Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa & Casino

$$ | 2300 Paseo Verde Pkwy., Henderson, NV, 89052, USA

Locals have long known that Green Valley is a low-key, refined resort that prefers style over bustle (the Strip is a 25-minute drive away). Granted, the casino floor and adjacent shopping plaza known as The District are busy and wide-ranging in their budget appeal, but the atmosphere becomes more quietly upscale and sophisticated in the hotel area and its 8-acre "Backyard" reserved for guests, both offering distant views of the Strip. The sprawling pool area includes The Pond, which offers poolside bottle service, day and night. Upstairs, in the hotel towers, modern and spacious rooms have cherrywood furniture, plush chairs, and beds with down comforters. There's a slew of both fine and casual restaurants and shops. The sports book was renovated in 2016.

Pros

  • Sophisticated casino
  • Proximity to malls that offer great shopping
  • Newer sports book

Cons

  • 25 minutes from the Strip
  • Not much in the immediate area
  • Can be overrun with locals

Harrah's

$ | 2900 S. Casino Dr., Laughlin, NV, 89029, USA

The classiest joint in Laughlin comes with a private sand beach and two casinos, one of which is smoke free. It boasts the 3,000-seat Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater, which has hosted the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Jeff Dunham. The hotel has an adults-only pool and room towers, a World Series of Poker–theme poker room, and a Mexican restaurant from celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

Pros

  • Separate family and adults-only towers and pools
  • Smoking and smoke-free casinos
  • Air-charter flights from all over the country to resort for player card members

Cons

  • Pools can fill up fast
  • Lines can be long for guest services, promotions

Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

$ | 3475 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Old-school Vegas is alive and well at this affordable Center Strip property. The hotel, which opened in 1973, has undergone periodic renovations to keep up with the times; new rooms in the Valley Tower are gray and purple and all sorts of throwback cool. The casino floor, however, still has a lot of mirrors—a much less cool throwback to the 1970s. Newer rooms are spacious and contemporary, with comfy furniture in big, bold colors. The sportsbook has comfy upholstered chairs with cup holders. The pool, though small in comparison with others on the Strip, is relaxing and fun. The most rollicking time is had at Carnaval Court, where bartenders mix drinks with acrobatics and flair.

Pros

  • Throwback vibe with some modern touches
  • Affordable, reliable rooms
  • Ideal location

Cons

  • Zero wow factor
  • Small pool
  • Lots and lots of mirrors

Harrah's Tahoe Hotel/Casino

$ | 15 U.S. 50, Stateline, NV, 89449, USA

The 18-story hotel's major selling point is that every room has two full bathrooms, a boon if you're traveling with family. Upper-floor guest rooms have lake or mountain views. Standard rooms, spacious at about 475 square feet but in need, comment some guests, of a decor update, have coffeemakers, but you'll pay a small fee for a refrigerator. Higher-priced rooms, which benefit from softer hues, come with refrigerators. Among the restaurants, the top-floor Friday's Station Steak & Seafood Grill, with good views from every table, is a standout; there's also a bar on the 18th floor. A tunnel runs under U.S. 50 to Harveys, which, like Harrah's, is now part of the Caesars empire. Cheaper rates are available midweek.

Pros

  • Lake and mountain views from upper-floor rooms
  • Good midweek values
  • Top-floor steak house with good views from all tables

Cons

  • Can get noisy
  • Room decor needs an update
  • Lacks intimacy

Harveys Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel and Casino

$ | 18 U.S. 50, Stateline, NV, 89449, USA

This resort began as a cabin in 1944, and now it's Tahoe's largest casino-hotel, where premium rooms have custom furnishings, oversize marble baths, minibars, and excellent lake views. No rooms have refrigerators (request one if desired), and only some have coffeemakers. The hotel amenities include a full-service spa, a 24-hour business center, a ski shuttle, and plenty of shops. Hell's Kitchen, one of lauded chef Gordon Ramsay's outlets, delights diners seeking fine food with an entertainment connection, as will Wolf by Vanderpump, the new-in-2024 restaurant by Bravo celeb Lisa Vanderpump. For a thick steak, head to the always dependable Sage Room, which opened in the late 1940s on the casino floor and is still going strong in its perch on the 19th floor. Harveys Cabaret is the hotel's showroom. In summer check out the popular outdoor concert series.

Pros

  • Live entertainment
  • On-site restaurants
  • Lake views from upper-floor rooms

Cons

  • Can get loud at night
  • Rates jump on summer weekends
  • Large property

Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa

$$ | 1610 Lake Las Vegas Pkwy., Henderson, NV, 89011, USA

After previous lives as the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas and Ravella, this property was rebranded yet again in 2013, retaining its Mediterranean vibe and resplendent pool complex. There's still a Ponte Vecchio–like wing extending out across the lake. And rooms are just as posh as ever, with luxurious beds and spacious marble bathrooms. Even the restaurant is the same—the upscale Medici Café & Terrace, which looks out on the Florentine Garden. Spa Ravella (yes, it has the old name) provides a number of male-oriented treatment rituals (for the conference set), as well as a host of traditional services and a hydrotherapy program.

Pros

  • Relaxing ambience
  • Complimentary shuttle
  • Golf nearby

Cons

  • Still has a lack of identity
  • Far from Strip
  • Disappointing restaurants

Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

$ | 3645 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Located in the heart of the Strip, Horseshoe, formerly Bally's, is an old-school property with contemporary rooms in its Jubilee Tower that is an underrated choice for a Vegas vacation. Rooms are spacious, and some have a decent view of the Fountains at Bellagio. Out front, check out the open-air mall dubbed the Grand Bazaar Shops. The Horseshoe is one of the few Strip properties that still has tennis courts; it also has a monorail stop at the rear of the property.

Pros

  • Affordable rooms with a perfect Center Strip location
  • Tennis courts
  • Has a monorail stop

Cons

  • Rooms in Indigo tower could use an upgrade
  • Casino floor can get smoky
  • Some readers report poor service

Hotel Nevada

$ | 501 Aultman St., Ely, NV, 89301, USA

One of the oldest hotels in the state, this six-story local landmark dates from 1929 and towers over Ely's historic downtown. The luxury rooms are especially nice, with most named after the celebrities who have allegedly stayed here: Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, President Lyndon Johnson, and others. The hotel has a restaurant and small casino, and leather-clad bikers seem to love the place.

Pros

  • Bursting with historic character
  • In the heart of downtown
  • Updated rooms are light, airy, and comfortable

Cons

  • Can fill up quickly during busy times
  • No pool, hot tub, or gym
  • Older property means small rooms and bathrooms

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino

$$$ | 111 Country Club Dr., Incline Village, NV, 89451, USA

This full-service 26-acre destination resort is undergoing a two-year renovation of its lakeside cottages and main restaurant, with beach access, a significant part of the Hyatt's appeal, unavailable until at least April 2026; that said, accommodations in the green-glass tower and resort facilities elsewhere (several restaurants, heated pool, hot tubs, fitness center, casino, the Stillwater Sap) will remain open. Starting at 400 square feet, the spacious guest quarters, done in light browns and grays, have amenities that include pillow-top mattresses, 65-inch HDTVs, small refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Some king rooms are equipped with sofa beds; most upperfloor rooms have mountain or lake views. The decor in suites, which range from 550 to 896 square feet, is similar, with a bit more color and slightly plusher fabrics.

Pros

  • Luxurious accommodations
  • 20,000-square-foot spa with 16 treatment rooms
  • Low-key casino

Cons

  • Pricey (especially for families)
  • Feels corporate
  • Loss of lake access and some activities until 2026

Jailhouse Motel and Casino

This motel at Ely's main intersection was built near the town's old-time jail; the rooms are assigned cell numbers and there are prison bars around the booths at its fancy steak house. Rooms are basic and clean.

Pros

  • Location in the center of town
  • On-site casino, two restaurants, and a bar
  • Good value

Cons

  • Smoke can waft from the casino adjacent to registration
  • Not as charming as some historic options in the area
  • Rooms are clean but no frills

JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa

$$ | 221 N. Rampart Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 89145, USA

If you have a penchant for pampering and personal service—or if your plans include golfing or hiking—this stunner in Summerlin is for you. The sterling resort overlooks two golf courses, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is only a few miles away. Enormous rooms (starting around 560 square feet) have marble bathrooms with separate whirlpool tubs and raindrop showers. The small, low-key Rampart Casino is popular with locals (and was renovated in 2014). The waterfall pool is a relaxing place for sun and swimming, and at 40,000 square feet, Spa Aquae is one of the biggest and best in town.

Pros

  • Proximity to golf and Red Rock National Conservation Area
  • Terrific spa
  • Large, nice rooms

Cons

  • A bit pricey for a Marriott
  • Casino can fill up quickly during big conferences
  • Far from the Strip

Pros

  • Complimentary hot breakfast
  • Many amenities, including a pool and gym
  • Close to train museum and hospital

Cons

The LINQ Hotel & Casino

$ | 3535 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Rooms in The LINQ (which was briefly known as The Quad after a long stint as Imperial Palace) are small but are regularly renovated with a modern, clean design. The hotel offers self check-in, and has a convenient monorail stop. Some rooms have bunk beds. The Spa at The LINQ offers eucalyptus steam rooms, sauna, and pool. The property's biggest attraction is The LINQ Promenade, a retail, dining, and entertainment district next door, which boasts Brooklyn Bowl and the High Roller (LINQ offers packages that include two High Roller tickets). Be sure to check out O'Sheas, a lively bar and casino within the main LINQ casino floor.

Pros

  • Center Strip location
  • High Roller
  • Hash House A Go Go is a great dining option

Cons

  • No-frills
  • Many have complained that check-in can be very slow
  • The hotel's layout is winding and confusing

Luxor Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

$ | 3900 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89119, USA

Unlike other hotels on the Strip, this one has no elevators, at least in the main pyramid; instead, in order to reach rooms, guests must climb the slanted walls in one of four "inclinators." On each floor, open-air hallways overlook the world's largest atrium. Pyramid rooms are large but otherwise nondescript. One wall slopes because of the building's design—an interesting effect, but it makes these rooms feel cramped. We prefer the twin 22-story towers next door: they're newer and have brighter rooms with large windows, many that offer killer views of the pyramid. Bathrooms are spacious and have separate showers and tubs. Suites in the pyramid have plenty of extra space and deep whirlpool tubs with brilliant views of the skyline. The Luxor has one of the largest pools on the South Strip. For a truly indulgent treat, rent a cabana and receive poolside VIP services such as hand-delivered treats and iced aromatherapy towels.

Pros

  • Decent value
  • Hip casino
  • Expansive pool

Cons

  • Slanted room walls
  • Removed from main Strip action
  • Cheesy decor

M Resort Spa Casino

$ | 12300 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Henderson, NV, 89044, USA

Built by the Marnells, the same family that created the Rio, this resort is 6 miles south of Harry Reid Airport and is a destination unto itself. Sitting at an elevation 400 feet higher than the majority of Strip hotels, the M literally looks down on the rest of Las Vegas. Standard rooms are spacious and modern, with chocolate-brown carpet and dark-wood furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer picture-perfect views of the desert. All rooms come with electronic sensors that dim the lights when guests are absent, to conserve energy. Downstairs, at Spa Mio, the focus is on personal luxury—therapists offer everything from facials to massages and haircuts. Relaxation continues by the pool, which is small but feels ultra-exclusive. The casino, which has windows to let in natural light, hums with excitement—a live-action poker room and spacious race and sports book with mobile gaming technology are among the most popular attractions. Out back, the resort hosts live concerts under the desert night sky. Since the NFL came to Vegas in 2020, the property has also become the "Official Team HQ Hotel" for the Las Vegas Raiders, complete with its own Raiders-themed restaurant.

Pros

  • Huge rooms
  • Convenient yet removed from hubbub
  • Views of Strip

Cons

  • Cab ride to other casinos
  • Planes roaring overhead
  • Location in the middle of nowhere

Main Street Station Casino Brewery Hotel

$ | 200 N. Main St., Las Vegas, NV, 89101, USA

It's worth a visit to this pint-size property for the Victorian-era aesthetics alone, displaying stained glass, marble, and an antiques collection that includes Buffalo Bill Cody's private railcar, a fireplace from Scotland's Preswick Castle, and lamps that graced the streets of 18th-century Brussels. The rooms at Main Street are some of the nicest Downtown, and they're usually available at rock-bottom prices. Guests have access to the pool at the adjacent California Hotel.

Pros

  • Decor and quirky antiques
  • Great value
  • Few restaurant options

MGM Grand Las Vegas

$$ | 3799 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

The MGM Grand is one of the largest hotels in the world, with three 30-story towers with rooms in more than a dozen categories. Standard accommodations are modern with art that evokes a Hollywood theme; Stay Well rooms include an air purification system and dawn-simulator alarm clocks. Further up the line, the various types of suites are more stylish and striking: the best of the bunch are the two-room Marquee suites and the two-story Terrace suites, which have 14-foot vaulted ceilings. At the very high end, the super-posh Skylofts at MGM Grand occupy the hotel's top two floors, and come with a 24-hour personal butler, separate check-in, infinity tub and immersion shower, and even an extensive pillow menu. There are also 29 villas within the Mansion at MGM Grand, the resort's high-roller palace. Overall, few resorts in the world have a bigger pool and sunbathing area; dubbed the Grand Pool Complex, the area features five separate pools, three whirlpools, and a long, lazy river.

Pros

  • Something for everyone
  • Stay Well rooms
  • Fantastic restaurants

Cons

  • Easy to get lost
  • Schlep to parking lot
  • Check-in can have very long lines

Mt. Charleston Lodge and Cabins

$ | 5355 Kyle Canyon Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89124, USA

At the end of Route 157 at 7,717 feet above sea level, you find this lodge on the perch of Kyle Canyon. The two dozen cabins are all separate structures with outside entries and varying layouts, including a "lovebirds" cabin with private mountain views, and a 750-square-foot events cabin for small meetings and/or family retreats. All of them have an outside patio deck, gas fireplace, jetted bathtub, mini-refrigerator, and microwave. In September 2021, the lodge's restaurant burned down in a fire and has yet to be rebuilt. 

Pros

  • Seclusion and spectacular views
  • Trails within walking distance
  • Sledding and sleigh rides available during winter

Cons

  • No cable TV (just DVD players)
  • No Wi-Fi
  • Difficult parking on busy weekends, when it's crowded with hikers and diners

New York–New York Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

$ | 3790 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

The mini-Manhattan skyline is one of our favorite parts of the Strip—there are third-size to half-size re-creations of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Chrysler Building, as well as the New York Public Library, Grand Central Terminal, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Rooms in this sprawling compound are quite a bit larger than typical rooms in the real Gotham, but they're not particularly fancy. Several grades of room are available, and as you pay more, you get plush amenities such as separate sitting areas with sofas, marble bathroom counters, and separate glass showers. Provided it's not a busy time of year, you can request in which tower you'd like your room to be. Also, be warned: the trek from the front desk to some of the towers can feel longer than the New York City Marathon, and the Big Apple roller coaster that loops around the hotel can be intrusively loud if your room is near the tracks. Since New York–New York now frames the south side of the T-Mobile arena, the outdoor plaza connecting the arena to the Strip is a great place to people-watch and enjoy a cold adult beverage while breathing fresh air.

Pros

  • Authentic New York experience
  • Art deco lobby
  • Casino floor center bar

Cons

  • Layout is somewhat confusing
  • Cramped sports book
  • Mediocre pool

Oyo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas

The former Hooters Casino Hotel has become a part of a fast-growing Indian chain, though things look much the samethere is still even a Hooters Restaurant inside. You'll also find what's touted as the largest Steak 'n Shake burger outlet in the country. And of course, the great location across the street from the MGM Grand (just east of and facing its parking garage) and other top-tier resorts remains unchanged.

Pros

  • Location near top-tier resorts
  • Fun pool area
  • Budget-minded in a high-rent district

Palace Station Hotel & Casino

$ | 2411 W. Sahara Ave., Las Vegas, NV, 89102, USA

The Las Vegas success story synonymous with "locals casinos" began humbly with the former Bingo Palace at this location, but it was remodeled in 2018 to keep it in line with its newer, more upscale sister properties. The old motel wings were demolished during the 2018 makeover, which invested $192 million. The changes included a completely new pool area with cabanas, remodeling of its 575 rooms and suites, and a nine-screen movie theater with a "wine and dine while you watch" concept. The pandemic seemed to put a permanent end to the famous Feast Buffet, but the loss is offset by eight (!) other eateries, including the high-profile arrival of the Northern California import Boathouse Asian Eatery and the sports-bar atmosphere of Tailgate Social. One thing that hasn't changed is the easy access of the sports book just inside the west entry, making it easy to participate in the company's famous football contest.

Pros

  • Makeover in 2018
  • Plenty of free parking
  • Amazing choice of good restaurants

Cons

  • Car ride from Strip
  • Smoky, Old-Vegas casino floor
  • Lines or waits for popular eateries

Palms Casino Resort Spa

$$ | 4321 W. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89103, USA

The Palms is the rare property that appeals to equal mixes of locals and visitors, thanks to its variety of upscale amenities, convenient parking, and attractive gaming odds; it also has large, opulent, modern rooms. The Palms is the place where you can spend $175 on a steakhouse's "seafood tower" or hit Panda Express at the food court before catching a movie. Despite its wide appeal, the pandemic was the final straw for a short, challenging ownership by Station Casinos. After sinking millions into a 2019 refurbishment, the company kept the property shuttered for two years while it was sold to the San Manuel tribe. The skyview Vetri Cucina, the Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse, and Mabel's BBQ endured the long closure to reopen with the hotel. The A.Y.C.E (All You Can Eat) Buffet is the rare buffet to reopen after the pandemic. The rooftop Ghostbar has stunning views of the Strip. The Pearl concert hall is back in business with the likes of Iggy Pop and Kenny Loggins. The property's various classes of suites are far more elaborate (the best, the 10,000-square-foot Sky Villas, feature private hot tubs cantilevered over the edge of the building). The Fantasy Tower has two "Party Floors," which include the Kingpin and Hardwood suites, complete with a bowling alley and basketball court, respectively. For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place (included as part of the sale), which has a private pool and a separate restaurant.

Pros

  • Upscale restaurants from Marc Vetri and Michael Symon
  • Keeping the buffet alive
  • Free, plentiful parking

Cons

  • It's taxi-distance from the Strip
  • Players club doesn't connect with any other Las Vegas properties
  • Occasional clash between high- and low-end offerings

Paris Las Vegas

$$ | 3655 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Life is magnifique at this French-themed hotel, but some find the heavy-handed decor a little busy. Standard rooms have armoires for closets and marble baths with separate tubs and showers. West-facing rooms overlook the magnificent fountains and lagoon across the street at Bellagio. The rooms, and suites, which carry the appellation "Burgundy," have large-screen plasma TVs and custom-designed furniture with French-inspired decorative elements and artwork. Suites boast not only more space but also vibrant blue, brown, and white accents and rich fabrics. Downstairs dining options include Gordon Ramsay's steak house and Mon Ami Gabi bistro. The octagonal Pool Á Paris Las Vegas, on the rooftop just below the Eiffel Tower replica, is a great place to spend the afternoon.

Pros

Cons

Park MGM Las Vegas

$ | 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Monte Carlo Resort went through a remarkable transformation to become Park MGM: The marble-and-mirror lobby design has given way to a vibe that is more airy, vibrant, and full of art (including a sculpture that looks like the roots of a tree from below). Upstairs, rooms got a total refresh too: they're now ultrafunctional with cubby-style headboards, sofa-length day beds, and original photographs on the walls. The spa offers a host of fitness classes such as yoga and meditation, and the new pool is family-friendly but still sophisticated. There are new restaurants (including an Eataly Italian marketplace) and a great craft cocktail lounge called Juniper. The 5,000-seat Dolby Live indoor amphitheater has been home to numerous artists' residencies. A tram connects the resort to City Center and Bellagio.

Pros

  • New design emphasizes the outdoors
  • Small but nice and relaxing rooms
  • Proximity to T-Mobile Arena

Cons

  • Taxi entrance not close to main entrance
  • Small pool area
  • Busy on game days at arena next door

Peppermill Reno

A few miles removed from downtown's flashy main drag, this property set a high standard for luxury in Reno, especially in the Tuscany Tower, whose 600 baroque suites have plush king-size beds, marble bathrooms, and European soaking tubs. The serviceable dining options include Oceano, an over-the-top seafood restaurant that feels like you're eating inside an aquarium; and Romanza Ristorante Italiano, with elegant china place settings and a planetarium-like star show.

Pros

  • Luxurious rooms
  • Casino decor
  • Good coffee shop

Cons

  • Deluge of neon may be off-putting to some
  • Enormous size
  • Mostly expensive dining

Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino

$$ | 3667 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

Everything at Planet Hollywood is designed to make ordinary people feel like stars, and the spacious rooms are no exception. Who can resist a room branded "ultra hip"? They start at 450 square feet and feature a king or queen bed, a flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, plush chairs, and mini-refrigerators. On higher floors, some of the hotel's pricier Ultra Panorama Suites feature 180-degree views of the Strip and oversized soaking tubs. The adjacent Elara offers 1,201 apartment-like rooms and a separate pool. Planet Hollywood's main attraction has become the Mindfreak residency show from Criss Angel. Reflections The Spa still has traces of its original Arabian theme (from when the property was The Aladdin), and offers massages, whirlpools, and saunas, and female guests rave about the nail salon. The Miracle Mile Shops is one of the Strip's best on-site resort malls, with more than 150 stores.

Pros

  • Classic Hollywood vibe
  • Incredible views
  • Posh suites

Cons

  • Relatively small casino
  • In-room bath products are nothing special
  • Extremely noisy at times

The Platinum Hotel and Spa

$$ | 211 E. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89169, USA

This swank, nongaming condo-hotel has become a fashionable hideaway for Vegas regulars who prefer top-notch amenities but don't need to stay on the Strip.

All told, Platinum offers the style and substance of one of the city's top resorts with highly personalized service.

Prospector Hotel & Gambling Hall

$ | 1501 E. Aultman St., Ely, NV, 89301, USA

One of the best bets in town, this comfortable hotel walks the line between classy and delightfully kitschy, with Western-theme rooms, on-site gambling, a pool, and a tasty Mexican restaurant. The lobby is fun and welcoming, with cowboy art and antiques on display. Be sure to take one of their signature rubber duckies from your room.

Pros

  • A good value, with quality that far surpasses many other local options
  • Inviting, modern rooms
  • Friendly staff

Cons

  • Can book up quickly
  • Not walking distance to downtown
  • Having an in-house casino does not appeal to everyone

Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa

$ | 11011 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 89135, USA

Way out on the western edge of the Las Vegas suburbs, this swanky golden-age Vegas property looks out on the ocher-red Spring Mountains, just a stone's throw from Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Inside, dozens of crystal chandeliers contrast with earthy sandstone walls and teak-marble floors. Rooms upstairs are among the nicest in all of Vegas, mixing modern touches such as mini-sculptures and USB ports with traditional elements such as couches. Suites take accommodations to another level, with pool tables and private patios (some even with private pools). Red Rock has a large public pool area, a 16-screen movie theater, a bowling alley, a vast selection of excellent restaurants (some with outdoor patios), and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. Even the gaming area is exquisite; the sports book has its own VIP area and three video walls that can combine into one huge screen. There's also a poker room. Factor in the live music in the hopping Rocks Lounge, occasional ticketed concerts in the backyard pool area and walking distance to baseball and other attractions in the Downtown Summerlin shopping district, and you can see why a lot of repeat visitors decide to skip the Strip.

Pros

  • Bowling alley and movie theater on-site
  • Nice, expansive pool area
  • Proximity to Red Rock Canyon

Cons

  • Waitress service in gaming areas can be slow
  • Long distance from Strip
  • Summertime concerts by pool bring crowds

Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel

$$ | 3400 Paradise Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89169, USA

Everything is intimate at this nongaming hotel off the Strip on Paradise Road, a favorite of business travelers because it's located right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center. There are "only" 578 rooms and suites in this property run by Marriott, and most of them are smaller than the standard accommodations on the Strip. Bathrooms are diminutive, too, but do come with separate tubs and glass shower stalls. Even the pool is small. The property lacks a casino but has everything to suit a convention visitor's needs, including the ENVY Steakhouse and a 24-hour fitness center.

Pros

  • ENVY steak house
  • Fresh, stylish rooms
  • No casino

Cons

  • Rooms a bit small
  • Pool can get overcrowded
  • Geared more to business travelers than vacationers
