51 Best Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada

The rooms at the hotel at the \"Big Top\" are periodically renovated, 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, pet run, and seasonal pool and hot tub, is the only one on the Strip. In the casino, gaming is nothing if not affordable; in addition to rock-bottom table limits and 1-cent to 25-dollar slot machines, dealers offer complimentary lessons in blackjack, roulette, and craps. There are even more machines, and an adults-only arcade, in the adjacent Slots-a-Fun. Still, the biggest draw at this hulking resort is the Adventuredome Theme Park, Nevada's largest, featuring more than 25 rides and attractions. The Midway at Circus Circus holds a world record as the world's largest permanent circus.

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.

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. 

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.

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 seven distinct heated pools, private whirlpools and cabanas, plus food and drink in the Capri Pool Restaurant & Bar. 

The Palms is the rare property that appeals to equal mixes of locals and visitors, thanks to its variety of upscale amenities, convenient parking, relative proximity to the Strip, and attractive gaming odds; it also has large, modern, opulent rooms. The Palms is the place where you can spend $175 on a steakhouse's \"seafood tower\" or hit Panda Express at the food court before catching a movie. Despite its wide appeal, it had some pandemic-fueled lean years and emerged from a two-year shutdown under the ownership of the San Manuel tribe. It managed to retain some favorites, including the skyview Vetri Cucina, the Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse, and Mabel's BBQ. The A.Y.C.E (All You Can Eat) Buffet is now the rare buffet in the resort corridor. The rooftop Ghostbar has stunning views of the Strip. The sprawling pool area hosts \"daylife\" events in the spring and summer. The Pearl concert hall books the likes of Elvis Costello and DL Hughley. The property's various classes of suites are far more elaborate (the best, the 10,000-square-foot Sky Villas, feature private hot tubs cantilevered over the edge of the building). The Fantasy Tower has two \"Party Floors,\" which include the Kingpin and Hardwood suites, complete with a bowling alley and basketball court, respectively. For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at the more Palms Place condo tower, which has its own private pool and a separate restaurant.

The three towers that comprise this spacious and well-appointed luxury resort adjacent to the MGM Grand are perhaps most notable for what they lack: a casino. Instead, developers have stockpiled modern junior, one- and two-bedroom suites with amenities such as whirlpool spa tubs, HD flat-screen televisions, two-line telephones, and open-air balconies. Business travelers will appreciate the huge desks and free Wi-Fi. With a secluded, gated entrance, the Signature also offers something even more unusual in Sin City—privacy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
