Actress Denise Vasi

Take one look at Denise Vasi and you'll understand why the entertainment industry considered her one of the top women to watch in 2009: It's almost impossible to take your eyes off this Brooklyn beauty.

A model and actress, Vasi appeared as the face of Olay in its spring 2009 advertising campaign and currently plays Randi Morgan on the hit soap opera "All My Children." Nominated for 10 Daytime Emmy Awards, which will be broadcast live on Sunday, June 27, from the Las Vegas Hilton, All My Children is Vasi's first foray into television.

The stylish star recently shared her nominees for Vegas faves with "Las Vegas Magazine."

Convenience: I love that Vegas is just an hour away from L.A. by plane. You literally could wake up bored on a Saturday morning and hop on a last-minute flight. ... Trust me, I've done it.

The Shoppes at The Palazzo: With shops like Barneys, Christian Louboutin, 7 For All Mankind, Victoria's Secret, etc., who needs luggage? Go hands-free!!

The Roller Coaster (New York-New York): I'm a roller coaster freak and a trip to Vegas just isn't complete if I don't find myself on this coaster at least once.

Tao Beach: I love their pool parties and margaritas. It's a great way to kick off a crazy Vegas weekend. If you can, try to spring for a cabana for some personal space.

Oxygen bar (McCarran International Airport): Surefire cure for the "after-Vegas" headache.

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!": I love that cliche. My last Vegas trip with the girls is definitely one for the vaults.

Canyon Ranch SpaClub (The Venetian/The Palazzo): Nothing beats a workout, followed up by a long, luxurious massage, topped off with a healthy lunch. If you can't make it to the gym, still head there for a reflexology massage ... it's a quick fix for dancing in 4-inch (heels) all night long.

Lavo (The Palazzo): Getting prepped for the Emmys means I'm on a strict diet, but as soon as the award show is over, this is where I'll be. The Kobe meatball with ricotta is my favorite dish in all of Vegas right now.
