The 10 Nicest, Most Luxurious Hotels on the Strip

“What’s your favorite hotel in Vegas?”

As a Vegas-centric content creator who’s stayed in darn near every hotel, variations of that question are constantly asked by friends & family when they find out what I do for a living.

Considering how often it comes up in my personal life, I figured it would be a fun question to tackle for folks researching a trip.

These are the top hotels on the Strip, ranked from great to best.

Top Las Vegas Strip Hotels

Nobu at Caesars Palace (starts at $175/nt)

A hotel within a hotel, Nobu offers its own dedicated hotel registration desk, complimentary coffee & tea daily, and a daily cocktail hour (also free).

I loved the look of my Nobu Deluxe King room – The light fixtures especially. The furnishings were high-quality, and the bed was among the most comfortable I’ve had in Vegas.

This is a cozy room.

The king bed with a zebra striped accent wall above it.

The biggest gripe I had with my Nobu room was its size. At 350 square feet, it’s tiny, and the bathroom layout wasn’t “on par” with other high-end strip hotels.

The shower, single-sink vanity, and toilet are pretty cramped, and we need some art above the throne… that wall looks boring AF.

While this is a nice room, the lack of space prevents it from moving up on the list.

Bellagio (starts at $215/nt)

Bellagio’s Premier King is elegant.

The couch, framing around the king bed, and the color scheme can be scientifically described as “frickin’ nice”. You’re not going to be disappointed.

That “frickin’ nice” vibe carries into the bathroom, which has a massive shower (with “Shawshank Redemption”-level water pressure) and a stunning, illuminated mirror over a dual vanity sink.

The glass shower is pictured behind the dual sink vanity.

A toilet with a small phone on the wall to the right of the dual sink vanity.

Vdara (starts at $140/nt)

Vdara is a non-gaming hotel, but don’t let that scare you off. It’s connected to The Cosmopolitan and Bellagio by an indoor walkway, and is steps from Aria. Essentially, you have 3 luxury resorts, their casinos, and dining options at your disposal.

Vdara’s base Studio room has 582 SF and a kitchenette, a rare amenity on the Strip.

Both of my stays have been in a Studio Parlor, which is a few dollars more, has the same square footage & kitchenette, but has a slightly different layout with a dividing wall between the king bed & the living area.

The dividing wall has TV’s mounted on both sides.

I feel Vdara is one of the best values in Vegas.

A kitchenette in the Studio Parlor, which has a table, stove, microwave, and sink.

Living area in the Studio Parlor that has a TV and chair facing a TV on a dividing wall that separates the room from the bedroom area.

The bathroom is fine, but it’s far from the room’s selling point. It has a deep tub, but only a single-sink vanity, no separate water closet, and a smaller shower.

The Cosmopolitan (starts at $200/nt)

Cosmopolitan’s City Room is the cheapest, but for around 10% more, you can upgrade to a Terrace Studio, which has an outdoor balcony and a whoppin’ 730 SF compared to the 460 SF the base City Room offers.

I’ve logged several stays in the Cosmopolitan’s Terrace Studio, and it’s special. Better yet, every room at The Cosmopolitan will be renovated as part of a 2027 project.

The bathroom has a fashionable vanity, a deep tub, a massive shower, and a separate water closet with fun wallpaper.

A dual sink vanity, topped with two separate illuminated mirrors in the shape of an oval.

The Venetian & Palazzo (starts at $185/nt)

I’m lumping these sister towers together, as the layout and resort experience are similarly spectacular.

My most recent stay was in a renovated Luxury King Suite at The Venetian, and they did a great job modernizing these rooms. I loved the pops of red, and the addition of an empty mini-fridge is a nice perk.

The Venetian’s suites start at $650 SF, and the highlight is the sunken living area, which has its own dedicated TV.

A living area with a small table with 3 chairs, a red couch, and a TV.

Not much changed in the bathroom during the renovation (tile & countertops stayed), but I loved the addition of an illuminated mirror, and the powder station had a swanky, fresh vibe vs. its dated predecessor.

Waldorf Astoria (starts at $375/nt)

Waldorf is a bit of an outlier for me, as it’s a room I’d never book again. It’s right on the Strip, but there isn’t a casino, and to be honest, it’s just out of my price range.

As a gambler, I prefer to stay where my play can earn a discounted or free room.

That said, my first (and only) stay in a City View Room was phenomenal. What a room.

Unique amenities I thought were fun included a shoe horn, complimentary in-room (fancy) coffee, digital check-in & keys, and a tea kettle.

While nice, the bathroom had a window that let anyone look in while you were in the tub or shower… Fine for most occasions, but could make a “guys’ trip” a bit weird.

But my goodness, did it feel luxurious.

The shower, whichc has complimentary bath products mounted on the wall.

Another unique touch, bath salts were stocked next to the tub.

Fontainebleau (starts at $220/nt)

The newest resort on the Strip has some serious wow factor and has quickly become one of my favorite hangouts.

While Fontainebleau’s cheapest rooms start at around $220/nt after fees, Fontainebleau Rewards has sent me a constant stream of complimentary room offers, despite minimal play in the casino.

They’re pushing hard to pull people in, and you get a lot for your money because of it.

These rooms are in the same league as Wynn, IMO.

The Bleau Room’s decor is modern, the furnishings are top-shelf, and the bathrooms are among the best-looking in town.

Crockfords at Resorts World (starts at $350/nt)

Resorts World is home to 3 hotel brands, and their top option, Crockfords, doesn’t disappoint.

I was (finally) able to score a Superior King room on a comp, and was impressed by the experience.

The 550 SF room is positioned near the top of the tower and has floor-to-ceiling windows, comically tall ceilings, a massage gun, coffee-table books, Crockfords-branded stationery, slippers, robes, and complimentary coffee that didn’t suck.

My biggest gripe about the room was how plain the decor was. It could use some personality. Some soul. Fill those walls in a bit!

The room was so immaculate that the vacuum lines were still visible on the furniture.

I’ll tell you what, though, the bathroom didn’t lack aesthetic appeal, and the complimentary toiletry kit was a nice touch.

Encore (starts at $310/nt)

This is a tricky one. Encore’s current 745 SF rooms offer an amazing experience. They’re nothing short of magnificent.

Crazy thing is, they’re getting even better, as renovation work has started and will touch every room in the tower. I fully expect Encore to surpass Wynn as the “nicest hotel in Las Vegas” as those fresh rooms come online.

This is the pre-renovation version of Encore’s Resort King room, which has a partially separated bedroom & living area. The TV swivels between the two.

It was the room’s decor that made an immediate impression on me.

I’m far from being an elite “interior design mind”, but the various textures and patterns used on the walls gave the room an upscale feel, and the mirrored wall in both the living area and the bedroom made the space feel bigger than it was.

There are a couple of robes in the bathroom, along with a small TV, and I loved how the facial tissue holder matched the rest of the room.

Wynn (starts at $255/nt)

Every room at Wynn was renovated as part of a 2022 project, and I think they nailed it. This is the best hotel in Las Vegas.

The Resort King Room had a slew of impressive amenities, including a bedside tablet with room controls that also served as a TV remote and guide and an Alexa device that was actually helpful. Not a gimmick at all.

This may be the most technologically advanced room in Las Vegas.

The swivel chairs positioned in front of the Strip-view windows are a nice touch. Perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail.

While I’ve heard plenty of whining online about the new room design, I loved the decor.

The room’s bathroom reeked of elegance, had a separate tub, and offered a complimentary toiletry kit.

I also love the nightlight feature.

Other Notables to Consider

There are 2 hotels that I have yet to stay at that assuridly will find their way into this rundown of top Vegas hotels.

They’re on my list.

In the meantime, I didn’t want to leave them out.

The Reserve (starts at $185/nt)

Formerly NoMad, The Reserve at Park MGM is a hotel-within-a-hotel concept that’s differentiated by oak hardwood flooring, original wall art, a mahogany work desk, and a velvet window seat.

I’ve put off staying here because I anticipated they’d be renovated as part of the rebrand to The Reserve, but it appears they’ll remain the same room under a new name.

Four Seasons (starts at $400/nt)

Nestled within the Mandalay Bay campus, rooms at Four Seasons look great, sporting a white-and-cream color scheme, 550 SF of space, and great views, as they are perched atop the Mandalay Bay tower.

Differentiated amenities include 2x-per-day housekeeping, down pillows & duvets, and, upon request, your choice of plush or firm mattress toppers.

I look forward to booking a stay, even if my wallet is terrified.

Obviously, my rundown of the best hotels on the Strip is subjective and based largely on my experience at the resort.

I’d love to hear from you in the comments. What are your top picks for the most luxurious resorts in Las Vegas?
