Las Vegas
Las Vegas is the desert's great improbability: a city conjured from neon and nerve that has continually reinvented itself, most recently as a genuine capital of entertainment, sport and fine dining. The spectacle remains — fountains, residencies, a sphere that ranks among the world's strangest buildings — but the substance has caught up.
Luxury in Vegas means suites the size of apartments, pool complexes engineered like resorts within resorts, and a concentration of celebrated chefs unmatched between the coasts. Add world-championship fights, Formula 1 and headline residencies, and the city has become an events destination of the first order.
The best hotels in Las Vegas
Best areas to stay
The Strip (Center)
The heart of the boulevard holds the flagship mega-resorts, marquee restaurants and the fountains — maximum Vegas, minimum walking.
The Strip (South)
Newer resort campuses near the arena and stadium district suit sports and show-goers, with some of the city's best pool scenes.
Downtown & Fremont East
Vintage neon, revitalised cocktail bars and a rawer energy give downtown its cult following among repeat visitors.
Dining & nightlife
Vegas dining has become a serious pursuit, with outposts from many of the world's most celebrated chefs alongside stellar off-Strip finds in Chinatown. Nightlife spans mega-clubs, residency theatres and speakeasy cocktail rooms. Book restaurants and shows before you fly.
Travelling as a family
Beyond the casino floors, families find surprising range: cirque spectaculars, the Sphere's immersive shows, gondola rides and day trips to the Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon. Choose resorts with dedicated pool areas and non-gaming towers for an easier stay with children.
Travelling as a couple
Couples can play Vegas glamorous or kitsch — champagne at a fountain-view table, a private cabana day, a helicopter swing over the Grand Canyon, even a just-for-fun vow renewal. High-floor Strip-view suites do the rest.
