Bally’s
Unless it’s ‘bigger is better, ’ there’s no real theme at the Strip’s most staid megaresort, with a football-field-sized casino overhung by twinkling chandeliers and overstuffed blue-velvet chairs. But Bally’s biggest attractions are not about gaming. Jubilee! is one of Vegas’ long-running showgirl extravaganzas. After performances, the leggy dancers often pose for their over-the-hill admirers at the casino’s Indigo lounge. Or visitors can peek behind the curtains on a backstage tour. The monorail station is at the back, and an interior walkway connects to Paris Las Vegas.

Bellagio
Built by Steve Wynn on the site of the legendary Dunes, the Bellagio is Vegas’ original, opulent, if entirely parvenu, pleasure villa. You may recognize it from the 2001 remake of the Rat Pack–era movie Ocean’s Eleven. At the water’s edge of an artificial lake, from which spring more than a thousand dancing fountains, is a cluster of Tuscan buildings purporting the illusion of having been plucked from Italy’s Lake District.

New York–New York
Give me your tired, huddled (over a Wheel of Fortune slot machine) masses. The mini-megapolis of New York–New York has scaled-down replicas of the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty, a mini Brooklyn Bridge and scale-warped renditions of the Chrysler and Ziggurat buildings, all topped off by a roller coaster wrapped around the colorful facade. The crowd is young and party-hardy.

Flamingo
In 1946 the Flamingo was the talk of the town. The New York Mafia had shelled out millions to finish building this tropical gaming oasis in the desert. Billy Wilkerson, owner of the Hollywood Reporter and some sizzling-hot LA nightclubs, originally broke ground here. But he ran out of money fast, so the mob stepped in.

Aria
Believe it or not, there’s only one casino at CityCenter. And that’s at Aria, a resort hotel with a Japanese-inspired spa, heavy-hitter dining rooms and a quirky Cirque du Soleil show, Viva Elvis, which has its own official store for die-hard fans of the King.
