During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Caesars Palace
Caesars' casino is simultaneously the ultimate in gambling luxury and the ultimate in Vegas kitsch. Cocktail waitresses in togas parade about, as you gamble under the watchful gaze of faux-marble Roman statues. The very high ceiling in certain areas of the casino makes for a very low claustrophobia level, especially thanks to the recent face-lift, which has lightened up the paint and made the area much brighter. Unfortunately, some spots in the casino are dark and entirely too claustrophobic. Although we love it, the casino has become somewhat confusing and unmanageable because of its size and meandering layout, like Caesars itself.A notable facility is the state-of-the-art Race and Sports Book, with huge electronic display boards and giant video screens. (Caesars pioneered computer-generated wagering data that can be communicated in less than half a second, and has sophisticated satellite equipment that can pick up the broadcast of virtually any sporting event in the world.) The domed VIP slot arena of the Forum Casino (minimum bet is $5, but you can wager up to $1,500 on a single pull!) is a plush, crystal-chandeliered precinct with seating in roomy, adjustable chairs. Gamblers can accumulate bonus points toward cash back, gifts, gratis show tickets, meals, and rooms by joining the players club, also valid at sister properties like Bally's and Paris. Club membership also lets you in on grand-prize drawings, tournaments, and parties.The most upscale of the Caesars gaming rooms is the intimate, European-style casino adjoining the Palace Court restaurant. It's a gorgeous and elegant place to gamble, but we've never won there, so we hate it.
Aladdin
No telling what will happen to all the actual Moroccan tile (and other Arabian Nights touches) that makes us like this casino so much, when new owners, Planet Hollywood, finally get their mitts on it. But right now, it's just good and tacky. It's big, with high ceilings that help the claustrophobia index, but it's also confusingly laid out, though a recent revamping of the floor has helped alleviate the problem some. Still, we won with the giant slot machine, and one of our moms won there, so, hey, no complaints. Also, the big problem, from the hotel's standpoint, though not really from ours, is that it was planned so that one was not required to walk through it to get to other Aladdin goodies, but what that does mean is that, in some ways, it's kind of hard to find -- which is not good for business. That may change, maybe even by the time you read this, as there are plans in the works to restructure the outside to make casino passage virtually mandatory. A bigger potential change to keep in mind is that plan Planet Hollywood has to remake the casino in its own image (what that means is hard to say, but we can all probably look to the Hard Rock for ideas). Do notice the European-style gaming salon that is operated by famed London Clubs International. It has its own private entrance and elevator, a gourmet restaurant, and 24-hour butler service in addition to the high-stakes tables and slots. Too rich for our blood, but perhaps not for yours.
Neonopolis
It's hard to get visitors Downtown, but if you are genuinely looking for activities that do not have to do with gambling, this $100 million open-air restaurant, shop, and entertainment complex (with an 11-screen movie theater) provides plenty of motivation. Located right at the Fremont Street Experience, where Fremont Street meets Las Vegas Boulevard South, it's basically a big, open-air mall, but one that is powered by Jillian's, a national chain that specializes in creating little urban entertainment centers (they are behind the similar Metreon in San Francisco), with a state-of-the-art arcade (as well stocked, from air hockey to virtual-reality games, as we've ever seen), bowling alley, billiards, two bars, a nightclub, and a restaurant all in one tidy package. It's not a 24-hour joint, but the hours are long enough that nongamblers can amuse themselves here while the gamblers in their party are doing their thing. The cafe has an extensive menu (from hamburgers to jambalaya), with most items in the $4 to $10 range and as tasty as you could want from such a place. It's too close to the Fremont Street Experience not to go and has too much to offer not to stay, but it is too noisy, thanks to happy kids and teenagers, to want to stay too long, depending on where you fit in those demographics.
Orleans
The Orleans is a little out of the way, and there is virtually nothing around it, but with a 12-screen movie complex, complete with a food court and day-care center, a bowling alley (that keeps ridiculously late hours; we know more than one recent guest who found a 3-4am game just the right way to wind down after a hectic clubbing night), and a new 9,000-seat arena for a minor-league hockey team (but also available for concerts and the like), this is a reasonable alternative to staying on the hectic Strip. Plus, there is a shuttle that runs continuously to the Barbary Coast on the Strip. The facade is aggressively fake New Orleans, more reminiscent of Disneyland than the actual Big Easy. Inside it's much of the same. But a bright casino (complete with Cajun and zydeco music over the loudspeakers) and a policy of handing out Mardi Gras beads at all the restaurants and bars (ask if you haven't gotten yours) make for a pleasantly festive atmosphere.If the prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location, though the staff can be rotten, which can seriously sour a bargain experience. (On the other hand, room service seems fine.) The rooms are nice enough and you'll find the largest standard rooms in town, or so the hotel claims. They all have a definite New Orleans-French feel. Each is L-shaped, with a seating alcove by the windows, and comes complete with an old-fashioned, overstuffed chair and sofa. The beds have brass headboards, the lamps (including some funky iron floor lamps) look antique, and lace curtains flutter at the windows. The one drawback is that all these furnishings, and the busy floral decorating theme, make the room seem crowded (particularly down by the seating area in front of the bathrooms). Still, it's meant to evoke a cozy, warm Victorian parlor, which traditionally is very overcrowded, so maybe it's successful after all. There are 1,400 newer rooms in a recently built tower, and these hold to the same surprisingly nice standard.The hotel has your basic Vegas-type places to eat. Worth noting is the moderately priced Italian Sazio, Big Al's Oyster Bar, a not unauthentic Creole/Cajun-themed restaurant, and Don Miguel's, a basic but satisfying Mexican restaurant that makes its own tortillas while you watch. There are several bars, including one with live music at night. The Orleans Showroom is an 827-seat theater featuring live entertainment, the Orleans Arena is a 9,000-plus-seat facility for concerts and sporting events, and, of course, there's a casino.Facilities: Casino; showroom; 12 restaurants; 2 outdoor pools; health club; 70-lane bowling center; 12 movie theaters; Kids Tyme children's center offering amusements and day care for kids 12 and under; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
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.
Aladdin Resort & Casino
Note: As we were going to press, the beleaguered and bankrupt Aladdin had been bought by Planet Hollywood, which, as of now, intends to rename, remodel, and restyle the property. This process should be complete by the time you read this so don't be confused if there is a big blue globe out front, a new name, and lots of cast-off clothes and props from various Hollywood movies enshrined inside.It's a bit of a pity, because the new Aladdin, rising on the ashes of the old Vegas stalwart, which was desperately out of date, is a handsome building both inside and out. The theme is a generic Middle East theme -- you know, the sort that pretends there is no significant difference between Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey, which may be news to Egyptians, Moroccans, and Turks -- best characterized by one observer as "the Sahara with a billion dollars thrown at it." Details that indicate considerable thought went into the design are everywhere -- what other casino has actual tile work (clearly Moroccan in origin) throughout? But all that work came at a price, hence a $700 million bankruptcy -- the largest in Nevada history.That petty detail aside, this is already what a sexy, but distinctly Vegas, hotel ought to be: a little bit of kitsch, a little bit of class, and all of it playful. And we hope that the new owners will concentrate on maintaining and building on these aspects. The rooms are not distinctive, but they are pleasing (except for the beds -- the money must have run out before buying the mattresses, which are some of the most uncomfortable we've slept on), and the bathrooms can be quite large, with a deep tub and separate glass shower, plus little Aladdin-lamp-shaped faucets and exotic spice-scented amenities. Another plus is that the hotel is constructed so that guests need to see little of the casino (a plus for you, a drag for needed gambling revenue, and likely one of the first things the new owners will change), while the pool area is decent but nothing spectacular.And then there is the Desert Passage shopping area, another one to rival the capitalist ventures over at Caesars and The Venetian. This has also been sold to a new owner (separate from Planet Hollywood) so the Arabian Nights theme, all Casbah this and Sultan that, may not stay but the plan for now is to keep this theme. As is, it's impressive, to be sure, and better still for the live-action touches such as jugglers, acrobats, and belly dancers who pop up regularly to entertain shoppers and add that hectic souk feel to the experience. Inside the Desert Passage are a number of terrific restaurants, including a branch of New Orleans's venerated Commander's Palace. The hotel also has its own arena, the Center for the Performing Arts, which is attracting big names back to Vegas. Finally, there is the Elemis spa, maybe aesthetically our hands-down local favorite. The owners (who also run Elemis in London) sent their designers to Morocco for ideas, and it shows in this Medina-flavored facility; just looking at it is pampering, and that's before one of their attentive staff puts you in a wrap and "dry float" (a womblike water bed-style cradle). No word whether the new owners will revamp this facility like the rest of the property.All in all, the place teeters on the brink of a higher rating, and all we can hope is that the new owners help push it over the hump, rather than in the other direction. The place deserves it.Facilities: Casino; performing-arts center; showroom; 19 restaurants; 7 bars/lounges; 2 outdoor pools; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
