The Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino

Nestled in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, a stay at The Venetian will put you right in the middle of the action. Make a home away from home in one of the 4,027 rooms and kick back on the pillowtop bed with premium TV channels and CD players for entertainment. Both wired and wireless Internet are available, as is a full-service spa. Try your hand at luck in the massive casino or test out your dancing shoes at a nightclub.

Health and fitness enthusiasts will have plenty to do, between the fitness centers and even a climbing wall.

The resort's restaurant serves meals throughout the day, including room service around the clock. The poolside bar is a great place to rewind after a day of exploring the city as well. This iconic hotel is a great place to stay on your visit to dazzling Las Vegas.

Caesar's Palace

Last but certainly not least on this list is the one and only Caesar's Palace. The ornate entrance, beautiful fountains and statues, bas-reliefs, and exceptional amenities all contribute to this over-the-top hotel. Everything is ancient Roman themed: have your picture taken with Caesar, Cleopatra, the centurion guard, and the life-sized replica of the statue of David. The rooms are so lavish and comfortable that you'll actually want to hang out in yours.

Aside from the obvious visual splendor of the hotel, the attractions and live shows are reason themselves to stay there. Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Matt Goss, and Britney Spears' regular shows attract visitors from around the globe; every Colosseum show gets sold out. In fact, Newsweek called Dion's show "Las Vegas' biggest act since Elvis."

Las Vegas is a wonderfully glamorous city with so much to offer visitors, it would be hard to experience it all on one trip. Each of these hotels offers extensive amenities for its guests and would be a great place to call home during your trip to Sin City.
