I Stayed at Every Luxury Hotel in Las Vegas! Here Are The 10 Best ✅

#lasvegas #vegas #besthotels
Over the last 18 months I stayed in every luxury hotel in Las Vegas for a minimum of three nights. Considering the rooms, grounds, pools, restaurants, bars/lounges, shopping, location and overall experience - these are the top 10. These are absolutely the best hotels in Las Vegas.

What's up everyone? Remember, this is a list of the best luxury hotels, not the most luxurious hotels - a subtle yet important difference. This list was so clear and straightforward for me EXCEPT for numbers 3 & 4, which ultimately came down to personal preference based on pools, restaurant portfolio, bars/lounges, freshness, modernness, dexterity and exclusivity. What's your #1 hotel in Las Vegas?

[@JontyConway]

Where would the Waldorf Astoria sit?

[@mathieucote6436]

Easy encore all the way

[@Coolist]

@@JontyConway In terms of sheer class and luxury, it's a solid top 5. It's just so hard to compare full-blown casino/resorts with condo hotels because the attributes and metrics are completely different.

[@terrycrawford4829]

I think you nailed it with the top10 - the order was pretty close for me, would move a couple around on the list. For the #1, you are spot on. Wynn/Encore no question is the best luxury hotel, and my favorite in Vegas. Great video, as always.

[@JontyConway]

@@Coolist I'm an idiot! missed you mentioning it in the beginning. Thanks :)

[@JoshuaHouk]

YO! Love how concise your reviews are! You get straight to the point, provide each place on the list an opportunity to shine, and you don't add any fluff to inflate the length of your video. Well done!

[@richardsharpe5878]

James what I really appreciate about you, is that you do these amazing videos as a single person. I was single for many years after getting divorced, so I know what it is like to travel alone. It is rewarding but also hard at the same time. I believe your videos inspire people who are alone, to get out there and travel. For those who are alone at the moment, don't let being alone hold you back... just get out there and live your best life.

[@Afineaddition]

I did a lot of solo travel in 2021 and I agree with your statement

[@jimmyhuynh6049]

good luck to you Richard; the world is your oyster !

[@NannaP27]

Thanks for the encouragement! Making my first solo trip to Vegas, super excited!

[@agreatmannamedlieu]

Well, yeah if you struggle with picking up women or networking.

[@richardsharpe5878]

@@agreatmannamedlieu I don't struggle with either of those issues. I've now got an amazing wife and an awesome life. But I was alone for while. A lot of people are alone for one reason or another, and that number is growing. So I have compassion for those who are going through that in their lives.

[@jeremyepstein7977]

My man I really appreciate your channel. You have taste and your reviews are properly honest and on-point. Even if our lists might be slightly different your rationale is always there. Not like some YT travel videos who just like everything they see and clearly don't understand luxury hotels and how to evaluate them. Also you know how to enjoy and travel well, unlike some vloggers who clearly go to bed at 9p when in Vegas.

[@a761506]

Nice job, everything was relevant and straightforward to the point, much appreciated.

Very interesting how you rated these properties. You really did your homework. I only stay at Wynn Encore . You can get nice rooms and good service in any luxury hotel but Wynn Encore take it to the next level . Every inch of that property is thought out and every restaurant is superb . As I have written before Mizumi is phenomenal. Nicely done

[@lisamarando7992]

[@jl-vs8ki]

I thank you so much! You got a follower! You really do care for your audience!

[@phrewilly8556]

Excellent list! We are very partial to the Venetian/Palazzo! For such a large resort they do so much right from rooms to dining and the casino!

[@samanthaluangviseth7484]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@thewesternmind]

Totally agree with Wynn/Encore. First time I stayed there I couldn’t believe how nice it was. And the best part, the staff made me feel welcome. That’s what keeps me coming back. I am not just a customer there; I’m a guest.

[@expensivetechnology9963]

Superb editing and calm confident voice work. Bravo.

[@RobertBrownbrowncone]

Great video!

[@jacobcorona8199]

I think your list is spot on! I’m glad you put Crockfords at #3, their suites are just insanely nice. I personally love staying there but I don’t think they quite beat the top dogs Venetian/Palazzo and Wynn/Encore.

[@victorledezma6652]

As someone who has worked several years at Wynn, Encore, Resorts World (opening)- this list is pretty spot on. I couldn’t agree more and the reasons are legit. You’ve done your research sir.

[@leobarajas8211]

Haha. Exactly my top 2 in the same order. Great job on video

[@williamblackledge1406]

Great list James, no surprises at the top.

[@Yolduranduran]

Thanks CAB 🤝

[@codlivestudios]

My family used to stay exclusively at the Wynn/encore back in the day when encore was still being built. They must’ve sold my moms info to Venetian/palazzo cause we got a mailer and never looked back. Been staying at Palazzo exclusively for over 12 years now. It’s my absolute favorite and we have the best hosts. Now that I’m of gambling age my friends absolutely love the resort and it changed their minds from its just a place to sleep to now your hotel experience actually matters haha. Side note, I occasionally stay at cosmo cause some friends prefer that scene and you were spot on w your review. Gotta check back in on Wynn/encore one day tho.

[@VegasYouTuberSteve]

I've done 3 out of your 10. Cosmopolitan, Venetian and the Circa. All from your recommendations James! 👍

[@wildcard2741]

Those are some really solid picks 👌

[@HookandArrow]

Really good list. I for the most part agree with it as a whole. Only thing I think you have to take into consideration is where you want to spend your time. For me I always end up at Cosmo.. I love the bars, the casino and that there are some affordable restaurants. So even tho I can see Wynn is much nicer, I am not as drawn to wynn or may of the others mentioned. But the good news is that all of them are awesome so everyone can decide for themselves ha

[@tony-ce7qp]

i have never been there but before i go i will check in with you,as i am sure many people do!

[@overkillblackjack2910]

Excellent video. To the point, great shots. Would you please elaborate on how the best luxury hotels differs from the most luxurious hotels? For example, are they "best" because, for the money, they are still luxurious? I am confused though because when someone says the best luxury hotels, many would indeed logically expect the most luxurious, so it would make the video even more awesome if you verbalized the distinction. Would you please reply with the distinction? (Forgive me please if I missed it you explaining the distinction somewhere.).

[@Jiggy609]

My first time in Vegas in 2021 I stayed at the Venetian and it was incredible. I'm returning to Vegas this August and will be staying at the Palazzo one bedroom suite for my friend's bachelor party

Thanks alot for all that info. Many youtubers waste time (4 ex) by explaining how many garbage cans hotel has and it's amazing how fast you explained with all useful info

[@bethanyarnp8852]

Encore was life changing for me. Anyone can throw a nice hotel together, but for me it’s about quality, service, and experience. How it makes you feel. At encore I feel like I’m the only person there. It seems like a group effort there, I don’t have one server, it’s more like a team there. The only thing I can’t figure out is that I saw their pet menu and apparently they are no pet. I have a teacup chihuahua and I’m there all the time. The kennel is good and the people are nice it would just be cool if I could bring her once, idk that’s kinda controversial to bring pets but I can see why.

[@Coolist]

The Pro-pet policy at Wynn didn't last long...

How recently did you stay at Venetian? Going in July with family. Is it clean? Any issues?

[@scotttild]

The rooms are so nice at Bellagio, the Solan Suits are reasonably prices, jetted tub, free wifi and lower resort fees then most. Its center strip great location. I cannot say enough about it. I really find no other reason to try other hotels. Wynn is my second choice but they charge like $25.00 per night for wifi which I have always hated. I have never had a bad stay at Bellagio.

[@kyuh4563]

Damn bro u must be living ur best life staying at these places i can only imagine the trouble ya got into ;) hahahaah great video cheers!

They all look Great. But the balcony view the cosmopolitan hotel offers🤙🗽🎡🗼

[@garyfelder5057]

Crockfords vs Waldorf Astoria? Thinking of going for 1 night. We are not heavy gamblers and love Cosmo. I have Hilton points to cover the entry King room for either so just wondering. Also thinking of going cheap and doing the Hilton at Resorts World as it's 30K points less. Any thoughts.. (btw next trip to Cancun would love to see an update on the JW vs Kempski vs Westin.

[@jamesw7624]

All the hotels look fantastic I’m planning on going for the first time this year and wanted a hotel in the middle of the strip. Any recommendations

[@larrybenton777]

I give the nod to Palazzo for all the reasons you list, but also the gigantic Canyon Ranch fitness center at Venetian that is free to all guests. Now its time for you to review those off strip casinos like M Resort, South Point, Red Rock, Green Valley, etc... It's like discovering an entire new Vegas.

[@andrearin8383]

The last time I went to las vegas was late 2023, I made it a point to walk in and out of every hotel on the strip and the venetian by far blew my mind away.

[@naturespirit33]

As you are not a gambler you should be made aware of what makes the Palazzo-Venetian the most special property in town. In a stadium setting where hundreds can play they have LIVE DEALER $5 baccarat, roulette, and blackjack. This is a huge advantage for players. Bet low when it's going bad, bet more when your hot. Combine this with all the amenities you mentioned and you have the the best place to play in town. You should do a video featuring the best places to gamble. Thank You.

[@floresva159]

Was looking forward to staying at Caesers but got there and the room was gross. Went down to the front desk to cancel my stay as I didn't want to switch rooms only for it to be the same and waste everyones time. First time I'd ever cancelled a room. The front desk was super understanding but I was bummed as I had always wanted to stay there.

[@diegog1291]

Service at Wynn/Encore is the best. They make everyone feel VIP.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

I keep forgetting there are so many really, really nice hotels in Las Vegas because I am always on such a tight budget when I go there!! Maybe someday...🙂

[@Nostalgic90s765]

I would easily have Cosmo over Aria and Bellagio. Maybe above V/P as well. I've stayed several times at all of them. Only haven't stayed at Wynncore, which I'll be staying at next week.

[@jamesrogan5831]

I like how an ad was looped into being the number one choice here

Caesars, Encore, Bellagio and Aria for me.

[@joec8321]

I stayed at Hilton resort world earlier this month .. the bed was super comfortable I couldn't believe I fell asleep all night which is strange to me that I usually can't sleep in the hotel bed...🎉

[@scungilliarrabbiata4333]

I had to laugh when you said “young energetic sexy crowds” for the Cosmo. I went there once and ate a plate of Hattie B’s fried chicken while sitting in that bathtub on one of the upper levels. Obviously you must’ve seen me there 😂

[@jamesw3801]

The Wynn’s location puts me off from staying there again. Cosmo is my go to for location and vibe.

[@Michael_Billig]

Hey James, I’ll be travelling to Vegas solo for the first time. Any suggestions for solo travel?

[@scotttild]

I am telling you Bellagio is the best for solo people I have found. Just has a different vibe. Some of the other like Aria are really couple driving IMO. Bellagio has free wifi, center strip and decent rates. I always stay at the Solon Suite which is a really nice room. Its also not too noisy. I have never had an issue with the noise at the Bellagio.

[@viajeconchuck7345]

havent you done different variations of this same list?

[@joelmartinez-zr3zm]

I love the Venetian, but I can say that I had a terrible experience at Palazzo. Bellagio will always be my number one I would’ve expect the Bellagio at least in top three.

[@Rio50520]

As a comped player at the MGM properties I always choose the Aria over the Bellagio. While the Bellagio hotel is great the casino is very meh for a hotel of its stature. Aria casino blows Bellagio's out the water imo. Way more hip, higher cielings, better games, livelier bars, more likely to play alongside celebrities, etc.

Would have been nice to include the price range for these hotels.

[@Ollie_Molly.]

[@johnlittle8267]

Obviously Bellagio is my favorite but I was surprised Cosmo wasn't higher on your list, I feel like you had it rated higher in a previous timeframe. Really enjoyed your Resorts World videos, you really had a great time. Good to see after so many reviews were negative when it opened. I agree that Caesars has really dropped off, my visit in September was disappointing, although I did not stay there. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these!!!

[@bethanyarnp8852]

The pool thing at Caesar’s is nuts. Are they still charging people hundreds of dollars for chairs or stand?? Crazy.

[@chrisanderson9981]

Cosmo has a great location and the best views, but their service isn't all that great. It's also a noisy property especially if you get a party or noisy neighbors on a terrace neighboring yours (even from inside). Then there's their security... horrific and lots of stories there. If a Wraparound Terrace with Fountain View is available though in the Boulevard Tower though, that is definitely one of their best, and the noise can likely be mostly avoided.

[@scotttild]

I agree with Bellagio, it the best location, reasonably priced still has free wifi and lower resort fees. Excellent room service also.

[@grownupgaming]

i like mandalay bay vibes

[@MACMAMI]

Yeah, without a doubt I still consider Wynn/Encore the very best among them, and that's coming from someone who also really loves Resorts World and most others listed here as well. 😍 I have a feeling Fontainebleau next year will be Wynn/Encore's staunchest competition yet in defending their title. Hopefully the former at the very least lives up to the hype if not leapfrogs them. 🙂 I have my doubts the forthcoming Dream will be a most threatening contender, but I can be proven wrong there too for sure and hope I am. 🥰

[@chrisanderson9981]

I agree about Wynn/Encore, it's awesome. I'm also curious about Fontainebleau. I'm just not crazy about the location. Encore is already too far north on The Strip for my personal tastes (I realize Resorts World is even farther though).

[@drathen1556]

I was a little disappointed with my 5 night stay (vacation) at the Wynn this past June. When I first arrived I parked the rental car in the garage and entered the building with my suitcase. Security quickly approached me and said they needed to search my tactical suitcase to make sure there were no weapons (I travel with a large Pelican 1620 case as my suitcase). I had to lay my case on the floor in the middle of the walkway, open it up for all to see, and let security rifle through my clothes. While the security officer was polite, professional, and apologized for the inconvenience I was still embarrassed and was left with a negative impression for the rest of my stay. If they had led me to a side room or somewhere out of public view then I would’ve felt much better about the ordeal.

[@JJbones88]

considering the recent history you can't blame them and using a pelican case for a suitcase in Vegas is a silly idea
