51 Best Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

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 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.

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 430 square feet and feature a king or queen bed, a flat-screen TV, 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.

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.

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 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.

This low-key property is actually a hotel-condo, with beautiful suites that have efficiency kitchens, pull-out sofas, and lots of extra space. Because the suites are so big, they're perfect for large groups looking to shack up together during the visit to Vegas, and canine family members can be included. Each one has 50-inch digital flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth speaker connectivity, and a media hub with ports for digital cameras, DVD players, and gaming consoles. Bathrooms aren't as spacious as they could be, but the built-in seat in the walk-in shower is a refreshing addition, and Stay Well rooms and suites are available. Because Vdara has a more laid-back vibe than ARIA, the Vdara Pool & Cabanas feels like a private swimming hole. You can order everything from sunscreen to tapas and made-to-order cocktails. This personal attention continues in the two-floor Spa at Vdara, where therapeutic European temperature changes are a specialty. The Vice Versa Patio & Lounge is hip and swanky; some locals actually go out of their way to visit here.

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.

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.
