The Strip
The benchmark for Strip luxury, famous for its 8-acre dancing fountains and the Conservatory's spectacular seasonal botanical displays. Rooms in the Spa Tower are among the most polished in the city, and its restaurant roster — Picasso, Le Cirque, Prime — remains unmatched.

The Strip
Steve Wynn's masterpiece remains the gold standard for Vegas refinement — understated compared to its neighbors, with curved towers, a man-made lake, and interiors that feel genuinely residential. The all-day pool club and Lakeside seafood restaurant are perennial favourites.

The Strip
The hippest address on the Strip, beloved for its terraces (actual outdoor balconies are rare in Vegas), the subterranean Wicked Spoon buffet, and The Henry cocktail bar. Its two towers sit directly above the Bellagio fountains, making corner terrace rooms feel like personal box seats.

The Strip
All-suite luxury on the Strip with a hand-painted ceiling canal, Marcello Mastroianni-style gondoliers, and some of the largest standard rooms in Vegas at 650 sq ft. Canyon Ranch Spa and a stacked dining lineup including Yardbird and Matteo's make it genuinely hard to leave the property.

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.
★ 9.0 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
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.
