Las Vegas Hotels, Ranked

On the north end of the Strip, the Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World covers a lot of ground. Seven outdoor pools — including an adults-only infinity pool — sit alongside a full spa, a street food hall, an award-winning steakhouse and 250,000 sq ft of event space.

Dating back to 1946 and sitting 100 metres from the Fremont Street Experience, the Golden Nugget earns its reputation through actual features rather than just history. The shark tank waterslide at The Tank pool is the most memorable thing you’ll do on a Las Vegas afternoon.

Designed by Philippe Starck across three distinct towers, the SAHARA is one of the most visually considered hotels on the Strip. Balla Italian Soul handles dining with a 3-course menu worth sitting down for. Two boutique pools — one adult-only — give you options depending on your mood.

A kilometre and a half from the Bellagio Fountains, Club Wyndham Grand Desert is built around space and flexibility. Three outdoor pools, four hot tubs, a gym and a sauna sit alongside select suites with jetted tubs and skyline views of the Sphere and the F1 Grand Prix course.

Three kilometres from the Bellagio Fountains, Tahiti Resort works well for longer stays. The sand-bottom pools give it a resort feel that most Vegas properties skip. Full kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers in select suites mean you are not dependent on the hotel for every meal or errand.

Less than two kilometres from the Bellagio Fountains, Desert Rose Resort delivers condo-style living at a rate that most Strip hotels cannot touch. One and two-bedroom suites come with full kitchens, private balconies and a pool area with fire pits that makes evenings easy to plan.
