Horseshoe
Horseshoe Las Vegas puts you at the center of the action, located at the famous Four Corners of The Las Vegas Strip. Horseshoe is renowned for its comfortable, laid-back style. And just as assuredly, it invites you to be yourself. While it captures the feel of old Vegas, these rooms have upgraded room amenities like flat-screen TVs, docking stations and pillow-top beds.
Paris Las Vegas
With its 530-foot-tall replica of the Eiffel Tower, its Arc de Triomphe, the sophisticated shopping along Le Boulevard, Paris Las Vegas is more than a magnificent homage to the City of Light; it’s one of the most sophisticated destinations you could possibly choose. Give in to your every desire at Paris Las Vegas, whether you crave decadent dining, world class entertainment or thrilling nightlife.
Caesars Palace
As famous as Las Vegas itself, Caesars Palace is the best-known casino resort in the world—and with good reason. What began as a grand casino honoring the indulgent luxuries of ancient Rome has somehow evolved into something even more spectacular. From the moment you walk through the doors of Caesars Palace, you’ll understand why this iconic Las Vegas hotel sets the standard for opulent details, impeccable service and lavish Las Vegas accommodations.
Planet Hollywood
There’s something about Planet Hollywood that makes a person feel famous. Everything from the stylish accommodations to the level of personal service is decidedly A-List. With an abundance of distinctive Hollywood-inspired venues, Planet Hollywood can transform any meeting into a hip, red carpet affair. At Planet Hollywood, the celebrity lifestyle is yours for the living and fame lies around every corner.
Flamingo
For 70 years, Flamingo Las Vegas has set the trend for Las Vegas style. This is where the Strip began, and though much has changed since then, the Flamingo’s vibrancy and allure remain the same. The Flamingo is classic Vegas with a contemporary sophistication that’s as welcoming as it is hip. Stay center strip at the forever fabulous Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
