Las Vegas Casinos With Magnificent Hotels
By Julia Barnes
The glitz, the excess and the gambling of Las Vegas
makes the city an unlikely stop for a family vacation.
However, families that do take the plunge into this
desert oasis are pleasantly surprised that there are
so many things for minors to do here, from Cirque du
Soleil performances and free shows, to just perusing
the Vegas hotels and casinos.
While people under 21 won’t be able to touch
a slot machine, they can go shopping, play in arcades,
check out the tigers at the Mirage or the sharks at
Mandalay Bay, ride a gondola at The Venetian, watch
Lance Burton the magician at the Monte Carlo, ride the
thrilling roof top Stratosphere attraction, or visit
and review your options with the nearby Hoover Dam and
Red Rock Canyon for natural wonders. With the exception
of The Bellagio, all other hotel-casinos are open to
tours for people of all ages.
The Palatial Bellagio
You’ll notice the palatial Bellagio on Las Vegas Boulevard
by its magnificent music-themed fountain "water-ballet"
amid the Romanesque 8-acre lake that sits before the
behemoth Italian structure.
Here you’ll find thirteen restaurants serving California,
Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as Cirque
du Soleil performances, the Petrossian Bar and The Bank
nightclub.
A Health Club With Natural Lighting
You’ll marvel at The Conservatory, which is arguably
one of the most awe-inspiring views on the Las Vegas
Strip, with its greenhouse natural lighting, brilliant
towering plants, giant butterfly sculptures, vivid flower
arrangements, hundred-year-old fountain and blown-glass
ceiling sculpture; you’ll feel like you’re in "Honey
I Shrunk The Kids." The rooms are cosmopolitan
and bathed in sage and dark wood with plush furnishings.
The health club is newly redone as well, with natural
lighting, personal attendants holding iced towels and
drinks and excellent plunge pools at the spa. Swimmers
list The Bellagio as one of their favorite on the strip
with its neoclassical Roman garden and Grand Patio featuring
godly pillars and domes.
Shopping amenities boast pure swankiness: Tiffany,
Armani, Gucci and Prada, to name a few. The casino itself
features high-limit slots, semi-secluded roulette, blackjack,
craps and baccarat, and a great 7 card stud area, as
well as being the host to the Texas hold’ em, World
Poker Tour.
Indoor Canals And Gondoliers At The Venetian
The Venetian is the most intricately detailed theme
casino in Las Vegas. The 4,027 rooms are spacious and
some of the most handsome in town, with sunken living
rooms, marble baths, LCD plasma screen televisions,
wireless internet, remote-controlled Roman shades, glass
showers, deep soaking tubs, crown moldings, thick half-canopies
draped over the beds, natural-colored stately furniture,
traditional Venetian art and backlit onyx walls.
Indoor canals with gondoliers add a romantic touch
in this Italian-themed Vegas hotel that rivals Disney
theme-park decor. Many guests enjoy the ability to navigate
around the resort without being forced through the casino
area, as is the case with many of The Venetian’s
neighbors.
Relax In The Spa And Get Fit In The Gym
The shopping is particularly impressive here with alligator
shoes, $2,000 watches and a recreation of St. Mark’s
Square with glass blowers, minstrels and actors. You
can also find a branch of the Guggenheim Museum
here!
While the pools are nothing to write home about, the
spa (with nutritionists, physical therapists, massage
chairs and acupuncturists) and the gym (with aerobics,
yoga, dance, pilates and rock climbing) make up for
it.
Onyx Pyramid Shaped And Decked Out Like An Egyptian
Palace
There are other neat hotels around Las Vegas of course.
The Luxor is the onyx pyramid-shaped hotel, and it is
one of the most famed icons of the Las Vegas Strip,
decked out like an opulent Egyptian palace.
New York New York has all the ritzy class of the Big
Apple, with trees and Christmas lights included. The
Stratosphere has death-defying rides that dangle you
over the roof top and Circus Circus offers a thrilling
roller coaster and indoor carnival, complete with a
merry go round.
MGM Grand has more than 3,500 slots and 165 game tables,
which is the largest Las Vegas casino. Best of all,
the strip is always expanding and no two trips are ever
exactly the same!
