Mega-resort Report: Bellagio |
| Bellagio hotel and casino sets itself apart from the other mega-resorts in town by bringing a special touch of European traditional elegance to the Las Vegas Strip.

Cirque du Soleil "O" offers a surreal theatrical adventure, while the hotel's free Fountain Show turns the Bellagio's lake into a work of fine art. Whatever suits your mood, Bellagio is sure to have it on-site. |
Mega-resort Report: Caesars Palace |
| For a true taste of Las Vegas, you have to stay at Caesars Palace. It's been around since 1965 and has hosted such legendary performers as Celine Dion and Elton John. Caesars wouldn't be a mega-resort without a massive gaming room. How about over 120,000 square feet to play your favorites? Top-of-the-line shopping is available at this historic resort, where you can pick up items from Dior, Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Cartier. (Not bad options for vacation keepsakes!)
If you truly want to splurge, book a room in the Palace Tower. Many of these accommodations have two bathrooms -- and each has a hot tub and a shower. There's so much more Caesars has to offer! |
Mega-resort Report: Circus Circus |
| This holiday why not take the kids to Las Vegas? It may seem like an odd place for family travel, but not if you choose the right mega-resort. Circus Circus is one of the most family-friendly hotels on the Strip. (It sometimes also offers rates a bit lower than the other family hotels like Excalibur and Treasure Island.) What makes Circus Circus such a hit with kids is the permanent circus that's on-site. The Midway, as the circus is called, offers two shows an hour -- both free of charge. There's also the 350,000-square foot Adventurdome Theme Park that features life-sized animatronic dinosaurs in a desert canyon setting. Let your kids thrill on rides that flip and spin, do a little smash 'em up with bumper cars, or ride the Miner Mike roller coaster. For a little less excitement, the whole family can lounge at any of the three pools at Circus Circus. There's even a children's pool as well.
Bonus Tip: What if you don't have a family just yet? Bring your significant other to the on-site wedding chapel and get started building one! |
