The Best Luxury Hotels in Las Vegas

If you want the nicest version of a Vegas stay and the budget can reach it, these are the hotels I would put my own money on. All of them I stayed at and reviewed in person.

Ranked roughly by how they scored with me, from the most polished down.

  1. Wynn Las Vegas1
    Wynn Las Vegas10/10Luxury

    The smoothest, most polished stay on the Strip. Everything just works.

    North end of the Strip, across from the Fashion Show Mall, still walkable to center Strip

  2. Encore2
    Encore10/10Luxury

    Wynn's newer sibling with suite-style rooms and one of the best pools in town.

    North end of the Strip, a little farther north than the Wynn, across from Resorts World

  3. The Venetian3
    The Venetian10/10Luxury

    Every room is a huge suite, so it is the best space for your money in the luxury tier.

    Center Strip, walking distance to the Forum Shops and Fashion Show Mall

  4. The Cosmopolitan4
    The Cosmopolitan10/10Luxury

    The coolest, most modern rooms on the Strip, and the terrace suites have real balconies.

    Center Strip, next to the Bellagio and across from the Miracle Mile Shops and Planet Hollywood

  5. Bellagio5
    Bellagio9/10Luxury

    The classic center-Strip luxury pick, with great pools and the fountains out front.

    Center Strip, at the fountains

  6. Aria6
    Aria10/10Luxury

    The best modern big-box luxury hotel, central and full of tech.

    Center Strip, next to the Cosmopolitan and Park MGM, with a tram to the Bellagio and Park MGM

  7. Fontainebleau7
    Fontainebleau10/10Luxury

    The newest luxury tower in town, pristine, if you do not mind the far-north address.

    North end of the Strip, near the Sphere and the Wynn golf course

  8. Caesars Palace8
    Caesars Palace8/10Luxury

    An icon that still delivers, as long as you book a newer tower.
