We stayed for three nights, at $2773 per night. The room was incredibly spacious, as was the bathroom. The shower only had a showerhead, and the water control was quite odd – you had to pull it out firmly. Hot and cold water came from the same source. At first, I thought it was broken and there was no water. My husband, somehow inspired, gave it a strong pull and saved me from calling the front desk to change rooms. A slight disappointment was being assigned a room facing the parking lot with no view, but overall, for that price, I can't complain.
The location is excellent. You can walk south to New York-New York and north to The Venetian. Paris and Horseshoe have connecting walkways. Horseshoe is usually the pick-up point for Grand Canyon day tours, and we stayed in the Bordeaux Tower, so it was a leisurely 15-minute walk to the pick-up point at most.
There are many delicious small eateries near the hotel. We tried Taco Bell, Dirt Dog, Giordano's, and Panda Express (I personally love Panda Express so much I ate there twice).
Initially, I wanted to visit many of the *******, but later realized that their interior decor is pretty much the same – mostly shopping arcades. The more impressive parts are usually just at the entrances:
☑️ Flamingo Hotel: I'm super fascinated by the story of Bugsy Siegel. The hotel is full of flamingos and pink. Every flamingo motif made me feel a bit sad, thinking about Bugsy Siegel being murdered by his own people and how desperate his girlfriend must have been after losing him.
☑️ The Venetian: The main entrance replicates St. Mark's Square in Venice. We had just returned from Italy, and the recreation was quite faithful. There's even a small canal in the shopping area where you can take a gondola ride.
☑️ Caesars Palace: You absolutely must see the three-story rotating escalator. Riding down from the top, facing the statues, gives you an immersive feeling of traveling through ancient Rome. My husband said it felt like facing a final boss in a video game.
