Q: My husband and I will be in Las Vegas on business and would prefer to stay at a hotel without a casino. We are not looking for a budget or limited-services hotel, just one that does not offer gambling. - Mercia Carol
A: Although the city is built on gambling and it is hard not to get swept up in the casino buzz, there are a number of good hotels that do not have a casino attached. My first choice would be the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas (www.ritzcarlton.com), located 28kms from the Strip. This luxurious Tuscan-inspired resort offers a sparkling lakeside setting, white sand beaches and access to two great golf courses. If you can't get in there, try the Loews Lake Las Vegas (www.loewshotels.com), a 21-acre lakefront property offering splendid suites and casitas. A great choice closer to shows and shopping is the Four Seasons Las Vegas (www.fourseasons.com), which is located next to the Mandalay Bay resort at the southern end of the Strip. Tucked away behind lovely gardens, the hotel exudes the usual Four Seasons class and offers a wide array of treatments in its excellent spa. For a family-friendly resort, head for the Hilton Grand Vacations Club (www.hilton.com), which offers great value in large rooms with kitchenettes. If you like a smoke-free environment, the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel (www.renaissancelasvegas.com) is adjacent to the convention centre and only a few blocks from the famous Strip. The hotel is a calm oasis and the biggest of the non-casino hotels in the city which has a smoke-free policy. Another hotel which bans smoking on its gambling-free premises is the Platinum Hotel (www.theplatinumhotel.com). All suites in the hotel have kitchens, outdoor patios and whirlpool tubs.
