Hotels near Harry Reid International - LAS, Las Vegas

Fabulous place to walk around for a few days. We saw a show and also did a Sunset Helicopter trip over grand canyon and the strip, which although expensive, has to be done if you are going to Las Vegas.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Alexis Restaurant at the Paris Hotel & Casino for Thanksgiving Dinner -- 3 course meal for $65/person. The view (although obstructed by the Formula 1 Racing temporary setup) in front of Bellagio Waterfountains was very pleasant to be across the street enjoying the sites and sounds of the Las Vegas Strip. The music and ambiance at Alexis' was just right. Walking the strip is neat, there are some things you notice like, "street performers who bring their children out late at night and are not very well looked after." One man had his son with him on the sidewalk, but the child was tired and so his face was on the ground as he hardly played with a toy truck which was very inappropriate while he sang to audiences for money. Luckily, a woman and a man bought the young child some food and assisted him off the ground to the side and fed him while the man just kept singing like nothing was odd. I was glad someone found that odd because as a mother I wanted to do something for the child too -- I found that awkward and sad, but I suppose not entirely bad. There are many homeless just outside the strip, people living in the gutters, with cats and dogs, women actually who we gave food too on Thanksgiving evening as we walked back to our hotel. It's an interesting city but off the strip there are many poverty stricken sights that you will notice if you open your eyes. Its hard to enjoy luxury (for me) when you know there are people living so poorly just steps away from the glitz and glam. With all the money LV brings in you would think the surrounding areas of the strip would be better enhanced with shelters or support for the poor. Women living in sewage tunnels (literally) just behind Caesars Palace -- not a good look.

On its way to be seedy. I used to travel there often, but hadn't been back since before COVID. In my opinion it is going downhill for the average visitor. Maybe better for the high-end guests that are ushered in by stretch limo and booked in high-end suites. But for those who walk between casinos, a third of the excavators no longer function, sidewalks with trash and trashy people, AND EXPENSIVE. hotels that were mid-range are not very expensive and $60 daily "resort Fees", $50 for parking. Eating and drinking, eleven dollar beers and $15 per glass of wine and $24 burgers. It is difficult to explain but just isn't the same. or have the same spirit. But conventions still bring some crowds but the casinos not full like they were before

I liked the location and scenery. I liked going to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon has was on my bucket list. I didn't like that where we stayed was pet friendly as our daughter in law booked the room. The dog in room next door started barking while we were sleeping the last two days of our stay..

On the first day of the trip, after we checked into the hotel, the children enjoyed the scenery outside the window in the hotel. I cooked a hearty dinner for them to celebrate Thanksgiving. After dinner, the children went to the hotel's outdoor swimming pool to enjoy swimming. The next day, we visited the Las Vegas Strip for a day and watched the free circus show. The children liked it very much. On the third day of the journey, we joined the tour group to visit Bell Valley, Horseshoe Bay and Lake Powell, and gave the children the best geography couse . We all sighed at the magic of nature. On the fourth day of the trip, we bought delicious cookies from the pedestrian street near the hotel and gave them to our friends. We are satisfied with this journey. We will go to LV again

Las Vegas has a lot to offer with all of the casinos, events, shows, shopping, and restaurants for your entertainment needs! Transportation is of the many choosing too i.e., Rideshares (Taxi's Uber/Lift, Buses) and Rental Cars. Parking is free at multiple hotels for the public and for hotel membership levels i.e., MGMs with a Pearl or higher membership.
