34 Best Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

The Strat is synonymous with the 1,149-foot observation tower that soars over every other building in town, with newly renovated rooms that are downright sumptuous for the price. The tower itself, an iconic part of the Las Vegas skyline, contains one-of-a-kind thrill rides, a fantastic restaurant (Top of the World), and a great bar (108 Drinks)—but notably no hotel rooms. Those are down below, in two hotel towers, in both "standard" and "Elevate" styles, the latter with higher-end amenities and prices, though still a decent value. Restaurants worth exploring: McCall's Heartland Grill, a comfort food palace, and CHI Asian Kitchen. The Swim & Social Pool, on the eighth floor, has cabanas, daybeds, and poolside games.

Whether you call it Treasure Island or TI, what sets this resort apart is a dash of elegance mixed with a decidedly unpretentious vibe and reasonably priced dining options. Whereas other properties boast of a branch of Tiffany's, this one features a CVS and a vaping store (those aren't the only stores, but you get the picture). Whereas others feature sky-high-priced restaurants, Gilley's BBQ anchors 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. Mystère, the Strip's first Cirque du Soleil show, is still going strong here, and the Cove Bar & Arcade is family-friendly, despite the name. T.I. is 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 it being the one guaranteed place to still see Barry Manilow, as well as one-night concert stops by casino favorites such as Air Supply and Cheap Trick. Magician Jen Kramer and tributes to Motown and Elvis 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. But a surprising number of restaurants are still on property, including a rare surviving buffet.

This lavish resort with a Moroccan vibe sits on the shore of Lake Las Vegas and has richly appointed rooms with arched windows that offer sweeping views of the glittering lake and desert. There's even a small beach where soft, white sand is trucked in every summer. A favorite spot on the property is the Arabesque Lounge, a Moroccan-inspired bar and sitting area just off the main lobby. Here bartenders pour the resort's signature rum-and-Tuaca cocktail—named, appropriately, the Casablanca. The G Aveda Spa Lago specializes in massages and facials.
