The scoop: This much-hyped, $2.4 billion, 47-story beachfront resort has pretty much everything you could want for a relaxing or raucous summer getaway. The indoor and outdoor bars, lounges and clubs offer high-energy music, along with plenty of private nooks for quiet conversation. And, of course, there’s the who-cares-if-it’s-day-or-night casino, with its full array of slots, table games and more.
Amenities: Indoor/outdoor heated pool and a holistic, full-service spa. Fourteen dining “concepts” created by celebrity chefs.
Don’t miss: The $55 Bask Pass, which offers access to the spa’s coed, heated mineral pools, a hammam-style Turkish bath, and the Himalayan salt grotto. Go Belgian with the signature mollusks and beer at chef Robert Wiedmaier’s Mussel Bar.
