Las Vegas has a ton of "BIG" hotels and many of them have some amazing themes. Even if the theme isn't such a great theme, they make up for the problem by just being so frigging HUGE.
Excalibur is a medieval castle. The casino floor hasn't been updated in years, but the place is so tremendously huge, no one seems to mind it.
MGM Grand is large... and has live lions for people to see. It is supposedly the largest casino in the world.
New York, New York is like stepping in Times Square on a Saturday night. It is packed with people and there is more neon that a run of strip clubs in Sayreville, New Jersey on Route 35.
Caesers and Paris have simplistic themes yet find a way to manage them all with class.
However... I have to mention my favorite one of them all -- The Venetian.
The Venetian is simple. It is based upon the gorgeous and romantic city of Venice, Italy and the hotel's creators have done a fantastic job of creating a smaller and simplistic version of the most romantic city in the world.
The clock tower of St. Mark's Square is outside the hotel.
St. Mark's Square is replicated inside.
Performers and an orchestra perform under a fake setting sun sky.
Gondolas navigate through a canal placed right in the middle of a shopping center.
It brought back so many wonderful memories of my beautiful honeymoon that I didn't want to leave.
At least this one isn't/wasn't so garrish. I really enjoyed being there and I would go back again...
Simplistic over the top....unlike New York, New York.
