Resorts, Businesses and Activities in this episode...

Today's Las Vegas Inside & Out adventure finds us on Paradise Road, at the Westgate Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. This resort, with its glittering crystal ceiling fixtures and world famous showroom, has a long and successful history in this town! In this video we will swing through its storied past, from The International to the Las Vegas Hilton to the Westgate, and take a look at all it offers today. We take a stroll through the casino, the restaurants, show venues, and retail areas. There's a lot going on here, so join us for what the Westgate is, and what it used to be - and we'll share some of our own personal memories of Liberace shows and Star Trek experiences! :)
