THE STRIP. This casino rises above Vegas's trademark glitz to provide visitors with a truly upscale gambling experience.

A luxurious poker room with plenty of action and high- and low-limits provides a haven for 7 Card Stud devotees. High-limit slot machines ply passers-by with the possibility of big wins, and gigantic flat-screen televisions and comfy chairs beckon from the race and sports book lounge. Details like wood accents, elegant upholstery, and swanky light fixtures please even the most discerning gamers.

THE STRIP. Caesar's Palace offers one of the most famous casinos in all of Vegas. The gaming area consists of two wings – an older section for serious, high-stakes gamblers undaunted by pricey bidding and a newer Olympic Casino that caters to more conservative gamers with less money to burn. Over 2000 slot and video poker machines, blackjack and craps tables, roulette wheels, and other games are set in opulent surroundings. The place also features a plush, state-of-the-art race and sports book with 38 video screens and 650 seats. Plus, vaulted ceilings, marble columns, and graceful arches create an aesthetically thrilling environment that attracts as many visitors and tourists as gamers.

Check out the Flamingo's 15-acre Garden of Eden or enjoy shows like "The Great Radio City Spectacular" or "Forever Plaid."

THE STRIP. The casino at the MGM Grand is more than grand – it is the largest casino-entertainment complex in the world. Encompassing four themed gaming areas (Hollywood, Emerald City, Monte Carlo, and Sports, each with distinctive decor), the casino spans 171,500 square feet, over 50,000 more than the next-largest Vegas casino. The games offered include, but are most definitely not limited to, 3700 slot and video poker machines, 76 blackjack and 15 craps tables, and 17 roulette wheels. When the Grand opened, it took 39 armored cars two days to bring in enough money to stock the casino! Also, the Grand is an ideal place for families visiting the area; the youth center, multiple showrooms, and 33-acre theme park give children plenty of opportunities for fun while parents enjoy the gaming facilities.

THE STRIP. Modeled after the Place du Casino in Monaco, the Monte Carlo offers one of the most plush and opulent gaming areas in Las Vegas. A lot of the noise from the 2200 slot and video poker machines, 60 blackjack and 8 craps tables, 10 roulette wheels, and other games is absorbed by the high ceiling and soft upholstery, making it one of the more comfortably quiet casinos around. Options for high-rollers abound, as one can forgo the already above-average table minimums for the exclusive high limit room with table games or the "Top Hat" high bidder slot area. A gorgeous layout and several fancy chandeliers combine to make the Monte Carlo one of the more classy acts in town.

Some 2400 slot and video poker machines, 41 blackjack tables, 8 craps tables, 7 roulette wheels, and other games are interspersed throughout buildings, restaurants, and an abundance of city streets. The wondrous detail and urban style of the casino match the half-sized Statue of Liberty and scaled-down versions of the Empire State Building and other skyscrapers that house guests. Service and hospitality are on par with the attention to detail.

Paris Las Vegas

THE STRIP. Paris Las Vegas casino is as much an experience as it is a gaming room, and the decor recalls beautiful Parisian streets with careful attention. In addition, three legs of the resort's 50-story Eiffel Tower replica extend into the casino. Interspersed throughout the gaming room are over 2000 slot and video poker machines and over 100 table games, including a special high-limit area for serious high-rollers. The facility also offers a comfortable race and sports book for athletic wagers. For a distraction from gaming, ride to the top of the Tower and enjoy a magnificent view of the Strip, or take in the "Notre Dame de Paris" musical spectacular.
