The
Tropicana Resort and Casino is a stone's throw from the Park, set amid five
acres of tropically landscaped grounds, pools, lagoons and waterfalls. It offers
a rare culinary journey, with five onsite restaurants offering delectable Japanese,
Caribbean and international cuisine. Grab a coffee at the
Sundance Bar and Grill ( Silverton
Hotel and Casino , Blue Diamond Road). Their brick oven pizzas are a treat!
Located one block on the Strip, the Silverton
is good value for a stay and offers a deli and a buffet open from 7 am to 10:30pm.
Las Vegas has a way of stoking your appetite for the bigger,
richer and the glitzier. The
Rio (Flamingo Rd.) has a unique way of satisfying it. Its five fine-dining
restaurants and ten casual dining spots are worth checking out. But the real star
is undoubtedly the Carnival World Buffet - the largest buffet in Vegas and one
of the finest. The Voodoo café and lounge at the
51 st floor offer a scintillating view of Las Vegas. The
Rio also stages one of the best FREE shows in Vegas. Another
famed attraction is The Fremont Street Experience , a stone's throw from the Golden
Nugget . If you're lucky you might get to stay at one of their Victorian-style
redecorated rooms overlooking the distant Sierra Nevada Mountains. But for now
you have food on your mind, so head for one of the five luxurious onsite restaurants.
From The
Rio at Flamingo Rd. take the Rancho Drive to get to the Nevada Zoological
Park , where your brush with the big cats should whet your hunger for the "Feast
from around the world" buffet at Texas Station (Texas Star Lane). Situated within
a kilometer off the Park, Texas Station has many onsite offerings for your dining
pleasure- including Austin's steakhouse, San Lorenzo Italian Restaurant for fine
dining, Texas Star Oyster Bar and Texas Café. For
a taste of history, head for the Golden
Gate Hotel and Casino. Built in 1906, it's the oldest on Fremont Street. The
Golden
Gate was the first to serve the famous shrimp cocktail, which can still be
had for 99 cents at their Shrimp Bar and Deli. The Bay City Diner is another great
value, loved for its outstanding traditional entrees. With
so much to sample, Las Vegas is rapidly emerging as a culinary capital, catering
to different tastes and pocketbooks.
