It’s no longer possible to pose, as my daughter and I did, on the sweeping staircase that Julia Roberts walked down during the 2001 film Oceans 11. The staircase, in luxury hotel Bellagio on the Las Vegas strip, was removed during a revamp in 2006. But you can still marvel at two thousand hand blown glass flowers on the ceiling, real flower displays in the Conservatory, and the dancing fountains which also feature in the film. We were slumming it at the Venetian, but this hotel, which quite literally dazzles, would be my first choice if money were no object. Imagine, a Bellagio Tower Suite with enough floor space for even my daughter’s strewn junk.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and I stayed in Harrahs Hotel. It's right in the middle of the Strip, has a monorail stop, is cheaper than some of the other hotels nearby yet is still excellent.

Also www.lasvegasculture.co.uk/ is a new site on Vegas and has some good info added daily.

Vegas is a city that runs on tips. It's no different checking into your hotel, where a discreetly placed $20 bill - sandwich it between your photo ID and your credit card- will often earn you an upgrade.

FrontDeskTip.com ranks major Vegas hotels by how likely tipping the check-in clerk is to get you an upgrade, based on users' field reports.
