Detailed Reviews: The 20 Best Hotels to Stay in Las Vegas
1. GetAways at the Jockey Club
The Vibe
Sitting right in the heart of the Strip action, this aparthotel scores a 9.7 for location — you’re 200 meters from Crystals Shopping Center and 300 meters from the Bellagio Fountains. The booking volume speaks for itself: 2800+ reviews and still a 9.1. It’s a reliable center-of-it-all base.
What You Actually Get
Each unit comes with air-conditioning, a TV, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. You also get a kitchen and living area — useful for a quick meal before heading to the strip. The outdoor pool and hot tub offer a refreshing break from the casino noise. The real kicker: free private parking, which is basically gold dust on the Strip.
Choose this if: you want a reliable aparthotel in the middle of the Strip with the bonus of free parking.
2. Hilton Vacation Club Desert Retreat Las Vegas
The Vibe
Ten minutes from the Strip but a world away in pacing. This resort focuses on extended-stay comfort with full kitchens and in-room laundry — rare finds for Las Vegas. The 9.3 rating on 1650+ reviews signals consistent quality. Beds get high marks from guests for a solid night’s sleep.
What You Actually Get
Full kitchens with cooktops, in-unit washers and dryers, and separate living areas make this a legitimate home base for longer stays. The property runs two pool zones: a family pool with a whirlpool and an adult-only pool. A game room with billiards, a 24-hour fitness center, and a barbecue area round out the amenities. Parking is free, and you’re two miles from Allegiant Stadium.
Choose this if: you’re staying 3+ nights and want to cook, do laundry, and avoid Strip crowds.

3. Home2 Suites By Hilton Las Vegas Northwest

The property balances business functionality (work desks, sofa beds) with leisure (swimming pool, fitness center).
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with air-conditioning, full kitchen facilities, free WiFi, a work desk, and a sofa bed — covering both work and family needs.

5. Durango Casino & Resort
The Vibe
The newest casino-resort on this list, Durango brings 5-star rooms with mountain or city views into the southwest valley.

What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, free WiFi, and comfortable seating areas. Mountain-view rooms face the Red Rock Canyon direction — a quieter alternative to the neon canyon of the Strip.

6. Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts at Resorts World
The Vibe
Crockfords sits at the top of Resorts World’s luxury pyramid — 230 guest rooms and suites with personalized service that’s genuinely different from the volume-focused Strip giants. The 9.2 rating from 150+ reviews suggests this isn’t just marketing hype. You get full access to Resorts World’s casino, spa, and fitness center.
What You Actually Get

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these Las Vegas hotels?
Pet policies vary. Hyatt Place Las Vegas at Silverton Village (#4) allows dogs with advance notice. Single Story minutes from Summerlin (#15) is also dog-friendly. Most other properties on this list do not mention pets in their policies — confirm directly at booking. If you’re traveling with a pet, filter specifically for these two.
Which hotels offer free cancellation?
Most properties on this list offer free cancellation within a specific window — typically 24-48 hours before check-in. However, exact policies vary by property and rate type. Look for “free cancellation” tags at the top of each listing when booking. Hilton Vacation Club Desert Retreat (#2) and Home2 Suites (#3) generally offer flexible cancellation on standard rates.
What’s the best area to stay in Las Vegas for first-time visitors?
The Strip is the classic choice for first-timers — properties like GetAways at the Jockey Club (#1, 9.7 location) and Hilton Club Elara (#7, 9.6 location) put you in walking distance of Bellagio Fountains, the Eiffel Tower, and CityCenter. For a quieter introduction, the Summerlin or Henderson areas offer a more relaxed pace with easy Strip access.
How do I get from Harry Reid International Airport to these hotels?
Rideshares and taxis are the most common options — expect $15-$40 depending on your destination. Most Strip properties (#1, #6, #7, #9-11, #14, #18, #20) are a 5-10 minute drive. Properties in Summerlin (#15) or Northwest (#3) run 20-30 minutes. Several properties offer free on-site parking if you’re picking up a rental car.
Do any of these properties have no resort fees?
Yes — No Resort Fee Strip View Balcony+ Valet Parking (#11) and No Resort Fee Strip View Balcony+ Free Valet+ Pool (#18) are specifically advertised with no resort fees. The aparthotel and apartment-style stays (like #1, #8, #9, #12, #13, #15-17) typically don’t charge resort fees either, as they operate outside the traditional Strip hotel system.
What’s the most walkable area if I don’t have a car?
The central Strip around Harmon Avenue and East Flamingo Road is the most walkable. Properties
The central Strip around Harmon Avenue and East Flamingo Road is the most walkable. Properties like SPHERE IN 4K (#9, 9.7 location), Idyllic Suite (#14, 9.7 location), and MGM Signature units (#10, #11, #18, #20) have easy walking access to the Bellagio Fountains, Eiffel Tower, and Crystals Shopping Center.
