The Blair House Suites still exists at 344 E Desert Inn Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109.

The land where the Bali Hai was is now part of the Guardian Angel (Roman Catholic) Cathedral, a nice bit of architecture itself. Here’s a picture from the cathedral web site. http://www.lasvegas-diocese.org/parishes_guardian_angel.html

The structure that now stands where the Bali Hai was is not the cathedral itself but a newer outlying building. Here is a paragraph taken from the document “History of the Guardian Angel Cathedral” available as a PDF on the cathedral web site.

*** Update 2014-11-02 ***
I happened to notice the link I gave for the Guardian Angel Cathedral's web site is broken. Here is an updated URL:

The “History of the Guardian Angel Cathedral” document is gone, but there's still some good information and photos.
