DESERT INN HOTEL & CASINO

 

Since it's opening in 1950,  the Desert Inn has defined luxury in Las Vegas. It caters to an upscale crowd and considers itself a resort rather than just a hotel or casino. The fine dining, spa, excellent service, PGA tournament golf course and other amenities make it hard to argue with them. The Desert Inn has long been known as the most glamorous casino is Las Vegas, but the Bellagio might challenge this title. In anticipation of the new super-casino, the Desert Inn renovated their facilities to make it even more elegant. It's interesting to note that this renovation actually reduced the number of rooms in the resort. The Desert Inn would rather sacrifice the quantity of guests to increase the quality of the player. 

       It should come as no surprise that the casino's decor is as elegant as the rest of the resort. The 32,000 square foot casino is not large, but this further adds the air of exclusivity that permeates the resort. Since the Desert Inn caters to high rollers, low limit tables are hard to find, but as a result there are fewer tables and they are well spaced out. There are also not as many slot machines as other casinos. It makes more room for table games and keeps the noise level down.

The rooms are absolutely fabulous. There are numerous levels of luxury and cost, but all are spacious and clean. The Desert Inn has the best bathrooms in Las Vegas. They're smartly  designed in gray and black with double sinks and a separate room for the toilet. 

One of the most famous features of the Desert Inn is it's 18-hole golf course. See golf. It hosts several PGA tournaments and has every amenity available.
