With all the new shopping centers, restaurants and entertainment offered by Las Vegas these days it's easy to forget about the casinos. But they are still the center of attraction for many. Vegas still has many of the old-time icons to offer like the Sahara. But many new ones have sprouted up in just the past decade. Even those as old as 40 years have seen major renovations in the past few years, to compete and to keep that youthful spirit ever fresh.
Come to Hollywood. The granddaddy of modern Vegas, the casino complex is built to resemble a huge movie set, sort of like James Bond on steroids. Even with the 16,000 seat auditorium and dozens of restaurants, there's still plenty of room for gaming. Whether you're an old-timer who still wants to play keno or you're a young stud or studette with an itch for high stakes poker, you won't walk away disappointed. Empty-pocketed, maybe.
For the real James Bond feel to your gaming fun, check out one of the newer kids in town. With re-creations of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, the place is easy to spot. But save your eagle eye to spot that ace that just went to your left. Also be sure to save some money after all the Baccarat to spend on a lady at Le Cabaret where the Euro bands entertain.
After Paris, only Egypt will look exotic. The Luxor is a 360ft/110m high glass pyramid that shines in the desert sun like a mirage. Get yourself worked up for some hot action with the dice as you face off with the fez. With an Olympic-sized pool to cool off in after a hot night's gambling, you'll find it has every kind of game imaginable. Apart from the thousands of slot machines, hundreds of poker tables, roulette wheels and the like, there's a virtual gaming room. Unreal.
From ancient Egypt, travel to the tropics and enjoy some of the jazz featured at Mandalay Bay. Between Broadway shows in the 12,000 seat theater, you can enjoy some fine roulette. Be sure to bet on black, since you want to avoid being in the red after a few hours at house odds. When you're done you can drown your sorrows or celebrate your winnings with a cool drink at the bar near the sandy beach.
Caesars remains the Las Vegas king. Around for decades, it still offers some of the hottest tables, the coolest dealers and the sexiest waitresses in town. Get ready to roll the dice amid the splendor of the Imperial Roman decor, then relax in the spa and gloat. Go to Cleopatra's later for some dancing or enjoy a show in the Omnimax Theater. Whether you like Texas Hold 'Em or European-style roulette, or just want to punch a dollar into a slot and watch the wheels spin, the casinos in Vegas have something for you. Be nice to the dealers, though. The hotels still hire large, serious looking gentlemen as managers to keep everyone polite.

The Luxor Hotel & Casino In Las Vegas Is Undergoing A Transformation – And Its Not About Ancient Egypt Any Longer
When the Luxor opened on October 15, 1993 the striking pyramid structure was the tallest building in Las Vegas. The pyramid could be seen for miles and made the other hotels on the Strip look small in comparison. This was a time when the development of casinos in Las Vegas relied on themes to differentiate themselves from one another. The Steve Wynn hotel, Treasure Island, was based on a pirate theme and second incarnation of MGM Grand (the original MGM Grand was what is now known as Bally's) was all about the movies, complete with a yellow brick road directing visitors through the center of the casino floor.
The Luxor, as the name suggests, relied on the ancient Egypt theme to tantalize it's guests. The replica of the Sphinx in front of the hotel, which also doubles as the porte-cochere, greets visitors upon arrival. At one time there was even a Nile River ride, similar to what you might find in Epcot Center at Disneyworld. The Luxor may not have been considered one of the seven wonders of the world, but at the time it was definitely considered the wonder of Las Vegas.
Times and taste change very fast in Las Vegas and today the Luxor is going through a transformation that promises to bring a more contemporary flavor and erase any sign that the hotel and casino are 18 years old. This transformation began in 2006, with the refurbishment of the West Tower rooms, and will continue through 2008. All 4,047 rooms will be refurbished by the time the renovation is complete.
Gone is the RA Nightclub. RA was one of the first mega-nightclubs in Las Vegas. The Luxor is now home to the LAX Nightclub, a branch of the Los Angeles hot spot. LAX is a modern state-of-the-art nightclub covering two-stories and 26,000 square feet. Since the club was opened in August 2007 it has developed a reputation for being a celebrity hangout. There is also Noir Bar, a private reservation required bar located within the nightclub. An adjoining bistro will be opening soon so you can eat, drink and play in a singular destination.
Although the Nile River ride is no longer, the Luxor still has many entertainment offerings. The comedian Carrot Top offers his unique and somewhat twisted form of entertainment 6-nights a week. The adults-only revue, Fantasy, offers singing, dancing and of course, topless girls. Something the whole family can enjoy is the ventriloquist Ronn Lucas and his puppets who perform afternoon shows 6-days a week. In 2008 the Luxor will be home to yet another Cirque du Soleil production on the Las Vegas Strip. This production will be a collaboration with magician Criss Angel and will be housed in the theater formerly occupied by the Blue Man Group.
The Luxor's parent company, MGM MIRAGE is spending $300 million dollars in an effort to bring the hotel in line with the newer resorts and casinos on the Strip, which was very much needed. As the transformation continues there will surely be new restaurants added, new bars and nightclubs and new entertainment options. And as the ancient Egypt theme slowly disappears during this renovation, it is beginning to look like the only reference to the old Luxor that will remain is it's signature 30-story pyramid tower.

What Are The Best Hotels, Resorts & Casinos In Las Vegas – Wynn Las Vegas Is Definitely At The Top Of All Of Those Lists
Steve Wynn knows how to open a hotel, a resort and a casino. He has been responsible for creating some of the most well know and respected hotels in Las Vegas. The Mirage was the first hotel he built from the ground up. The success of The Mirage was followed by Treasure Island and then the award winning Bellagio debuted in 1998. But there is always room for improvement so Steve Wynn continued his winning streak and created the incredible Wynn Las Vegas.
Wynn Las Vegas is unique is almost every way. From the architectural design of the room tower to the layout of the casino, you will find a surprise around every corner. You can literally just stroll through the resort and be delighted by the sights and sounds. Every detail has been well thought out and designed for the up-most in luxury and comfort.
Upon your arrival at Wynn Las Vegas from the Las Vegas Strip you will notice something distinctly different from Steve Wynn's previous creations. There is no feature in front of the hotel, such as the pirate battle at Treasure Island, the fountains at Bellagio or the erupting volcano at The Mirage. No, you only see a beautifully groomed mountain covered in trees and flanked by a modest yet towering waterfall. Jetting up from behind the mountain is the modern, copper colored room tower. It is quite a unique sight, especially in Las Vegas.
The resort rooms at Wynn Las Vegas are second to none. Each comes furnished with a LCD high-definition television in the main room and the bathroom. You don't have to sit on the bed to relax because each resort room is outfitted with a couch and ottoman within a sitting area. The beds are covered with Egyptian Cotton linens. And best of all the rooms have floor to ceiling windows making for spectacular views of the Las Vegas valley. The rooms are so luxurious you may find it hard to venture down to the casino.
Wynn Las Vegas has a fine dining experience awaiting each and every taste. Each of the 10 fine dining restaurants is overseen by a world renowned chef. If you have a liking for fresh seafood, Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare is for you. Chef Paul Bartolotta creates his Italian creations with seafood flown in daily from fish markets across Europe. If you prefer a delicious steak then SW Steakhouse should definitely be on your to-do list. This is an award winning steakhouse is situated along the Lake of Dreams and named after Steve Wynn himself. Those are just a small sampling of the fine dining experiences that await you at Wynn Las Vegas.
Entertainment is not in short supply at Wynn Las Vegas. The two theaters house two completely unique productions. Le Reve is presented in an intimate aqua theater in-the-round featuring amazing acrobatics and incredible special effects. The Grail Theater is the home to Spamalot, the Tony Award winning musical. A hilarious and crazy 90-minute production, Spamalot was created by those whacky guys from Monty Python.
After you have visited the casino you can take your winnings and go on a shopping excursion. No this isn't your typical Las Vegas souvenir shop. This is real world-class shopping. Housed in the Wynn Las Vegas Promenade are a host of international designer boutiques; Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jo Malone and Manolo Blahnik just to name a few.
There is so much more, but those are just a small selection of all the amenities Wynn Las Vegas offers it's guests. Unparalleled luxury, beautiful surroundings, exceptional dining, world-class shopping and the best service in Las Vegas that is what Wynn Las Vegas strives to achieve. And they succeed on every level. Once you arrive and have forgotten about the world outside there really is no reason to leave, until it is that dreaded time to check-out. But I'd venture to say you won't want to leave then either.
