Downtown Las Vegas' tallest hotel, the 34-story The D Las Vegas has over 600 rooms with terrific views at reasonable prices in the heart of legendary Fremont Street.
Originally known as the Fitgeralds Hotel & Casino, the newly remodeled hotel is quickly becoming a popular epicenter for energy and excitement in downtown Las Vegas. The rooms provide a fresh, fun atmosphere just steps from Fremont Street's action. The two-story casino is one of a kind in Las Vegas - the first floor offers modern chick atmosphere, while the second floor is a throwback to classic, vintage Vegas. Visitors can enjoy a lively atmosphere at the LONGBAR or the D Bar with easy access to the casino, hotel and downtown action of East Fremont Street's Entertainment District.
There are several dining options to choose from including fine and casual dining. Don B Steakhouse offers gourmet cuisine in a comfortable setting. Expertly prepared steaks, seafood, and desserts compliment the assortment of wines for a wonderful evening downtown. For the casual diner, Courtyard Grill features generous portions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And of course, McDonalds on the property is always great for a quick meal between activities!
Don't miss the spectacular view from the D Bar, which overlooks the lights of VivaVision and all the action below on Fremont Street. You'll always be entertained at the D, with award-winning entertainment. Kevin Burke brings his wacky, off-the-cuff comedy in his one-man-show "Mind-Blowing Comedy", while a cast of unique characters help solve the crime in the interactive murder mystery dinner show "Marriage Can Be Murder."

According to the Travel Channel, the Casino Royale Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip is one of the "best places in the world to strike it rich" - on par with the Kentucky Derby and the Monte-Carlo Casino in Monaco - due to "great odds and low minimums." Maybe it's because the Casino Royale offers 100 times odds on craps. The casino also features such table games as Spanish 21, roulette, blackjack switch and Caribbean stud, as well as over 500 slot and video poker games (from one-cent to five-dollar pulls), including Wheel of Fortune, Elvis, Megabucks and Jeopardy.
Conveniently located across the street from the Mirage, this hotel offers 150 comfortable, affordable accommodations surrounded by the 24/7 sizzle of the Strip.
Stay on the premises to gamble, and you can enjoy lunch or dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, featuring beautiful views of the Strip, or a Grand-Slam breakfast, famous burger or classic dinner at the 24-hour Denny's restaurant.

The California Hotel & Casino is one Las Vegas hotel and casino whose theme includes its chief clientele. About 70 percent of the California's guests come from Hawaii, and they feel right at home here amid the more than 750 hotel rooms island motif and the management's attention to cultural preferences - including laid-back, friendly hospitality.
Hawaiians love a deal - in both senses. So the California has reasonable rates and a spacious, two-level casino with more than 1,000 slots, 35 table games and a full-service race and sports book.
But, on the dining side, the theme takes a turn back toward the hotel's name. Just off the casino floor is the 24-hour Market Street Café, which serves sandwiches, steaks and Asian specialties. Also saluting Northern California are the upscale Redwood Bar and Grill, featuring steak and seafood, and the Pasta Pirate, which offers a fresh taste of Fisherman's Wharf seafood plus an array of homemade pastas.
The California connects with both sides of the downtown action. It's a block away from all the excitement of the Fremont Street Experience, and the "Bridge Avenue" skywalk guides pedestrians over Main Street to Main Street Station, so guests can enjoy the dining, gaming and shops at that property, too.
Hotel amenities include an outdoor pool and several retail shops, among them the Vegas 808 store. That number would be Hawaii's area code.

Celebrating the glory of Rome, Caesars Palace has been a must-see destination resort since it opened in 1966. Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, those famous fountains, dramatic gabled pediments and Corinthian columns are world-renowned.
A renaissance that began in 2000 has elevated its status even higher. The addition of the $95 million Colosseum brings superstar performers and lavish productions shows. Celebrity chefs Bradley Ogden and Bobby Flay joined Caesars with the opening of Ogden's namesake restaurant, and Flay's Mesa Grill, his first restaurant outside New York. The Forum Shops at Caesars added 60 new upscale retailers to an existing group of 100 shops during its recent expansion including Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, CH Carolina Herrera and Harry Winston. The addition of a five-acre, open-air Roman Plaza features the Italian trattoria Viale, which overlooks the Strip as well as an outdoor event amphitheatre.
The A-list Pure Nightclub made its debut on New Year's Eve and continues to host spectacular events and specialty nights. As if that was not enough, French chef Guy Savoy opened a restaurant on the property's luxury Augustus hotel tower with nearly 1000 rooms. The newest addition is the Octavius tower which features spectacular views of Las Vegas!
Elegant guest rooms and suites feature such standard amenities as marble- finished bathrooms, soaking tubs, in-room televised gaming instruction and high-speed Internet access. Deluxe suites include such lavish accoutrements as private dining rooms, wet bars, saunas, steam rooms, home-theater systems, putting greens and workout rooms. The penthouse suite, with butler, security and attendant services, are a sight only for the super elite.
Inspired by Rome's famed Baths of Caracalla, the "Garden of the Gods" offers a refreshing break from the desert heat with several swimming pools surrounded by graceful fountains and classic statues. Relax in the private oasis of the Venus Pool, which offers guests 21 and over a serene escape from the traditional hectic pool experience. Two outdoor wedding chapels overlook the lush grounds.
There's so much more to see: The Qua Baths & Salon will leave you invigorated; the trendy "COLOR - A Salon by Michael Boychuck" is THE place to prepare for a spectacular night out; 300,000-square-feet of premium meeting and convention space; and 129,000 square feet of gaming space, with the Palace, Forum and high-limit Palace Court casinos full of table games, high-tech slots and poker room.
