Thanks to a sagging economy, there's not much on the docket in terms of new construction in Las Vegas for 2011 and beyond. Only one hotel—the Cosmopolitan—was slated to open in early 2011. Other projects, including the Fontainebleau ...
Since the desires of many visitors run far beyond the standard sinful troika of sex, alcohol, and gambling, the powers that be have been kind enough to provide settings for the more exotically inclined. Bowling, anyone?:
Yes, Vegas brims with cash, glitz, and glamour, but that doesn't mean you can't find freebies (or cheapies).
Even back during its heyday as the city's casino-gaming hot spot, downtown was never much of a haven for gourmets. As the Strip and other parts of the city have become renowned for fantastic dining, downtown's culinary reputation has steadily ...

It seemed like a welcome idea at the time. Visitors had long wondered when Las Vegas would get those kiosks for discount show tickets that people are used to looking for in New York's Broadway theater district. When the first such outlet finally arrived on the Strip, producers were assured that they would remain in control of their own ticket inventory. Sell all the full-priced seats you can, the argument went, but why not fill any remaining seats at half price once it appeared full-price sales had peaked for the day?
Vegas megaresorts may be putting severe restrictions on children, but there are still a number of ways to keep kids occupied here.
Trends are fickle in Vegas. Take lounges: once the hub of the hip, they plummeted to the dregs of popular culture, then resurged with a vengeance, even spawning upscale spin-offs. Now the word lounge encompasses both the old cliché—an...
Whether you're rollin' high or down on your luck, Vegas has a show for you. Check out the following steals and splurges: Save Mac King. The comedy magic of Mac King is worth every penny of the full $27.45 ticket price, and full-price tickets send you to the front of the line. But if you look for coupon-dispensing showgirls within the casino or check a promotions booth at the Carnaval Court lounge, you can often get in for the price of a $9.95 drink; especially when schools are in session.
Bombastic, curious, and gaudy, the Las Vegas Strip has one of the most dramatic and recognizable skylines in the world. One memorable way to take in the incredible views is to dine at one of the city's sky-scraping restaurants. Keep in mind that...
Spectacular Spectaculars Will it be an acrobatic Cirque du Soleil extravaganza? A standing act by a musical legend? An afternoon comedy show, or Broadway-lite (90-minute cut-downs of the original productions from the Great White Way)? A classic feather revue, or a spooky hypnotist show? Maybe you're just in the mood for a plain old lounge show where the microphones squeal, the singer is slightly out of tune, and a great time is all but guaranteed. It's practically against the law to be bored in Vegas.
Vegas is a 24-hour town, and when the party starts to wind down in some places, the doors to others are just opening. The following are our picks for after-hours hot spots. Remember, even after 4 am, expect lines—sometimes very long ones—to get in. And bring your sunglasses to protect those bleary eyes from the morning rays when you finally stumble out. The sin-sational Drai's has long been the after-hours king. In three elegant rooms, deejays spin house and hip-hop until well after the sun rises.
The 1996 movie Swingers is about the last time anyone even acknowledged this town's past glories as a kitsch capital that self-aware hipsters could mine for irony. The Ocean's Eleven remake and its sequels and the TV show Las Vegas both fed the ...
Las Vegas may be a town of debauchery and decadence, but that doesn't mean you can't get in some exercise. The Strip actually offers a number of challenging walks. Many of these are indoors, a perfect way to avoid the desert sun. South Strip Mummies to Big Apple: Inside Luxor's pyramid follow the enclosed walkways to Excalibur. From there, it's an easy walk across a pedestrian bridge to New York-New York's new gaming floor. Total time: 15 minutes.
Vegas wedding chapels: They're cute and white. They're flowers and neon and love ever after (or at least until tomorrow's hangover). They're also mighty quick, once you get that marriage license.
