Paris
The buffet is a great deal and gives tastes of several different regions of France, all at one sitting. Francophiles will love having a view of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe from guest rooms. One of the most spectacular views of the Strip can be had daily from the built-to-scale Tower.
Bellagio
This hotel has a special place in my heart, ever since I spent my honeymoon there a couple of years ago. Fashioned after a lakeside village in Italy, The Bellagio offers world-class shopping, nearly a dozen restaurants including a caviar bar on the casino floor, and Cirque du Soleil's "O". Ask for a lake view room for an enchanting look at the dancing fountains gracing the 8-acre lake.
Caeser's Palace
The first mega-resort on the Strip is still one of the most elegant. The Forum Shops are a must-see on your trip, even if you don't stay at the hotel, for designer shops and animated statue shows.
Luxor
This hotel is desgined to resemble an Egyptian pyramid, where "inclinators" take guests diagonally up to their rooms. Dance nightly at the "Ra" nightclub or take the kids to an IMAX movie. The hotel is also home to the celebrated Blue Man Group.
Mirage
You can't miss this hotel from the Strip -- outside is a volcano which erupts in flaming lava every half hour. Inside is a tropical landscape with plenty to see, including dolphins, white tigers and illusionists Siegfried and Roy.
