 Endangered Hotel: AladdinPublished 5/17/2006
The Aladdin Las Vegas is one of the few hotels on the Strip that doesn't make you pass through the casino to get anywhere -- you can access your rooms, the pool areas, and the restaurants without hearing the jingle of a slot machine. The Aladdin Las Vegas rose from the ashes of the classic hotel, scene of the wedding of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, among other historic events. Soon to be turned into a Planet Hollywood, so see it while you can. |
The Strip's Newest Casino is a Wynn
The newest resort property in Las Vegas is not just more of the same. Wynn spent the past five years planning, designing and developing the 215-acre site that had been home to the Desert Inn. This time, the resort carries his signature: Wynn Las Vegas. The cost, $2.7 billion, makes the 2,716-room hotel-casino the most expensive Strip endeavor of its kind. Wynn has again changed the look of the Las Vegas skyline with the resort's 50-story, curved tower covered in bronze glass. Acclaimed director Franco Dragone will present a multimillion-dollar water-themed production show in a 2,087-seat theater-in-the-round setting, which includes a 1 million gallon performance pool that doubles as a stage. |
