This week is your last chance to catch the man, the Manilow, in his Ultimate show at the Hilton. Barry Manilow is moving to Paris in the springtime. Paris Las Vegas, that is, with an all-new show of his mostly old hits. Which means you have just three more days to sip a glass of Manilow Merlot at the Ultimate Bar, or buy Barry-branded merch at the Hilton’s Manilow boutique.

Manilow at 66 is a tireless performer, hitting and holding the notes, cheerily joshing himself and his fans—he might just be the most effective mood elevator on the market. And if you’ve never seen him perform in person, be forewarned: A sizable contingent of Manilow’s cult considers him erotic. When a lyric happens to mention touching or being touched, hungry howls go up from the crowd. And when he makes rumpy-pumpy motions, it seems the roof may cave in.
Westgate Las Vegas & Casino As the place where Elvis Presley broke all Vegas show attendance records when it was still called the International Hotel, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is a time capsule of classic Vegas. Its name changed from the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino in early 2012.
While the feeling is traditional, the hotel has recently spent millions in renovations. From the guest rooms to the pool deck, all surfaces were remodeled. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the 74,000 square-foot casino, where there is high limit slots. Just off from the casino, there is the world's largest race and sports book, the SuperBook, featuring 350 seats, 28 giant screens highlighted with a massive 15' x 20' screen for a grand total of more than 60 viewing monitors.
The dining choices at the property range from the award-winning Benihana, a Japanese steakhouse, to The Buffet, where guests can enjoy the wide selection of choices. After dinner, guests can take advantage of the star-studded entertainment. The hotel also makes it convenient to casino-hop as one of the stops on the Las Vegas Monorail. 3000 Paradise Road Las Vegas,
