As the place where the Elvis Presley broke all Vegas show attendance records when it was still called the International Hotel, The Las Vegas Hilton is a time capsule of classic Vegas.

While the feeling is traditional, the hotel has recently gone through renovations. From the front desk to the guest rooms, all surfaces were remodeled. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the 74,000 square-foot casino, where there is glass-encased high limit table room with high limit slots. Just off from the casino, there is a one of the largest sports book on the Strip with 400 seats, 42 televisions and 30 big screens.

The dining choices at the Las Vegas Hilton 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 at Hilton, with Barry Manilow at the Hilton Theater or a variety show with Las Vegas favorites, the Scintas. The Hilton also makes it convenient to casino-hop as one of the stops on the Las Vegas Monorail.
