M Resort
Located several miles south of the Strip on I-15, the M Resort is the newest Las Vegas casino at the time this article was written. It opened to the public on March 1, 2009, showing an emphasis on luxury and at a reasonable price. Even the standard rooms have high-end amenities like pillow-top mattresses, work desks with executive chairs, dual sinks, marble floors, separate bathtubs and showers, TVs in the bathroom, MP3 docking stations, and mini-bars.
If you are looking for a great meal after a day at the golf course, visit Veloce Cibo at the top of the M Resort. The restaurant offers gourmet dining and cocktails with a breathtaking view of the mountains. To relax, visit the 23,000-square foot spa for a massage or a session in the sauna.
