Cheapo Vegas has a nice sortable hotel/casino table. It lists price range for rooms, swimming pools, buffets, phone numbers, and more.

CaseNet. Lists hotels both alphabetically and by largest to smallest (number of rooms). Excellent, detailed info about each casino, one casino-per-page.

LV Casinos Info. A home-grown site with an impressive amount of info about each strip and downtown casino, including property maps of each casino. (Not maps TO the casino, but maps OF the casino!)

Pet-Friendly Hotels. Lists size requirements and any extra fees for each hotel.

Virtual Tours of the Hotels from Destination360.

The Vegas Strip casinos, from North to South
<<west side of the street	"LVB" is Las Vegas Blvd. South -- the Strip.	east side of the street>>
Stratosphere 2000 LVB (Las Vegas Blvd.)	This is the big tower, which provides the best view of Vegas. There are three super-scary thrill rides at the very top. Best value on the Strip (rooms as low as $35), but in the Hall of Shame at Sweat the Money and listed on Problem Websites.
	Since 1952. Beatles first Vegas show here (1964). Has the north-most monorail station, and a looping roller coaster called Speed.	Sahara 2535 LVB
Circus Circus 2880 LVB	Has an actual circus and a carnival midway with games and rides. Also features a 5-acre theme park (the Adventure Dome) with roller coasters, laser tag, and an IMAX theatre.
Slots-a-Fun 2890 LVB	Casino only; no hotel.
	Rub the butts of the bronze Crazy Girls statues outside for good luck	Riviera 2901 LVB
Treasure Island 3300 LVB	Very popular (and free) pirate battle shows.
		Palazzo 3325 LVB
	"With two historians on retainer, The Venetian takes very seriously the integrity of the resort's architectural authenticity. Look for singing gondoliers, mask makers, glass-blowers, and other artisans in St. Mark's Square." (from the now-defunct Access Las Vegas)	The Venetian 3355 LVB
Mirage 3400 LVB	Popular exploding volcano (free), but being renovated and not spoutin' again until the end of 2008. Tropical rainforest in 100-foot dome. More about the tiger attack on Roy Horn in 2003.
	Features a popular blackjack variant, Blackjack Switch.	Casino Royale 3411 LVB
		Harrah's 3475 LVB
	Chinese theme, sort of. Most of the hotel rooms have balconies -- rare in Vegas. One of the best values on the Strip, after the Stratosphere, Sahara, and Circus Circus.	Imperial Palace 3535 LVB
		O'Sheas 3555 LVB
	One of the oldest hotels on the strip.	The Flamingo 3555 LVB
Caesar's Palace 3570 LVB	Roman theme. Moving statue show at the end of the Forum Shops.
Bellagio 3600 LVB	One of the most luxurious casinos in Vegas, along with The Venetian and the Wynn. The outside water fountain show is a free, must-see attraction.
		Bally's 3645 LVB
	One-third scale Eiffel Tower (50-stories), offers great view of the Strip, though it's not free. Oddly enough, Paris doesn't offer French roulette (single-zero roulette).	Paris 3655 LVB
	Four-story ceiling (highest in Vegas).	Planet Hollywood 3667 LVB
Monte Carlo 3770 LVB	Monaco theme; lots of marble, chandeliered domes, ornate fountains. Single 0 Roulette
New York-NY 3790 LVB	NY theme, done to the hilt. Outside you see skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty. Inside, their roller coaster cars look like yellow taxicabs.
	Movie theme. Free monorail to Bally's & Paris resorts.	MGM Grand 3799 LVB
	Probably the oldest Strip property.	Tropicana 3801 LVB
Excalibur 3850 LVB	Medieval theme; Fantasy Faire midway with rides
Luxor 3900 LVB	This is the Big Black Pyramid That Shoots the White Laser Into the Sky. There's also a huge sphinx out front. But inside, the Luxor has done away with the Egyptian theme.
Mandalay Bay 3950 LVB	Beheaded Lenin statue; imprisoned sharks. Free monorail runs to Luxor and Excalibur.

Reason #2 I like Bodog:

Play for free
with no hassles

Most online casinos annoy the hell out of me. They insult you with popup windows and spam, and do everything they can to separate you from your money. Even if you want to just play with fake money for free, they make you register for an account so they can pester you by email trying to get you to deposit real money.

On the whole Internet, I found exactly one online casino that's different: Bodog. You can play their games for free, with absolutely no hassles. And that's why I promote them exclusively.

Here's what I mean by no hassles:

Completely free. It's not one of those "Buy 1 get 1 free" kind of deals, it's absolutely free. You can click over and start playing with fake money right away, with no cash out of pocket. Here, go ahead and try it.

No registration required. Most casinos let you play for free, but there's a catch: They make you register an account first. That's not just a hassle: after you do so you can expect them to badger you by email trying to get you to deposit real money. But Bodog lets you play right away with no registration required. One click and you're in. Honest. Here, try it.

Plays right in your browser. If you'd rather not download the casino software to your hard disk, you don't have to. The games play right in your web browser. Nice.

Works on Macs. The play-in-browser games are MacOS compatible! Before Bodog, Mac users were pretty much out of luck for gambling online. Not any more.

No popups. I'll never understand why companies think it's a good idea to annoy their visitors, but that's standard practice at most online casinos. Bodog is one of the rare exceptions -- no popups, no popouts, no browser hijacking, just the website with no B.S.

Bottom line: If you want to play for free online, you won't find an easier play to do so than Bodog.

U.S. players should note that it currently takes about six weeks to get a payout by check. Of course, if you just play the free games like I recommend then you won't have to worry about this.
