         Pack Your Bags: From the Venice Canals to the Eiffel
      Tower, it almost feels as if you can travel all over the world
      on just the four miles that comprise the Las Vegas Strip. Las
      Vegas is the ultimate urban playground. From its plethora of
      famous chef-driven restaurants to its incredible live shows,
      endless casino floors and pumping nightclubs, you are sure
      to find endless entertainment options. And when it comes to
      some of the accommodations in Las Vegas, you are bound
      to feel like a “high roller.”
      Your Road Map To Sin City
         Accommodations. When it comes to deciding where to
      stay when you visit Las Vegas, I can understand the feeling of
      being overwhelmed. The four-mile strip alone has 15 resorts,
      making up a total of more than 62,000 rooms! And each resort
      is unique in its entertainment and dining options. If you are
      a first-time visitor to Vegas, or even if you are a frequent
      visitor, I always recommend choosing a hotel located in the
      center of the strip. This puts you within walking distance of
      most of the can’t-miss attractions.
         When I visited Vegas, I personally stayed at both The
      Cosmopolitan and The Venetian. The Cosmopolitan is one
      of the newer hotels on the strip and caters to a more youthful
      crowd. The casino is constantly buzzing, and with several   Your best choice for orthopaedic
      nightclub options you are sure to find a party at any hour of
      the day if that is your scene. Their iconic Chandelier Bar           and sports medicine care
      is also one of the best and most visually stunning places to
      grab a cocktail. But perhaps the biggest draw at this hotel
      is the fact it is the only one on the strip that offers step-out
      balconies. If you are really looking for a treat, I recommend   Whether you’re a young athlete or young at heart, the orthopaedic
      reserving a fountain view room. Step out onto your private        and sports medicine team at Cleveland Clinic Florida has
      balcony and witness the Bellagio Fountain show right from      you covered. We offer expert diagnosis, innovative treatments,
      the comfort of your room.
         If you are looking for accommodations that offer an             specialized surgery options and personalized therapies.
      authentic Vegas feel, I highly recommend booking a stay at
      The Venetian. USA Today calls it the most romantic hotel in    For every joint, bone and muscle. For local expertise backed by
      all of Las Vegas, and it is not hard to see why. From the grand   a world class hospital. For every care in the world. Trust our
      Italian marble to the gondolas meandering on the canals, it
      feels like a slice of Venice stateside. The Venetian is also      experienced orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists.
      one of the largest hotels on the strip with an abundance of
      restaurants, entertainment, shopping and amenities. You
      could literally spend your whole trip just exploring the               West Palm Beach | Coral Springs | Weston
      property! Every room at The Venetian is a suite, and they
      are certainly some of the largest rooms in Vegas. You can
      choose to stay in their newer, more modern Palazzo Tower
      or in their classically warm and opulent Venetian Tower.

      is a foodie’s paradise. From world-renowned chefs like                      ClevelandClinicFlorida.org/Ortho
      Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller and Wolfgang Puck to the
      extravagant all-you-can-eat buffets Sin City is known for,
      you will certainly not go hungry.

      nachos! It is the perfect casual comfort food to have while

      stocked bar with some great craft beers.
