Best High End Hotels in Las Vegas

List Author: Hunter
Description: This is a list of the best of the best, in no particular order.
  • Wynn Las Vegas - The best of the best. Steve Wynn tops his previous creations with this masterpiece.
  • Bellagio - If you’re looking to be taken care of, Bellagio is a great spot. The rooms aren’t as large as some of its newer brethren but the service is great – everyone is very friendly.
  • The Mirage - I love this hotel and despite being a bit aged, if you want to spend the dough this place can still seriously deliver. The high end suites are top notch.
  • Caesars Palace - With the Augustus Tower joining the line-up along with the Palace Tower, Caesars is opulence defined.
  • MGM Grand - Whoa, I’m serious. MGM has the Mansion and now the Skylofts. Serious accommodations.
  • THEHotel at Mandalay Bay - This one is included because I like the room decor. I still don’t like a lot of things about THEHotel and Mandalay Bay but the rooms are pretty neat.
  • Treasure Island - Some of the high end rooms here are just that – high end. Of course the place is more famous for pirates and good deals on the weekends but TI can handle the high end players too.
  • Golden Nugget - Downtown’s nicest property, some of the suites are top notch. While they’re not going after high-end business anyone, the Nugget is still a very nice property.
  • Four Seasons - I missed this the first time around but it should be here. The rooms aren’t that special but the service lives up to the reputation.

    I agree that MGM Grand should be on the best of the best list. In my past trip reports and other comments, I always conclude that MGM Grand is successful in attracting and satisfying all market segments from tour groups to the highest of the high end players. The Mansion is unique and will never be replicated at any other property. Skylofts are very 21st century, The West Wing proves you can make a silk purse from a sow’s ear, and now, the suites in the Residences at MGM Grand will add another dimension to the property. And, where else can you find one (actually two) of the best restaurants in the world, Joel Robuchon?

    My only disappoinment in MGM Grand is in the Grand Tower’s room decor and furnishings. Even the suites are very cheap looking.

    What about Four Seasons? Although the rooms are now starting to look a little threadbare, the service is tops and it still has the cache of a first class resort. Not to mention great views, especially at night. A quiet and elegant lobby, great restaurant, and intimate pool area are all attractive to me. The fact that it is on top of Mandalay makes it better than Ritz Carlton since you can walk out the door and be in the middle of the typical Vegas action.

    Off-strip, I really like the JW Marriott. Rooms and service are first-rate, with a great spa, pool area, and adjacent to my favorite Vegas golf course (TPC Canyons). The small but very comfortable Rampart casino is geared to the locals market, so expect reasonable table limits and friendly dealers.

    By the way MGM recently purchased a small fleet of Maybachs for their guests.

    I have to disagree on TI their VIP lounge is weak… Just walk on over to the Mirage!

    Caesar’s Palace? You’ve got to be kidding. The older wings are just that: old and so very ordinary. The new Augustus tower does have some nice suites, but the service is far below par and the prices are too high for what is offered. Biggest peeve: none of their service people (housekeeping, room service, etc) speak english.

    The best thing about the place is the pools and Elton and Celine and the shops. Otherwise….. forget it. And it’s only a short walk across the overpass to the Bellagio….

    I agree on Caesars- the Studio Suite I had in the Palace Tower was nice, and the pool is classic Vegas cheese (with Cleopatra and Caesar roaming around)...but I detest the layout (all the add on towers are scattered to hell and breakfast and mixed in with shopping/the Forum), the dealers didn’t grandfather you in when limits went up, and it just left me flat.

    Maybe they lavish all the love on the hiiiiigh rawwwlllers, but I don’t feel a particular desire to go back like I would the Venetian (I know y’all pan the place, but I like it) or theHotel.

    What about the Ritz-Carlton on Lake Las Vegas? Haven’t stayed there but I did check it out once after a trip to Lake Mead…tres swank, and the prices are considerably better than Strip hotels (of course, since there’s no gambling, you won’t get comped, but it looks like a very good luxury hotel).

    There’s a pretty good list of the “pecking order” of strip resorts in this Sunday’s Las Vegas Sun at http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/gaming/2006/feb/26/566624990.html

    It’s a little more objective than Hunter’s list—he puts Treasure Island where it belongs, for instance.

    Yeah, Mike, I can agree with that Sun list in toto. Stayed at the Ballagio last weekend and all things being equal, would probably pick it over the Venetian (not sure about theHotel, though).

    I guess next would be Wynn…
