...more extravagant and opulent. One of the must-have features is a posh spa: every Strip hotel has one, such as the 69,000-sq.-ft. Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian, which has a two-story rock-climbing wall. Luxury designer shops, from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Armani and Dior, are so common that they seem practically like Gaps in Vegas. Just down the Strip from the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, which is inside the Venetian, the Bellagio houses another impressive gallery, which showcases works from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

ARod--impossibly talented, good-looking, 6 ft. 3, multilingual, hyperambitious, Armani clad and polished to perfect Jordanesque corporate blandness--is missing the only attribute most loved by kids who buy posters: winning. And if you can't get a ring with George Steinbrenner trying to buy one for you, then all the political skill in the world isn't going to make...
