Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A classic, very large Vegas resort that now has the updated room product to back up its restaurants, shows, pool decks, and clubs.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set at the Strip and Tropicana Avenue, elevated pedestrian bridges and an on-site monorail station offer direct links to neighboring casinos.
The rooms
Main tower rooms blend disco-inspired patterns and warm walnut finishes with illuminated closets and bright walk-in porcelain showers.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 1,000-foot lazy river winds past cascading waterfalls across the six-acre palm-lined pool grounds.
The spa and gym
The Grand Spa provides saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools alongside a comprehensive fitness center.
Dogs stay too.
