DK Travel : Las Vegas : The Strip

Walk along the Las Vegas Strip and you’ll see that some of the best things in Las Vegas life are free – especially when it comes to sightseeing and entertainment. It costs nothing to walk through the hotel-casinos, and you can window-shop to your heart’s content in their shopping promenades. The hotel architecture makes for an attraction in its own right: where else would you find an Egyptian sphinx, a Polynesian paradise, and a medieval castle in the same block? In addition, almost every hotel-casino has some sort of free entertainment going on outside its doors.

Gameworks

Perhaps the noisiest place in town, Gameworks occupies a vast space on the lower level of the Showcase Mall, and offers more than 250 games as well as a restaurant and climbing wall.
Harrah’s

Friendly hotel with comfortable rooms. It is also possible to play keno through the room’s TV set.
In-Room Video Games

Most major Strip hotels will rent or loan video-game equipment to guests with children. Since by law no child under the age of 12 should be left unsupervised in a game arcade (and there is also a curfew for under-18s), many parents want to take advantage of this useful service.
Luxor

Its 30-story pyramid and giant sphinx have been Vegas landmarks since 1993.
M&Ms World

Extraordinary as it seems, an entire attraction – including a 3-D movie – has been built around these tiny, candy-coated chocolates.
MGM Grand

Despite being one of the largest hotels in the world, the Grand maintains a relaxed ambience. It boasts a luxurious spa (see MGM Grand Spa).
MGM Grand Arcade

The huge arcade features the very best in video and virtualreality games.
MGM Grand Lion Habitat

In keeping with MGM’s lion theme, the hotel has a glass viewing station in the midst of a lion enclosure, allowing you to stand face to face with the king of beasts. Three of the 30 or so animals, Goldie, Metro, and Baby, are descendants of the original Leo, who posed for the famous MGM movie logo.
MGM Grand Lion Habitat

Ferocious roars sound a warning as you approach the glass viewing tunnel.
Midway at Circus Circus

Games galore, plus an array of fun mirrors, hotdog stands, popcorn machines, and other carnival delights.
