"This is the luxury resort that ushered in the new post-Vegas-is-for-families elegance epoch, and it was so successful that many of its attributes can now be found... in every hotel built since." Full review

First-time visitors, ask for a room facing the iconic dancing fountains out front; the view of these is actually better from lower floors.
