You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

Its vaulted casino ceilings simulate sunny skies above myriad tables and slots, while its high-limit authentic French roulette wheels, sans 0 and 00, slightly improve your odds."

"In-N-Out Burger is a southern California institution, kinda like movie stars, sandy beaches and bad traffic. If you’re an east coaster, stop by In-N-Out Burger at The Linq Promenade and scarf down an iconic “Double-Double” burger or “Animal-Style” fries, free of sand-chaffing and freeway congestion. If you live on the west coast, you’re probably looking for something new. Don’t freak out too much because Jaburritos Sushi Burritos is going to blow you out of the water."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Chinese. For elegant Cantonese in a setting to match, you could do much worse than this Strip staple, which overlooks the Bellagio’s dancing fountains and serves an array of tempting options. Consider Kobe short ribs with pickled mustard greens, imperial Peking duck served in two courses or, for a more lavish dinner, the Jasmine Experience, a five-course tasting with paired wines."
