Vegas news: Many Las Vegas resorts are like minicities, and it's easy to get lost. Some resorts, like MGM Grand and the Palms, have PDF maps of their resorts on their Web sites, but you have to search for the links. LVCasinoInfo now has maps for the Strip resorts, as well as maps for many off-Strip properties, like Green Valley Ranch. The maps are available in low and hi-res JPEGs, as well as PDF files.

Each map shows how the resort is laid out and, most importantly for first-timers, where the front desk is. View the different maps at lvcasinoinfo.com.
