A Gambler’s Odyssey: Las Vegas

Las Vegas is the ultimate gambler’s paradise, it is the symbol of everything that is fun and games. Let’s get to know it better.

When we thought of which places to list in our compilation, it was obvious that we couldn’t leave Las Vegas out.

• Hotels are fully equipped
• Great outdoor activities
• Exquisite restaurants and casinos

It is the city that immediately pops into my mind when I think of casinos. It is the home to the best US poker rooms, restaurants and hotels anyone could wish for. The shows are over the top and the architecture is monumental. And the best phrase of all times: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Let’s go!

Where to stay?

High rollers choose to stay at some of the best hotels in Vegas, including Caesars Palace, ARIA Resort & Casino, the Venetian, the Bellagio and MGM Grand. Each of them have huge casinos, wonderful restaurants and exciting bars. Stay in the Bellagio’s Grand Lakeview Suite or one of the Sky Villas of ARIA Resort. With such modern and opulent designs, you’ll know from the moment you have stepped into the suite that you’re life is on track. Take a dip in one of the pools or use your private gym and sauna. Book a massage before you try your luck in some of the most lavish hotel-casinos you have ever seen, and have dinner in privacy with the most astonishing skyline view you have ever seen.

Where to eat?

One can really get famished from gambling all day long. Try the most exquisite restaurants, often located right at the hotel where you’re staying and get your mind blown by gastronomic innovations. For example, if you’re already staying at Caesars Palace, you have to try Guy Savoy’s ten-course meal. Or, the degustation menu at Le Cirque if you’re staying at the Bellagio. If, however, you want a change of scenery after a short session of mobile casino gambling in your fabulous hotel suite, eat at the edge of the stratosphere in Top Of The World or dig into the best filet mignon you’ve ever eaten in Craftsteak.

Where to gamble?

Poker winners, listen up. You came to Vegas for a reason and I’m guessing it’s not for the scenery. Many of the best casinos are located in hotels like the ARIA Resort or Caesars Palace, but if you wish to go on a little bit of an adventure, you’ll definitely find casinos around town that will cater to your high level needs. Take The D Las Vegas, with its two floors or pure entertainment in Downtown Vegas with a vast array of slots, card games and sports betting. You could also check out the brand new Cosmopolitan, with a gaming empire so large that you won’t be able to try everything in a week and a vibrant atmosphere that will instantly brighten your day.

Fun and games

What happens when you’ve gambled your heart out and you’ve eaten everything that is delicious? Then comes the part where you discover the city. Put your mobile betting aside for a moment and check out all that Vegas has to offer. If you left your Lambo at home, don’t you worry, you can rent a Ferrari and drive around the city. Maybe stop at some of the main attractions like the Mob Museum that takes you back in time to when Tony Spilotro was still alive. Go kayaking, or take a chopper tour above the Grand Canyon. Feeling extreme? Go skydiving.

If all of these programs are still not enough or you wish to stay in your high-end hotel, that’s no problem, either: reserve tickets for some of the best shows the world has ever seen, like those of the Cirque du Soleil or the Blue Man Group. Some of the most exclusive restaurants in the city are also located in these hotels, so you really don’t need to worry about anything: entertainment in Vegas is always at arms length.
