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

MGM Grand Lion Habitat
Hit this attraction at the right time and it's one of the best freebies in town. It's a large, multilevel glass enclosure, in which various lions frolic during various times of day. In addition to regular viewing spots, you can walk through a glass tunnel and get a worm's-eye view of the underside of a lion (provided one is in position); note how very big Kitty's paws are. Multiple lions share show duties (about 6 hr. on, and then 2 days off at a ranch for some free-range activity, so they're never cooped up here for long). So you could see any combo -- from one giant male to a pack of five females who have grown from cub to near adult-size during their MGM time. Each comes with a trainer or three, who are there to keep the lions busy with play, so they don't act like the big cats they are and sleep the whole time. But obviously, photo ops are more likely to occur as the more frisky younger set tussles, so what you observe is definitely going to depend on who is in residence when you drop by. (And, of course, actually seeing anything depends on how many other people think this is a two-star attraction; hordes of tourists are often pressed against the glass, preventing you, not to mention your kids, from doing the same.)

Westward Ho Hotel & Casino
This small but centrally located Strip casino hosts many slot tournaments, and slot players who obtain Preferred Customer cards can amass credits toward complimentary rooms, meals, and shows, among other benefits.

Mon Bel Ami Wedding Chapel
Formerly the Silver Bells chapel, this is a spanking new redo, a pretty little churchlike building complete with a big gold and flower bedecked chapel room (maybe the taller peaked ceiling gives that effect) fitted with surround-sound speakers, new wood fittings, carpet, and paint. The Cupid bas-relief is a bit much. They do frilly and fancy wedding receptions, as well as events where white doves are released. Perhaps because of this, the establishment seems to attract less walk-ins than pre-booked weddings, so you should call in advance or you might be stuck in the Strip-side gazebo.

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

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
As soon as you check out the Hard Rock clientele, you'll know you are in a Vegas hotel that's like no other. The body-fat percentage (and median age) plummets; the percentage of black clothing skyrockets. Yep, the hip -- including Hollywood and the music industry, among others -- flock to the Hard Rock, drawn by the cool 'n' rockin' ambience and the goodies offered by a boutique hotel (only in Vegas could 657 rooms be considered a "boutique hotel"). Our problem is that we are not famous pop stars and we do not look enough like Pamela Anderson to warrant the kind of attention that the staff seems to reserve for those types.It's that Boomer-meets-Gen-X sensibility that finds tacky-chic so very hip. Luckily, the "no-tell motel" look of the older rooms has been updated to more closely match the decor of the rooms in the new addition. We still aren't crazy about the decor scheme in any of them -- even the newer section is too '60s-futuristic hip to come off as posh, and all of it is showing more wear than it ought to. Bathrooms are a big step forward -- bigger, brighter, and shinier, though in the older section they can be cramped, spacewise, in suites. On a high note, the beds have feather pillows, and mattresses are surprisingly comfortable. Uncharacteristically large 27-inch TVs (most hotel sets are smaller, since they want you in the casino, not staring at the tube) offer special music channels.The lobby borders on the casino (you can see how that immediately plunges you into the action, like it or not), which takes the center position in the round public area you immediately enter when arriving. On the perimeter is a collection of rock memorabilia, ranging from sad (a Kurt Cobain tribute) to cool (various guitars and outfits) to useless (various other guitars and outfits). The Hard Rock now has a permanent, if unwelcome and sad, bit of rock memorabilia for its collection: John Entwistle, bassist for the Who, died in one of its rooms on the eve of the start of a tour with the band.There are several fine restaurants, including AJs Steakhouse, a tribute to owner Peter Morton's dad, who brought us the legendary Morton's. You'll also find Nobu, a branch of highly famed chef Nobu Matsuhisa's wildly popular Japanese restaurant. Kicky and funky Mexican food can be had at lunch and dinner in the Mexican, folk-art-filled Cantina Pink Taco, while three diner-type meals a day are served at the 22-seat Counter. The Hard Rock's premier restaurant, Mortoni's, is a beauty that serves vast portions of Italian fare. Mr. Lucky's 24/7 is the hotel's round-the-clock coffee shop, displaying rock memorabilia and old Las Vegas hotel signs. And the Hard Rock Cafe is adjacent to the hotel.The Joint is a major showroom that often hosts big-name rock musicians.If you've ever dreamed of being in a beach party movie, or on the set of one of those MTV summer beach-house shows, the reconstructed pool at the Hard Rock is for you. Multiple pools are joined by a lazy river, and fringed in spots by actual sand beaches. You won't get much swimming done -- the water is largely so shallow that it won't hit your knees -- but there is swim-up blackjack (they give you little plastic pouches to hold your money), and a stage that features live music in the summer and is fronted by a sandy area, so you can make like Frankie, Annette, and Erik Von Zipper and do the Watusi. Or just pose in a thong bikini and new breasts. Whichever. On warm days and nights, this is the hangout scene.The newly refurbished spa is smaller than its Strip counterparts but is soothing in its posh Space-Age-Zen way, and the health club is plenty large and well equipped, offering a full complement of Cybex equipment, stair machines, treadmills, massage, and steam rooms. There's an $18 per day fee to use the health-club facilities.

Clarion Hotel & Suites -- Emerald Springs
Recently switched from the Holiday Inn brand to Clarion, we aren't sure if over time that will make an ounce of difference. We hope that if it does, it's not for the negative. Housed in three peach-stucco buildings, the Emerald Springs offers a friendly, low-key alternative to the usual glitz and glitter of Vegas accommodations. You'll enter via a charming marble-floored lobby with a waterfall fountain and lush, faux tropical plantings under a domed skylight. Off the lobby is a comfortably furnished lounge with a large-screen TV and working fireplace. Typical of the inn's hospitality, there is a bowl of apples for the taking at the front desk, something we usually only see in more expensive hotels. (Why is that? It's not like the fruit is expensive.) Although your surroundings here are serene, you're only 3 blocks from the heart of the Strip.Public areas and rooms here are notably clean and spiffy. Pristine hallways are hung with nice abstract paintings and have small seating areas on every level, and rooms are nicely decorated with bleached-oak furnishings. Even the smallest accommodations (studios) offer small sofas, desks, and armchairs with hassocks.

Best Western Mardi Gras Inn
This well-run little casino hotel has a lot to offer, and is apparently popular with budget-minded Europeans (which can sometimes result in some risqué Continental-style sunbathing around the pool). A block from the Convention Center and close to major properties, its three-story building sits on nicely landscaped grounds. There's a gazebo out back where guests can enjoy a picnic lunch.Accommodations are all spacious: queen-bedded minisuites with sofa-bedded living-room areas and eat-in kitchens, the latter equipped with wet bars, refrigerators, and coffeemakers. All are midlevel motel okay, but they were recently redone so the furnishings and so forth should be fresh. Staying here is like having your own little Las Vegas apartment. A pleasant restaurant/bar off the lobby, open from 6:30am to 11pm daily, serves typical coffee-shop fare; a 12-ounce prime rib dinner here is just $9.
