2 Best Hotels in Center Strip, Las Vegas

Name: Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace
Address: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, Nevada, US
Telephone: 700-727–4923
Price range: $$
Location: Center Strip

The Center Strip is busy, conveniently located, and full of popular hotels and attractions. It stretches from CityCenter (an $8.5-billion city-within-a-city) and Planet Hollywood to The Mirage, including the Waldorf Astoria, The Cosmopolitan, Paris (and its half-size replica of the Eiffel Tower), Bally’s, The Cromwell, Caesars Palace (and the Nobu Hotel), the Flamingo, and Harrah’s along the way. Taken as a group, these properties represent some of the most storied on the Strip (Caesars Palace and the Flamingo) and the newer (The Cromwell).

The Center Strip also can be characterized by shopping. Lots and lots of shopping. The highest of the high-end stores are inside Crystals, the gateway to CityCenter. At Planet Hollywood, reputable brands dominate the Miracle Mile. Stores inside the astonishing Forum Shops, next to Caesars, fall somewhere in between. Outside Bally's, the Grand Bazaar Shops replicates an open-air mall. The Center Strip even is home to one of the largest Walgreens in the world. Another commonality among hotels here: great spas. Treatment options at the Waldorf Astoria, ARIA, The Cosmopolitan, and Caesars Palace could keep visitors busy (or is it relaxed?) for months. Some spas also offer hammams.

Rooms themselves in this area are all over the lot; some, like standard rooms at Bally’s, are affordable and bare-bones; others, such as those inside The Cosmopolitan, with balconies, make all others appear plebeian. It pays to shop around.

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.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas

$$$$ | 3752 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89158, USA

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.
