Best Luxury Hotels in Las Vegas

Award-winning spa, outdoor pools, on-site day and nightclub, high-end dining

Following a multimillion-dollar renovation that was completed in the summer of 2022, the accommodations at the Wynn have undergone a complete refresh, and it shows. The spacious rooms now feature a neutral palette with red accents, a residential feel thanks to bespoke furniture and lighting, and large bathrooms with additional storage space. These retreat-like digs are the perfect place to retire after a busy day, especially if you’ve explored everything this grand property has to offer.

On the grounds, you’ll find two opulent spas, one at the Wynn and the other at the connecting Encore tower, as well as sprawling pool decks that include an adults-only section. Travelers who come to Vegas for retail therapy could spend an entire day jumping from store to store at the property’s three shopping esplanades, while entertainment lovers will have no shortage of options. The resort recently unveiled its new show, Awakening, an awe-inducing production with elaborate costumes and incredible set design. But if you’re more of a party-goer, then Encore Beach Club or XS nightclub will do just the trick. While you’re here, make sure to check out the resort’s many upscale dining options including Delilah, a modern-day supper club with a glamorous aesthetic; Mizumi for Japanese cuisine; SW Steakhouse for certified Kobe wagyu; and Wing Lei, the first Chinese restaurant in North America to have received a Michelin star.

Complimentary transfers between airport and hotel, award-winning spa, outdoor pools, on-site nightclub

For an even more elevated experience at Aria Resort & Casino, it doesn’t get any better than the property’s Sky categories. While the Sky Villas are typically reserved for invited high rollers, the Sky Suites can be booked by any guest. With these accommodations, you’ll receive several benefits, such as chauffeured transfers between the airport and hotel, a lounge with complimentary drinks and snacks throughout the day, first dibs on dinner reservations, and even access to a dedicated pool that’s separate from the rest of the property’s expansive oasis.

When it comes to the extravagant accommodations, you’ll be spoiled with space. Starting from 1,050 square feet, these suites come in either one- or two-bedroom layouts with separate sitting areas, while floor-to-ceiling windows provide impressive vistas of either the Strip or the nearby mountains. Thanks to a recent renovation, these suites now have a lighter color palette of mostly gray and beige that creates an airier ambiance, contemporary furnishings, and a tablet for room controls and more. But arguably the best part is the spa-like bathrooms, where you’ll find a jacuzzi tub and steam showers.

When Resorts World Las Vegas opened in the summer of 2021, it made a splash. The first new build on the Strip in over a decade, it sits on a whopping 88 acres and features three hotels by Hilton. The most luxurious of its offerings are at Crockfords, an LXR Hotels & Resorts property. Accommodations start from 550 square feet and are characterized by contemporary furnishings, spacious white marble bathrooms, and the latest in-room technology. But for those who are searching for the most lavish digs, the multi-bedroom Palaces are unmatched. These extravagant, estate-style suites come with their own pool, a game room, entertainment space, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a karaoke lounge, albeit at a premium. But whichever room category you choose, you’ll enjoy exclusive benefits with your booking that include preferred access to the resort’s various venues and access to a dedicated pool.

Given how much land Resorts World covers, it comes as no surprise that there’s plenty to do while staying here. For those who appreciate a great spa, the property’s Awana Spa is arguably the best in Las Vegas, where you’ll find a wide range of facilities that includes vitality pools, rain showers, and even a sauna that doubles as a show venue on the weekend. Entertainment comes in the form of Zouk Nightclub, the seasonal Ayu Dayclub, and concerts at the state-of-the-art theater. And for those who want to try their luck at the tables, there is plenty to choose from, with a casino that spans more than 117,000 square feet.

Once hunger strikes, there are also plenty of options. For casual dining, Famous Foods Street Eats was inspired by Singapore’s hawker markets and features a variety of stalls, mostly featuring East and Southeast Asian cuisine. But if you’re looking to get dressed up, fine dining standouts include Caviar Bar, plant-based Crossroads Kitchen by Tal Ronnen, and Genting Palace for high-end Chinese fare. If you’re looking to grab a drink, head to Allē Lounge on 66, where your cocktail will come with incredible views of the Strip; Eight Cigar Lounge for a Cuban and whiskey; or Jalisco Underground for an extensive selection of tequila.

With its sultry lighting and towering Chandelier bar, the Cosmopolitan has attracted a well-heeled crowd since opening in 2010. In addition to its sexy vibe, the accommodations are beloved by many visitors, as it’s the only hotel on the Strip that offers rooms with balconies, some of which even have views of the iconic Bellagio fountains. And even though it’s smaller than many of the other resorts, there’s still plenty to do on the property.

At the Cosmopolitan, you’ll find a serene spa and two separate pool decks, one more suited for families, while the other was built with partiers in mind. The latter is transformed into an ice skating rink in the winter, a popular attraction during the holidays. The property also offers a day and nightclub operated by Marquee, occasional concerts at its intimate venue, live entertainment at a speakeasy lounge tucked behind a barbershop, and is also home to Spiegelworld’s OPM show.

Food and beverages run the gamut from casual to fine dining. The resort’s impressive Block 16 Urban Food Hall is home to several popular establishments from around the country, like Hattie B’s Hot Chicken from Nashville, Ghost Donkey from New York City, and District: Donuts.

Located at the center of the Strip, the Bellagio and its accompanying fountains have become some of the destination’s most iconic landmarks since opening in 1998. In addition to the daily water shows, visitors often pop into this five-star resort to admire the Dale Chihuly glass sculpture suspended from the lobby ceiling and the 14,000-square-foot conservatory and botanical garden that changes with the seasons. For guests who are staying at the hotel, you’ll be pleased to find that the main tower’s accommodations recently underwent a renovation and now feature brighter color palettes, updated bathroom vanities, and spacious walk-in showers.

If you’re traveling with kids, the expansive pool deck is beloved by young travelers, while adults will appreciate the full-service spa. As one would expect, most of the restaurants here are on the higher end of the spectrum and many offer views of the fountains. Some of the best options include Wolfgang Puck’s Spago; Picasso, a French restaurant where the walls are adorned with the namesake artist’s masterpieces; and the Mayfair Supper Club, a highly regarded experience that meshes contemporary American cuisine with live entertainment. But if you’re looking for a laid-back brunch spot, the highly popular Sadelle’s Café is touted as one of the best in the city. And for those who like to enjoy a good show while in Vegas, the property is home to Cirque du Soleil’s O.

For those looking to evade the cacophony of casinos, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is a gaming-free property. This quiet retreat offers guests spacious accommodations that start at 500 square feet with floor-to-ceiling windows, neutral color palettes, and spa-like bathrooms with stand-alone tubs. Keep in mind that dining options are scant, but the Tea Lounge and Skybar, both located on the 23rd floor, are popular spots for a drink and light bites while taking in stunning views of the Strip. Once you’re ready to dive back into Sin City, the hotel is right next door to Aria Resort & Casino and has a fairly central location from which you can easily explore Vegas’ other mega resorts.

With that being said, the Waldorf Astoria has rest and relaxation covered, which are best enjoyed at the cabana-lined pool deck or in the luxurious spa where facilities include steam rooms, a sauna, and a hammam.

The very first Nobu hotel in the world, the Las Vegas outpost occupies its own tower within the iconic Caesars Palace. And after a multimillion-dollar refresh completed in January 2022, these modern accommodations are better than ever. The overall design aesthetic is inspired by kintsugi—a Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquerware that’s been mixed with gold—which can be seen in details like the custom carpets and the in-room quartzite coffee tables. But if you’re staying here, odds are you’re a fan of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s namesake restaurants, and there just happens to be one downstairs next to the hotel’s elevator banks. The best part? You’ll receive first dibs on reservations.

In addition to dining at Nobu Restaurant, there are several other celebrity-owned establishments at Caesars Palace, including Bobby Flay’s Amalfi, Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen, and Lisa Vanderpump’s Vanderpump Cocktail Garden. And if you happen to be interested in entertainment and nightlife, Absinthe and Omnia, one of Las Vegas’ premier shows and clubs, respectively, are both at your doorstep.
