Top 10 Hotels in Las Vegas

In Vegas a hotel is much more than the place you fall asleep in your clothes at 5AM. Vegas hotels are generally a combination of resort, gourmet food court and 21+ amusement park. Here, where you stay can determine your whole Vegas experience - even more than which striped shirt you decide to wear.

  1. Caesars Palace

    Caesars Palace. Is there a name that better evokes classic Vegas than this one? It’s pretty much a standing Vegas cliché: built with mob money, dogged by corruption charges throughout

  2. Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

    Sure there’s been bigger and more expensive additions to the Strip since it opened back in 1999 (which might as well be B.C.E. in this town), but the Bay has somehow remained relevant. A

  3. MGM Grand Las Vegas

    With appearances in both Ocean’s Eleven and Swingers (Trent: So, what'd you think of that Dorothy girl? Mike: The whole Judy Garland thing kinda turned me on), the MGM

  4. Hard Rock Hotel and Casino

    While one can avoid the strollers and screaming toddlers at most other Vegas casinos, the Hard Rock is the one place where there won’t likely be any to begin with (the place is called

  5. The Palazzo

    The Palazzo is the cooler, classier sister of the Venetian, though visitors to it can still sample the goodies of big sis. So what if the Palazzo lacks a fake canal with campy gondolas? The

  6. Wynn Las Vegas

    The Wynn is like the Cadillac of the Strip hotel-casinos, and we mean that in the nicest possible way. It’s total luxury (flat screens in the rooms and the bathrooms – and the

  7. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

    The Cosmopolitan joined a crowded field at the end of 2010. But despite the competition, this spot has a great location: with the new City Center on one side and the Bellagio on the other, the

  8. Bellagio

    The Bellagio is like the smaller, slicker version of Caesars: Same great real estate (right in the heart of the Strip’s action) and same Roman-esque theme (which is, let’s face it,

  9. Aria at City Center

    Modeled on the Skylofts at MGM’s other hotel down the street (MGM Grand), the rooms at the Aria are pretty pimp. We especially like that everything in the room -- the 42-inch plasma TV,

  10. Palms Casino Resort

    The Palms must have seemed like a hard sell when it opened in 2001. Located about a mile west of the Vegas Strip, the only newish offering off the Strip was the Hard Rock. Would the free-spending
