Las Vegas Hotels With Recently Renovated Rooms

Wynn: Wrapping up in June of 2022, Wynn has maintained its status as the most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas with a $200 million renovation project that touched all 2,674 rooms in the tower.

Designed by Todd-Avery Lenahan, the redesigned guestrooms are intended to have a more residential feel and offer upgraded furniture, lighting, and artwork.

New York New York: A $63 million renovation project kicked off in August of 2022 which will touch 1,830 rooms and 155 suites.

Design elements inspired by New York City like exposed brick walls and pops of “taxicab yellow” and “big apple red” modernize the room product while staying true to the resort’s theme.

I personally stayed at NYNY a few years back and was underwhelmed. The rooms were dated and felt like 1992. This upgrade is sure to draw me back in.

The first round of renovated rooms will be available to guests in October of 2022 and the full project will be wrapped up in 2023.

MGM Grand: 700 rooms in MGM Grand’s Studio Tower (formerly the West Wing) are being renovated as part of a project that was completed in December 2022.

The new Studio Rooms boast a “Desert palette of fresh pinks and chartreuse greens” to create a Palm Springs vibe.

Unfortunately, the remaining 4,000+ rooms that aren’t part of the Studio Tower at MGM Grand haven’t been renovated since 2012.

I’m hopeful additional wings will be touched after they wrap up the current project, although no additional information is available at this point.

You can check out their somewhat dated baseline Grand King, and Grand Two Queen Rooms here.

Caesars Palace: Almost every tower at Caesars has been the beneficiary of recent renovation activity within the past decade as detailed below:

• Caesars Palace’s 182-room Nobu “hotel within a hotel” was updated as part of a renovation project that concluded in early 2022.

• Their Palace Tower, which is the largest by room count at 1,181 rooms, was refreshed in 2017.
• Caesars’ Augustus Tower, centrally located near the Garden of the Gods pool and hotel lobby, was refurbished in 2016.
• Caesars’ Julius Tower, formerly known as the Roman Tower, was renovated in 2015.

Horseshoe: All rooms in Horseshoe’s last remaining tower, the Resort Tower, were last renovated as part of a project that wrapped up in 2018. Guestrooms pop with red accent walls and modern furnishings, and the exterior of the building has been re-painted recently to match the Horseshoe brand.

Notably, Horseshoe’s former Jubilee Tower is in the process of being integrated into neighboring Paris, as their new Versailles Tower.

Flamingo: Over 2/3 (or 2,246 out of 3,460 rooms) of the rooms at Flamingo were renovated in 2018 at a cost of $156 million.

Flamingo’s Fab rooms are the most dated option at this point while their Go and Flamingo rooms have a more modern feel.

Renovated room options offer minimalist design elements, sophisticated bathroom fixtures, and modern furnishings.

Harrah’s: A renovation of Harrah’s Valley Tower transformed 1,622 rooms and suites and was completed in 2017. The refurbished rooms feature lighter tones, stylish lighting fixtures/furnishings, and an overall modern feel.

The most recently renovated room options at Harrah’s are the Mountain Deluxe rooms which were completed in 2020.

Linq Hotel + Experience: All of Linq’s 2,253 guest rooms were renovated as of 2015 when Caesars spent $223 million to transform the Quad (formerly Imperial Palace) into the Linq.

Although the hotel’s odd green/blue exterior paint scheme is a bit funky, the renovated guestrooms feel fresh, with new furnishings and design elements.

While I’ve personally had solid experiences in Linq’s standard rooms, a recent stay in one of their unique Poolside Cabana rooms was somewhat underwhelming.

Planet Hollywood: A room renovation project was completed in 2017 which touched all 2,496 rooms at Planet Hollywood. Renovated rooms feature modern wall art, pops of vibrant color, and even mini-fridges. A rare find in a Las Vegas Strip hotel!

Park MGM: 2,700 guest rooms at Park MGM were remodeled as part of the resort’s 2018 transformation from its previous identity as Monte Carlo. 293 rooms at Nomad at Park MGM were also remodeled as part of that metamorphosis.

Base renovated room options include the Park MGM King and their Park MGM 2-Queen.

I recently stayed in a baseline king room at Park MGM – Check it out!

Mandalay Bay: All 3,209 guestrooms and suites were renovated as part of a $100 million, 2015 project. Among their cheapest renovated options are their Resort King and Resort 2-Queen hotel rooms.

I recently stayed in a Sky View Suite at Mandalay and found the room product to be impressive.

Excalibur: 1,995 rooms in Excalibur’s Royal Tower were renovated as part of a 2016 project. Rooms in Excalibur’s Resort Tower have not been renovated.

Luxor: A 2018 project saw Luxor renovate hotel rooms in their east and west hotel towers.

Among the cheapest room options include the baseline Tower Premium King Room and Tower Premium 2 Queen option.

In 2021, Luxor touched up their Pyramid King, and Pyramid 2 Queen rooms, adding pops of color that provide a brighter, more modern feel.

A step above baseline tower accommodations, Luxor’s Pyramid Premier rooms, and Premium Elite Suites have also been renovated.

Venetian & Palazzo: The new owner of Venetian and Palazzo, Apollo Global Management, has announced a $1 billion+ renovation project that will touch all aspects of the resort experience, including every suite.

Details like timelines, renderings, etc. are currently sparse. I’ll be sure to update this post as more details become available.

Venetian’s last hotel room renovation project took place in 2015, and Palazzo’s suites were last refreshed in 2018.

Sahara: A property that has seen a significant amount of change over the past few years transitioning from Sahara to SLS, then back to Sahara, all guest rooms have been recently renovated.

Hotels with Renovated Rooms in Downtown Las Vegas

El Cortez: El Cortez recently wrapped up a renovation project that touched their Original 47 rooms.

The new room product features a unique minty green color, floral accent wall, fresh flooring, and new furnishings.

Binion’s: In 2019, Binion’s re-opened 81 rooms that were originally part of the former Hotel Apache which hide behind the resort’s neon facade. Prior to the re-opening, rooms were refurbished in a vintage theme which is intended to celebrate the historic nature of the property.

Check out my recent stay in one of Binion’s renovated Hotel Apache rooms here.

Downtown Grand: Although rooms in Downtown Grand’s original two hotel towers haven’t been touched since 2013 (see DTG’s older Premium Rooms here), their 495-room Gallery Tower opened in 2020 and is built to impress.

I recently stayed in a brand new Superior Room, and the review can be viewed here.

Fremont: Boyd Gaming has wrapped up a renovation project that touched every room in the resort and greatly increased the quality of the property’s hotel product.

California: Rooms at Cal, popular with Hawaiian visitors, were refreshed as part of a project that wrapped up in 2017.

Palms: All hotel guest rooms were overhauled as part of Palms’ $690 million renovation project that wrapped up in 2019.

Palace Station: As part of a renovation project that was completed in 2018, all 575 hotel rooms at Palace Station have been renovated. The older, “courtyard rooms”, including the infamous OJ Simpson room, have been demolished.

South Point: As part of a 3 year, $40 million project, South Point is renovating all 2,163 of their hotel rooms. Remodeled rooms started coming online in 2018 and the final rooms were completed in 2020. Refurbished rooms will have all new furniture, USB charging ports, and a more modern feel.
