Nevada Travel: Where to Stay

Colorado AvidGolfer

Eureka Casino and Resort consistently rates as one of Mesquite’s top resorts because it consistently upgrades its facility. The last five years have seen brilliant remodelings of guest rooms and suites, gaming areas, as well as the courtyard, pool and spa, and the addition of new amenities. eurekamesquite.com

 

Vegas, Baby?
Since what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—especially at the beach clubs at the Hard Rock Hotel, Mandalay Bay and the MGM Grand—there’s not much to report on. A more “conventional” Vegas lodging experience—if you consider togas and 3,960 rooms conventional—awaits at the venerable Caesar’s Palace, which, in addition to having some of the city’s best restaurants and entertainment, also owns two golf gems—Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson and Cascata in Boulder City. The five-star luxury of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore makes them worth checking out—if not only for the adjacent Wynn Golf Club. Since 2006, The Red Rock Casino has transformed Summerlin into an exciting alternative to The Strip.
