Famous Las Vegas Hotels

Historically speaking, the Flamingo may be the most famous hotel in Las Vegas. The Flamingo was the hotel that famed mobster Bugsy Siegel hoped would transform this sleepy desert town into a money mountain for the mob. The Flamingo of today is quite different from the hotel that transformed Las Vegas into the center of gambling, but history still permeates the place. The Flamingo offers guests a casino, eight restaurants, five pools and access to the Casacata and Rio Secco golf courses.

For most people, the one thing that makes Caesar's Palace most famous is probably the indelible image of daredevil motorcycle jumper Evil Knievel somersaulting like a rag doll after crashing over the fountains outside. Caesar's was the hotel that introduced the outlandish thematic concept that now grips the city from New York, New York, to the Luxor. As the all-time Emperor of Kitsch, Caesar's Palace will always hold a place in the Vegas Hall of Fame. Contemporary golfers will find it a great place to stay because it also features a special deal with the Casacata and Rio Secco courses.

The Fremont Hotel is famous for being the first hotel to give downtown Las Vegas a skyline. The logical extreme of this initial effort to give Vegas a defining cityscape is the tallest structure in the state, the Stratosphere Tower. Of course, for many Vegas regulars, the Fremont's claim to fame is a bit more down to Earth. It was the hotel that launched the career of Wayne Newton. Today, the hotel is more famous as the gateway to the popular Fremont Street Experience.
