Everyone has heard about Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It has to be one of the best known hotels and casinos to be found anywhere. The hotel had its 40th anniversary last year as it was built in the swinging 60s – 1966 to be exact. The following year it was in the news big time when Evel Knievel, the motorcycle stunt man, tried to take his sleek machine, and himself, over the fountains. Unfortunately he failed, but the stunt was all good publicity for the fledgling Las Vegas hotel and casino.

Caesars Palace in Las Vegas has been a venue that many famous people have visited. It’s been the place to be seen at for the rich and comfortable for four decades, and it appears that it will be so for a good long time to come. The complex is modeled after the opulent palaces of ancient Rome where Caesars of old lived in a style most of us can only dream of. But this modern day palace is not all about munching grapes and sipping goblets of wine, here you can enjoy some of the world’s best shows.

For your comfort at Caesars Palace you can bask in any one of the four pools they have, enjoy the spa and exercise area where you can be pampered until you purr with delight, or take in any one of the many shows there, from the Fall of Atlantis Fountain Shows to Celine Dion in Las Vegas. Caesars Palace is indeed a palace of delights. Visit it and stay a while. You’ll be delighted you did!

Have you ever been to Paris, France? If you have, then you will have seen the Eiffel Tower and perhaps even been up to the top. If you haven’t been to Paris, France, then you can comes close by visiting Las Vegas and heading for Paris Las Vegas, a very special hotel and casino located in one of America’s glitziest and most exciting cities.

Paris Las Vegas is squeezed between Bally’s and Alladin – Planet Hollywood on the Strip. It isn’t really squeezed, of course, as it has plenty of wide open spaces where you can see surprisingly realistic scaled down replicas of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomph. This is an establishment that feels so out of Las Vegas when you enter it. You could in fact be in France!

If you want to feel as if you are in an old town part of Paris as you gamble, then the Paris Las Vegas casino can give you that atmosphere. According to the www.destination360.com web site, the Paris Casino in Las Vegas:

“…is an elegant and comfortable place to gamble, complete with fountains, massive arches with lights, and a plush interior designed to make certain you are as comfortable as possible. This is the perfect place to spend some time if you are waiting for check-in or if you want to spend an evening on the town.”

The hotel is luxurious as well. The rooms have full-length mirrors and all the amenities that you would expect from a hotel of this quality. So, when you want some time to count your winnings from the casino, just relax in the plush room, or go shopping in the atmosphere of a true French market, all courtesy of one of the finest Las Vegas casinos, the Paris Las Vegas.

Where do you find the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States of America? In Las Vegas, of course. The Stratosphere Tower observation deck stands a proud 1,149 feet high. The tower, one of the miost popular las Vegas attractions, is located at the Stratosphere hotel-casino, which lies to the north of the intersection made by the Las Vegas Strip and Sahara Avenue.

Although the Stratosphere Tower observation deck stand at 1,149 feet high, the outside observation deck is situated by necessity quite a little bit lower at 869 feet. It’s a great place of seeing Las Vegas and the surrounding area. It’s a great place for sunbathers as well, and anyone in fact who likes to be high up above the ground.

The floor of the outside observation deck effectively makes the roof of the indoor observation deck, which stands at 857 feet high. The indoor feck rests on three legs. This means that the window glass is angled outwards. This can be offputting for many who fear heights.

You can reach the Stratosphere Tower observation deck by elevators that whish you upwards at an impressive 1,800 feet a minute. This means that it takes a neat 30 seconds from ground level to the deck. X Scream and Insanity are both gained rfom the outdoor deck, and if you don’t know what they are, you’d better give the Stratosphere Tower observation deck, one of the finest Las Vegas attractions, a visit.

Las Vegas – the wedding capitol of the world! People from all over the globe flock to Sin City to get legitimized in matrimony. Many of them are hitched by an Elvis impersonator at a drive-in chapel. How much more exotic do you want it to be!

One of the reasons why Las Vegas is so popular for weddings is that there’s no waiting and no requirement for a blood test. That speeds things up a lot. It’s not the only place in the USA with those flexible laws, but it is the most popular by far!

It usually surprises people to learn that marriage licences are not issued by the city of Las Vegas. They are issued by the Clark County Clerk’s office, which might take a moment or two to get your tongue around, apart from anything else. So, if you plan on getting married in Las Vegas, you’d better keep that little snippet of information in mind.

Of course, it’s not just the actual wedding ceremony that Las Vegas caters for. If you need a reception, a honeymoon, a batchelor party or batchelorette party – or any of a dozen related thing – then Las Vegas can do it for you, and do it very, very well too!

It doesn’t get much more of a white-knuckle experience than this. You’ll return with an adrenalin rush that will leave you breathless. But the memory will linger forever, and every time you think of the Grand canyon, you’ll recall seeing rocks flying past through a haze of white water. This is the Grand Canyon Colorado River White Water Rafting, one of the best Las Vegas tours there is.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Las Vegas and taken to an air-conditioned motor coach to start on a two and a half hour journey from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. En route you will be driven over the spectacular Hoover Dam and along the historic Route 66, made famous in song.

When you finally arrive at the bottom of the Grand Canyon after a bumpy 17 mile ride down from the canyon rim, you will put on your life jacket and listen to the safety instructions. Then you board the inflatable motor-power raft and you set off.

Mere seconds after leaving you will get wet as you hit the first set of rapids. But it doesn’t stop there. You will have some five and a half hours of rafting through 40 miles of white water. But you will get to see some of the most spectacular scenery ever seen by man or woman.

At the end of the journey you will be picked up by a jet helicopter and lifted up the 4,000 feet to the top of the rim. You will then be driven back to Las Vegas, through the Joshua Tree Forest and the Hoover Dam. It’s one heck of a journey, so be sure you don’t miss it!

The Second City comedy troupe at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino are currently doing a show that is based around suggestions from the audience. This type of improvised skits are increasingly popular with comedy loving audiences everywhere, and the Las Vegas shows are no different.

There is no real script for the show. It’s a kind of free for all, if you like with no real expectation of what will happen. It’s spontaneous and outrageous, the unexpected can and does happen, and the overall result is quite simply hilariously funny. There’s a lot of satire flowing around during the shows. The scenarios are comic, social and political, depending on the situation and the requirement of the moment. The audience feel a real part of the show, as their participation is essential to its success.

The show currently being presented is a new format for the Flamingo production. All the material is improvised, not just bits of it. The cast are well able to keep up. In fact, they are well ahead of it all. The comic fivesome are made up of, Martin Garcia, Bridget Kloss, Seamus McCarthy, Amanda Blake Davis, and Craig Uhlir.

Expect some very quick-witted performances at the Second City show. Expect also to be well entertained and fully satisfied. Expect perhaps to have aches and pains from laughing too much, though that shouldn’t really be a problem as that is exactly what you are presumably seeking form this show. According to www.igoshows.com: “The show is a lot of fun. It is alive and fresh, and a show that would definitely be fun to go to more than once.” I wholeheartedly agree!

The Alizé At The Top Of The Palms is, as the www.Andrelv.com web sites says:

“…located on the top floor of the Palms Casino Resort. Named after the gentle trade winds that sweep the French Caribbean Islands, Alizé features world-class cuisine, service and wine list with the most dramatic view of the famous Las Vegas Strip.”

André Rochat is the chef and proprietor of this popular, respected and award winning Las Vegas restaurant on the famous Strip. Condé Nast Traveler Magazine named this now famous restuarant as being one of the top quality new restuarants anywhere in the entire world.

The view from the Alizé At The Top Of The Palms is almost worth it alone. Overlooking the Strip from its high vantage point, it’s a pleasure to relax and watch the Las Vegas world go by far below. André opened his famous restuarant on November the 15th of 2001. The world-class food, the excellent service, and the sublime wine list quickly made it a winner all round.

The Alizé At The Top Of The Palms does not have a strict dress code. However, they do expect their diners to be considerate of others. They ask request that gentlemen wear, “resort-evening casual” dress, saying that jackets and ties are not essential, but on the other hand, jeans and a T-shirt is not quite respectful enough. Ladies are expected to wear, “considerate apparel.” They ask that everyone looks respectful, and above all, enjoys themselves at one of the finest of all Las Vegas restuarants.

This isn’t one of the best known hotels in Las Vegas. However, it does have some 700 rooms, which makes it not inconsiderable in size. The rooms are located within the 19 storeys of the hotel, which is within the Fremont Street Experience right in the heart of Las Vegas. And in case ypou’re not sure what the Fremont Street Experience is, according to Wikipedia it is:

“…a pedestrian mall and attraction in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. The FSE (Fremont Street Experience) occupies the westernmost 5 blocks of Fremont Street and portions of some other adjacent streets.

The attraction is a barrel vault canopy, 90 feet high at the peak, that covers four blocks or approximately 1,500 feet.”

The rooms at the Four Queens Hotel are very comfortable. If you want a little more excitement with your room, you can get jacuzzi-suites to let you really relax after a hard day spent at the tables. However, the Four Queens Hotel is not a place where in-house entertain,emt is strong. You will find some stand-up comedy acts and other similar things, but no big shows. The hotel’s biggest value is probably in it being a downtown location that doesn’t cost the earth to stay in.

The hotel does have a Chicago Brewing Company location with an excellent cigar lounge. If you want something more romantic with good food, then Hugo’s Cellar is for you. Here you can get continental cuisine of a very high standard and probably the best martinis in town. At least, they make that claim, and they’re probably right too. They were the recipients of the “Award of Excellence”, presented by Wine Spectator, so they are well worth visiting.
