South Point Hotel Casino
The growing trend seems to be staying in hotels outside of the Las Vegas strip and more and more people are finding value in places like South Point. Reviews for this hotel have been mostly positive and it’s not that far away from the strip and downtown. The hotel opened in July 2008 and you can’t miss seeing the shiny golden building as you drive into Las Vegas from California. The rooms look up to date with flat screen televisions.
Wynn Hotel Casino
The Wynn’s standard room looks great and plenty of living space. The video towards the end shows a very nice closeup of the waterfall on the golf course.
Bill’s Gambling Hall & Saloon
Yes folks, believe it or not this place is in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. A few of you might remember it back in the old days as the Barbary Coast. I never stayed in this hotel and I was surprised at how nice the rooms looked. The hotel name is not as classy as its neighboring hotels but the room decor looks up-to-date and considering you’re right at the heart of the the Las Vegas strip, it may be worth the stay.
Rio Hotel Casino
This video brings back many fond memories. The last time I stayed in one these suites was in November 1990 and a bit disappointing to see the rooms have not changed at all. In the living room, the 19″ television on the pedestal looks more odd than impressive. But back in 1990, you felt like a high roller if you stayed in one of these suites. A humorous note is the port-hole feature in the bathroom. Really cool if you’re with your wife or girlfriend but not at all cool if you have friends staying with you. I can’t remember how many times I had to avoid the flash from the cameras while I was trying to take a shower.
