DK Travel : Las Vegas

The Entertainment Capital of the World offers just about everything: the world’s largest hotels; the brightest stars in show business; shops and restaurants that rival any on earth. It’s true, too, that the lights are brighter in Las Vegas. Yet you don’t have to go far from the glamour and glitter to find the natural beauty of lakes and the desert as well.

Spa at Monte Carlo

Topline furnishings and personalized service are hallmarks of this spa, which is a certified Reebok facility complete with a large gym. Heliotherapy, body wraps, body scrubs, facials, and a variety of massages are on the menu of services.
Spa at New York-New York

After a hard day on the tough streets – and slots – of New York, rejuvenate with an Aroma Stone massage (using warmed stones and essential oils), a Green Tea body glow, a Fijian Pineapple Sugar Rub, or a Caviar Indulgence Facial.
Spa Bellagio

This Italianate pampering palace combines the elegance of marble with cutting-edge fitness equipment. The spa’s signature treatment is the LaStone Massage, which combines specially “harvested” stones prepared in a hydrobath with an energy-balancing technique to provide a thoroughly relaxing experience. Service is attentive.
Sport Club Hall of Fame

This free hotel-lobby museum includes bats swung by top baseball players and aerial views of major stadiums.
St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

St. Patrick’s parties are held at various restaurants and bars, with the main celebration at the Fremont Street Experience. Crowd-pleasers include the Las Vegas Highland Pipe Band, entertainment on two stages, green beer (with green food coloring), and traditional Irish dishes.
Star Trek: The Experience

This innovative simulation plunges participants into the 24th century. Having assumed the identity of a Starfleet or alien crew member, they go speeding across the galaxies, encountering the enemy along the way. Hungry space travelers can dine on 24th-century cuisine at Quark’s Bar and Restaurant.
Stardust

A Las Vegas icon since it opened in 1958. Guests can stay in the hotel’s towers or the Motor Inn, which has motel-style rooms with parking bays.
Steak Dinner at Binion’s Horseshoe

From 11pm to 7am Binion’s coffee shop serves a full New York steak dinner for $4.99. The line of diners begins forming at 10:15pm.
Sterling Brunch

This may be the most expensive brunch in town, but the Sterling Brunch can compete with any in the world for quality and imagination. Two dozen appetizer choices include prosciutto mousse on raspberries, caviar with warm blinis, and lobster gazpacho. Roast salmon in phyllo pastry with shrimp and spinach mousseline is the carving station star, while French toast with cinnamon ice cream provides a delicious finale. Reservations required.
Stoney’s Pawn Shop

The granddaddy of pawn shops, Stoney’s is a treasure trove of unredeemed pledge items: a fascinating array of diamond rings, photographic equipment, musical instruments, and so on.
