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

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.

Little White Chapel
This is arguably the most famous of the chapels on the Strip, maybe because they have the big sign saying Michael Jordan and Joan Collins were married here (again, not to each other), maybe because they were the first to do the drive-up window. Or maybe because this is where Britney and that guy who isn't the guy from Seinfeld began their 51 hours of wedded bliss. (No, we will never, ever get tired of mocking that bit of bad decision-making.) It is indeed little and white. However, it has a factory-line atmosphere, processing wedding after wedding after wedding, 24 hours a day. Move 'em in, and move 'em out. (No wonder they put in that drive-up window!) The staff, dressed in hot-pink smocks, is brusque, hasty, and has a bit of an attitude (though we know one couple who got married here and had no complaints). They do offer full wedding ceremonies, complete with candlelight service and traditional music. There are two chapels, the smaller of which has a large photo of a forest stream. They also have a gazebo for outdoor services, but since it's right on the Strip, it's not as nice as it sounds. If you want something special, there are probably better choices, but for a true Vegas wedding experience, this is Kitsch Wedding Central.

Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy and Mirage Dolphin Habitat
Siegfried & Roy's famous white tigers recently became rather infamous when one of them either did what tigers all do, eventually, and attacked his beloved owner/trainer, or -- depending on whether you buy this story -- helped said beloved owner/trainer when the latter was having a medical emergency. Either way this story is played, it explains why this attraction is still up; no matter what, the tiger is not to blame. We hope this attraction, a gorgeous area behind the dolphin exhibit, stays put for a long time. Here, white lions, Bengal tigers, an Asian elephant, a panther, and a snow leopard join the white tigers (the culprit, Montecore, is not exhibited any longer). It's really just a glorified zoo, featuring only the big-ticket animals; however, it is a very pretty place, with plenty of foliage and some bits of Indian- and Asian-themed architecture. Zoo purists will be horrified at the smallish spaces the animals occupy, but all the animals are rotated between here and their more lavish digs at the illusionist team's home. What this does allow you to do is get very close up to a tiger, which is quite a thrill -- those paws are massive indeed. Visitors are given little portable phonelike objects on which they can play a series of programs, listening to Roy and former Mirage owner Steve Wynn discuss conservation or the attributes of each animal, and deliver anecdotes.The Dolphin Habitat is more satisfying. It was designed to provide a healthy and nurturing environment and to educate the public about marine mammals and their role in the ecosystem. Specialists worldwide were consulted in creating the habitat, which was designed to serve as a model of a quality, man-made environment. The pool is more than eight times larger than government regulations require, and its 2.5 million gallons of man-made seawater are cycled and cleaned once every 2 hours. It must be working, as the adult dolphins here are breeding regularly. The Mirage displays only dolphins already in captivity -- no dolphins are taken from the wild. You can watch the dolphins frolic both above and below ground through viewing windows, in three different pools. (There is nothing quite like the kick you get from seeing a baby dolphin play.) The knowledgeable staff, who surely have the best jobs in Vegas, will answer questions. If they aren't doing it already, ask them to play ball with the dolphins; they toss large beach balls into the pools, and the dolphins hit them out with their noses, leaping out of the water, cackling with dolphin glee. You catch the ball, getting nicely wet, and toss it back to them. If you have never played ball with a dolphin, shove that happy child next to you out of the way and go for it. There is also a video of a resident dolphin (Duchess) giving birth underwater; her fourth calf (30 lb. and 3 ft. long) was born just before Mother's Day in 2003. You can stay as long as you like, which might just be hours.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Las Vegas area, including:

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.

Golden Nugget
The Golden Nugget opened in 1946 as the first building in Las Vegas constructed specifically for casino gambling. Steve Wynn, who is basically responsible for the "new" Vegas hotel look, took the Golden Nugget over as his first major project in Vegas in 1973. He gradually transformed the Old West/Victorian interiors (typical for Downtown) into something more high rent; marble and brass gleam, and the whole package seems considerably more resortlike and genuinely luxurious, especially for downtown Vegas. The sunny interior spaces are a welcome change from the Las Vegas tradition of dim artificial lighting. Don't forget their mascot (well, it ought to be): the world's largest gold nugget. The Hand of Faith nugget weighs in at 61 pounds, 11 ounces, and is on display for all to see.If the decor of The Mirage sounds appealing to you and you want to stay Downtown, come here, because until recently the same people owned them and the rooms look almost identical -- in fact, when The Mirage redid its rooms from a beige palette to a more vividly hued one, the Golden Nugget had the exact same remodel. In the North Tower, the rooms are slightly larger than in the South (and also slightly larger than at The Mirage). You don't have to walk through the casino to get to your room, but you do have to walk a distance to get to the pool. During the winter, they put up a pavilion over part of the pool-deck space to allow for more interior space. The presence of the pool, and general overall quality, makes this the best hotel Downtown for families; the other Downtowners seem geared toward the much older set and/or the single-minded gambler set.The Nugget's superb buffets and Sunday brunch are described in chapter 6. Oh, and yes, there is a casino (don't think they'd forget that!).The Nugget's top-rated health club ($15-per-day fee to use the facilities) offers a full line of Universal equipment, Lifecycles, stair machines, treadmills, rowing machines, free weights, steam sauna, tanning beds, and massage. Salon treatments include everything from leg waxing to seaweed-mask facials. Free Sebastian products are available for sprucing up afterward. The spa's opulent Palladian-mirrored foyer is modeled after a room in New York's Frick Museum.Note: As this guide went to press, MGM MIRAGE sold the Golden Nugget and there were no indications for the new owners' specific plans for the property.

MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
Vegas goes back and forth on its position on whether size does matter, and the MGM Grand is a perfect example of that. When it first opened, the massive glaring green behemoth was the largest hotel in town, with a casino to match -- and its owners were mighty proud of it, boasting still further of their family appropriateness, as typified by the theme park that was originally in the back. But times and emphasis change, and with everyone else in Vegas moving away from the pseudo-family-friendly direction to the whole luxury-resort persona, the MGM Grand had no choice but to follow. So if you book here thinking your kids are still welcome, you should think again. The amusement park in the back is gone, and so is the Wizard of Oz theme that originally gave the hotel its identity. Instead, there are striptease shows and a lounge called Tabú. That sort of thing certainly sends a message.Consider also the place's size. The hotel management now downplays the once touted "hugeness," trying to pretend that the really big casino is actually several medium-big casinos. Whatever. Despite plenty of signage, it is still a lengthy, confusing schlep from anywhere to anywhere. The 80 or so 42-inch TV monitors (apprising registering guests of hotel happenings) in the vast white-marble lobby only add to the chaotic confusion a guest might feel -- all the worse if you are toting kids. (At least the lobby is now immediately accessible from the outside world.)On the absolute plus side, we are just knocked out by the Grand Tower rooms. No cookie-cutter, generic, upscale-but-forgettably-bland furniture here; instead, it's a modern-day homage to 1930s moderne -- all clean, curvy lines, good wood, and a fun palette of colors, plus black-and-white movie-star glamour photos. The results are some of the most distinctive rooms on the Strip -- and even if there are a heck of a lot of them, they are the best choice in town in their price range. The Emerald Tower rooms (about 700 of the hotel's total rooms) are a whole lot less grand. The remnants of the old Marina Hotel, these rooms are plainer (and smaller by about 100 sq. ft.) and more run-of-the-mill (though the windows have shutters, which is semi-nifty). The expanded pool area is another victory, with several choices for dunking, including a lazy river (though we wish portions of it weren't closed off for nonsummer months). Overall, guests report that the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful.MGM houses a prestigious assemblage of dining rooms, among them the Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Emeril Lagasse's New Orleans Fish House. These, along with buffet offerings and the Rainforest Café, are reviewed in Restaurants.As befits a behemoth of this size, there's an appropriately gigantic casino. The family-friendly EFX Alive! has closed, and a new (as yet unnamed) Cirque du Soleil show is due to open by summer 2004. Plus, there's La Femme, a very adult topless show; a hot lounge, Tabú; nightclub Studio 54; a headliner showroom; and a larger events arena that hosts sporting events and bigger concerts. See Nightlife for details on all the nightlife options.The MGM Grand's spa is a Zen-Asian minimalist wonder, all natural stone and aged wood. The services offered are quite marvelous -- for a romantic outing or a Mother's Day treat, try the half-day full services and private room (it's a mere $400, but for what you get, it might be worth the price). The state-of-the-art health club is larger than most, with some serious machines, including ones equipped with fancy computer video monitors (it'll cost you $25 to work up a sweat here most of the day, but you can use the gym facilities only, without the whirlpools and other amenities of the spa, for only $10 after 6pm).The swimming pool area is a rousing success. The 6.6 acres of landscaped grounds feature five pools, including the longest lazy river in town.Facilities: Casino; events arena; showroom; cabaret theater; 2 wedding chapels; 14 restaurants; outdoor pool; fitness center and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
