If the slots didn't pay off, this guy will. Art-o-Mat vending machines can be found all around and a couple bucks gets you an original work of art.

Terrace Suite. " />

Warm, welcoming and sophisticated-modern decor in our
Terrace Suite.

Kicking it off hi-lo style with pizza & champagne.

I'm a sucker for an open bathroom and this deep soaking jacuzzi tub seriously delivers.

Despite the fact that most Vegas revelers spend little to no time here, they've done a splendid job with these king-sized comfy beds.

A peek at the 100,000 square foot casino.

A cascade of bling surrounding the Chandelier Bar, which is actually three bars in one, naturally.

Eye catching animated lobby art.

A little touch of NYC and everything you need at this newsstand.

I love that they mixed nostalgic nods to the kitschier, rat packier times in with the modern design.

It was a serene scene when we were there, but The Boulevard Pool goes off at its peak with cookouts, live music and outdoor movies.

Yep, that's a Sex and the City slot.

I see London, I see France...quite the view from our terrace.

The emphasis is less on rolling the dice and more about rolling at your own speed - whether you're there for hard partying, fine dining or extreme pampering, there's something that will reinvent the Vegas experience for everyone.
They're focused on art...from stacks of art books in the rooms to collaborations with the Art Production fund and hosting artists in residence, who can often be observed at work in open studios.
The dining experience at Rose. Rabbit. Lie. (Where else are you going to find a chocolate terrarium on the dessert menu!?) and cool-kid cabaret of Vegas Nocturne is a killer, twisted, hilarious and wildly entertaining experience that's worth the trip alone.
From the dining options to the retail shops and music programming, forward-thinking is a clear part of their mission. Catering to a cooler, stylish crowd makes it a great choice for the younger set who may have otherwise written Vegas off as a fun weekend getaway.
