2000 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Ding-Ding! It's time for a bonus prize to the category with the strongest voter opinion. The Stratosphere received the most votes cast in the Locations category, suggesting it wins by mere definition of its 1,149-foot perch. However, the tower was here last year and didn't win. That honor went to this year's second choice, the Rio's VooDoo Lounge.
Our Pick: VOODOO LOUNGE
Rio
3700 W. Flamingo Road
Flip-flopping the reader and staff picks suggests a two-way competition, but we should note this category first came up before either place was built. Next year we'll likely have a three-way race with the arrival of Paris' half-sized Eiffel Tower, but for now we'll stick with the 41st-floor panorama offered by the Rio's nightclub and restaurant.
