Key Points:
- Crockfords is the most luxurious hotel brand at Resorts World Las Vegas.
- My 1BR Superior Room had high ceilings, stunning views, and amenities not found elsewhere.
- While nice, the room had a “soulless” vibe, lacking character.
Crockfords is the most luxurious hotel brand at Resorts World… and while it was a spectacular room, with amenities and features not found elsewhere, I found it devoid of personality.
They’ve gotta liven the place up a bit!
Let me show you what I mean.
Crockfords Room Cost & Check In
A first-time occurrence, I was offered a complimentary Crockfords-flagged room at Resorts World thanks to my (meager) gambling activity in their Genting Rewards program.
Considering I’ve enjoyed stays in both their base Hilton and mid-tier Conrad-branded rooms, I was jacked to experience Crockfords, a room type that’s been on my list since the resort opened in 2021.
At the time, Resorts World was running a no-resort-fee promo, meaning my room was completely free.
Check-in is completed in advance via the Hilton Honors App, and your phone acts as your room key – A slick process that I recommend.
Uniquely, you don’t need to unlock your phone and open an app to use the digital room key; rather, hold your “dead” phone up to what you want unlocked, and it knows to use it.
Not sure I’ve seen that elsewhere, but it was convenient.
That said, this is one occasion in which you may prefer to do your business face-to-face. Easily, one of the more inspiring hotel lobbies in Las Vegas.
Crockfords 1BR Superior Room
Man, you just knew this room was going to be special on the approach, the hallways had high ceilings, were extraordinarily lit, and just had a classy vibe to ‘em.
Base Crockfords Superior Rooms offer a solid 550 square feet of space, and insanely tall ceilings, which make the floor-to-ceiling windows all the more awesome.
Of course, the first thing I had to do was smash the open drapes button to check out my Strip view.
The view was great, and this is easily one of the nicest standard rooms on the Strip.
Unique touches in the room that I enjoyed included:
Slippers and robes in the closet.
A message gun of all things, stationed bedside.
A coffee maker with complimentary pods (that was of high quality, I’ll add).
Some light reading on places you should see before you die.
An empty minifridge right next to a stocked mini bar fridge.
There was even Crockfords-branded stationery & envelopes for those of you with a pen pal.
The TV offered the option to stream from your phone, which I’ve grown to appreciate.
Lastly, this is the first time I recall seeing vacuum/cleaning lines on furniture – Next level attention to detail.
The quiet elegance of the room carried into the bathroom, which had a classy vibe and fun extras.
The motion-activated makeup mirror was a nice touch, as was the stash of complimentary necessities.
I also really liked the under-vanity nightlight.
What’s Not To Like?
When I review hotels, I look to give the whole story, not just the good, to help you make a more informed decision.
As you may expect in a room of this caliber, there’s absolutely nothing to report on the cleanliness and maintenance front. The room was spectacular, aside from one thing…
It’s minor, but it kind of drove me nuts the more I looked at it. The speaker bar under the TV was slightly cockeyed, hanging a little lower on the left.
My only other minor critique is that the room felt absent of soul. There was no real character, and it felt sterile.
VERY nice. VERY comfortable. But the bedroom area is a bit of an aesthetic yawner for me.
Don’t let it dissuade you, though. This is a spectacular room.
Resort Experience
The Pool at Resorts World
Let’s take this discussion from the room to the resort pool, which is one of my favorites on the Strip.
The rooftop pool deck spans 5.5 acres and offers a few differentiated options and plenty of space.
Their Family Pool is kid-friendly and has splash pad-like features. Not something typically seen in Las Vegas.
My favorite spot was the 21+ Athena Infinity Pool offers views of the Strip to the south.
The pool at Resorts World is chill, relaxing, and quiet. Not a party vibe. It’s my kind of pool.
Crockfords guests even have their own private pool entrance, so mingling with the commoners can be avoided.
Dining at Resorts World
Being on a bit of an island, dining options are important, and Resorts World has more than 50 food & beverage options. FIFTY.
I actually said to myself, “That can’t be right”… but I counted. It is.
A budget-conscious dude to my core, I gravitate toward the Famous Foods Street Eats, a collection of 20 restaurants & bars that offer quality grab & go fare at a decent price.
Disappointingly, most options were shuttered during my mid-week stay, but one of my favorites was open for business.
I went with my personal “Ole reliable”, a Beef Rice Bowl from Geylang Claypot Rice for $19.75, and it was delicious and filling as per usual.
I didn’t stop in this stay, but the Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den Speakeasy, hidden behind the back wall of Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng, is a great spot to catch a craft cocktail. It’s an instant “vibe shift” from the casino floor you just walked off of.
Free Rides from Zoox
Zoox, an autonomous robotaxi company owned by Amazon, is offering free rides while they test their service.
Currently, there are just 5 stops, which include Resorts World, NYNY, Luxor, Topgolf, and Area15, an advancement from my August visit when it could only take riders on a joyride loop, starting and terminating at Resorts World.
The Sphere will be added as a stop in early 2026.
While Resorts World’s location on the north Strip isn’t ideal, Zoox can get you to the south Strip for free… for a limited time at least.
The Casino
On the casino floor, Resorts World was dealing $10 6:5 Blackjack, roulette, and craps, and $15 Face Up Pai Gow, UTH, and 3 Card Poker.
The sportsbook is rarely busy, and is tucked in the back of the Dawg House Saloon, meaning food & drink are easily accessible.
Resorts World’s casino lounge game is also one of the best in Vegas – Both Gatsby’s and their Crystal Lounge are lookers.
Is Crockfords at Resorts World a Worthy Upgrade?
I’ve waited years to experience the top-tier rooms at Resorts World, and feel fortunate to have been able to do so on a comp.
Crockfords, from the hotel lobby to the room, offers a top-tier experience – The tall ceilings, the windows, the view.
Not sure I’ll pay up for one in the future, their base room types are nice enough for me, and I slightly prefer other upmarket options like those at Fontainebleau, Wynn, or The Venetian, for instance, but I doubt you’ll be disappointed if you choose to.

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.
