My mini-suite had a Japanese soaking tub that overlooked the mountains. This sleek, sexy, and sophisticated hotel is part of the relatively new City Center on the Strip and includes some of the best pools, dining, and bars in the city, including a three-floor chandelier that transforms into a multi-level drinking oasis at night (more on that in a bit.) Even the most basic rooms are generously sized and include see-through shower stalls where you can watch your roommates clean while you nap in bed. You’ll be tempted with low rates, but you truly get what you pay for. WHERE TO STAY: Hands down: stay on the Strip. It is totally doable to do a “quickie” (three days, two nights) Vegas trip from Philly-flights are relatively affordable, and if you catch a morning non-stop flight, you’ll end up having almost the entire first day to explore (Vegas is three hours behind us.) If you’re feeling lucky, here are some of my suggestions to enjoy a fun, fast, and furious Vegas weekend.
