants; outdoor pool; golf course adjacent; 6 tennis courts (4 night-lit); health club and spa; Jacuzzi; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.

Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay is one of our favorite hotels. Why? Well, we love that the lobby (impossibly high ceilings, calm, gleaming with marble, and housing a large aquarium) and the other public areas really do make this seem more like an actual resort hotel than just a Vegas version of one. You don't have to walk through the casino to get to any of these public areas or the guest-room elevators, the pool area is spiffy, and the whole complex is marginally less confusing and certainly less overwhelming than some of the neighboring behemoths.We wouldn't say it really evokes colonial Southeast Asia -- oh, maybe around the edges, if you squint, thanks to the odd bit of foliage or Balinese carving. This may well keep out the gawkers, who are looking for bigger visual thrills, but we find a place whose theme doesn't bop you over the head refreshing.The rooms are among the most desirable on the Strip (king rooms are more attractive than doubles), spacious and subdued in decor. Tropical influence seems to be limited to faux leopard-skin chairs by the worktables, and plantation shutter doors to closets and the bathroom (unfortunately, the bathroom's shutter doors seem to not entirely join together, leaving a gap of varying size). King beds have large, carved headboard posts and firm mattresses. The bathrooms are the crowning glory -- probably the best on the Strip -- they're downright large, with impressive, slightly sunken tubs, glassed-in showers, double sinks, and separate water closets, plus fab amenities and lots of them. (Bathrobes are available on request.)Service overall is pretty good, and those pool-area employees are the tops in Vegas, though there were no security guards at the guest elevators. A monorail system connects the hotel with Luxor and Excalibur, which are located in the heart of the Strip action, and this should more than help you get over any feelings of isolation.The restaurants in Mandalay Bay feature some of the most innovative interiors in Vegas, each one more whimsical and imaginative than the next. Even if you don't eat at the hotel, drop in and poke around the restaurants. Aureole, a branch of Charlie Palmer's renowned New York City restaurant, the Border Grill, Red Square, and the buffet are reviewed in chapter 6. And then there's rumjungle, which features a dramatically skewered, all-you-can-eat, multicourse Brazilian feast, which you'll enjoy while listening to world-beat drums, surrounded by walls of fire and water and other striking visual features. More casual food can be found at the House of Blues, whose Southern delicacies are often quite palate pleasing; HOB is probably the best place in town to see rock bands. Mandalay Bay has a showroom and a separate arena, which was inaugurated by none other than Luciano Pavarotti, and currently offers Mamma Mia!, the Broadway musical of ABBA songs. See Nightlife for details on the hotel's major nightlife offerings. There's also a big, comfortable casino, airier and less claustrophobic than most, plus three bars, often featuring live music (including rock impersonator acts) at night.There are no fewer than four pools (entering this area is like going to a water park, thanks to upgraded security -- all guests, regardless of age, must show a room key), including the touted wave pool, which is unfortunately a classic example of Vegas bait-and-switch. It can't handle waves of any serious size, but bobbing in the miniwaves is delightful, as is floating happily in the lazy river (tubes are available for rental -- we say save some bucks and share a tube with friends, taking turns using it). All in all, this area alone makes this resort a top choice for families, sans, perhaps, the topless swimming area.The health club is sufficiently stocked to give you a good workout (it should be, as they charge guests $27 per day to use it). The spa area proper -- featuring hot and warm pools, plus a cold plunge -- is exotically designed, as close to those found in the Turkish spas in Eastern Europe as we've come across, though without the patina (read: weathered decay) of decades or centuries, which can be a good thing. Load up on that rich moisturizer when dressing -- it costs $17 a bottle in the store outside the door.See the separate listing for Mandalay Bay's new THEhotel addition.Facilities: Casino; 12,000-seat events center; 1,700-seat performing-arts theater; 16 restaurants; 4 outdoor pools; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment/rental; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; 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.
