During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Desert Rose Golf Club
This is an 18-hole, par-71 public course built in 1963 and designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee. Narrow fairways feature Bermuda turf. You can reserve tee times up to 7 days in advance.Yardage: 6,511 championship, 6,135 regular, and 5,458 ladies.Facilities: Driving range, putting and chipping greens, PGA teaching pro, pro shop, restaurant, and cocktail lounge.
Imperial Palace
The 75,000-square-foot casino here reflects the hotel's pagoda-roofed Asian exterior with a dragon-motif ceiling and giant wind-chime chandeliers. There is a Breathalyzer for voluntary alcohol-limit checks on your way to the parking lot (useful, since there are nine bars on the casino premises). The Imperial Palace boasts a 230-seat race and sports book, attractively decorated with oil murals of sporting events; the room is tiered like a grandstand, and every seat has its own color monitor. One giant slot machine is red, white, and blue; try singing the National Anthem to it, and see if you win more money. One kitsch feature of note is the casino's Legends Pit, where, on weekends after 6pm, celebrity impersonators aping everyone from Elvis to Madonna deal blackjack. This is also one of the few places on this part of the Strip where you might be able to find $5 table minimums.
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.
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.
Lake Mead Lodge
If camping isn't your bag, spend your night or nights at this rustic and comfortable bungalow-style lodge. It's an easy drive from Hoover Dam and is right on the lake, but also right on the desert, so don't picture it as a wooded resort. The rooms are pleasant, with wood-paneled ceilings and walls of white-painted brick or rough-hewn pine. All offer full private bathrooms. There is a suite with three rooms and a small kitchen, which might be good for families staying a few days. (There are plans to add a second suite.) The pool is rudimentary, but you might want to relax with a good book in one of the gazebos on the property. About 1/2 mile down the road is the marina, where you can while away a few hours over cocktails on a lakeside patio. The marina (the Lake Mead Resort and Marina) is the headquarters for boating, fishing, and watersports; it also houses a large shop (see marina details above, under "Boating & Fishing").There's a nautically themed restaurant called Tale of the Whale (tel. 702/293-3484) at the marina, its rough-hewn pine interior embellished with various seafaring iconography. It's open from 7am to 8pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 9pm Friday and Saturday (it closes an hour later during the summer). The restaurant serves hearty breakfasts; sandwiches, salads, and burgers at lunch; and steak-and-seafood dinners. And Boulder Beach, also an easy walk from the lodge, has waterfront picnic tables and barbecue grills.
THEhotel at Mandalay Bay
The rather silly nomenclature of this new, utterly fabulous Vegas accommodation reminds us of our previous consideration regarding the Four Seasons' relationship with Mandalay Bay (located on the top floors, but operated as a separate entity) -- it's part of the hotel, but not precisely the hotel. In this case, this really is THE hotel, in all senses, not least of which is that even though we were quite fond of Mandalay Bay prior to the opening of this conjoined twin of a property, we now think of it, if we do at all, rather as the frowzy sister from the sticks who looks tawdry and rumpled next to its sleek Vogue magazine editor sibling. (Actually, we still like Mandalay Bay a great deal.) Yes, if Prada were a hotel, it would look something like THEhotel. Certainly, if there are Prada wearers in town, we bet they are going to be staying here.The new trend in Vegas hotels seems to be hotels that allow you, if you so choose, to forget you are in Vegas. Nevermind that psychology. What that translates to here is an entirely separate entrance, and an entirely different atmosphere. This is not a casino hotel -- though it is connected to one by a long hallway -- but a world of sleek towering walls of lighting, ambiguous modern art, and both guests and employees in head-to-toe black. Like any good Vegas hotel, it wows you from the start, but not in the usual Vegas marble-gilt-and-chandelier screaming over the top "look-how-you-can-live-if-only-you-hit-that-jackpot-over-there" way, but in a way that coolly says, "You probably already live like this, don't you?" while handing you a nicely chilled Cosmopolitan. In other words, this isn't Donald Trump's version of the best, but rather that of Mr. Big from Sex and the City. Don't get us wrong -- everything here is still out-of-proportion large -- but it's sophisticated and chic, all blacks, tans, woods, and mid-century modern sharp lines. We fell for it instantly, and that's before we went to our room. Ah, the rooms; every one is a genuine suite (not just separated living room and bedroom, but even wet bar and second WC), done in more black, tans, and gleaming woods, like your professionally decorated Manhattan dream apartment. There are plasma-screen TVs in every room, including the enormous marbled bathroom, where the tub is so deep the water came up to our chin when we sat down. Bath amenities are posh, the comforters are down, and the sheets -- well, remember our complaints about how you just can't get good sheets in big hotels? Feel the soft heft of these. That's what we want. One complaint might be the excess of mirrors (the wall-length double closet and TV cabinet are covered in them, as is another wall), and the overall lack of good lighting. But seriously, you won't care. For once, a hotel room in Vegas designed to make you want to stay put. Not that you have to; as stated, all the amenities of Mandalay Bay (their incredible pool area, a number of terrific restaurants) are just down a long hall, though the instant you step from this grown-up world into the world of, well, noisy grown-up pursuits, which isn't the same thing at all, you might well want to turn right back around.Having raved about it all, we do have some complaints. The staff are hardly cuddly and service reflects that. Costs at the sleek cafes are higher than even the usual elevated hotel restaurant prices. The gorgeous health club and spa, Spa Mandalay, while state-of-the-art, will set you back $30 a day. (And spa services are even more.) This is the place we would splash out on (and certainly would leap on any specials offered), but with the understanding that it's still, despite appearances, a Vegas hotel, though very likely the best there is.In room: A/C, 3 flatscreen plasma TVs, CD/DVD, combo printer/fax, high-speed Internet access, wet bar, minibar, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, robes and slippers, scale.
