The following are the most popular casinos in Las Vegas according to Travel & Leisure based on data from Foursquare, a social Internet site, which has over five million check-ins worldwide daily:

• #1 The Cosmopolitan makes an urbane, design forward statement. Its popularity is based in part of its live music, free parties, and movies below the 65 foot digital marquee at the Boulevard Pool.

• #2 MGM Grand Hotel & Casino is the city’s largest casino and is getting a major facelift while preserving some classic elements such as its Sigma Derby, the final remaining mechanical horse racing game on the Strip.
