These Are the Best Las Vegas Hotels

Three outdoor pools, on-site day and nightclub, full-service spa, concert venue, mobile concierge, resort-wide cocktail hour specials at select restaurants

When it comes to a sultry, but fun, atmosphere, nothing quite lives up to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Since opening in 2010, the resort has been favored by well-heeled travelers looking for a good time. One of the biggest selling points for the property are its spacious rooms, many of which are outfitted with private terraces, an unparalleled offering on the Strip.

But beyond the incredible accommodations is its incredible variety of dining options, of which there are more than 30 ranging from the casual Block 16 food hall to ritzier venues like Beauty & Essex; two separate pool decks, one with a calmer vibe while the other can get amped up for partygoers; an on-site Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub; and several entertainment options including a theater and speakeasy tucked behind a barbershop. With so much under one roof, you’ll be hard-pressed to leave this quintessential hotel.

Formerly the iconic Monte Carlo, the property underwent an extensive renovation and opened its doors as the new Park MGM Las Vegas in 2018. Completed in partnership with Sydell Group, the same company behind the luxurious NoMad hotels, the resort has a grown-up vibe with tasteful interiors. Accommodations have a white and forest green color palette and are furnished with sofas by the window and artwork by the French-American studio be-poles.

In your downtime, visit the outdoor pool deck to beat the heat or relax at the full-service spa, complete with a sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi. For dining, there are no shortage of options here, which includes a 40,000-square-foot Eataly, Roy Choi’s Best Friend, and the classic Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar. The hotel is also home to two of Sin City’s best bars: gin-forward Juniper Cocktail Lounge and tequila and mezcal–focused Mama Rabbit.

And if concerts are of interest, there’s a state-of-the-art, 5,200-seat theater that has seen the likes of A-list performers such as Lady Gaga, Queen + Adam Lambert, and Aerosmith.

Outdoor pool, roller coaster, arcade, Stay Well accommodations

Las Vegas is filled with fun, themed resorts, but you’ll only be able to find a twisty roller coaster at New York-New York Hotel & Casino. There’s no doubt that children will scream with excitement when they see the ride, which goes over 67 miles per hour and features a 180-degree twist and 203-foot drop. And while they’ll certainly want to hop on more than once, there’s also the Big Apple Arcade for kids to spend their time playing both classic and current video games as well as a cabana-lined pool to splash around in.

The property also has no shortage of family-friendly dining venues including a pizzeria, a crêperie, and a Shake Shack. Accommodations can be on the smaller side, starting at 350 square feet, but they’re kept clean and there’s the option of queen or king beds.

Award-winning spa, outdoor pool, house car service, bar with views of the Strip

There’s no question that the Waldorf Astoria brand is synonymous with luxury, and it’s no different at their Vegas outpost. The casino-less property is ideal for discerning travelers who aren’t interested in gaming and want to stay in a central location on the Strip. The quiet enclave offers its guests spacious accommodations starting at 506 square feet with spa-like bathrooms complete with both a bathtub and walk-in shower.

For rest and relaxation outside of your own digs, there’s an outdoor pool deck as well as a 27,000-square-foot spa with steam rooms, a sauna, and hammam. For dining, there are five options to choose from, including the 23rd-floor Sky Bar with sweeping views of the city, a tea lounge open Wednesday through Sunday, and a restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Swathed in rich, jewel-tone hues and velvet accents, the NoMad Las Vegas channels old-school luxury with a French flair. The accommodations are elegantly appointed and boast window-side sitting areas, original artwork, a mahogany writing desk, custom furnishings, and freestanding pedestal tubs in most of the suites.

Aside from the comfortable, residential-style rooms, you’ll find a beautiful Morrocan-inspired pool deck; a high-limit room with a Tiffany glass ceiling; and, best of all, the hotel’s signature NoMad restaurant by Daniel Humm and Will Guidara. If you can’t manage to get a reservation, however, there’s always the bar, where you’ll find elevated bites like a black truffle hot dog and well-crafted cocktails that are some of the finest in the city.

Five outdoor pools, on-site day and nightclub, concert venue, mobile concierge

Despite the flashing slot machines and overhead lights, many casinos still feel dark and dreary. But at Resorts World Las Vegas, you’re welcomed into a well-lit space that’s bright and comfortable. The Crockfords Casino & Lounge offers luxurious gaming, including a particularly aesthetically pleasing high limit area decked out in white.

They’ve also infused some technological advancements into their casino unseen in Sin City before now, such as "Smart Table" technology for a cashless experience and dispensing cash-out vouchers at tables instead of queuing at the ticket redemption center.

For guests, there are three hotels to choose from, all under the Hilton brand, that includes the company’s namesake hotel, Conrad, and for ultimate luxury, Crockfords. There is a plethora of dining options, but most notable is its highly anticipated Famous Foods food hall inspired by Singapore’s hawker centers that largely celebrates Pan-Asian cuisine. For entertainment, there’s the Ayu Dayclub, Zouk Nightclub, and a state-of-the-art theater. Guests can also expect a 27,000-square-foot spa alongside the sprawling five-and-a-half-acre pool complex—it's perfect for some relaxation.

Seven outdoor pools, on-site nightclub, Nobu restaurant, concert venue, electric vehicle charging stations

If you’re looking to party it up in true Vegas style, look no further than Caesars Palace. Home to Omnia Nightclub, arguably the finest club in the city, it’s the spot to go in town. Designed by Rockwell Group, the venue’s crown jewel is its 22,000-pound kinetic chandelier. Composed of eight concentric circles laced with thousands of LED strips and lights that are all individually programmable, it puts on some of the most dazzling light shows you could imagine. Pair that up with some of the most sought-after DJs in the world and you’re definitely in for an exhilarating evening.

In addition to Omnia, you’ll also find Absinthe at the resort, a thrilling and comedic show for adults that has been rated the best in Las Vegas. Plus, there’s also the Colosseum theater where Usher had a residency in 2021. For accommodations, rooms range from cozy quarters with modern decor to opulent villas complete with butler service. The property also has an expansive pool deck, a full-service spa, ample shopping, 18 restaurants, and 10 bars and lounges.

Restaurants by acclaimed chefs like Thomas Keller, David Chang, and Wolfgang Puck; award-winning Canyon Ranch spa; 40-foot indoor rock climbing wall; seven outdoor pools; on-site nightclub

There’s no question that Las Vegas is home to some world-class dining, and if you want to stay somewhere that has more options than you could run through in one trip, the Venetian Resort Las Vegas is calling your name. With more than 40 food and beverage options to choose from, you won’t have to eat anywhere twice. Whether you want a quick bite or a fancy sit-down meal, they’ve got you covered.

Standouts include Brera Osteria for Italian, Mott 32 for Chinese fare, and the X Pot for an upscale hot pot experience. There are also several restaurants run by celebrity chefs, including CUT steakhouse by Wolfgang Puck; French bistro Bouchon by Thomas Keller; and David Chang’s Majordōmo Meat & Fish, which also happens to have a secret karaoke room. And for those who enjoy an expertly crafted tipple, the property’s Rosina Cocktail Lounge, the Dorsey Cocktail Bar, and Electra Cocktail Club have extremely talented mixologists ready to meet your requests.

In addition to all of these venues, guests staying at the all-suite property will enjoy spacious accommodations with oversized bathrooms, an expansive oasis with seven outdoor pools, and an award-winning spa and fitness programming by lauded wellness brand Canyon Ranch.
