Title: I’ve Stayed at Every Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip — These Are My 5 Favorites
My husband and I love Las Vegas so much that we got married there in 2018. Since then, we’ve returned frequently and have stayed at nearly every hotel on the Strip. Over the years, we’ve discovered a handful of resorts that stand out above the rest — whether for their pools, family-friendly amenities, or luxurious atmosphere.
Here are our five favorite hotels in Las Vegas:
1. Mandalay Bay: A Pool Paradise
Located on the southern end of the Strip, Mandalay Bay is worth the extra distance for its incredible pool complex alone. The resort boasts an 11-acre aquatic playground, complete with a lazy river, wave pool, and the Moorea Beach Club — an adults-only, tops-optional area with cabanas and daybeds.
Beyond the pools, Mandalay Bay offers attractions like the Shark Reef Aquarium. Even the standard rooms are spacious and bright, featuring 550 square feet and floor-to-ceiling windows.
2. NoMad Las Vegas: Stylish and Serene
NoMad is a boutique-style hotel occupying the top floors of Park MGM. It offers a more intimate, luxurious experience with a moody, elegant design. The rooms feature hardwood floors, curated artwork, and upscale touches that make them feel more like high-end apartments than hotel rooms.
One of NoMad’s best features is its private pool, available only to guests. It’s a peaceful escape from the hustle of the Strip, yet guests can still access Park MGM’s larger pool area when desired.
3. Vdara: Ideal for Families and Non-Gamblers
Vdara stands out as one of the few casino-free resorts on the Strip, making it a great option for families, business travelers, or anyone looking for a quieter stay. Its modern suites come with full kitchens, offering a home-like feel.
The hotel also offers stunning views of the Bellagio fountains and vibrant Vegas sunsets through its large windows. And if you’re in the mood for gaming, nearby casinos like Aria, Bellagio, and Cosmopolitan are just a short walk away.
4. Flamingo: Best Budget-Friendly Option
The Flamingo is a classic Vegas hotel that offers excellent value and a prime location in the heart of the Strip. It’s close to the monorail, the High Roller Ferris wheel, and shopping at the LINQ Promenade.
The hotel’s outdoor garden and Wildlife Habitat — complete with real Chilean flamingoes — are charming touches. The adults-only GO Pool has a lively day club vibe, with music, waterfalls, and even outdoor craps tables. The Flamingo also features great dining options, including Bugsy & Meyer’s, a vintage-style steakhouse.
5. Wynn Las Vegas: My All-Time Favorite
Of all the hotels we’ve stayed at, the Wynn (and its sister property, Encore) is our top choice. The rooms are modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with features like high-end stemware, tablets for room controls, and excellent room service.
Dining at the Wynn is always a highlight. The resort offers a wide range of upscale restaurants, including one of the few remaining buffets on the Strip. A personal favorite is SW Steakhouse, where we enjoy dinner followed by the lakeside light and multimedia show.
