Be Pampered and Treated Like a High Roller at These Ten Luxury Vegas Hotels



While you're in Vegas, you can stay at a hotel that gives you a great deal on a functional room, or you can choose a property with rooms so plush that you may be tempted to stay in and order room service. If you're leaning toward the luxury accommodations, you'll find a wealth of multi-star hotels to choose from.

The newer luxury hotels on the Strip have abandoned the elaborate themes of bygone eras and adopted a sleek, modern look. The Wynn and Encore, Aria, Trump, and Four Seasons are dedicated to offering guests large rooms, superior room amenities, and first-class on-site restaurants and shops. If there's a theme here, you might call it "elegant and award winning."

Not all luxury hotels have decided that less is more in the design department. The Venetian and Palazzo bring a touch of Old World Italy to the Las Vegas Strip, and they've made sure to include the opulence of this former time. Suites, an award-winning spa, and an extensive collection of first-class shops and restaurants give guests the option to go first-class in everything they do in Vegas.

The hip and modern Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas puts a new spin on luxury, a just left-of-center kind of spin, with a three-story chandelier bar, modern art, and noted restaurants. The rooms are tasteful and well-appointed, and some include balconies. Nearby, the ultra-luxurious Mandarin Oriental offers guests a West meets Old Shanghai feeling. You won't find a casino here, but you will find a refined atmosphere that almost feels like you aren't in Vegas at all.

The Bellagio's Italian ambiance was inspired by Lake Como, the photogenic area in Italy that frequently serves as a backdrop in movies. The Las Vegas Bellagio has likewise become an iconic symbol of the luxury Las Vegas hotel, making its fair share of appearances on film. While the fountains in front of the hotel wow guests with their synchronized dance, the rooms deliver a different kind of wow. First-class amenities include 40-inch flat screen HDTVs, a work station, media hub, iHome docking station, wireless Internet, quality linens and robes, and a cashmere pillow top mattress. A renovation was completed in 2012 to give all the rooms a face lift, including the addition of two new designs featuring updated color palettes.
