Location: 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard South (The Strip)

What makes it Special? So they have these so-called “Dealertainers” – dealers who dress up like celebrities (i.e. Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Pink, etc.). It honestly seems like a really…brilliant idea that we wish we had thought of first. This year marks the 10^th anniversary of the Dealertainers at the Quad.

Entertainment Attraction: It’s Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas vs. Recycled Percussion. Vegas’ longest running headliner vs. third-place finishers from America’ Got Talent. Female impersonator vs. hitting buckets with sticks? You should probably just check out both to be safe.

Number of Rooms: 2,543

Overview:

The Quad is one of the more affordable options on the Strip, so it really shouldn’t be too hard to get your money’s worth. Besides, we’re already on board with any place that has a room called the ‘Deluxe Luv Tub’. Sure, it may just have a large oval tub, but the clever name makes it sound that much better.

We like a hotel buffet that will make us feel more important than we’re accustomed to when walking into your everyday, run-of-the-mill buffet. That’s why we really like the name of the Emperor’s Buffet at the Quad, which serves all-you-can-eat brunch every day of the week. Betty’s Diner and Cyber Café has a ring to it that is both comforting and ultramodern. But possibly the greatest name in the history of the Las Vegas hotel industry is Hash House a Go Go.

Hash House a Go Go prides itself on providing “twisted farm food straight from the Indiana heartland”. The restaurant has garnered some celebrity attention from the likes of Rachel Ray and even appeared on the popular Travel Channel show Man vs. Food. With menu items like burgers stuffed with bacon, a 16-inch pancake and a sandwich called the Kokomo, the popularity should come as little surprise.

We couldn’t find a spa in the listings for the Quad, but after our huge pancake we could always hangout by the pool or, even better, check out the auto collection that they have on hand.

There’s not much that can be said about Frank Marino and Recycled Percussion that wasn’t said at the top. So we’ll just let our America’s Got Talent alumni show their stuff in the video below.
