Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Downtown Las Vegas
The grande dame of Fremont Street, boasting the world's largest gold nugget on display and a pool wrapped around a three-story shark tank slide. Far more charming and affordable than Strip equivalents, with a genuine locals-Vegas atmosphere that feels increasingly rare.
Downtown Las Vegas
Built in 1941, El Cortez is the oldest continuously operating hotel-casino in Las Vegas and a genuine piece of American gaming history. The Cabana Suites are a stylish modern addition that preserve the retro spirit while adding proper creature comforts at a price that's almost shockingly low.
The Strip
The newest megaresort on the Strip (opened 2021) houses three distinct hotel brands — Hilton, LXR, and Conrad — within a single campus, letting guests choose their service level while sharing the same world-class pool complex and entertainment roster.
The Strip
The slightly quieter, slightly more grown-up sibling of The Venetian, sharing its canal-and-fresco aesthetic but with a tower that feels more serene. Rooms start at a lavish 720 sq ft and the Canyon Ranch Spa access is shared — making it one of the best-value luxury stays per square foot on the Strip.
Downtown Las Vegas
Downtown's first purpose-built adults-only casino resort since 1980, anchored by a 10-story stadium pool with a 40-foot screen and the legendary Stadium Swim. The owner's deep passion for vintage Vegas history is visible in every detail, from the neon signage to the championship sports book.
The Strip
Las Vegas's most tech-forward resort, with rooms controlled entirely by a tablet and curved floor-to-ceiling windows framing Strip panoramas. The central CityCenter location, three pools, and an art collection featuring Maya Lin and Henry Moore elevate it above typical megaResort fare.
