CITY GUIDE · LAS VEGAS
15 resorts across the Strip and Summerlin, with reference rates and perks from the hotel.
Most first-time visitors are happiest on the Center Strip around Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, ARIA and Park MGM: the fountains, CityCenter and the T-Mobile Arena district are close, and the CityCenter tram links ARIA and Crystals. CityCenter (ARIA, Vdara, Waldorf Astoria) suits travellers who want a modern, walkable base, with Vdara and Waldorf Astoria as calmer non-gaming options. The south Strip (Mandalay Bay, Four Seasons, W Las Vegas) works for pool days, families and events at Mandalay Bay. The north Strip (Wynn and Encore, Resorts World, Fontainebleau) is quieter and fits golf, newer resorts and trips to the Las Vegas Convention Center. Summerlin, where JW Marriott sits, is west of the Strip and suits guests who want golf, a spa and Red Rock Canyon nearby.
Reference rates: nightly, 2 adults in one room, before tax, across four dates a year; from about US$107 a night. Compare all Las Vegas hotels with perks in one table: Las Vegas reference rates.
