Top 5 Newest Hotels On The Las Vegas Strip With
1000 + Rooms
|
|
|
|
1
The Cosmopolitan
3708 Las Vegas Blvd
|
Opening on December 15, 2010, with 2995 rooms, it is the newest
hotel and resort in Las Vegas. Originally the Cosmopolitan was going
to be mostly condos but with the real estate market taking such a
bash it made more sense to turn the condos into hotel rooms. So you
will find the rooms are larger than average and are extremely
elegant. The Terrace suites have large balconies and modern cooking
appliances. All have beautiful marble bathrooms with roomy showers.
The brand new furnishings are very tasteful. Cosmopolitan offers a
number of different packages that you might want to check out before
booking your room.
The Boulevard pool is located on the East Deck, overlooking the
Strip. You won’t miss any of the action going on…it is set on
several levels full of lounges, daybeds, and upbeat music. You won’t
want to miss the movies playing, cookouts, and live musical
performances that are held on the pool stage.
There are two other pools available. For a quieter, more private
day, go to the Bamboo pool, which is placed in a wide open
environment with desert landscaping. The Day Club Pool is actually
part of the
Marquee
nightclub. It features infinity pools with cabanas, three-story
bungalows. This pool will debut in the spring. The
Marquee
nightclub had its grand opening on New Years Day 2011. It
features seating around a dance floor focal point, resident DJs, and
live performers. |

The Tropicana is not a new hotel name in Las Vegas, but even though
its been around since 1957 it makes our top 5 due to its $180
million revamp. Today you can truly enjoy a luxury vacation in this
beautifully remodeled and redesigned resort hotel. By April of 2011,
the last phase will be complete, with the opening of Nikki Beach and
Club Nikki.
There are 1880 rooms, newly decorated in the South Beach style, in
light tropical colors. These moderately priced rooms come with flat
screen TVs, iPod docks, and fluffy bedding. Kudos to the hotel for
making them eco-friendly. There is also a luxurious two story suite
that is sure to please even the most seasoned traveler. Service has
always been good at this hotel.
The renovation included redesigning the casino floor as well as the
hotel rooms, convention areas, and restaurants. But the most
dramatic highlights will be noted at the new Club Nikki, which will
lead into the magnificent pool party area. Similar to its sister,
Nikki Beach Miami, it will feature lounge beds, cabanas, dining and
VIP bottle
service. There will also be a new 24hr center bar and
restaurant. Nikki Beach will link the pool to the nightclub. A
number of signature events, pool parties, and nightclub events have
been planned. |

Vdara was the first of the new City Center hotels to open. The 57-story,
1,495-suite luxury property opened its doors on Tuesday, Dec. 1,
2009. City Center is enormous and pricey, though good deals are
available at Vdara if you look for them online.
The new Las Vegas hotel has a number of
different suites, but even the basic,
lowest priced ones have a kitchenette with both refrigerator and two
burner cook top, lots of windows with a beautiful view, and lovely
bathrooms, complete with a soaking tub. At the other end of the
scale, the two story penthouse with two bedrooms adds every amenity
you could possibly desire, including a pull out sofa bed in the
living room, a second bathroom, a washer and dryer, and a private
elevator key.
Vdara Pool & Lounge comes complete with spa, salon, and fitness
center. Enjoy cocktails, gourmet tapas, and appetizers while you
peruse the amazing view. This private retreat has plunge pools that
are somewhat secluded, and spa cabanas that have hand sinks, TV,
music, ceiling fans, and a stocked refrigerator. Have a massage
while you enjoy the peace and tranquility!
You must try the contemporary Mediterranean menu at Silk Road. They
offer breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch. |

Aria
3730
Las Vegas Boulevard
|
Our fourth newest hotel in Las Vegas is Aria. This 4,004 room
resort in City Center opened its doors on December 16, 2009.
Offering both beautiful rooms and suites, all done in elegant
earth tones, you will be amazed at the advanced
technology in play. The Sky Suites have the latest technology that
make it easy for you to set the lighting, music, and temperature to
your comfort level. The windows are floor to ceiling, giving you
panoramic views of the Strip or the mountains. The bathrooms are
what you have come to expect in luxury hotels. And the hotel staff
cleans your room twice a day!
Aria has a great casino with all the tables and slots you would
expect. They also have a poker room with twenty-four tables and a
very comfortable atmosphere. If you don’t want to gamble, go see
Viva Elvis, the newest Cirque du Soleil show in its 1,800 seat
theater.
There are two pools with beautiful landscaping, lounges, and
daybeds. Enjoy a casual meal at the poolside restaurant. The hottest
spot would be the
Liquid Pool Lounge, which is
one of the newest adults only
outdoor pool party playgrounds
in Vegas.
If Aria daylife
isn't enough for you check out one of Las Vegas's newest nightclubs,
Haze. Featuring world renowned DJs, a large dance floor, interactive
projections screens, laser shows, and surprise performances by
well-known artists. |

Encore
3131 S. Las Vegas Blvd
|
Encore is the newest
resort on the strip from Mr. Wynn, from the outside it looks identical to
The Wynn Hotel. Encore opened its doors on
December 22, 2008;
The Wynn Hotel opened a few years earlier on April 22nd, 2005. Between the two of them they hold more five star
awards than any other casino/hotel resort in the world. One of those
stars is for the luxurious, opulent 2,034 suites contained in
Encore.
The casino floor reminds one of the elegant European casinos,
resplendent in rich reds, with wide aisles and beautiful high
ceilings. Le Reve is their permanent spectacular…a Cirque du Soleil
like water show that is somewhat similar to “O”.
For
nightlife at Encore visit
Surrender nightclub
and XS, both
clubs offer the most upscale nightclub entertainment you could hope
to experience anywhere in the world. If your not to partied out the
next day try and get down to the
Encore Beach Club pool party. For an all-inclusive weekend, you cannot beat this
trio…spend the day at the pools on a lounge or day bed, enjoy one of
the many the excellent restaurants, and then
reserve a table at
XS,
Surrender
or Tryst
at The Wynn Hotel. If money is no
concern, dine at Frank
Sinatra, the Italian restaurant that honors his music, and
surrounds you with photos of Ol' Blue Eyes. |

 Las Vegas has seen hotels, like the Fontainebleau (right)—a $2.9 billion
project, sit 90% finished and vacant thanks to bankruptcy. Lack of
funds and investors pulling out of projects has left the public
unsure of the future of Vegas hotels and casinos. Construction is moving forward with future hotels but Instead of building
from the ground up, investors are now looking for ways renovate and
re-invent closed, unfinished, or vacant casinos. For 2013-2014, there are two confirmed new hotels that promise to bring new
vibes to the city of Sin...
Future Hotels in Las Vegas
SLS Las Vegas: This is the first real promise that Las Vegas is
coming back from the slump. One of the biggest names in hotel
luxury—SBE Entertainment Group—has publicly announced its plans to
revitalize the north end of the Strip by creating the luxurious SLS
Las Vegas out of the now-closed Sahara. The SLS will include luxury
restaurants, such as The Bazaar, Katsuya, and Umami, clubs that
rival the hottest on the strip, and a lavish casino that promises to
tempt both local and A-list clientele. The SLS is scheduled to open
early in 2014.
 The Quad Resort and Casino: Like SLS, The Quad is about breathing
new life into an already existing Las Vegas Hotel. Put together by
Caesars Entertainment, The Quad is a complete re-invention of the
current Imperial Palace and once renovated, will be a direct
connection to Linq, the new entertainment and shopping district at
Caesars. Adding a hip nightclub, extra gaming room, and upscale
resort rooms and suites, The Quad is promising to be a modern and
trendy Vegas revitalization. The Quad is scheduled to open in
late 2013. |
