Looking for tips on good places to stay on your Vegas vacation?
There are a lot of great hotels in Las Vegas, but these six
definitely stand out.
Wynn Hotel
The newest masterpiece by Vegas hotel legend Steve Wynn, the
50-story Wynn Hotel opened in 2004 with 2,716 rooms, an 18-hole
golf course, 19 restaurants, and 54 private spa treatment rooms.
His namesake hotel displays his amazing art collection, offers
incredible shopping right on site, and has a posh private lobby
for VIPs. And of course, there's an awesome state-of-the-art
casino at it's heart.
Bellagio
Built by Steve Wynn in 1998, the lavish Bellagio has excellent
rooms, awesome service, and an amazing water fountain show. In
December 2004, just before the Wynn Hotel opened, the Bellagio
added a special 928-room Spa Tower, boosting total capacity to
3,933 rooms. The Bellagio is so ritzy that they offer a
50-minute body bronzing treatment with real gold dust.
THEhotel at Mandalay Bay
This all-suite exclusive hotel within the larger Mandalay Bay
hotel has 1,117 rooms that aim for a more cosmopolitan clientele
than it's namesake parent. Each suite is 725 square feet of
luxury with three flat-screen televisions, including one in the
mega-swank bathrooms.
Four Seasons
Another swank luxury hotel within the larger Mandalay Bay
property, the Four Seasons occupies floors 35-39 and has rates
much higher than the standard $119-$349 of its parent. Four
Seasons guests have their own elevator and entrance, plus pools,
spa, and restaurants in an adjacent building.
Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas
The Ritz Carlton hotel is a half-hour's drive from the Strip,
but it's renowned for it's golfing and outdoor activities. It
nestles against manmade Lake Las Vegas where the water offers a
refreshing alternative to the summertime heat. This
three-year-old Tuscan-themed resort still maintains a touch of
the glitz: Guests can stay on a special bridge with suites built
to recreate Florence's legendary Ponte Vecchio (Bridge of
Gold).
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino
Located near the Wynn, this 4,027-suite hotel is part of the
Sands Hotel group. Rooms are luxuriously appointed and the
casino is magnificent. Coming this summer is a new theater
hosting Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit musical, the "Phantom
of the Opera."
