Las Vegas Strip Hotels

Almost all of the Las Vegas hotels located on the Strip have a theme.  It's just a matter of choosing which one suits your fancy.  Caesar's Palace features the luxuriously costumed players of ancient Rome in the "Fall of Atlantis" fountain show.  At the Venetian you can take a gondola ride escorted by a rowing gondolier in traditional costume who will serenade you as you travel through the man made canals.   Excalibur has a pirate theme and a court jester's show.  At Paris you'll be dazzled by a 450 foot replica (half the size of the original) Eiffel tower; you can take the elevator to the top for an outdoor vantage point of the entire Strip.  At Circus Circus you can play games at the midway or watch a high flyer circus act.  The Luxor has an Egyptian theme; the building is shaped like a pyramid and mummies are a prevalent part of the décor.  New York New York is a miniature replica of Manhattan streets, complete with a variety of distinctly New York bistros, coffeehouses, Italian eateries and steak houses.

The Wynn is the newest hotel on the Strip.  The price tag for this beauty was $2.7 billion; it features polished marble floors, detailed woodwork, lush gardens, waterfalls and ponds.  It's seriously upscale; the Wynn has its own Ferrari-Maserati dealership.  This is a place for presidents, dignitaries and royalty!  At the Wynn, opulence abounds at one of the most posh nightclubs in Vegas, the "Tryst."

Circus Circus, the Sahara, New York New York and the Stratosphere all have roller coasters.  While all these coasters are thrilling, the one at the Stratosphere has the reputation for being chilling!  This coaster sits atop the 920 foot building; it twists and turns until it has catapulted you out 150 feet into the air.  You are literally dangling off the top of the hotel

Mandalay Bay has a beach; that's correct, a beach complete with sand and waves in the desert.  It also has three other pools and a lazy winding river.  All of the strip hotels have pools; one more elaborate than the next.  No need to bring your beach towels; Las Vegas hotel pools provide you with several plush towels when you enter their pool areas.  All you need is your room key.  Cabanas are also available for a hefty fee.   At the Palms, their pool is covered by a dance floor at night.  All the hotel pools close by 6:00PM.

The locals tell me that an old Vegas trick is to book the cheapest room possible and then ask if you're eligible for an upgrade when you approach the desk with ID, credit card and a $20 bill in hand.  Tipping $20 should get you a better room if the hotel is not booked to capacity already.

Rebecca, Wow. My wife and I have stayed at many of these hotels. If I liked to gamble I might go more often. LOL
