80 Best Hotels in Nevada, USA

The giant castle is popular with families—child-oriented attractions include the basement arcade (dubbed the Fun Dungeon) and the medieval-theme Tournament of Kings dinner show—but recent makeovers in all of the property's rooms make much of it look more grown-up (though still nondescript). The immense casino floor has lower table minimums than many other casinos on the South Strip, and restaurants such as Dick's Last Resort generally serve food more fit for an indentured servant than a king. The casino also offers free monorail service to Luxor and Mandalay Bay.

This elaborately landscaped, pink, classic-era resort with a 15-acre pool complex (undergoing a major renovation at this writing) is still one of the best choices in town. GO rooms, with electronic window treatments and other high-tech touches, are downright stylish, and Fab Rooms feature vintage Las Vegas artwork. One-bedroom Cosmopolitan Suites are decorated in chocolate browns and hot pinks. Be sure to check out the on-site wildlife area, complete with a koi pond and, naturally, a flamboyance of Chilean flamingos. Two other big attractions: the 7,000-square-foot Pinky's by Vanderpump, and The LINQ Promenade—a retail, dining, and entertainment complex that's next door.

Named after former owner Ben Goffstein's four daughters, the circa-1966 Four Queens is what Vegas regulars would consider an \"oldie but goodie,\" one of the most familiar casinos on Fremont Street. It also happens to be incredibly popular among Hawaiian visitors (largely because of the whole \"queen\" theme). Standard rooms were last remodeled back in 2008, so they're getting a bit stale. Still, for the price, the place is a reliable option. The main attraction at the \"Queens\" is Hugo's Cellar, an old-school steak house with a stellar wine list and carts on which servers make salads and flambé bananas Foster. The casino is pretty neat, too, featuring one of the world's largest slot machines, $3 blackjack, and dealers who look like they've been there forever. Here's a quirk: Four Queens guests have to use Binion's pool, which is down the block.

The Golden Nugget has long reigned as Downtown's top property, since the mid-1970s, evolving with the times but maintaining classic appeal. The resort stands apart from its \"Old Vegas\" neighbors with unique attractions, namely The Tank, a pool with a shark tank and a three-story waterslide (which, incidentally, goes through the shark tank). You can gamble out near the pool, too. The nicest and newest accommodations on the property reside in the modern and sophisticated Rush Tower; beds are plush, and built-in desks easily convert to multimedia stations. Parlor Suites, refreshed to look old again, also are a good value. Casino operators have been known to cycle through new table games, but the popular poker room, which has starred on a number of poker television shows, is likely to last. Another perk: you can bring your dog.

Although the casino here is smaller than some of its Laughlin neighbors, this resort has a more upscale feel and a convenient layout that's easy to navigate. It is home to three chain restaurants, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Claim Jumper, and the popular Saltgrass steak house. The Rush Lounge nightclub is a perennially popular hot spot. The atrium echoes the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip with two cascading waterfalls surrounded by tropical plants from around the world.

Locals have long known that Green Valley is a low-key, refined resort that prefers style over bustle (the Strip is a 15-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, including the new Ortikia Mediterranean Grill, which opened in spring 2024. 

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.

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, though it is no longer a destination property. Mountain Deluxe Tower Rooms are done in cool neutrals, Valley rooms have rain showers, and Cabana rooms have direct access to the pool. The casino floor, however, still has a lot of mirrors—a much less cool throwback to the 1970s. The sportsbook has mobile ordering, with food delivered to your seat. 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 and there are live DJs.

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.

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.

After previous lives as a Ritz-Carlton Lake 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.

Located in the heart of the Strip, Horseshoe, formerly Bally's, is an old-school property with contemporary rooms and suites that is an underrated choice for a Vegas vacation. Rooms are spacious at around 450 square feet, with Penthouse Suites ranging from 2,550 to 3,425 square feet, and some have a decent view of the Fountains at Bellagio. The seasonal Blu Pool has daybeds and cabanas as well as Foosball and cornhole games; it's also one of the few Strip resorts that still has tennis courts, although not as many as it used to have. Out front, check out the open-air mall dubbed the Grand Bazaar Shops.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

One of the newest and largest hotels in Ely, the La Quinta Inn & Suites is a clean, fresh, comfortable stay and offers the dependability of a well-known chain.

The Las Vegas Hilton name, which was once attached to the now-Westgate, returned to Sin City with fanfare when it became one of three hotels in the sprawling Resorts World complex. The 400-square-foot sleek rooms, which are decorated mostly in neutrals, have pops of accent color as well as seating areas for relaxation. Bathrooms have walk-in showers and LED mirrors. Guests use the shared Resorts World pool complex and Awana Spa.

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. District 3 Poolside Cabana rooms have private patios and easy access to Caesars Forum, which is just across the street. 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.

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,\" which creep along and have seen better days. On each floor, open-air hallways overlook the world's largest atrium. Pyramid rooms are large but otherwise nondescript and occasionally in a poor state of repair. 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.

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 spacious race and sports book with mobile gaming technology is 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.

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.

The MGM Grand is one of the largest hotels in the world, with three 30-story towers with rooms and suites 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-bedroom Marquee suites and the two-story Terrace suites, which have 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 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 6.5-acre area features four separate pools, three whirlpools, and a long, lazy river; there's another pool at the resort's Tower 3. In early 2025 the hotel announced a $300-million project to renovate the rooms and suites in the largest main tower, promising \"the flair of the disco era\" by the end of the year.

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, satellite TV with a DVD player and a large selection of DVDs in the main office, 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. 

The mini-Manhattan skyline is one of our favorite parts of the Strip—there are third-size to half-size facades 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 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.

The former Hooters Casino Hotel has become a part of a fast-growing Indian chain, though things look much the same—there 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, it has a  great location across the street from the MGM Grand (just east of and facing its parking garage), though one that's a little more lonesome thanks to the demolition of the Tropicana next door. 

This is where the whole \"locals casinos\" trend began, when a one-time Bingo Palace evolved into Palace Station, now with fully remodeled rooms that, while modern, are still pretty basic and not large. But good luck finding any vestiges of the 1970s and '80s original beyond the basic footprint and The Oyster Bar, a sentimental favorite. Most of the interior has been remodeled to keep Palace Station in line with the newer, more upscale sister properties that the Station Casinos brand has grown into. The original motel rooms were razed to become a casino expansion, which included a new pool area with cabanas. A corner of the property was expanded for two spacious new restaurants and, above them, a nine-screen movie theater with a \"wine and dine while you watch\" concept. Palace now has a balance of casino-operated restaurants (The Brass Fork coffee shop and Charcoal Room steakhouse) and leased-out spaces, including new branches of two local favorites: Lindo Michoacan for Mexican food, and China Mama, which took over the bright, airy space originally given to The Boathouse Asian Eatery. It's next door to Tailgate Social, where the sports bar–themed atmosphere and menu come with sunlight and windows uncommon to a casino. 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.

Life is magnifique at this French-themed hotel, though some find the heavy-handed decor a little busy. Standard rooms have armoires for closets and marble baths with phones and make-up mirrors. West-facing rooms overlook the magnificent fountains and lagoon across the street at Bellagio. The rooms and suites that carry the appellation \"Bordeaux\" have elegant European-style furnishings 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.

The old Monte Carlo Resort went through a remarkable transformation to become Park MGM, the classical marble-and-mirror design giving way to a vibe that is more airy, vibrant, and full of art that reflects nature (or a park); it's centered by a sculpture that looks like tree roots from below. Rooms are functional and streamlined, with European flair and custom touches such as original photographs. The spa offers treatments and classes such as yoga and meditation, and the pool is family-friendly but still sophisticated. Restaurants include Eataly Italian marketplace and the cozy Bavette's Steakhouse. Juniper Cocktail Lounge gives new meaning to the term \"gin joint.\" The 5,000-seat Dolby Live indoor amphitheater has been home to numerous artists' residencies. A free tram connects the resort to CityCenter and Bellagio.

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.
