If you are in Vegas to hit the tables / slots then you are luck because the MGM Grand has a 22 table non-smoking poker room offering tableside food, drinks and massage services!

2. Caesars Palace
Originally built in 1966, this legendary landmark casino continues to re-invent itself year on year, and has now established itself as a haven for gamblers, shoppers, and party-goers with expensive taste! For the utterly extravagant gambler, there is even a themed "Pussycat Dolls" gaming area, where dancers suspended in bronze cages perform to punters relaxing at ground level in leopard-spotted chairs! Caesars Palace is also home to the largest poker room in Vegas which has decor "fit for an art gallery", 29 live tables with unparalleled tableside service, and a special VIP area where high stakes gambling is the norm! It is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment which is due to be completed later in 2009. The newly built, 23 stories high, Octavius Tower will add 665 new rooms to the complex, in addition to an extra 3 swimming pools and a deluxe ballroom facility.

3. The Bellagio Hotel
Immaculate attention to detail is blatant from the moment one walks through the doors of the Bellagio Hotel, a regular winner of the coveted AAA 5 Star Diamond Award Rating. Even before you step into the elegantly decorated floral lobby area, one can sense the sophistication from the famous Fountains at Bellagio as they climb high above ground level, assuming there are no dangerous cross winds! Choose to stay in one of 512 top quality suites in a comprehensive hotel consisting of 3,421 rooms in total. You can choose to dine in any one of 20 critically acclaimed restaurants or dance the night away at either The Bank, or Caramel, nightclubs. If relaxation is what you want in Vegas, then the Bellagio is home to a 65,000 square foot Spa offering numerous types of massage and therapy in over 56 treatment rooms, or you could unwind in one of the nine pools or Jacuzzi's which are set in stunning Mediterranean settings.

4. The Four Seasons Hotel
The Four Seasons Hotel is a unique, tranquil retreat located on the main Boulevard. What makes this hotel so unique is that, while it maintains the glitzy, glamorous traditions Vegas resorts have become renowned for, it is a non-gaming environment (the only hotel on this list which is!). It is well suited to those travellers heading to Vegas for a peaceful relaxation holiday, although should you change your mind, you are never far away from the action. The large, well equipped fitness suite backs on to a lavish pool area where friendly, efficient attendants are always on hand with fresh fruit, sparkling water, and cocktails! A firm favourite for newlyweds!

5. The Venetian
At The Venetian one will find newly refurbished, spacious suites available in a variety of modern and contemporary styles. Suites at the Venetian are, on average, almost twice the size of your typical Vegas room and, with a 24 hour concierge service for all patrons luxury really is on the cards at this resort. The Grand Canal Shoppes offers a truly unique shopping experience, where one can take a ride on an authentic Italian gondola, stroll down the cobblestone walkway running adjacent to a canal which is bordered by high quality jewellers, designer fashion stores and award winning dining facilities.

Can't afford to hit the extravagant "Vegas Strip" Casino's? Well fear not because today there is an abundance of online casinos out there to satisfy your taste for gambling. The thrill of high stakes card games can now be safely experienced from the comfort of your home/office! Online poker sites may be a damn site less glamorous than playing no limit texas holdem poker at one of Caesars' tables, but it is a lot less likely to upset your bank manager!
