7 Great Things to Do in Las Vegas

Great things Vegas to do in Las 1 Lose your shirt in style コ 17 82 20 Caesars Palace remains an icon of classic Sin City decadence - few casinos can match it for atmo- sphere - but before you hit the baccarat pit mug up on the subject. The Gamblers General Store in Downtown has a library of 'how to' gaming books, as well as gifts. Apart from Caesars, some of the best poker games can be found at the legendary Golden Nugget in Downtown, whose residents can actually shed their shirts in a pool area where waterslides run though a central shark tank. Casino Royale provides the cheapest fun you can have round the roulette wheel. Killers fans who like a spot of the Old West with their 20x-odds craps should make for Sam's Town. 2 Get into the Spiritwith the Tequila Goddess and wine angels The most impressive difference between watering holes in the rest of the world and those on the Strip is the sheer number of bottles. Single malt enthusi- asts can boggle at the vast scotch collection at Craftsteak. Cognacs to knock your socks off reside at chef André Rochat's three restaurants André's and Alizé. A full-time Tequila Goddess is employed to educate the customers at Treasure Island's Isla. Wine drinkers should set their sights on Aureole, where the bottles are stored in a four- storey wine tower that requires harnessed 'wine angels' to retrieve them. 3 GO ojj StriP for extreme kitsch The Atomic Testing Museum, a one-of-a-kind, often terrifying, insight into the Nevada Test Site, once the country's principal weapons testing facility, makes room for some bizarrely cheesy exhibits. The gong for campest collection of all time, however, has to go to the Liberace Museum, with its sparkling cache of treasures left by the Glitter Man himself. 4 Scale Mount Wynn Maverick mogul Steve Wynn designed his Wynn Las Vegas resort from the inside out, which means you have to remain cocooned inside his casino to appreciate its signature attraction. From outside, the visitor can see a small hill covered with huge trees, but to get the full effect, you have to go in, then take the spiral staircase down to the terraces at the SW Steakhouse or Daniel Boulud. The faux mountain fuses light, water, horticulture and architecture into a diverting multimedia experi- ence. See the Sughts of the Strip for $5 How the Deuce do you do that? By riding one of the city's fleet of pimped-out double-decker buses that troll the Strip and all the way Downtown. Known as the Deuce, these buses come cheap at $2 a ride or $5 to hop on and off all day. 6 Comfort eni when the shirt is lost What better way to cheer the soul than soul food- chicken, short ribs, yams - at M&M's Soul Food, or burgers as big as your head at Hash House a-Go Go. For steaks, try the best barbecue in Vegas at Big Mama's Rib Shack. For a generous slice of Old Vegas, try the Bay City Diner, housed in a historic casino (Golden Gate), where no-nonsense waitresses like you see in the movies serve basic food for 20 hours a day. Deal a Soggy hand The Hard Rock's pool gives you the very best fun you can have with your cossie on. It's always buzzing, with its sandy beaches, waterfalls and swim-up blackjack. On summer Sunday evenings pop into your sequinned swimsuit for the raucous pool parties. 45 3 26 0 32 15 .
