The architecture says that you’ve packed your bags and gone to Morocco, but step into the spacious 85,000-square-foot casino and you know that you’re in Vegas. Everything else about this hotel is big, too—it has 1,720 rooms decorated in a Moroccan motif and a 5,000-square-foot pool with private cabanas and a gazebo-covered spa. Be sure to check out the thrill rides inside the hotel’s NASCAR Cafe and the pictures of celebrities from the 60s, 70s, and 80s in the main lobby.
