I've been visiting Vegas for as long as I can remember, since my childhood in the early 80's. As a teenager, I became fascinated with the history and style of this dynamic city while my peers could never understand what all the fuss was about. Today, I appreciate the city from both a pleasurable standpoint (ultra-lounges and chic boutiques) and a historic understanding of the city's heritage. I enjoy both the classy side of Vegas (Wynn and Bellagio) along with the trashier side (Cheetah's and Liberace). I don't believe that Vegas should define itself as one or the other, but rather celebrate the fact that it offers everything, kinda like having a buffet with both caviar and Rice Krispie Treats.

ShoutOuts
Hi...I'm Steve Wynn and this is my ShoutOut to you. It's the only one I've ever signed my name to...
Your top ten is hi-larious. Thank you!

Fave Joints
Mandalay Bay
It was in the lounge at this hotel where I turned 21, so I'll forever have a soft spot for this place. Other than that, I guess I love the eclectic atmosphere and various themes they offer, kinda like an ultra-chic Disneyland, but without all the evil.
Planet Hollywood
Arabian Nights my ass! If you ask me, combing 80's A-listers, whacked out design, themed rooms, and color changing lights was destined to make this a quintessential Vegas resort. Yes, it's gaudy. Yes, it's over the top. But it's all done in such a high-class way that the overall effect works.
ARIA
I had my doubts, but in the end, I ended up falling in love with this unique place. What I thought would be a dull and pretentious resort ended being whimsical and creative. Although it claims to be themeless, I totally dig what I call EPCOT Center chic!
Hooters
Yes, it's tacky. But it's SUPPOSE to be tacky. No where do the claim to be Bellagio or Encore. If you're gonna go slumming, you could do a lot worse. At least here you'll find a cool pool and the BEST buffalo wings in the world!
Ballys Las Vegas
A solid classic. Probably the most dependable resort on the Strip. Although a good value, it still manages to hold some class. Maybe it's the old-school vibe or the deep swimming pool. Or the supposed haunted areas. Just please Harrah's, DO NOT implode!
Palazzo
Despite having the best parking garage in town, everything about this place sucks ass. The lousy service, horrible games, overpriced food, faux luxury rooms, and total lack of personality make this my least favorite resort. And they have the nerve to call this place 5 star?!?
