What to expect: Set back from the street behind formal gardens and accessible by a moving sidewalk through a cylindrical structure flanked by water flowing into ponds, the 2,814-room hotel presents a sleek art-deco appearance with glass towers accented by blue-and-white masonry. This hotel offers a traditional Las Vegas experience of stage shows, lounge entertainment, steakhouse, and low-cost buffet.
Amenity highlights: A 30-person spa tub in a tropical garden adjacent to the large pool provides social soaking. Cabanas furnished with television and telephone supply shade on the sundeck between sunning sessions. The pool complex also includes an open-air bar and a café with air-conditioned and terrace seating.
Insider tip: The Paris-themed Paris Las Vegas is connected to this hotel via an interior passage so short the two are virtually a single resort, with lots of restaurants, shops, and French-accented attractions.
