Offering some of the "best bangs for the bucks" in Vegas, the family-friendly Suncoast Hotel and Casino in the bustling suburb of Summerlin provides complimentary shuttles to the Strip and McCarran International Airport 10 and 13 miles away respectively and to its sister property, the Orleans Hotel and Casino. Families will delight in being so close to a 64-lane, state-of-the-art bowling center, 16-screen movie theater and childcare center. This Las Vegas hotel also is close to first- and second-tier golf courses for serious golfers and plain ol' duffers.

"Las Vegas as it used to be" is the theme of the hotel's 500-seat showroom, a throwback to the showrooms of splendor that made Sin City famous. The 80,000-square-foot casino supplies slots, video poker, blackjack, craps, baccarat, pai gow, roulette, keno, race and sports book, and bingo.

This being Vegas, guests won't starve. In addition to 24-hour room service, they can chose from nine restaurants to satisfy their tastebuds, including the steaks and seafood of Primo's, Italian fare of Via Veneto, Don Miguel's Mexican cuisine and Café Siena's Chinese food.

Guestrooms, exceptionally large by Vegas standards, provide views through full-length windows of the mountains, pool area and golf courses. They include sitting areas, pay movies, large bathrooms and high- speed Internet access.

The Suncoast gets rave reviews from guests, who appreciate the Las Vegas hotel's spacious guest rooms and quieter, scenic location close to everthing synonymous with Sin City.
