Monte Carlo
The Monte Carlo is best known for Lance Burton's magic show and the now defunct lion taming act of Siegfried and Roy. But the hotel still offers its visitors a first-class spot on the strip and four-star amenities. Standard rooms feature Italian marble and cherry wood furniture, but if you're in need of more room, try one of its suites, which range from 700 to 825 square feet and include one- and two-bedroom layouts. Eight restaurants, table games and a poker room, plus a Starbucks provide food, drink and entertainment.
