No more $10 dollar roulette single zero? Awww shucks.
Used to be if you were going to the "Top of the World Bar", they escorted you up in the VIP elevator, and there was no charge for the tower admission. Drinks were on the pricey side, but very liberal with the quantities of your choice of alcoholic beverage.
The view is nothing short of amazing on a hot summer night. Talk your camera!
Lunch was the best option, again no tower charge, at least for guests, as we were. I ordered the Ahi Tuna, and it was sushi grade and cooked to perfection. It was one of the best meals I've ever had in Las Vegas, lunch or dinner. The service was bar none!
Used to be a $10 dollar burger special for lunch up there, not on the menu but there is a poster of it along the corridor to the buffet, and in the elevator advertising it.
The old World Tower pool was Topless, and not "Family Oriented" as the review states, unless that's changed. Was a $10 cover for guys, regardless of guest status.
The regular pool facility (7th floor) is and had a DJ in the evening during the summer months, blaring out hip hop. Not my bag, but it wasn't too annoyingly loud at the other end.
The luke warm jacuzzi was packed with little kids, as the age restriction is not enforced. If it's yellow, let it mellow. The pool tasted like salt since they haven't changed the water since Christ was a carpenter.
The Tower is the main draw for me.
The gambling is average.
Check vpFREE2 for VP options. There are a few tolerable options there.
