Las Vegas, Nevada, offers vacation accommodations that draw inspiration from all over the world. From Italian luxury hotels to Egyptian-themed resorts, this city's architecture and decor is inspired by a variety of different cultures. China is no exception, and Las Vegas is home to a number of Asian and Oriental-themed hotels.
Centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip, the Imperial Palace is a Chinese-themed hotel and casino. From the dragons adorning the hotel's entryway to the Shangri-La pool, Chinese furnishings and artwork adorn all public spaces at the Imperial Palace. Guest rooms include Nintendo gaming systems and traditional Asian furnishings, while upgraded suites feature wet bars and over-sized tubs. Other amenities include a jacuzzi near the outdoor swimming pool, a Zen rejuvenation spa, a beauty salon and event facilities. Ginseng 3, specializing in Chinese and Korean cuisine, is just one of the hotel's eight restaurants. In addition, the Imperial Palace's Casino offers a poker room, table games and slot machines.
A 47-story hotel that towers above the Strip, the Mandarin Oriental offers elegant Chinese decor and ambiance. The hotel offers guests professionally-guided Tai Chi classes and a spa that offers treatments from Chinese foot soaks to Oriental salt scrubs and algae wraps. Guest rooms feature contemporary Asian design elements, a valet closet and luxury linens. Upgraded suites offer deluxe amenities such as media rooms and open living spaces. The Mandarin Oriental has two lap pools, a plunge pool, a yoga studio, a full-service business center and conference and banquet facilities. Mozen Bistro has a noodle and sushi bar, and four other restaurants and bars are on the hotel's grounds.
Serving Las Vegas customers since 1999, the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino is not a Chinese-themed hotel, but the decor has a distinct Asian influence. This hotel's oriental inspiration appears in restaurants with Chinese cuisine such as the Shanghai Lilly to the exotic bathtubs at the Bathhouse Spa. Guest rooms offer wet bars, marble and granite accented bathrooms and 42" flat-screen televisions. Suites include spa tubs and views of the Strip. Other amenities at Mandalay Bay are a fitness center, nightly live entertainment, the Shark Reef Aquarium and a 24-hour casino. The hotel is home to more than 20 restaurants, bars and lounges. Shanghai Lilly offers Cantonese and Szechwan cuisine in an upscale dining setting, while the China Grill focuses on Asian food with an American twist.
