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.

...Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian, which has a two-story rock-climbing wall. Vegas dining has become so high-end, with restaurants run by chefs such as Alain Ducasse, Wolfgang Puck and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, that it employs more master sommeliers than any other U.S. city.
