The new plans include a nearly 27,000-square-foot arcade that will include 600 to 700 pinball machines – up from the 250 found in the previous museum. Once the new location opens in a year or so, make sure to tap into your inner gamer with the large selection of vintage pinball machines."

Crammed inside the unique museum are around four hundred pinball games for you to play with the earliest ones dating to the 1940s."

"The Pinball Hall of Fame is an effort by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the focus, as this was the 'heyday' of pinball."

"The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is easily a top candidate for the most photographed spot in Las Vegas. It’s also one of the best free attractions on the Strip. On display in the hotel lobby, the exhibits change every few months based on the season (like autumn and spring), holidays (like Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving) or whatever seems to be a compelling visual (a Japanese tea garden and “Under the Sea” were recent favorites)."

"Before the Bellagio, not many people in Las Vegas knew what a conservatory was.

Rooms have grandiose Versailles-inspired decor, while flamboyant suites come with whirlpool tubs, chandeliers or even a baby grand piano."

"Dinner on the patio at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas is obligatory. This quaint French café serves up damn-fine meals and offers an incredible dining experience. As you’re sipping on bubbly and replenishing your energy reserves, turn your attention to stage west, a.k.a.The Bellagio Fountains. Performing their water ballet every 15 minutes from 8 p.m."

"Located on the Strip, Paris Las Vegas is one of the most easily recognized resorts in the city.

"Stop at Vegas Vickie’s at Circa to at least watch the iconic neon sign of a cowgirl kick her leg. The vintage bar offers prime views of the three-story sign that was restored. Try a Leg Kick with Jameson Caskmates IPA, strawberry ysyrump, and lemon juice, or an Up All Niight with Absolut Vanilla, Kahula, espresso and Abbsinthe."

"The posh new Red Plate at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas brings upscale Chinese dining to the resort.

Starting dishes include a King Crab spring roll, crispy tofu with fried garlic or abalone in cold sake."
