Starting at one of the most grand and opulent hotels in Vegas with ceilings so high you feel you’ve stepped into the vestibule of Olympus. The architecture borrows the best from everywhere: Corinthian columns, art deco trim, Romanesque murals, chandeliers the size of small planets with Dutch made acrylic birds that sing from a bronze sculpted, gold leaf wishing tree in the morning. There’s no singular style, only one unspoken rule: everything must glimmer. A low-key, tranquil, Italian marbled palace. Well pass by a 125+ yr old hand-built gondola, 12ft tall steel Love sign and a shopping center filled with happy hours, food and drink deals in a variety of restaurant - a British Pub w/ darts and a view of the Strip, a Brazilian, Peruvian & Japanese restaurant bar in an Orange forest and more. You'll also pass by Vegas's largest poker room and a vintage style rare book-shop from the TV show Pawn Stars. It's luxury without the crowds!

The Venetian Las Vegas is not a hotel—it’s a fever dream in marble and moonlight, a Baroque hallucination transported brick by imagined brick from the canals of northern Italy and replanted in the glowing heart of the Nevada desert. Inside, marble columns rise beside storefronts that masquerade as boutiques but feel like theater sets. The Grand Canal curls lazily through an indoor piazza filled with happy hours, lunch specials and hand-painted Italian murals. Its ceiling a perfect sunset sky that never quite convinces but never quite has to. It is daylight forever in the Venetian. From the moment you approach, you’re not walking into a building—you’re stepping into a story. Gondolas rock gently in turquoise water under a sky that never darkens, piloted by striped-shirt gondoliers who croon beneath bridges sculpted in perfect, implausible imitation. The Venetian is not about accuracy—it’s about emotion. It’s not trying to be Venice. It’s trying to capture the longing Venice evokes.

The Casino Royale in Las Vegas doesn’t strut or gleam—it grins. Nestled on the Strip like a scrappy street poet between marble giants and neon titans, it leans in close with a raspy laugh and says, “Come on in, sweetheart. We still do it the old way.” It doesn’t pretend to be a palace. It doesn’t need to. It’s the beating, beer-scented heart of Vegas as it once was—louder, cheaper, and a little more alive. There’s no chandelier made of a thousand crystals. There’s no Roman column or faux-Venetian canal. There is, instead, the unmistakable glow of $3 beers, the clatter of cheap chips, and the glorious scent of $3 hot dogs cooked just slightly too long. Inside, the ceiling feels low, like a secret. The carpet is loud and unapologetic, a kaleidoscope of colors that seem to whisper of long nights and longer odds. The lighting is dim, not moody but practical—because in Casino Royale, the star is the action, not the ambiance. This is Vegas without the designer heels!

The piano bar at Harrah’s Las Vegas is not just a venue—it’s a living, laughing, late-night confession booth with a baby grand altar and cocktails for communion. Tucked just off the Strip like a secret only the fun people know, it doesn’t whisper elegance; it shouts joy. The lights are low but the energy is high, fizzing like soda pop in a champagne glass, and the music spills into the casino like a siren song wrapped in show tunes and shot specials.

Carnaval Court at Harrah’s Las Vegas isn’t just a bar—it’s an open-air spectacle, a kinetic carnival of sound and color that pulses like a heartbeat in the center of the Strip. It’s where the desert heat meets the rhythm of live music, and the night air is thick with the scent of cocktails and the promise of spontaneous celebration. From noon until the early morning hours, this vibrant venue transforms into a street party that never sleeps. Live bands and DJs keep the diverse crowd dancing and grooving, while charismatic flair bartenders dazzle with bottle-flipping performances as they prepare your drinks. For those feeling lucky, blackjack tables offer a chance to test your fortune under the stars.

The LINQ is a vibrant fusion of modern design and lively entertainment, centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip. This resort offers a dynamic atmosphere with features like the High Roller Observation Wheel and the Fly LINQ Zipline.

The littlest casino on the Vegas Strip and home to my favorite frozen baileys - O’Sheas offers a selection of low minimum table games, including blackjack and roulette, allowing guests to test their luck in a more intimate setting compared to the sprawling casinos nearby. The outdoor bar area provides a perfect spot to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the Promenade, with views of the High Roller observation wheel adding to the visual spectacle. Whether you're seeking a casual drink, a spirited game, or a night of dancing and camaraderie, O’Sheas Pub delivers an experience that's both sort-of Irish and unmistakably Vegas.

Tucked behind the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip lies a serene sanctuary: the Flamingo Wildlife Habitat. This lush, four-acre retreat offers a tranquil escape from the city's hustle, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in nature's beauty. As you wander through the habitat, you'll encounter a vibrant array of wildlife. Chilean flamingos, with their striking pink plumage, gracefully navigate the waters, while exotic ducks, and turtles add to the scene. Koi fish glide beneath the ponds, and the gentle sounds of waterfalls provide a soothing backdrop. The habitat's design, featuring meandering streams and shaded pathways, creates an environment that feels worlds apart from the surrounding city. It's a hidden little oasis, in the middle of a casino, quiet, mellow, filled with palm tress and fake grass. Sadly, there's a Carlos & Charlies that does a morning drink special and a 2-4-1 happy hour but it's outside open-air patio overlooks the garden.

Rule #76 - No excuses, play like a champion and no mames guey.
I also host a bar crawl if you want more of a drinking experience
