During your Las Vegas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Binion's Horseshoe
Binion's has had quite the ride lately. Here's the back story: Professionals in the know say that "for the serious player, the Binions are this town." Benny Binion could neither read nor write, but boy did he know how to run a casino. His venerable establishment has been eclipsed over the years, but it claims the highest betting limits in Las Vegas on all games (probably in the entire world, according to a spokesperson). Unfortunately, its last couple of years read like a Vegas soap opera -- you know, in-family fighting, murder of one scion at the (alleged) hands of his stripper girlfriend, another taking out many of the elements that made Binion's famous, and the whole thing getting shuttered in early 2004 thanks to nonpayment of bills. To everyone's relief, after 3 months, the casino reopened thanks to its dual owners, one of which is Harrah's, which will manage it for at least a year. But Harrah's is eventually taking the Horseshoe name (and rumors are running wild over what that will mean, including speculation that they will build a new "Harrah's Horseshoe" on the spot currently occupied by the New Frontier) and the rights to Binion's famous World Series of Poker, which will probably be moved to the Strip in 2005 or 2006.Do you care about any of this? Maybe. Binion's has about 400 fewer slot machines than it used to, in an effort to improve flow, and some parts got painted, so it looks less dingy (but still like an Old West bordello) but remains otherwise essentially the same. That includes the relatively high claustrophobia level. It offers single-deck blackjack and $2 minimums, 10-times odds on craps, and high progressive jackpots. Real gamblers still won't consider going anywhere else.
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.
Black Mountain Golf & Country Club
Two new greens have recently been added to this 27-hole, par-72 semiprivate course, which requires reservations 4 days in advance. It's considered a great old course, with lots of wildlife, including roadrunners. However, unpredictable winds may affect your game.Yardage: 6,550 championship, 6,223 regular, and 5,518 ladies.Facilities: Pro shop, putting green, driving range, restaurant, snack bar, and cocktail lounge.
Riviera Hotel & Casino
Its best days long past, this former Strip star is looking awfully dumpy these days (and there are rumors, thanks to its part-ownership by development-happy Donald Trump, that it will soon be knocked down anyway). Between that and its promotion as an "alternative for grown-ups" and an "adult-oriented hotel," you should probably only stay here if you can get a deal and simply must be on the Strip. You certainly shouldn't bring the kids, who are actively discouraged as guests.Opened in 1955 (Liberace cut the ribbon and Joan Crawford was the official hostess of opening ceremonies), The Riviera was the first "high-rise" on the Strip, at nine stories. Today, it tries to evoke the Vegas of the good old days -- "come drink, gamble, and see a show" -- and while it is appropriately dark and glitzy, it's also very crowded and has a confusing layout. Don't miss your chance to take your photo with the bronze memorial to the Crazy Girls (their premier, largely nekkid, show), and their butts, outside on the Strip. There is a pool here, but it's very dull.Rooms are blah and not likely to improve. Half the rooms offer pool views. There is the predictable assortment of dining options -- though an excellent choice for families, ironically, is the Mardi Gras Food Court, which, unlike most of its genre, is extremely attractive. White-canvas umbrella tables and Toulouse-Lautrec-style murals create a comfortable, French cafe ambience. Food choices are wide-ranging, including burgers, pizza, gyros, falafel, and Chinese fare. The Riviera's enormous casino is one of the world's largest; see chapter 10 for reviews of its production shows, An Evening at La Cage (female impersonators), Crazy Girls (sexy Las Vegas-style revue), and Splash (aquatic revue).Facilities: Casino; wedding chapel; showrooms; 6 restaurants; outdoor pool; 2 night-lit tennis courts; health club 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.
Palms Resort & Casino
One of the hottest of the newer hotels, given quite the PR boost when it was Britney's base for her wedding debacle. In keeping with the tropical-foliage name, it's more or less Miami-themed (but without the pastels), with a strange aversion toward straight lines (really, check out all those curves). Inside a bland building is a pretty nice complex -- which we say only because it's a puzzle that the place is such a hot spot (though we predict that by the time you read this, the beautiful person clientele will have shifted in large part to THEhotel). That's mostly due to the nightlife options -- both Ghost Bar and the nightclub Rain have lines of people every night the facilities are open, offering to sell their firstborn sons for a chance to go inside. Why did those two places catch on so? Not really sure (though you can read our speculations about both in chapter 10), but you need to know that the entrances to them stand right by the elevators to your hotel room, which means on a busy weekend night, there can be upwards of 4,000 gorgeous and antsy (if not angry) people standing between you and access to your hotel room. If you are a Hilton sister, or wish to see if one will date you, this could be heaven, but if encountering the beautifully dressed and coifed, with 0% body fat and sullen expressions of entitlement, and the 19-year-olds who seek to become all of that (and usually affect a thuggish demeanor) makes you, like us, itch, this might not be the most comfortable place to stay.Having said all that, note that The Palms has perhaps some of the most comfortable beds in Vegas, thanks to fluffy pillows and duvets that make one reluctant to rise, plus big TVs and huge bathrooms. The main pool is oddly cheap looking -- it's really a posing spot rather than a splash, while a second pool has a bar and mermaids swimming in the water at night. Also on the property is Alizé, in competition for the title Best Restaurant in Town (and owner of the title Most Gorgeous and Romantic Restaurant), a cheap and hearty buffet, movies theaters, a McDonald's, and other reliable cheap chain eateries.
