Author : Claire Bowes
Las Vegas is undoubtedly the casino capital of the United
States, if not the whole world. In every square inch of Las
Vegas, you will find a casino. They are so many casinos in fact
that visitors in Las Vegas do not even get to visit all of them.
Bellagio, is one of the first-class hotel casinos that you
should not miss when going to Las Vegas. Operated by the MGM
Mirage, Bellagio features 3982 rooms and suites. In addition to
its casinos, this gigantic megaresort also features a theater,
the O Theater, some lounges and bars such as the Fontana Bar,
Allegro Bars and the Nectar Bar.
It also boastsgreat dining venues such as the Picasso, Prime
Steakhouse, Le Cirque, Sensi, Osteria del Circo and MICHAEL MINA
and six outdoor pools and a spa. One of the main attractions of
the Bellagio is its Fountains, an eight acre lake that provides
stunning views at night. There is also the Conservatory and the
Botanical Gardens as well as the Dale Chihuly glass sculpture.
Buffalo Bill's, which is located in the Primm Valley, is 30
minutes away from the Interstate. This hotel-casino has 1,242
rooms including the suites that are used for wedding packages.
Some rooms even have wet bars and Jacuzzi tubs. Among the dining
sites that Bufallo Bill's offers are the Baja Bar & Grill, Wagon
Master Coffee Shop, La Salsa Mexican Grille, Miss Ashley's
Buffet, and Frisella's Roastery.
The hotel casino also has a huge entertainment venue called the
Star of the Desert Arena, which has 6000 seats. This is where
concerts and other shows are held. In addition to this, Bufallo
Bill's also has a movie theater and comedy bar, where tourists
can relax and wile the night away. One of the main attractions
that this hotel-casino provides is the Desperado rollercoaster
as well as the Turbo Drop Thrill ride.
Circus Circus sits in South Las Vegas. This is the first themed
resort in the city, which is operated by the Mandalay Resort
Group. It has 3770 rooms, some of which have video check-out
counters. Dining venues in the hotel include the The Steak
House, Stivali Italian Ristorante, Blue Iguana Las Vegas, and
The Pink Pony. Part of the attraction in Circus Circus is the
AdventureDome indoor theme park and the circus shows in the Big
Top.
Another big thing in Las Vegas is the Excalibur hotel which is
also nestled in the South. Another project of the Mandalay
Resort Group, Excalibur has 4008 rooms all in all. Because of
its King Arthur time theme, restaurants in Excalibur are named
after places and people in King Arthur's court such as the The
Steakhouse at Camelot, The Camelot, Sir Galahad's Prime Rib
House, and the Round Table Buffet. There are also frequent
dinner shows and comedy acts in their comedy bars. In keeping
with their theme, the casinos are transformed into a Renaissance
Faire complete with jugglers, magicians and troubadours.
The Luxor is actually named after a place in Egypt, which is an
tourist destination. Its building is topped with the brightest
beams of light in the whole of Las Vegas. In fact, it can
actually be seen when you are riding the space shuttle. It has
4408 rooms, which are divided into the Pyramid and in towers.
Like the Excalibur, the names of the restaurants in the Luxor
also have Egyptian flavors to them. Among the restaurants that
you should try when visiting there are the Sacred Sea Room,
Papyrus, Nile Deli, Hamada's, and of course the Isis.
