The 21 best hotels in Las Vegas, for a once-in-a-lifetime trip

Created in 2020, this Downtown Vegas casino hotel offers a slightly pared-back approach to the pure Vegas experience you’ll find at most of the large hotels in this area of town. Don’t let that make you think it’s in anyway a quiet or a docile place to stay at, or that there isn’t much going on here. This place has got you covered for entertainment, recreation and relaxation - plus a whole lot of eating and drinking - but it adopts a less full-on persona (more baseball caps and a cold bottle than a sequinned dress with thigh-high boots, if you get where we’re coming from).

We view that approach as representing a big tick in the ‘pros’ column for this place. You’ll get to be right in the heart of so much of the action, while also feeling able to relax and be yourself when in the hotel. Its other big selling points will probably speak loudest to sports fans. The resort includes the massive three-storey Sportsbook, which doubles as the world’s largest sports betting experience. Even if you’re not there to put your money where your mouth is, it’s still worth a visit just to enjoy watching your team with a group of friends in one of the private boxes or to get a look at those huge, huge screens.

Their Stadium Swim also continues the sports theme, while the array of dining options includes all-win options like mouthwatering deli sandwiches, half pound Victory Burgers and Carolina-inspired BBQ dishes. When you feel in the mood for something a little bit more high-end, head upwards to the Legacy Club for rooftop cocktails and get your fill of those views.

Where is it? Fremont Street, Downtown Vegas, right between the Neon Museum and DISCOVERY Children’s Museum.
Which room? If you’re splashing out then the Circa Suites can host four adults comfortably (one double bed, one pull-out sofa). Plus there's a very glitz bar which should get good use. If you’re on a budget then the singles are still spacious, and fixtures and fittings of exceptional quality.
Time Out tip: Explore Freemont Street because there’s a lot going on, from free gigs to awesome bars. Remember your ID whenever you leave the property – you’ll need it to get back in
Address: 8 Fremont Street
Price: Starting at $119.00 per night

Welcome to Vegas done the seriously classy way. This mega hotel is right on the Strip, but it shirks the in-your-face vibe of other hotels and instead delivers big on a combination of elegance, sophistication and traditional hospitality principles. It opened in 2021 and is part of the Resorts World complex which, along with Crockfords, also houses a Conrad and a Hilton hotel. Of the three, Crockfords is by far the most high-end. 

Guests can opt for a room, a suite, a villa or a ‘palace’, all of which trend on a sleek but sophisticated vibe. The majority also have views out across the Strip - to help you really soak up the local ambiance - but don’t dismiss the idea of booking a ‘city view’ room. The light-dotted panorama seen through the window is really something to behold.

Eateries-wise, there’s plenty (as an understatement) to keep alive the feeling of pure decadence. For a special date night, consider sharing seafood cooked by a Michelin-starred chef at Aqua or getting a taste of old school Chinese cuisine at the vintage-inspired Genting Parlour. There are also some quirkier options including Copper Sun which uses the traditions of Inner Mongolian cookery and the poolside Agave, where you can grab seafood tacos and cocktails.

Another reason to book? The Awana Spa is a haven of indulgence and wellness, with a focus on both European and Asian-influenced treatments. They also have a network of six vitality pools called ‘the fountain of youth’ because… why not?

Where is it? Resorts World Avenue, on the Las Vegas Strip.
Which room? The West Four-Bedroom Penthouse Suite is one of the most desired at Crockfords, although the King Suites are just as gorgeous. Plus they offer accessibility options if you need any extra assistance.
Time Out tip: Check out the convenience of the resort's premier dining and gaming offerings and discover entertainment on your – literal – doorstep.
Address: 33 Resorts World Avenue.
Price: Average rate of $241 per night
Closest Transport Link: Monorail: Las Vegas Convention Center Station or Westgate Station.

Looking for a five-star hotel with access to hiking and cycling routes, as well as the usual Vegas suspects like casinos and spas? Welcome to the Green Valley Ranch Resort in – you guessed it – Green Valley Ranch. Located just 15 minutes away from the Strip, you've got the perfect balance of a secluded vacay retreat and getting the party started. Which means that, while the price is on the high end, it's worth it for essentially two holidays for one.

When not doing ‘All that Vegas Stuff - and, just to be clear, you’re very close to all that when you want to be - you can enjoy a slower pace of life with time spent lazing around the resort pool, visiting the spa for a Lancer caviar lime facial or just booking into the salon to get your nails done. Along with the main resort pool, there’s also ‘The pond’ which sounds a little bit more homespun than the reality of this more intimate but very luxurious pool on the Opium Deck allows for.

It’s also well worth noting that this place caters well to families, with the huge ‘Kids Quest’ complex offers drop-in childcare (with some seriously cool entertainment options) for children aged 30month to 12 years. This means they get to have a Vegas experience that’s entirely catered to their tastes, while you get some reliable time off to yourselves.

This place can also boast a superb range of dining options, ranging from the classic Steak House (sometimes, it’s the only way to go), to a sunshine-filled Italian restaurant and a very fun Mexican eatery. We also love the sweet (in every sense) Bake Shop selling ridiculously creative cakes perfect for the little ones.

Where is it? Just a few miles down from the Strip, near Green Valley Ranch.
Which room? The Deluxe Room, complete with air conditioning, free toilets, ensuite bathroom and flatscreen TV.
Time Out tip: Make use of the complimentary shuttle to and from the Strip – and the airport.
Address: 2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, Henderson
Price: Starting at $159 per night
Closest Transport Link: Train: Mandalay Bay. Monorail: Mgm Grand Station

Here’s another Vegas hotel option that promises a slightly different aesthetic and experience to many of those in this neck of the woods. The ENGLiSH Hotel (their capitalisation, not ours) opened its doors in March 2022 and is run by Todd English. The result is a 74-room hotel in the Arts District that is run with precision but also feels 100% more intimate than those towering palaces on the Strip do. It also, as expects, has some pretty nice food on offer too (we’ll get to that later).

The room designs take inspiration from the Roaring Twenties era, but here that has been translated into striking contemporary spaces with lots of black, lots of white and lots of urbane style hits. There’s a definitely rock-star-crash-pad thing going on here (if you’d book the Chelsea Hotel in New York, then try here for your Vegas stay) but it’s kept paired back and sophisticated. When booking, consider opting for a view with poolside views, it will add an extra note of tranquility to your stay.

Everyone staying here has access to their room service 2.0 menu. Overseen by The Pepper Club, it offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes of a kind not normally found as a room service option. To us, that sounds like the start of a very sexy night alone in your room with your partner. But if you’d rather venture - slightly - out, head to The Pepper Club’s onsite restaurant, a decadent, indulgent and delectable abode that serves dishes that are high quality without being pretentious or overfussy.

Just one thing to note: this is a hotel for over 21s only. So don’t rock up with the rest of the Von Trapp family in tow.

Where is it? South Main Street, in the heart of the Arts District.
Which room? This all depends on who you're traveling with. Going solo? Go for the King Room. Partying with a pal? Go for the Deluxe Queen Room to secure a bed each.
Time Out tip: Stay here if you're looking to be close enough to the action of the Strip – without hearing it 24/7.
Address: 921 South Main Street
Price: Starting at $293 per night
Closest Transport Link: Train: Sls Station. Monorail: Westgate Station. 

Located right on the heart of Las Vegas' infamous Strip, the Four Seasons Hotel has all you need for a quintessentially Vegas stay, despite being one of the few non-gaming and non-smoking hotels in this area of town. Instead, you get to be in the heart of the action while also returning each evening to a place where elegance dominates and making you feel brilliant is the name of the game. Everything you would normally expect from a Four Seasons Hotel is here - only you’ve also got the dazzling world of Vegas right on your doorstep as well.

Understandably, many of the rooms look out over the Strip. But you can also book a Stadium- or Valley-view suite instead. On which note, the Four Seasons brand always caters well to families. If you’re travelling with children, consider booking one of their many suites, all of which come with various handy options around cribs and rollaways. They also have great options for accessible rooms, including those with roll-in showers. Luxurious but also brilliantly practical.

There are two pools here: the oasis private pool and the bigger Mandalay Bay Resort Pool Complex, which includes a lazy river, a sandy beach and a wave pool. You can also visit the five-star spa, which offers classic and bespoke treatments, plus a fun nail bar to visit frequently.

Dining-wise, the centerpeice is Veranda, an airy contemporary American restaurant, but there’s also a steak house, several beautiful bars and a lot of options for room service (for those of us who like to eat our waffles in the bath tub).

Where is it? On. The. Strip.
Which room? The Superior King Room with Strip View. Yep, it's spenny. Yep, it's worth it.
Time Out tip: Make time for a fresh set of nails or a full body massage at the on-site spa. Go on, treat yourself.
Address: 3960 Las Vegas Boulevard.
Price: Starting at $465 (approx.) per night
Closest Transport Link: Train: Mandalay Bay. Monorail: Mgm Grand Station. 

Big name brands like ‘Hilton’ can leave you thinking that ‘a Hilton is a Hilton is a Hilton’. When, in fact, many of the hotels owned by the brand have their own distinct characteristics. This is particularly true of this one, which forms part of the monumental Resorts World complex, along with two other hotels, Crockfords and Conrads. Of the three, the Hilton recommends itself as a surprisingly affordable and unpretentious option (good if you’re travelling with youngsters or simply like a more low-key atmosphere to the place where you’re staying.

The Hilton rooms are simply decorated, urban spaces with a focus on maximising your view out of the hotel and giving guests a non-cramped feeling. Their various options are also good if you’ve got access needs, including mobility requirements. They all include some cheery flashes of color in the carpets and wall art.

But quite frankly, the reason you’re staying here isn’t to admire the world’s most attractive interior design. It’s because Resorts World provides an endless list of entertainment options without the need to even leaving the hotel. This includes - naturally - a casino, plus a massive three-storey shopping area, a nightclub, an all-day pool party and an evolving roster of live shows. And that’s before you get to the biggest pool complex on the Strip and a very nice spa.

Dining options are similarly expansive. In fact, this place is home to more than 40 bars and restaurants. More unusual options include Crossroads, the first entirely plant-based high-end dining option on the Strip, which serves visually beautiful (and tasty) Mediterranean dishes with a leaning towards all things Italian.

Where is it? The name might be a little giveaway but the Las Vegas Hilton is located at Resorts World Avenue.
Which room? Try and bag yourself a Deluxe Queen Room with a strip view – it looks incredible at night.
Time Out tip: The Convention Center is across the road from the hotel – as well as the rest of Vegas' vibey Strip.
Address: 99 Resorts World Avenue.
Price: Starting at $150 approx. per night

One of the largest hotels in the world, Aria has 4,004 rooms, including 568 suites and two distinct AAA Five Diamond hotel products. Along with the regular rooms and suites, which boast integrated one-touch tablet technology that opens the curtains, adjusts the lights and electronics, and regulates the room temperature when a guest enters or leaves, the resort includes a hotel-within-a-hotel, the exclusive Sky Suites. Accessed via private check-in and elevator, these 1,000-7,000-square-foot suites offer more than a luxe escape from the clanging casino. They also come with access to a dedicated lounge and Sky Pool, where complimentary treats are distributed at regular intervals.

So what else do you need to know? When not getting your head around all that technology and luxury, you can also wile away the hours by taking a seat around the edge of one of Aria’s three swimming pools. All of them are a lovely ‘eclipse’ shape, which is both pleasing to look at and also nice to swim end-to-end in. The expectation here, however, is that you probably won’t be doing all that much other than sipping a cocktail followed by a cocktail followed by a cocktail… you can leave the heavy exercise regime until you get home.

Talking of which, there’s also a five-star spa that is crying - yes, crying - out for some attention from you. It would be a crime to miss out on their menu of treatments which include the warm spiced mud wrap (to make you feel like a festive drink) and the Knesko gemstone infused facial. Try all that and, once you’re truly glowing, go explore the insane dining options Aria has in-house.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? For those looking to splash the cash, none other than the Sky Suites Penthouse should be on the cards. However, if you're keen to save on your room for the wild nights out, go for the Deluxe Queen or King.
Time Out tip: Get to know the one-touch room control system before heading out – it can be somewhat perplexing after a night on the town!
Address: 3730 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Price: Starting at $210 approx. per night

For years, the Sahara Casino tried to leave behind its past, and the all-suite Lux Tower was called SLS Las Vegas. Now, it’s proudly back to its casino origins - and it’s undergone $150 million in renovations along the way, including the fresh 24-hour CASBAR lounge, premium gaming room, new hotel lobby and sparkling upgraded spa. Because, in all honesty, it wouldn’t be the Sahara without its megasized 60,000-square-foot casino.

However, if you’re looking for a few other things to entertain yourself with during your stay, the Sahara has several other aspects to recommend itself. This includes a very beautiful pool with an adults-only cabana section with gorgeous seating, plus a massive pool deck area with bungalows which can be enjoyed by guests of all ages. If you need additional relaxation and pampering, make sure to also visit the Amina Spa to try out its speciality seasonal treatments.

Where eating is concerned, there are currently six main options to try (with another one on the cards soon). The restaurants include contemporary Italian, delightfully attractive Chinese dumplings and some really fun tacos. For those who really like their meat, a visit to Bazaar Meat by José Andrés should definitely be part of their stay. This place goes in 100% for all things carnivorous but does so with applaudable selectivity, style and wit. There are also two memorable bars - the Casbar lounge and The Tangier. If you want to impress someone, head to the former and try out the customisable cocktails where a photo of any kind can become the top of your beverage!

Where is it? South Las Vegas Boulevard South, along the Strip.
Which room? The Blanca King is a super affordable room at the Sahara, while the Marra One Bedroom Suite offers a little more luxury to your stay.
Time Out tip: Book in for a treatment at the on-site spa and wellness center – it's as dreamy as it sounds.
Address: 2535 South Las Vegas Boulevard
Price: Starting at $90 approx. per night

This was once the Hard Rock hotel, but underwent some serious renovations when it was bought by the Hilton franchise to join its Curio Collection in 2020. Now, it’s the Virgin Hotel, and it boasts eight restaurants, room service, and lounge areas including The Bar at the Commons Club. Sure, it might not immediately sound as flash as some Vegas hotels but there are lots of ‘pluses’ to staying at this resort (and some bargain rates are just one part of that).

In fact, although it might initially seem a little smaller, this resort has four outdoor pools, all laid out as part of a tropical-style paradise. There are loungers, cabanas, daybeds (all of which sounds utterly desirable to us, as we sit at a desk typing this) and the wonderful Kassi Beach House which will set you nicely with an Italian-inspired brunch or dinner you can eat without moving from that spot by the pool.

If you fancy something else, there’s also a branch of the world-famous Nobu for off-the-charts sushi and Michelin-rated Chinese dishes at Chef Xue. Combine all this with the resort’s own Roman-style bath house (part of their excellent spa) and - now we think on it - you’ve got the basis for an extremely nice holiday.

Where is it? Paradise Road, near the Harry Reid International Airport.
Which room? For the budget-conscious, check out the Chamber King. Keen to splash out with your furry friends in tow? Go for the dog-friendly Ruby Chamber Double Queens.
Time Out tip: By staying in the resort, you'll get 20% off the spa and a complimentary appetizer with two mains at the Kitchen at Commons Club.
Address: 4455 Paradise Road
Price: Starting at $130 per night
Closest Transport Link: Monorail: Bally’S/Paris Las Vegas station or Mgm Grand station.

OK, we admit it: we’re not exactly hitting you with the unknown gems here, are we? But in Vegas the big name hotel brands really set their stalls out and it’s well worth a moment to consider what each one is able to offer. Where the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas in concerned, it's all about combining that quintessential on-the-Strip location with more refined, wellbeing-centred ideals. Yes, you may have come to Vegas to ‘go big or go home’ but that doesn’t have to mean you totally lose sight of nurturing your body and your soul (or at least, you won’t have to if you stay here).

Where accommodation is concerned, it’s a mixture of rooms and suites, wherein clean expanses of white are made softer and warmer by golden lighting, cozy grey sofas and a more personalised, abundant inclusion of furnishings than in some hotels. There’s also some nice work going on with dark wood panelling and perpendiculars.

You’ll also find spa-soaking tubs to enjoy in the rooms, which will help get you in the mood for the hotel’s headline act: an award-winning two-storey spa, which includes the eight-floor pool deck with its cabanas, cafe and seriously cushy atmosphere. To us, this place screams ‘me time’ away from any and everyone, but if you’re more of a romantic than we are, they also offer some nice-looking couples treatments.

Evening dining options include the fresh-feeling Zen Kitchen and its thoroughly modern take on American tastes, flavours and foods. However, we’re properly big fans of Peacock Alley, the beautifully lit space designed for cocktails and Afternoon Tea (or… both). Indulge in this most British of traditions across a very drawn-out sitting and leave the rest of the day and night to take care of itself.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? Immerse yourself in the panoramic views of a one-bed King Suite.
Time Out tip: Add a dash of British decadence with afternoon tea in the Tea Lounge.
Address: 3752 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Price: Starting at $587 per night
Closest Transport Link: Monorail: Mgm Grand station or Bally’S/Paris Las Vegas station.

Once the sophisticate of the Strip, the Wynn and Encore have traded their elitist atmosphere for a more energetic vibe without sacrificing any of the luxury. And luxury is what you’ll find the moment you step inside: Hotel rooms start at 640 square feet and offer floor-to-ceiling windows, signature Wynn Dream beds, luxe linens and marble bathtubs. Steve Wynn’s famed attention to detail is evident everywhere you look, but perhaps especially in the Wynn’s Fairway Villas, which come with his-and-hers bathrooms, bars, living and dining areas and even their own massage rooms. If you're looking to impress on a honeymoon, anniversary or, well, whatever, to be honest – you’re in exceptionally good hands here.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard, on the Strip.
Which room? If you're staying at the Wynn, we're sure you're ready to drop some cash. Our suggestion? Go for gold in the Wynn Tower Suite Parlor – it's magical. 
Time Out tip: Can't face the Strip tonight? Head to the hotel's 1,800-slot casino – along with 26 poker tables and a variety of card games available to play.

At these Italian-themed sister properties, opulence is the overriding aesthetic, from grand pillars to muraled ceilings to the turquoise canal that winds through the Venetian complete with singing gondoliers. The same holds true for the all-suite accommodations, which feature separate sitting areas and grand bathrooms and start at a size larger than most New York apartments. Yep, these are big. If money's no object, book your stay at Prestige at the Palazzo, a massive spread that comes with continental breakfast, a live piano player on request, and complimentary wine. Glorious.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? This suite-only hotel has only the best to offer. Whether you go for Venetian Luxury King Suite or the Venitian Prestige Club Lounge Grand King Suite, you're in for a pretty epic treat.
Time Out tip: The Venetian has a 40ft rock-climbing wall in its on-site Canyon Ranch Spa and Fitness gym. Enjoy. 

Owned by Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project, this vintage hotel underwent a refurb into the millennial ideal: a combination co-working space and crash pad with amenities like bike rentals, a library, a fitness center, and a lounge with turntables, and a vinyl collection so you can pick the evening’s soundtrack. Next door at the Gold Spike, the restaurant is open around the clock and the backyard is an adult playground with oversized games, occasional concerts and roller skating parties. This is as budget-friendly as Vegas gets.

Where is it? An easy three-minute walk from the Fremont Street Experience and the rest of Downtown. 
Which room? Splash out on the Gold Spike Double Queen. Just kidding, it's cheap as chips.
Time Out tip: Stay here with an open mind – and a wallet for other activities as it's unbelievably affordable.

If the Strip had a grand dame, this MGM Resorts property would be the place. It exudes a sort of unself-conscious elegance, evident in the lobby’s Chihuly glass ceiling, the observatory’s horticultural wonderland and the iconic fountains, which never fail to captivate. You can enjoy all these sights without booking a room, but opt to stay the night and Bellagio rewards you with spacious rooms and suites with integrated tech, mood lighting and soaking tubs. For a fee, you can even bring the dog along.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? From the Resort King Room to the Penthouse Suite, you'll find luxury at its finest at the Bellagio.
Time Out tip: Looking for that Insta shot? Head to the Fountains of Bellagio in front of the hotel – it's ideal.

This excellent example of why Marriott is so good at these things is just a little walk from the Las Vegas Strip. That means you’re close enough to the action but because there’s no casino here it’s a little quieter, so it’s great if you’re looking for something a little less manic from your Vegas trip. Prices are really reasonable compared to hotels right on the Strip, and while there’s less glitz the rooms are big and service was exceptional on our visit. And if you’re in a group? The villas – available with up to three rooms – are a really solid option.

Where is it? East Harmon Avenue, 15 mins from Las Vegas Strip.
Which room? From one- to three-bedroom villas, you're spoilt for choice. This is the ideal hotel for a group of pals looking to paint the town red Vegas-style.
Time Out tip: Looking for a little peace among the madness of Las Vegas? The Grand Chateau is described as a 'hidden gem' in the middle of the chaos – stay here if you know you'll need a respite once in a while. 

Another corker of a hotel on the Strip, and right next to the T-Mobile Arena, the Park MGM goes big on style. We really like the fact that it's got an Eataly here (big fans), but the food is maybe even better at Bavette's Steakhouse & Bar, specializing in high-quality French-inspired cuisine. The rooms are properly high-spec, there's an onsite casino (of course there is!), and there are three pools with poolside cabanas. Glorious. Oh, and if the T-Mobile Arena next door is too far to walk? The Park MGM Las Vegas has its own 5,200-seat arena, the Dolby Live at Park MGM. You'll know plenty of the names playing.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? The Nighthawk Suite as it offers so much in one great package. From 55-inch TVs to walk-in closets, it's got all you for a great Vegas stay.
Time Out tip: Wine and dine at Bavette's Steakhouse and Bar on-site for French-inspired cuisine and smooth jazz throughout the evening.

It’s kitsch, it’s quirky and, despite being entirely devoted to its namesake city, it's somehow quintessentially Vegas. This one-of-a-kind hotel brings the Big Apple to Nevada with, for example, a replica of an entire Greenwich Village street doubling as the food court. In the contemporary, unfussy rooms you’ll find more nods to Manhattan and its surroundings. The whole place is designed to be unashamedly ‘fun’ and when you’re in Vegas that’s all you really want.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? Splash out on a one-bed Luxury King Suite for additional space.
Time Out tip: Get competitive in the video game arcade.

The Cosmopolitan set out to be different from anywhere else in on the Strip and it has achieved that goal with style, sophistication and plenty of wit. The choice of the hip “curious class,” as well as in-the-know locals, Cosmo attracts a younger, more urbane crowd with its poolside concerts and buzzy restaurants. Spend the night and enjoy spacious, boldly decorated rooms with amenities like Japanese soaking tubs and some of the only balconies on the Strip. Plus, 21 ultra luxury penthouses debuted in 2017, created by a trio of world-class designers.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? The City Room is super affordable – and gorgeous – for those watching the cash. Looking for a little more pizzazz? Head to the Terrace Suite for fountain views and Vegas nights.
Time Out tip: Head to EggSlut to nurse your hangover from as early as 7am. Oh, and no judgment if you're just walking through the door.

The casino resort that redefined Las Vegas continues to be one of the Strip’s prime destinations, with a stunning pool area, the hottest club in town, a massive shopping center and nearly 4,000 rooms and suites. They run the gamut from the Forum Tower's classic design to the Augustus Tower’s contemporary aesthetic to Nobu Hotel’s sleek Japanese sophistication. And because Caesars has long been synonymous with luxury, the hotel also boasts a handful of ultra-exclusive villas, starting at $15,000 per night. The best of the bunch is the 10,300-square-foot Nobu Villa with a massive terrace, steam shower and game room, which has played host to Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Drake.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? The Forum Tower Duplex Suite – it's next level.
Time Out tip: Take yourself down to the Qua Baths for a unique Roman Bath hydrotherapy treatment.

Located around the back of Mandalay Bay, Delano is the resort's chic luxury tower. The rooms here are all suites, decorated in Miami-style minimalism with stunning views, separate living areas, plush robes and a pair of 46-inch HD TVs. The same hip design is employed throughout the hotel, which has its own array of amenities, including the Franklin bar, Delano Beach Club, the Bathhouse Spa and Rivea, a new Mediterranean restaurant from chef Alain Ducasse.

Where is it? Las Vegas Boulevard South, on the Strip.
Which room? The Delano Strip View Two Queen Suite, for you and three pals to live out your best lives for a weekend.
Time Out tip: Head to the Delano Beach Club for noon mimosas and good vibes all day long.

With all the amenities of a Strip mega-resort, Red Rock has a devoted following of visitors who choose the property precisely because it's away from the hubbub of Las Vegas Boulevard and in close proximity to the city's best rock climbing and cycling. But just because you want to get outside, doesn't mean you'll be roughing it. The guestrooms are fashionably outfitted with modern furniture and accessories that don't sacrifice comfort for style, and a massive spa renovation means top-notch pampering and fitness classes (vertical yoga, anyone?) are right downstairs.

Where is it? W Charleston Boulevard, near Spring Valley.
Which room? The Luxury Suite, with two bedrooms, mountain views and stunning design.
Time Out tip: Ask about the Summer Dreamin' packages – it could be just what you're looking for.
