Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip

The Casino Royale in Las Vegas doesn’t strut or gleam—it grins. Nestled on the Strip like a scrappy street poet between marble giants and neon titans, it leans in close with a raspy laugh and says, “Come on in, sweetheart. We still do it the old way.” It doesn’t pretend to be a palace. It doesn’t need to. It’s the beating, beer-scented heart of Vegas as it once was—louder, cheaper, and a little more alive. There’s no chandelier made of a thousand crystals. There’s no Roman column or faux-Venetian canal. There is, instead, the unmistakable glow of $3 bottles, $5 drafts, the clatter of cheap chips, and the glorious scent of $3 hot dogs cooked just slightly too long. Inside, the ceiling feels low, like a secret. The carpet is loud and unapologetic, a kaleidoscope of colors that seem to whisper of long nights and longer odds. The lighting is dim, not moody but practical—because in Casino Royale, the star is the action, not the ambiance. This is Vegas without the designer heels!

O'Sheas Pub

The littlest casino on the Vegas Strip and home to my favorite Frozen Baileys (this thing is like a Wendy's Frosty drenched in Baileys Irish Cream!)- O’Sheas offers beer pong, a selection of low minimum table games, including blackjack and roulette, allowing guests to test their luck in a more intimate setting compared to the sprawling casinos nearby. The outdoor bar area provides a perfect spot to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the Promenade, with views of the High Roller observation wheel adding to the visual spectacle.

For thrill-seekers, the Fly LINQ Zipline offers an exhilarating ride soaring above the bustling crowds below. The Promenade boasts an eclectic mix of over 35 restaurants and retailers, including popular spots like Brooklyn Bowl, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, In-N-Out Burger along with several food and drink happy hour deals.
