13 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
