Las Vegas Hilton
The Las Vegas Hilton is a bit different from other top Vegas hotels in that it appeals primarily to conventioneers due to its proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center. It is also a nice play to stay for gamblers who enjoy a cozy casino rather than the monster casinos on the strip. The Hilton offers a good buffet along with a series of restaurants that serve up everything from thick cheeseburgers to sushi. The downside to the Hilton is that it requires cab fare or parking fees to go anywhere else in town. The upside is that contained everything you could possibly need after a day at the convention center is just minutes away by walking through the hotel.
