29 Best Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

The Grande Dame of Strip resorts is still as exquisite as ever, with snazzy rooms full of Italian marble and luxurious fabrics. Elegant, faux Italian provincial furniture surrounds either a single king-size bed or two queen-size beds. If it's pampering you're after, stay in the Spa Tower, which has expansive rooms and suites (with steam showers and soaking tubs), as well as an expanded full-service spa and salon. Bellagio has one of the higher staff-to-guest ratios in town, which results in visibly more solicitous service than you might expect at such an enormous property. In addition to the fountains (and the Chihuly glass flower sculpture in the lobby), marvel at the Mediterranean-infused alfresco pool complex, which comprises five pools, a café, and a pool bar. Book a shaded cabana, which includes lounge chairs and personal bar service, or an open-air daybed. At Bellagio Spa & Salon, traditional massage treatments can be augmented by ashiatsu, in which the therapist uses his or her feet, or watsu, an aquatic treatment. The unisex salon is considered one of Vegas's best.

The story of how Station Casinos came to dominate the Las Vegas "locals casino" scene—and divide that dominance into regions—is exemplified by Boulder Station. It opened in early 1994, cementing what's now the Stations formula with its attached Regal movie theater, Feast Buffet, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, and The Broiler steak house for living-it-up occasions. As with some of its sister properties, the 24-hour coffee shop has been remodeled and given a new name, The Brass Fork. The unintended consequence of that corporate success is that Boulder Station is now extremely local, serving primarily the east side, and unless there's a special concert act at The Railhead music venue, it offers no real reason to cross town for those living closer to other Station properties. Some of the 299 rooms and suites have distant views of the Strip and downtown, and midweek room rates can dip well below $100.

Caesars was one of the first properties in town to create rooms so lavish that guests might actually want to spend time in them, and all come standard with marble bathrooms and sumptuous beds. Deluxe Rooms in the Octavius or Augustus towers are some of the biggest in this part of the Strip. If you're a real big spender, the house-like villas were designed for whales but are open for public bookings; they come with a private elevator, fireplaces, butlers who speak your language and maybe even a baby-grand piano. Another option: rooms in the elegant Nobu Hotel, a Japanese-theme hotel-within-a-hotel. The second floor of the Augustus Tower features Qua Baths & Spa, a 50,000-square-foot space with a laconium room, Roman baths, and an Arctic ice room with falling snow. The lavish Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis, seven pools intertwined with Roman-style gardens and fitness areas and anchored by the Temple pool, is one of the city's best pool complexes. Dogs that weigh 50 pounds or less are welcome in certain rooms.

Downtown's newest big hoo-hah comes from Downtown's newest big pooh-bahs—the brothers Stevens, owners Derek and Greg—and provided a major boost to the Vegas aesthetic when it opened in 2020; it's also the first Downtown hotel built from the ground up since the 1980s. Since Vegas is all about superlatives, Circa is the latest raise in the Vegas hotel poker game, offering 777 rooms in its hotel tower; a two-story casino; a three-story sports book; six bar/lounges; five restaurants; a "stadium-style" six-tier pool, including swim-up bars and a 135-foot-high screen for televised sports events; and a "Garage Mahal" parking structure. The only thing not allowed here (besides kids) is the modest old expression, "Less is More."

The hotel at the "Big Top" has renovated all of its rooms in the last decade, giving some much-needed TLC to some of the oldest ones on the Strip (the resort opened in 1968). Other accommodations on the property range from luxury (in the Skyrise Tower, which includes its own casino) to campsites; the RV Park at Circus Circus, which has a children's play area and pet run, is the only one of its kind on the Strip. One of the hotel's other big draws: it's pet-friendly (with a deposit, of course). In the casino, gaming is nothing if not affordable; in addition to rock-bottom table limits (blackjack as low as $2 a hand!), dealers offer complimentary lessons in blackjack, roulette, and craps. Still, the biggest draw at this hulking resort is the Adventuredome Theme Park, Nevada's largest, featuring more than 25 rides. The Midway at Circus Circus holds a world record as the world's largest permanent circus.

The largest Conrad in the world takes the basic Hilton vibe and enhances it considerably with spacious rooms (in some cases topping out around 1,200 square feet), modern and comfortable furnishings, and huge bathrooms with free-standing tubs.

Lavish accommodations, cavernous bathrooms, and highly personalized service characterize this brand, the most upscale of the three Hilton brands on-site. It offers a spectacular private lobby right off the high-limit room of the casino. Rooms are plush and spacious—up to 7,000 square feet for the suites.

South Beach meets desert Zen at this all-suites tower inside Mandalay Bay. Elaborate wet bars, giant plasma TVs, plush carpeting, and floor-to-ceiling windows make the all-white guest rooms oases in the Nevada desert. In the lobby, rocks and muted tones provide a back-to-nature feel. The property is connected to the rest of Mandalay Bay but also has its own check-in, swank coffee bar, see-and-be-seen lounge, and fantastic restaurant. Guests of Delano enjoy full use of Mandalay Bay's sprawling pool complex and beach, as well as access to Bathhouse Spa and the gym therein. It's all unquestionably high-end, but rates are surprisingly competitive with other leading hotels. And like a growing number of Las Vegas resorts, it accepts pets.

As far as luxury is concerned, Las Vegas simply doesn't get much better than Encore, where all the rooms are suites that measure a minimum of 745 square feet (and a maximum of 5,829). These accommodations come standard with spacious sitting areas, 55-inch televisions, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Bathrooms feature oversized Italian marble tubs, glass-enclosed showers and TVs. Bedside control panels enable guests to operate nearly everything in the room. The entire hotel has a sophisticated look; designer Roger Thomas invested in antiques from all over the world. Another characteristic: sunlight, as most corridors have windows with views of the pools and gardens around the property. Encore Beach Club and XS combine an outdoor pool environment with a sizzling club atmosphere. Todd-Avery Lenahan designed the Moroccan-themed The Spa at Encore; the spa-level juice bar specializes in TB12 Power Smoothies, part of the hotel's partnership with Tom Brady's TB12 Performance and Recovery Fitness Coaching, exclusive to Encore's fitness center.

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 (including GO Pool Dayclub) is still one of the best choices in town, and GO rooms (which run about $50 to $100 more per night than standard rooms), with electronic window treatments and other high-tech touches, are downright stylish. 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 Margaritaville-themed three-level restaurant with six bars and live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays, and The LINQ Promenade—a retail, dining, and entertainment complex—next door.

If peace and quiet are what you're after, this is your spot; with its own ground-level lobby and separate floors, the Four Seasons is cushioned from the general casino ruckus. You have your own health club and spa, your own recreation area, private parking, and an indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge. If you feel the urge to join the Vegas revelry, all of Mandalay Bay Resort's offerings are available to you as well. We love the marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and separate showers, as well as the fabulous views—floor-to-ceiling windows look over the Strip or the Las Vegas Valley (you'll pay a good bit more for a Strip vista). The pampering policy here even extends to the smallest guests: every child will find a stuffed animal and milk and cookies on arrival. In addition to full access to Mandalay Bay's sprawling pools and beach, guests of the Four Seasons have a private pool at their disposal. The quiet lobby library is a great place to relax, too.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The pioneering "locals casino" has anchored Boulder Highway since 1979 as a pure example of the casino as a mall-meets-community-center: locals flock to the movie theater, huge sports book, and sprawling underground bowling center. If you do make a special trip, the distinguishing feature is the Mystic Falls Park, an indoor garden under a beautiful skylight, rimmed by hotel rooms, a bar and patio seating at the Angry Butcher Steakhouse, punctuated by the occasional howls of animatronic animals and periodic synchronized light shows.

Perk or quirk—the South Point houses an equestrian center, a venue that frequently hosts rodeos and other horse-oriented shows. Elsewhere on-site are a 64-lane bowling alley, a 16-screen movie theater, a barbershop, and one of the biggest bingo halls in town. Hotel rooms are modern and welcoming, with flat-screen televisions, couches, and spacious desks. The palm-lined pool area is inviting, too, provided you don't mind low-flying airplanes taking off from nearby Harry Reid International Airport. The sports book packs in big crowds on game days, with more than 300 seats. Visitors also would be wise to capitalize on locals-oriented jackpots and promotions inside the modest poker room (just be sure to sign up for a players card).

Balconies make The Cosmopolitan's rooms stand apart: the vast majority have balconies or terraces, which is a unique feature on the Strip. Rooms feature plush and comfortable couches, coffee-table art books, and a spacious work desk. Many Cosmo rooms also have a mini-refrigerator and a microwave. Bathrooms are enormous, and most feature a soaking tub, a stand-alone shower, and ample counter space. All rooms include technology that allows guests to preset ambience like lighting, music, and temperature, as well as book dining and spa reservations through the TV. Splurge and get a room facing the Bellagio fountains: it's one of the best views on the Strip. One pool on the mezzanine and one on the roof offer different experiences. If you really want to splurge, book a Bungalow, which has butler service and its own plunge pool overlooking Marquee Dayclub. The on-site spa, Sahra Spa & Salon, offers dozens of unique skin and body treatments, including the hammam, where up to three people can choose from among three experiences.

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.

The all-suites Palazzo offers downright huge suites, almost exactly the same as those of the nearby Venetian, as well as nice amenities and a great pool area. Each suite comes standard with a sunken living room, three plasma TVs, a dining area, sectional couch, and desk. Remote-controlled Roman shades and curtains add to the modern conveniences; let the sun in without getting out of bed! Bathrooms are appointed with marble and feature a separate shower and soaking tub. The Palazzo has one of the Strip's largest pool decks, a humongous complex with private whirlpools, statues, and gardens galore, plus food and drink in the Capri Pool Restaurant & Bar. On-site parking sits beneath the casino and is among the most accessible on the Strip.

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. The all-suites property has huge rooms starting at 900 square feet, and all have walk-out balconies, living rooms with convertible sofas, lavishly appointed kitchens with stainless-steel appliances (and optional grocery delivery service), whirlpool tubs, and satellite radios. The top units also have fireplaces and views of the Strip. Additional perks include both indoor and outdoor pools, Stir lounge (with a menu), complimentary valet parking, and the adjacent Well Spa. All told, Platinum offers the style and substance of one of the city's top resorts with highly personalized service.

It's no secret that this theme hotel re-creates Italy's most romantic city with meticulous reproductions of Venetian landmarks, and the large suites aren't too shabby, either. Each 650-square-foot suite offers a sunken living room with a coffee table and convertible sofa, walk-in closets, a separate shower and tub, three flat-screen TVs, an iHome alarm clock, and remote-controlled curtains. The even posher Venezia Tower has a garden, private entrance, fountains, and accommodations large enough for an entire Italian extended family. Canyon Ranch spa features a 40-foot climbing wall and Aquavana thermal suite. On hot summer days, the pool complex is a great place to spend a day. 

Whether you call it Treasure Island or TI, what sets this resort apart is a dash of elegance mixed with a decidedly unpretentious vibe. Whereas other properties boast of a branch of Tiffany's, this one features a $10 & More store with—yup—merchandise starting at $10. Whereas others feature sky-high-priced restaurants, fun eateries such as Señor Frog's and Gilley's BBQ anchor the scene here. This more inviting approach for a modern Strip property is the product of owner Phil Ruffin's plan to make the place more accessible to all. Thankfully, accommodations are still top-notch. Mystere, the Strip's first Cirque du Soleil show, still is going strong here, and the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N interactive exhibit is decidedly kid-friendly. The hotel, now affiliated with the Radisson chain, is connected by a free tram to the Mirage (which will be closed when Mirage closes), though many visitors can walk the distance more quickly. T.I. is also a short walk from The Venetian, Wynn, and Fashion Show Mall.

Convention attendees have loved this hotel's proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center for decades, but converting some of its hotel rooms to time-shares has also helped the hotel stay in the game as the Strip has exploded with bigger and bolder properties. It's an amazing testimony to resilience, and has been renovated extensively since the mid-2010s. Some lean years for the showroom made famous by Elvis robbed the overall property of that certain sizzle; but entertainment has been on the upswing as well, thanks to recurring Barry Manilow dates scheduled throughout 2023 and one-night concert stops by Kool & The Gang and other casino favorites. Magician Jen Kramer and stand-up comedy have lately shared a unique little cabaret venue. The property's real standout attraction now is its Superbook, which pioneered the mission-control-style sports book and continues to set the line for betting action (the giant screens got upgraded during the pandemic). Because the hotel is east of the Strip, west-facing accommodations have great views. A variety of suite options include one- and two-bedroom accommodations with amenities ranging from spa tubs to dining tables and wet bars. Live cooking action at the world's largest and arguably most famous Benihana restaurant has been a consistent novelty amid changes inside and outside this piece of Las Vegas history.

Decorated in soft peach hues blended with splashes of gold and designed to provide an escapist experience, the princely rooms here, averaging a whopping 640 square feet, offer spectacular views through wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows. Rest your head on custom pillow-top beds with 507-thread-count linens and delight in the commissioned artwork. Bedside drapery and climate controls are another nice touch. The super-posh Tower Suites units have use of a separate entrance and registration lobby, separate pool and lanai, free morning coffee and tea and a breakfast credit, and some have opulent amenities such as granite wet bars, separate powder rooms, oversize flat-screen TVs, and walk-in closets. The Spa at Wynn offers dozens of signature treatments and is decorated to evoke the serenity of nightfall. The spa specializes in facials, and therapists incorporate a number of Asian oils and herbs into each experience.
