Las Vegas is home to some of the largest and most elaborate resorts in the world.
In addition to thousands of rooms, Vegas resorts commonly have impressive pools, diverse dining options, the biggest buffets around, and world-class entertainment.
Not surprisingly, the largest hotels in the city all line the iconic Strip. Join me as I count down the 13 biggest hotels by room count in Las Vegas.
Largest Hotels On The Strip
13. Mandalay Bay – 3,209 Rooms
Anchoring the south end of the Strip, Mandalay Bay lays claim to the 5th largest convention center in North America, with over 2,000,000 square feet of space.
In addition to thousands of hotel rooms, Mandalay is also home to a sprawling 11-acre pool complex comprised of a lazy river, a 1.6 million-gallon wave pool, a jogging track, and 2,700 tons of sand.
12. Flamingo – 3,460 Rooms
Originally opened in 1946 by mobster Bugsy Siegel, Flamingo is not only huge, but an iconic part of the city’s history.
Obviously, the center Strip hotel has changed over the years, now offering a 93,000 square foot gaming floor, 2 distinct pool environments, and even an outdoor wildlife habitat that is home to various types of fowl, including flamingos.
Note that approximately 2/3 of Flamingo’s 3,460 rooms have also been recently renovated.
11. Resorts World – 3,506 Rooms
Complete with over 40 food & beverage options, a 5.5-acre rooftop pool complex, 117,000 square feet of gaming, a 5,000-seat entertainment venue, and 70,000 square feet of retail, Resorts World packs a punch.
10. Fontainebleau – 3,644 Rooms
Fontainebleau Las Vegas stood watch over the Strip as a stalled resort project for 15+ years, but it finally opened to the public in December of 2024 as the 10th biggest hotel in Las Vegas.
The new resort also boasts a stunning 150,000-square-foot casino, a rooftop pool deck, and over a half-million square feet of convention space.
9. Paris – 3,672 Rooms
Paris recently ascended to become one of the largest on the Strip, thanks to its absorption of Bally’s former Jubilee Tower, now known as the Versailles Tower.
The tower underwent a $100 million renovation that touched all 756 rooms and the exterior facade.
Uniquely, rooms in Paris’ “new” Versailles Tower are among the largest standard accommodations on the Strip, at 436 square feet. Some will even have a balcony.
8. Circus Circus – 3,773 Rooms
Known as one of the more “family-friendly” resorts in Vegas, Circus Circus offers guests access to the Splash Zone water playground, featuring several water slides and a splash pad.
Additional kid-friendly things to do include The Adventuredome indoor theme park, arcade & midway, and free daily circus acts.
Parents, don’t worry. Circus Circus also offers a full adult casino, including the largest collection of token-operated slot machines in Las Vegas.
7. Bellagio – 3,933 Rooms
A luxurious, center Strip resort, Bellagio opened in October of 1998 and cost $1.6 billion to construct.
In addition to its size, Bellagio is known for its iconic Fountains of Bellagio, seasonal conservatory displays, and 100,000+ square feet of gaming.
Another sizable amenity offered by Bellagio is the pool complex, home to 5 pools, 4 whirlpools, and 50+ cabanas.
6. Caesars Palace – 3,980 Rooms
Sitting on 85 acres of land and comprised of 5 distinct hotel towers, Caesars is one of the biggest resorts in Las Vegas.
In addition to an impressive room count, Caesars Palace is also home to the “Garden of the Gods” pool complex, comprising 7 pools and swim-up blackjack.
Their upscale Bacchanal Buffet easily qualifies as one of the best buffets in Vegas.
5. Excalibur – 3,981 Rooms
A medieval castle-themed property, Excalibur opened in 1990 at a cost of $290 million.
Excalibur also has an expansive, albeit unfancy pool complex, complete with 4 heated pools, 2 waterfalls, and a sprawling 100,000 square foot casino floor.
Known for being budget-friendly, Excalibur delivers a strong value proposition to frugal tourists with lower table minimums, cheap restaurants, a budget-friendly buffet, and comparatively inexpensive entertainment.
4. Aria – 4,002 Rooms
Aria’s hotel, one of the biggest on the Strip, is already one of the most luxurious options. That reputation is only going to get stronger as each of the resort’s guestrooms will be touched as part of a 2026 renovation project.
Aria’s hotel lobby swaps out decor seasonally, and is a “must-see” attraction for me when I’m in the area. Above the registration desk is a metal sculpture that depicts every bend and curve of the Colorado River.
3. Venetian – 4,028 Rooms
Venetian’s hotel is one of the biggest in town, but the size of the property isn’t what catches your eye, rather the elaborate theming.
From her stunning exterior presence and the open-air piazza feel of St. Mark’s Square to the cobblestone streets of the Grand Canal Shoppes, Venetian excels at transporting guests to another continent.
Each of The Venetian’s 4,000+ suites were recently renovated and sport a more modern, yet elegant vibe.
2. Luxor – 4,400 Rooms
No hotel in Las Vegas is more recognizable to the average Joe than Luxor. The iconic pyramid first opened its doors in 1993 at a cost of $375 million.
Twin 22-story hotel towers were added to the property in 1998, allowing it to claim its current rank as the second largest in Vegas.
Other notable amenities and things to do at Luxor include a sprawling 5-acre pool complex, HyperX eSports Arena, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, Bodies… The Exhibition, and Discovering King Tut’s Tomb.
1. MGM Grand – 5,044 Rooms
The biggest hotel in Vegas by Room count, MGM Grand originally opened in 1993 with a “Wizard of Oz” theme.
While that theming has faded, guests are still welcomed by a 45-foot-tall bronze lion statue weighing in at 100,000 lbs.
A neat historic note about MGM Grand is that the Marina Hotel tower (which operated from 1975 to 1990) was incorporated into the resort during construction. The former Marina Hotel structure is now a part of MGM Grand’s Studio Tower (the one closest to the Strip).
Every room at MGM Grand has been renovated, and I think this is one of the best budget-friendly hotels on the Strip, starting at around $100/nt after fees.
There you have it – The 13 biggest hotels in Las Vegas. Safe to say there’ll be a place to lay your head when you arrive!

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
