The South Strip of Las Vegas
The South Strip is known as
the most costly of all. The majority of the hotels on this
end are resorts and is more sophisticated than the hotels
at the other end of the strip or on Fremont Street. These
are hotels with massive towers and everything from shopping
to spas to convention centers. Let's take a look at the sights
on the south end of the strip.
The first hotel you will see when going north on the strip
is the Four Seasons hotel. These people do everything in a
big way from the entranceway to the cotton sheets on the beds.
There is also no clanging or ringing of a casino to overload
your senses as you walk through the door.
For casino sounds that are quite abundant, follow the signs
and go through the side door of the Four Seasons and you walk
right into the Mandelay Bay's casino and gaming tables. If
you walk a little further into the lobby, you will see a huge
aquarium that advertises for the hotel's Shark Reef Experience.
If you have an hour or two, go and see the wildlife ranging
from crocodiles, pirahna, sharks, jellyfish, and even some
baby rays you can touch.
The next hotel you come to will be the Luxor. You can't miss
this one with the big pyramid and Sphinx sitting in front
of it. This hotel is decorated with Egyptian tones and has
a unique lobby inside. The rooms go up the outside of the
pyramid and the elevator, which is called, and INCLINATOR
actually travels at a slant up the floors.
The Excalibur Hotel is out of King Arthur days. It is a gigantic
fairy tale castle complete with dragons and pageantry on the
interior. Make sure to eat the Tournament of Kings medieval
style buffet complete with a jousting tourist lure.
