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

Golden Nugget
While this is not the standout among casino properties developed by Steve Wynn (and recently sold by MGM MIRAGE to Internet entrepreneurs Thomas Breitling and Timothy Poster), it's still one of the nicest places to gamble, lookswise, in Downtown. (We prefer Main Street Station, but you might prefer the more obvious attempts at class that this place exudes.) That's because this looks like old Vegas, but in the classy, gilded, glittery golden, cramped way, rather than the current dingy and depressing way. Some tables are only $5 minimum, at least during the day. And compared to most other Downtown properties, this is the most like the Strip. There's no word on what the new owners plan to do to the casino, but they've promised to bring back "Old Vegas" style to Downtown. Stay tuned.

The Venetian
"Tasteful" is the watchword in these days of classy Vegas gaming, and consequently, with the exception of more hand-painted Venetian art re-creations on parts of the ceiling, The Venetian's casino is interchangeable with those found at Mandalay Bay, the Monte Carlo, and to a certain extent Bellagio. All that gleaming marble, columns, and such is very nice, but after a while it's also a bit ho-hum. Besides, this is Vegas, and we want our tacky theme elements, by gosh. The lack thereof, combined with poor signage, may be why this casino is so hard to get around -- every part looks exactly the same. It's not precisely claustrophobic, but it can be confusing. Plus, there is no (at this writing) giant slot machine. On the other hand, we made a killing at blackjack and my editor struck it rich at the slots, so we have to love the place for those reasons. Another (less personal) plus is that you can access the casino directly from the St. Mark's Square re-creation out front. The smoke-sensitive report that the ventilation system here seems to be tops.

The Golden Gate
This is one of the oldest casinos in Downtown, and though its age is showing, it's still fun to go there. As you might expect from the name, old San Francisco artifacts and decor abound (think earthquake time). At one end of the narrow casino is the bar, where a piano player performs ragtime jazz, which is better than the homogenized pop offered in most casino lounges. Unfortunately, the low ceiling, dark period wallpaper, and small dimensions give this a high claustrophobia level.

The Mirage
Even though it has become somewhat eclipsed by the very hotels whose presence it made possible, we still really like this place. From the moment you walk in and breathe the faintly tropically perfumed air (we think it's vanilla) and enter the lush rainforest, it's just a different experience from most Vegas hotels.The Mirage was Steve Wynn's first project built from the ground up. It seems funny now, but back in 1989, this was considered a complete gamble that was sure to be a failure. That was before the hotel opened, mind you. On opening day, the crowds nearly tore the place down getting inside, and The Mirage soon made its money back. Now it is the model upon which all recent hotels have been based.Occupying 102 acres, The Mirage is fronted by more than a city block of cascading waterfalls and tropical foliage centering on a "volcano," which, after dark, erupts every 15 minutes, spewing fire 100 feet above the lagoons below. To be honest, it's not very volcano-like; if you've seen any of the lava-saturated volcano movies, you'll be disappointed. Instead of lava flow, expect a really neat light show, and you won't mind a bit. (In passing, that volcano cost $30 million, which is equal to the entire original construction cost for Caesars next door.) The lobby is dominated by a 53-foot, 20,000-gallon simulated coral-reef aquarium stocked with more than 1,000 colorful tropical fish. This gives you something to look at while waiting (never for long) for check-in.Next, you'll walk through the rainforest, which occupies a 90-foot domed atrium -- a path meanders through palms, banana trees, waterfalls, and serene pools. If we must find a complaint with The Mirage, it's with the next bit, as you have to negotiate 8 miles (or so it seems) of casino mayhem to get to your room, the pool, food, or the outside world. It gets old, fast. (On the other hand, the sundries shop is located right next to the guest-room elevators, so if you forgot toothpaste, you don't have to travel miles to get more.)The rooms have recently been redone to a strong color palette that is oddly similar to the rooms' original tropical decor scheme. Frankly, it's here most of all where The Mirage isn't holding up its end; the rooms are nice, but there are nicer -- and larger -- ones all over town now, and the bathrooms are a little too cramped for what's supposed to be a swanky hotel.Off the casino is a habitat for Siegfried and Roy's white tigers -- yes, still in place despite the recent unpleasantness, a plaster enclosure that allows for photo-taking and "aaaahhhs." Behind the pool is the Dolphin Habitat and Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden -- at this writing, Montecore had been taken off this exhibit -- which has a separate admission.The superb Renoir, the Italian food at Onda, and the Mirage Buffet are detailed in Restaurants.The highly prominent production show by Danny Gans is reviewed in chapter 10, and The Mirage has one of our favorite casinos.Out back is the pool, one of the nicest in Vegas, with a quarter-mile shoreline, a tropical paradise of waterfalls and trees, water slides, and so forth. It looks inviting, but truth be told, it's sometimes on the chilly side and isn't very deep. But it's so pretty you'll hardly care. Free swimming lessons and water-aerobics classes take place daily at the pool. The Mirage Day Spa teems with friendly staff anxious to pamper you, bringing you iced towels to cool you during your workout and refreshing juices and smoothies afterward. The gym is one of the largest and best stocked on the Strip.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 14 restaurants; beautiful outdoor pool; fitness center and spa; 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.

TI at the Mirage
Huh? What happened to Treasure Island? What happened to the pirates? Why, Vegas grew up, that's what. Or, rather, it wants the kids it once actively tried to court to grow up, or at least, not come around until they are able to drink and gamble properly.Originally the most modern family-friendly hotel, the former Treasure Island was a blown-up version of Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean. But that's all behind them now, and the name change is there to make sure you understand this is a grown-up, sophisticated resort. There might still be the odd pirate element here and there, but only because someone absent-mindedly missed it in a recent ruthless purging of the last remnants. The latest victim is the pirate stunt show out front; it's been revamped so that the pirates, and you have no idea how much we wish we were making this up, now "battle" scantily clad "strippers" -- er, "sirens."To be fair, none of this matters a whit, unless, like us, you got a kick out of the skulls and crossbones, and treasure chests bursting with jewels and gold, that originally decorated the place. What remains, after they stripped the pirate gilt, is such a nice place to stay that in some ways, it even outranks its older sister, The Mirage. The well-sized rooms pretty much follow the pattern of The Mirage's last phase of room decor -- modified French Regency with a mélange of patterns, but the monochromatic color (many shades of gold) tones it down, and overall, while not distinctive, per se, they are much nicer than most in their price range. Good bathrooms feature a large soaking tub -- a bather's delight. Best of all, Strip-side rooms have a view of the pirate battle -- views are best from the sixth floor on up. You know, so you can see right down the sirens' dresses.The hotel offers a premier restaurant, the Buccaneer Bay Club, a hotel buffet, and the new branch of Los Angeles's Canter's deli that just opened. The Battle Bar, in the casino near the race and sports book, is being redone as we write this, but does provide patio seating overlooking Buccaneer Bay; for the best possible view of what's now going to be called "The Sirens of TI," arrive at least 45 minutes before the show and snag a table by the railing. Treasure Island is home to Cirque du Soleil's Mystère , one of the best shows in town.A free tram travels between Treasure Island and The Mirage almost around the clock. For a good photo op, sit in the front of the first car: As you leave the loading dock, note how The Mirage, palm trees, and a bit of the New York-New York skyline are framed in an attractive, and surreal, manner.There's a full-service spa and health club with a complement of machines, plus sauna, steam, whirlpool, massage, on-site trainers, TVs and stereos with headsets, and anything else you might need (including a full line of Sebastian grooming products in the women's locker room). There's a $20-per-day fee to use the facilities.The pool is not that memorable, with none of the massive foliage and other details that make the one at The Mirage stand out (so blah is it that the staff didn't even bother to check room keys when last we swam here). It's a large, free-form swimming pool with a 230-foot loop slide and a nicely landscaped sun-deck area. It's often crawling with kids, so if that's a turn-off, go elsewhere.Facilities: Casino; showrooms; 11 restaurants; outdoor pool; fitness center and spa; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
