23 Best Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

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, Allegiant Stadium, or the Las Vegas Valley (you'll pay a bit more for a Strip vista). The pampering policy here even extends to the smallest guests: every child will find a welcome gift on arrival, games and books to borrow, and even their own toiletries. 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.

The hotel from celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa and partner Robert DeNiro is a sleek foodie haven tucked inside the Caesars Palace complex. The 181-room tower designed by David Rockwell features feng shui spaces and minimalist, natural-hue rooms inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The amenities are all worthy of the celeb owners (and guests), from the Italian linens to the hand-hewn chairs. There are also a host of high-tech touches, like a Nobu app, in-room iPad check-in, and buttonless elevators (they get activated by your key card), plus 55-inch flat-screens with Apple connectivity. Guests also enjoy a dedicated concierge, but the real perks are aimed at the stomach: priority reservations at the Nobu restaurant downstairs (the largest in the world) and an exclusive Nobu-crafted room-service menu.

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."

This upscale, $780 million-dollar project is the next-level vision for Las Vegas casino hotels, especially those away from the Strip, offering rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and bathrooms with oversized showers. Although it was built by Red Rock Resorts—the leader in upscale "locals casinos"—this one breaks the template of older properties and deliberately blurs the lines between amenities for hotel guests and those for local patrons. The casino area is a giant boxed-in rectangle (so much for the deliberately confusing layouts of the old days), surrounded by wide pathways and eateries that take advantage of windows and natural light (as well as their own entries). The Bel-Aire Lounge, for instance, has glass doors that flow into the pool area. The George is another indoor-outdoor space, one in which the sports book with giant screens is blended with a restaurant that is this property's version of the 24-hour coffee shop. Eat Your Heart Out is a "food hall" with theme park-like facades on each outlet and shared tables in the open as well as "indoor" seating inside its Hawaiian, Asian, and pasta shops. The property has been so successful since its late-2023 opening that a $116 million expansion is already underway.

The swanky NoMad hotel chain made its Las Vegas debut with a hotel that comprises the top four floors of Park MGM but with its own check-in area, a separate high-limit casino, and the NoMad Library restaurant and NoMad Bar down below. Upstairs, rooms evoke apartment-style living, some with standalone tubs, wood floors, steamer trunk minibars, separate water closets, and wraparound daybeds. Each room is also decorated differently, featuring original photographs. Attention to detail with customer service is second to none, and managers often research guests before check-in to provide personal attention. There's a private pool deck as well. The Sydell Group, the parent company of NoMad, was instrumental in designing the new vibe for Park MGM as a whole.

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, muted tones provide a sophisticated 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, Rivea. Guests of W enjoy full use of Mandalay Bay's sprawling pool complex and beach, as well as access to the W's 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.

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, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, and The Broiler steak house for living-it-up occasions. The latest additions are Game On, which fuses a sports bar with the 24-hour coffee shop, and a six-outlet food court (replacing a buffet that never reopened after the pandemic). The unintended consequence of Station's corporate success is that Boulder Station is now extremely local, serving primarily the east side, and offering 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.

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. Hotel guests have access to the Awana Spa and Resorts World's sprawling pool complex.

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. Crockfords guests check in at the VIP desk in the Conrad Lobby, and then retreat to a daybed at the resort's pool complex, or indulge in a massage or facial at the Awana Spa.

The "D" may be for eccentric owner Derek Stevens—or perhaps "Downtown"—but the 34-story resort has established itself in recent years as the liveliest of the Downtown hotels. The casino floor even has an obtuse Detroit theme (another possible "D"), with Zingerman's coffee available at the coffee shop on the casino floor. Rooms here are small but modern and functional with bold colors. The modest pool pales in comparison to those at Strip resorts, but the on-site steak house, Andiamo, is a favorite of locals who have traveled downtown for years. Every summer, the hotel sponsors live music concerts on Fremont Street out front.

The venerable Lady Luck, built in 1964, was reimagined as the Downtown Grand in 2013 and is characterized by industrial-chic decor in its public spaces and surprising modern and affordable rooms; it was greatly expanded in 2020, now boasting a "grand" total of 1,124 rooms. A new 495-room tower has added three 1,500-square-foot penthouse suites, as well as 47 studios and 20 one-bedroom suites, among other offerings. Also new is 1,500 square feet of workout space, and rooms equipped with pillowtop mattresses, foam pillows, high thread-count linens, and up to 55-inch flat screen TVs. Regular rooms are small, but much of the time you can score a standard room for half the rack rate. The pool area, the Citrus Grand Pool Deck, spans 35,000 square feet, making it the biggest pool area downtown and one of Las Vegas's best pools. In addition to pools and a grassy lounging area, there are a variety of games for guests to play as they unwind. The hotel is home to a handful of excellent restaurants, including Pizza Rock and the Triple George Grill.

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 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.

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 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.

Everything is intimate at Marriott's nongaming hotel off the Strip on Paradise Road, a favorite of business travelers because of the location right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center. There are "only" 578 rooms and suites in this property, 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 access to the monorail and some room packages offering breakfast at the on-site restaurant Grill 55.

This sprawling resort with spacious rooms just west of the Strip was pioneering in its appeal to locals and visitors but fell on post-pandemic hard times before new owners, Dreamscape Cos., started sinking money into a complete renovation, but room renovations are still ongoing. By the end of 2024, the $350-million refurbishment was evident on the casino floor, with new furniture, carpeting, and wall coverings—even the new Lapa Lounge at the center of it all. The Rio's pioneering buffet became a permanent casualty of the pandemic (as did most Las Vegas buffets), but was replaced by the Canteen Food Hall, with sushi, ramen, and burgers among the choices. The sprawling pool area, another stand-out of the old days, received a complete overhaul as well. And after a five-year absence, the 51st-floor VooDoo Lounge reopened in early 2025. More than half of the rooms had been remodeled by the end of 2024 as well. The standard so-called "suites" don't actually have separate bedrooms, but they're spacious (at least 600 square feet), and higher-end units have double whirlpool tubs, wet bars, and other cushy touches. And the place makes up for its distance to the Strip by having plenty of entertainment options under one roof, including Penn & Teller, a family-friendly, old-school variety revue called Wow!, and a branch of New York's Comedy Cellar.

Minus Michael J. Fox and a weird DeLorean, this resort is as close as you'll get to a Back to the Future experience in Las Vegas, one that literally reinvents a reinvention (in this case the Sahara, whose ill-fated rebranding as the SLS was later rolled back). Zippy recap: the original Sahara, a totem of classic Las Vegas, closed in 2011, then reopened as the SLS in 2014, but never caught the magic of the original, so it was retro-rebranded (with new owners) in 2019. References from the past were both retained (renaming the lounge The Casbar after the original live music venue) and rejected (gone is the original Moroccan decor). The Sahara has pegged its appeal to a more boutique feel rather than a luxury blowout. The rooms are split between three modest-sized towers, and recommended eateries include Bazaar Meats, Bella Italian Soul, and Chickie's & Pete's. A few trendy bars and lounges are available for the undemanding nightlife seeker, and you can top off your Sahara experience with a dip in the rooftop pool—one of three on the property.

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.

The boutique Silverton has long embraced a rustic mountain theme but doubled down after recent major renovations, redoracting rooms with cowboy kitsch or modern rustic style, improving the pool, and proclaiming the property a "Lodge." The $40 million project to freshen the hotel has created rooms that might reflect the home of a cattle baron like John Dutton, with suites designed for working or entertaining, and some adjacent to The Swimmin' Hole pool deck, complete with direct access from the balcony. Speaking of that pool: $10 million was spent to renovate it, adding deluxe cabanas and daybeds, a 32-foot retractable screen and three fire pits—and the pool itself is kept at 86 degrees year-round.

Perk or quirk: the South Point is the only resort in the Las Vegas area with an equestrian center, a venue that hosts rodeos and other horse-oriented shows frequently almost year-round, as well as offering spacious rooms and a great spa. That makes it a big draw for horse-lovers, but it's not all the South Point has to offer. The spa offers 27 treatment rooms and a co-ed wet area, and the hotel has a 64-lane bowling alley, 16-screen movie theater, and one of the biggest bingo halls in town. Large hotel rooms and suites reach up to 2,500 square feet. 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 would be wise to capitalize on locals-oriented jackpots and promotions.

The former Mandarin Oriental was renovated in late 2023 after becoming the Waldorf Astoria, but updates to the luxurious non-casino hotel continue to be introduced. The lobby and front desk, formerly on the 23rd floor, have been moved to the ground floor, making room on the lofty tier for two new lounges—Hard Shake and Peacock Alley, the latter a tea lounge found in other Waldorf locations. Rooms are decorated in soothing neutrals and have floor-to-ceiling windows for expansive views of the Strip and surrounding mountains; amenities include minibars and robes and slippers. Rooms are 500 square feet, and suites range up to the 3,100-square-foot, two-bedroom Presidential Suite (which includes kitchen with butler entrance) on the 20th floor.
