TOP 5 Best Las Vegas Hotels

There’s more to the Bellagio than dancing fountains and stunning architecture. Leading the way is O by Cirque du Soleil, where swimmers, divers, and dancers perform on an aquatic stage. You’ll also enjoy a mix of food, entertainment and nightlife at Mayfair Supper Club. Other top restaurants include Michael Mina for seafood, Le Cirque for French and Spago, Lago, Picasso and Prime, which all have Bellagio fountain views. The casino includes high-end luxury shopping and the stunning seasonal floral displays at the Conservatory and Botanical Garden. Order a cocktail at Petrossian Bar, where you can listen to live piano music and watch the crowds go by.

Resorts World is the first new hotel on the Strip, built from the ground up in more than 10 years. It follows a subtle Asian theme with a sleek corridor known as The District for shops and dining. Enjoy dinner at Brezza for Italian, Viva for Mexican or Carversteak for prime steaks. If you prefer a quick bite, order something casual from a counter at Famous Foods Street Eats. Caviar Bar, Wally’s and Alle Lounge on 66 (on the 66th floor of the resort) are the property’s top drink destinations. Party by night at Zouk Nightclub or by day at Ayu Dayclub. The on-site theater hosts regular residencies by Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. The hotel component of the resort is divided between the Hilton, Conrad and Crockfords brands, giving visitors a wide array of luxurious accommodations.

The Venetian remains one of the best overall resorts in Vegas with an image inspired by classic Italian architecture and an “all-suites” mentality to its hotel rooms. Incredible food can be found at Wakuda, Yardbird, Sushi Samba, Mott 32, Estiatorio Milos and steakhouses by both Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse. Tao is an Asian-themed nightclub and restaurant with a newly renovated rooftop dayclub connecting to the resort’s massive pool deck.  Electra, the Dorsey and Rosina are all excellent cocktail lounges and vibrant meet-up spots. The Grand Canal Shoppes sit between the Venetian and Palazzo towers, offering a variety of retail and dining options. The Canyon Ranch Spa is also accessible to guests.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of the most contemporary resorts on the Strip. Never outdated, the rooms are regularly renovated with stylish decor and artwork. The Boulevard Pool has gorgeous views of the Strip while the Chelsea Pool serves as a secluded retreat. Marquee is a nightclub and dayclub with its own pool deck, surrounded by multi-story bungalows. If you’re seeking a stiff drink, the Cosmo has one of the best bar lineups in Vegas. Vesper, Clique, Ghost Donkey and the three-level Chandelier Bar are all great options for craft cocktails. Barbershop is a men’s hair salon and speakeasy all rolled up in one. More entertainment can be found at The Chelsea theater or at OPM, a quirky variety show next to Superfrico. Other top restaurants include Jaleo and é by José Andrés, as well as STK, a lounge-like steakhouse.

The twin resorts of Wynn and Encore are the complete package: luxurious accommodations, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, pool parties – and free parking. XS remains one of the top nightclubs on the Strip, while Encore Beach Club brings DJs and dancing to an expansive pool deck. While others are cutting DJ budgets, Wynn is making sure to keep top headliners like the Chainsmokers and Marshmello in place while hosting the big budget Awakening stage show. Restaurants like SW Steakhouse and Lakeside surround the scenic Lake of Dreams while Mizumi serves up authentic Kobe beef and modern Japanese cuisine. Wynn Plaza sits on the Strip with shopping and Cipriani for Italian dining.
