Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes, and they seem to change those shapes and sizes yearly. One of the few constants on the strip is a Vegas hotel located at the north end of the Strip. This hotel is celebrating it’s 55th year of existence which is equivalent to the life span of about 5 hotels in Las Vegas. It is The Sahara.
The Sahara has seen so many highs and lows that it would take 50 posts to cover them all. Some of the notables though are: Being the setting for the original “Ocean’s eleven” film, hosting the Beatles and of course Dean Martin.

The Wynn Las Vegas is impressive; in fact, it is the only destination casino resort in the world to receive both the Mobil 5 Star and AAA 5 Diamond rating.
I have to admit the first time I saw the Wynn being built I thought it was odd. I thought it was an odd design and an odd place. Yes, it was on the Strip but it was so far on the other end that I thought it was a poor choice. And the design, it was (and is) elegant, sleek and modern. But, this is Vegas baby where are the lions, flamingos and sphinxes? All in all I thought poor Mr. Wynn had finally lost his mind.

The rebranded Planet Hollywood casino-hotel opened in Las Vegas over the weekend with a slew of celebrities on hand.
Singer Barbra Streisand, Sylverster Stallone, James Brolin, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore were among those who attended the grand opening.
Will be interesting to see as they did some re-modeling to the already impressive Aladdin. As you can see the outside looks nothing like the desert themed Aladdin

Have you ever wondered why the floors in most casinos look like some type of bad joke? Why the beautiful multi-billion dollar resorts would put such awful second-rate flooring in their building?
As with most everything in Las Vegas there is a reason. The first and most obvious reason for the busy designs is traffic. Las Vegas sees more than 35 million people a year, incidentally about the population of Canada, that is a lot of people walking and spilling all over the floors. The busier the design the less likely a flaw will stand out.
The other reason, and probably the more important reason for the Casino, is the psychological effect busy designs have on the human brain. Busy designs are hard on the human eye, causing the viewer to look away. It is the same reason why so many of the casinos have high ceilings; it causes the viewer to look away from the dizzying heights. So if you aren’t looking down and you aren’t looking up, where are you looking? Straight ahead where the casino has all it’s offers, such as slots, table games or even show tickets.
Just another reason why you just have love Las Vegas. Who would have thought that Las Vegas casinos would invent the use of gaudy carpets? Ingenious.

Ding, Ding, Ding. The noise is everywhere, from the minute you step off the airplane to the minute you leave. Whirrs, bops, mechanical screeches, but most of all dings. What is making this racket? Slots, and they are absolutely everywhere. They are in airports, cafes, bars, casinos, convenience stores, even on the streets and everywhere they are there is noise.
How did these devices of infernal racket become so popular? What makes them work? 3 lines, 5 lines, 40 lines which one should I play?
