  • The stars play at upscale casinos such as MGM Grand, Bellagio, and Caesars Palace; stargazers should aim, apparently, for 11pm to 1am on weekends.

  • Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this collection is that all the vehicles are for sale. Elvis Presley’s 1972 Lincoln Continental and a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III that was once owned by Lucille Ball are just two of the vehicles that have passed through these doors. Look out for free tickets at tourist-information stations and in entertainment magazines.

  • Bellagio Lobby

    Settle down on a sofa to watch the gold dripping from the jet set. Soothe your envy with piano music from the caviar bar, Petrossian, and the marvelous artistry of the ceiling.

  • Too much shopping is bad for the feet. So sit yourself down on one of those inviting benches in Desert Passage, and watch the world go by; the best ones are near Cashman Photos.

  • Caesars Palace Grounds

    When Caesars Palace opened in 1966, no one had ever seen anything quite like it. The grounds, studded with Roman-style statuary, were – and still are – enchanting.

  • Central Park

    The hotel’s public area echoes famous New York City spots; the casino currently ranks as a top spot with the younger crowd, and they dress to be seen.

  • Over the course of almost 30 years Circus Circus has entertained hundreds of thousands of spectators with their impressive shows. Stars have included the Flying Farfans of Argentina, the miniature-bicycle rider Charles Charles of Paris, and Russian acrobat Valerie Akishin. With performances every half hour, you can pop back for different shows to catch a wide variety of acts.

  • This is certainly one of the city’s more unusual attractions: an indoor rainstorm falling on a 155-ft (50-m) merchant ship.

  • An increasing number of supersize signs like the one at MGM are appearing on the Strip. Look up at one of these to gain a new perspective on your fellow men.

  • Do some detective work on where the stars are each day by calling 702 486 2727. This number will tell you the daily casting calls and where filming is taking place.
