Nevada Hotel Tips by Yaqui Top 5 Page for this destination

Harrah's Lake Tahoe Hotel/Casino: Wow, great rooms!!!

We had stayed here to treat ourselves one night, even though we had baby in hand and were trying to conserve money. But I was tired!! So, the hubby checked us in and they gave us an option of a fabulous room with a free breakfast. I loved the room and what a view. Nick just explored the whole room from top to bottom. It was comfortable, pretty, and had his and her bathrooms which anyone would die for. So many wonderful amenities to list. Great hotel.

Unique Qualities: We had a yummy breakfast on the top floor with a wonderful view.

Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino: Historic Charm

Colorado Belle attracted us because it was a replica of a 19th Century Mississippi Paddlewheel Riverboat that is over 600 Ft Long and 6 Decks high. We didn't stay in a very fancy room, but it had a lovely balcony and view of the river. We sat out there at night just admiring the beautiful river at night. I will admit the river is not the prettist, but it is sure cooling during the very hot summer months.

They have this wonderful riverwalk along the river. This hotel has live and electronic games.

The Colorado Belle hotel has rooms aboard the boat and two towers, offering over 1,167 hotel rooms, many with spectacular views.

Unique Qualities: Aboard the "boat", the Belle has 49 suites, each with either a jacuzzi-type tub or massaging, multiple-head shower, two velour robes, and many other hotel amenities to make your stay even more special.

They have two beautiful heated (to 80°) swimming pools, one for each tower, and a 14-person bubbling spa. In the summer, hotel’s sandy beach is home to a personal watercraft rental company, and throughout the year hotel guests may stroll and sunbathe along the beach.

Colorado Belle hotel & casino has the largest restaurant line up on the river.
Among our many dining venues are the Boiler Room--an award-winning Microbrewery and restaurant; Mark Twain's Chicken, Ribs & Steaks--voted best barbecue; the Mississippi Lounge--Laughlin's only fresh seafood bar; the Captain's Buffet, Paddlewheel 24-hour restaurant.

Bills Resort and Casino: Western Style & Family Fun!

Buffalo Bills is a 1242-room resort, owned by the MGM/Mirage Corporation. This western-themed hotel boasts a buffalo-shaped swimming pool and a large - 46,000-square foot -- casino. One of the highlights of Buffalo Bills is the "Desperado" roller coaster, which is 225-feet tall and reaches speeds of up to 95 mph.

We've ventured in here a lot of times. I like the old western decor is pretty neat. Lots of things to look at all around you. Kids really love this place because of all the amusement rides. So please check out the web sites about the rides.

Wydham Grand Desert: A Great Family Place!

We stayed here our last visit and I can honestly say we really enjoyed this place. It is very family orientated. Our room to me was more like a 4.5 star hotel. Really nicely decorated and had all the luxuries anyone could need. Our view was simply awesome to say the least. Plus, it is close enough, yet far enough away from the strip if that makes sense?! You can walk to the strip with no problem. Plenty of free parking. Each tower has it own pool area, but over in the main pool area, they had happy hour for the adults...yay! Live entertainment and they have a wonderful game room for the kids with loads of activities. They have a mini cafeteria and a little general store. They even have an adult pool area, which was really relaxing and very quiet. I was really impressed with the service at the front desk and the concierge services. They were really helpful in finding some of the museums. Vegas is growing and changing and so do some of the locations of the activities, so it might be a good idea to check with the concierge desk first.

Located a mile from Las Vegas Boulevard at the famed Strip's center, puts you close to world-famous Vegas thrills, yet far enough away to savor family-friendly fun, too. If you like active vacations, this modern, high-energy resort has a big choice of recreational amenities to make your Las Vegas stay a guaranteed winner.
