The best luxury hotels in Las Vegas split into two camps: big casino resorts with a Forbes-rated suite tower inside, and quiet, casino-free hotels where the lobby has no slot machines at all. Here’s how ten of them compare on ratings, room size, spas and the fees that still apply at the top end.
Quick answer
Wynn Las Vegas is the best luxury hotel in Las Vegas: Forbes Travel Guide rates its Tower Suites, spa and Wing Lei restaurant Five-Star, and hotel guests self-park free. For a casino-free stay, book the Four Seasons (Forbes Four-Star, with a Five-Star spa) or the Waldorf Astoria. For a top suite on the center Strip, ARIA Sky Suites hold a Forbes Five-Star rating.

1. Wynn Las Vegas: Best Overall Luxury
Best Overall Luxury
Wynn Las Vegas
- Free guest self-parking
- Five-Star Tower Suites & spa
- Wynn Golf Club
- Lake of Dreams
Wynn holds more Forbes Five-Star ratings than any other hotel here: the Wynn Tower Suites (Wynn says for the 20th consecutive year), The Spa at Wynn and Wing Lei, a Cantonese restaurant inside the Tower Suites. The main hotel is Forbes Four-Star, standard rooms measure 640 square feet, and registered guests self-park free.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Book a Tower Suite to get the Five-Star product: separate registration and elevators, a private pool, a $50 daily breakfast credit and complimentary valet or self-parking. Tower Suites run from a 640-square-foot king to the 1,817-square-foot Salon, and the Fairway Villas (2,411 and 3,224 square feet) come with butler service. The resort adds its own par-70 golf course by Tom and Logan Fazio, the free Lake of Dreams show, and SW Steakhouse and Mizumi, both Forbes Four-Star. Our Wynn Las Vegas review has the full breakdown.
Watch out for: add-on charges for pool seating, the minibar and breakfast, long check-in lines at busy times and service that some Tower Suites guests call transactional. The resort fee is reported at $55 plus tax (as of October 2026); Wynn doesn’t publish the figure, but it lists self-parking for up to two vehicles, Wi-Fi, daily bottled water and gym access for two among the inclusions.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
2. Encore at Wynn Las Vegas: Best Standard Rooms
Best Standard Rooms
Encore at Wynn Las Vegas
- Free guest self-parking
- Encore Beach Club (21+)
- XS Nightclub
- Vegas Loop station
Encore’s standard rooms measure 745 square feet, about 100 more than Wynn’s, with a separate sitting area and a marble bath with a tub and separate shower. Encore Tower Suites and The Spa at Encore are both Forbes Five-Star, and the hotel itself is Four-Star.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Encore Tower Suites add an exclusive entrance and registration lobby, twice-daily housekeeping, a $50 daily breakfast credit and complimentary valet or self-parking. Sinatra is a Forbes Four-Star Italian restaurant, and Wynn says Casa Playa’s chef, Sarah Thompson, won the 2026 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest. Encore Beach Club (21+) and XS Nightclub are on site, and the Vegas Loop station at Encore runs to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Watch out for: the spa’s sauna, steam and wet areas, temporarily unavailable as of October 2026 (treatment prices are $45 lower in the meantime), and Encore’s European pool and Jacuzzi, listed as closed. Guests on some floors hear Encore Beach Club late into the night.
3. ARIA: Best Suites on the Center Strip
Best Suites on the Center Strip
ARIA Resort & Casino
- Modern, tech-forward rooms
- Forbes Five-Star spa
- LIQUID Pool Lounge (21+)
- Steps from Bellagio
ARIA Sky Suites earned their 14th Forbes Five-Star rating in 2026: suites of 1,050 to 2,060 square feet, renovated at the end of 2021, plus Sky Villas of 2,000 to 7,000 square feet. The Spa at ARIA, 80,000 square feet over two floors, is Five-Star for the eighth consecutive year.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
The rest of ARIA is sleek CityCenter modern: tech-forward rooms with touchscreen controls and blackout curtains that guests credit for good sleep, the 21+ LIQUID Pool Lounge, a public art collection that includes Maya Lin’s “Silver River” behind the front desk, and restaurants from Gymkhana, MICHELIN-selected in 2026, to CATCH and Carbone. The free Aria Express tram reaches Bellagio and Park MGM.
Watch out for: no in-room coffee maker or usable fridge (the minibar runs on sensors), high dining prices, long check-in waits and occasional room-tech glitches. The resort fee is $55 plus tax, and self-parking costs hotel guests $20 a day (as of October 2026).
4. Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas: Best Casino-Free Luxury
Best Casino-Free Luxury
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas
- No casino
- Smoke-free
- Five-Star spa
- Private pool + Mandalay Bay Beach
No casino, no smoking and a private entrance: the 424-room Four Seasons occupies five floors of the Mandalay Bay complex, with its own elevators. Forbes Travel Guide rates the hotel Four-Star and The Spa & Nail Bar Five-Star.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Rooms start at 500 square feet, housekeeping comes twice a day and in-room dining runs 24 hours. The seasonal private pool has eight cabanas and hourly treats such as fruit skewers and popsicles, and guests also get Mandalay Bay Beach’s wave pool and lazy river next door. Families get kids’ amenities, cribs and babysitting through the concierge, up to two dogs or cats of 25 pounds or less stay free, and Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is on site.
Watch out for: a resort fee nobody has pinned down. Las Vegas Advisor listed $55 in June 2025, while some 2026 blogs claim there’s none, so read the total in the booking engine. Parking is valet-only, guests say the extras add up, and the far-south location puts the center Strip a ride away.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
5. Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas: Best for Couples
Best for Couples
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
- No casino
- Smoke-free
- Peacock Alley tea lounge
- Four-Star spa
A non-gaming, non-smoking hotel of fewer than 400 rooms in CityCenter, with afternoon tea at Peacock Alley in the former 23rd-floor Sky Lobby and an eighth-floor deck with three pools. Travel + Leisure readers voted it the No. 1 hotel in Las Vegas in the magazine’s 2026 World’s Best Awards.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
A 2021–2024 renovation removed the old Asian theme and moved the lobby to ground level. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and standalone soaking tubs, per Forbes Travel Guide, which rates the 27,000-square-foot spa Four-Star and the hotel Recommended; older lists that call it Five-Star date from its Mandarin Oriental years. The $55-plus-tax resort fee (as of October 2026) includes house-car rides within three miles, overnight shoeshine and two bottles of water a day, and the Aria Express tram’s CityCenter station serves the hotel.
Watch out for: valet-only parking at $45 a day (as of October 2026), expensive afternoon tea and dining, and some worn details in rooms.
6. Bellagio: Best Classic Luxury
Best Classic Luxury
Bellagio Las Vegas
- Fountain-view rooms
- Conservatory & gardens
- Five-pool courtyard
- "O" by Cirque du Soleil
Fountain-view rooms over an 8.5-acre lake, the free Conservatory and “O” give Bellagio its classic Las Vegas glamour. The 4,000-square-foot Chairman Suite comes with a full-time butler, and Marriott Bonvoy sells the hotel as part of its Luxury Collection.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Dining is the other draw. Carbone Riviera opened in November 2025 with lakeside terraces over the fountains, and Michael Mina is Forbes Four-Star and MICHELIN-selected. Le Cirque, which earned its 10th straight Forbes Five-Star rating in February 2026, closed in August 2026, so ignore older lists that still name it. Our Bellagio review covers both towers.
Watch out for: Spa Bellagio, closed for a full remodel since March 2026 (reopening targeted for November 2026), plus cigarette smoke in the casino, crowded check-in at peak times, and a $55-plus-tax resort fee with $20-a-day self-parking.
7. Fontainebleau Las Vegas: Best New Luxury Resort
Best New Luxury Resort
Fontainebleau Las Vegas
- Opened December 2023
- Seven pools incl. LIV Beach
- LIV Nightclub
- Vegas Loop station
The north Strip’s newest luxury resort opened in December 2023: a 67-story tower with seven pools across six acres, LIV Nightclub, the LIV Beach dayclub and the 55,000-square-foot Lapis Spa with 44 treatment rooms. Hotel guests self-park free, according to the resort’s parking page.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Suites climb from the Executive and Panorama categories to the Royal and Fleur de Lis Suites, though we couldn’t verify their sizes. Restaurants include Papi Steak, Don’s Prime, the French La Fontaine and ITO, a 12-seat omakase counter, and guests praise the modern design and spotless rooms. Read the Fontainebleau review for more.
Watch out for: no listing on Forbes Travel Guide’s Las Vegas star-rating page, charges for water, coffee and pool loungers, and uneven service in recent reviews. The $55 resort fee comes from 2026 fee guides, not the hotel, so confirm it when you book.
8. The Venetian Resort: Best Luxury Value
Best Luxury Value
The Venetian Resort Las Vegas
- All-suite rooms
- Indoor bridge to Sphere
- Two guest-only pool decks
- World of Hyatt hotel
Every standard room is a suite: the remodeled Venetian-tower suites run 650 to 750 square feet, and The Palazzo’s Luxury King Suite, with a sunken living room and Roman tub, measures 720. Forbes Travel Guide rates both The Venetian and The Palazzo Four-Star.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
The 134,000-square-foot Canyon Ranch spa is Forbes Four-Star, CUT by Wolfgang Puck is a Four-Star restaurant, and newer arrivals include COTE Korean Steakhouse and Bazaar Meat by José Andrés. World of Hyatt members have earned and redeemed points here since January 2025, and Prestige Club Lounge upgrades are available in both towers. See our Venetian review.
Watch out for: long walks, no in-room coffee makers, and Palazzo suites still waiting on the upgrades due to start in 2026. The resort fee is $55 plus tax, and self-parking is $20 a day for guests (as of October 2026).
9. Crockfords Las Vegas: Best for Hilton Honors Members
Best for Hilton Honors Members
Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts
- Forbes Four-Star
- Private pool
- Hilton LXR brand
- Resorts World campus
Resorts World’s most exclusive hotel is Forbes Four-Star: 332 rooms, suites, villas and palaces from 550 to 7,000 square feet, with its own entrance and lobby, a private pool and 24-hour Luxury Ambassador service. It belongs to Hilton’s LXR brand.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Crockfords guests share the 5.5-acre pool complex, including the 21+ Athena Infinity Ultra Pool, plus the Forbes Four-Star AWANA Spa and Kusa Nori, a Four-Star Japanese restaurant. A Vegas Loop station on the property runs to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Watch out for: the fee-and-app friction guests mention across Resorts World: a $55-plus-tax resort fee, self-parking listed at $21 a day (as of October 2026), slow check-in and digital-key glitches.
10. Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace: Best Boutique Luxury
Best Boutique Luxury
Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace
- Boutique tower
- Nobu restaurant
- Apollo Pool access
- Caesars Palace amenities
A 182-room hotel inside Caesars Palace with its own check-in and concierge, priority seating at the Nobu restaurant and the Apollo Pool, reserved for Nobu and Seven Stars guests. Caesars bills it as the world’s first Nobu Hotel, and AAA rates it Four Diamond.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Suite guests get a Porsche house car within 10 miles, subject to availability, and Penthouse and Villa guests get Escalade airport transfers and butler service. At the top sits the Nobu Villa, a 10,300-square-foot, three-bedroom rooftop villa. Restaurant Guy Savoy and the Garden of the Gods pools are part of the same resort; our Caesars Palace review covers the rest.
Watch out for: 350-square-foot Deluxe rooms, a 4 PM check-in and a $54.95-plus-tax resort fee (as of October 2026). App check-in may still send you to the front desk for a Nobu tower assignment.
Which Las Vegas hotels are Forbes Five-Star?
In Las Vegas, Forbes Travel Guide’s Five-Star hotel ratings go to suite towers inside bigger resorts rather than to the resorts themselves. Its current Five-Star awards include:
| Category | Forbes Five-Star in Las Vegas |
|---|---|
| Hotels | Wynn Tower Suites, Encore Tower Suites, ARIA Sky Suites, SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand |
| Spas | The Spa at Wynn, The Spa at Encore, The Spa at ARIA, The Spa & Nail Bar at Four Seasons |
| Restaurants | Wing Lei (Wynn), Joël Robuchon (MGM Grand), Restaurant Guy Savoy (Caesars Palace) |
Wynn, Encore, The Venetian, The Palazzo, Four Seasons and Crockfords are Forbes Four-Star hotels, and The Cosmopolitan, Waldorf Astoria and Conrad are Forbes Recommended. Caesars Palace is AAA Four Diamond, while its villa collection, THE VILLAS, earned AAA Five Diamond in 2025 and holds a Forbes Four-Star rating. Ratings change every year, so check Forbes Travel Guide’s Las Vegas page before you pay extra for a star.
Best suites and villas
| Suite or villa | Hotel | Size (sq ft) | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wynn Tower Suites | Wynn Las Vegas | 640–1,817 | Forbes Five-Star; private pool, $50 daily breakfast credit |
| Encore Tower Suites | Encore | 745–2,261 | Forbes Five-Star; private entrance, twice-daily housekeeping |
| ARIA Sky Suites | ARIA | 1,050–2,060 | Forbes Five-Star; Sky Villas run 2,000–7,000 |
| SKYLOFTS | MGM Grand | 1,400–6,000 | Forbes Five-Star; two-story lofts, 24-hour butler |
| THE VILLAS | Caesars Palace | Up to 11,850 | AAA Five Diamond (2025); 24-hour butler |
| Nobu Villa | Nobu Hotel | 10,300 | Three-bedroom rooftop villa |
| Fairway Villas | Wynn Las Vegas | 2,411–3,224 | Butler service; private patio or balcony |
Hotels don’t publish villa rates, so there’s no verified answer to which stay costs the most per night. By size, THE VILLAS at Caesars Palace, which added two Colosseum Presidential Villas and 29 Octavius Sky Villas in January 2026, and the Nobu Villa are the largest in this guide.
How to choose a luxury hotel in Las Vegas
- Decide on the casino. Four Seasons and Waldorf Astoria are non-gaming and non-smoking. Vdara and W Las Vegas are casino-free all-suite hotels a price level down, and Park MGM’s casino is smoke-free. Our guide to non-smoking hotels in Las Vegas goes deeper.
- Book the rated product. Five-Star ratings sit on suite towers, so a standard room at Wynn, Encore or ARIA doesn’t include Tower Suite or Sky Suite perks.
- Compare room sizes. Encore’s standard rooms are 745 square feet, The Venetian’s suites 650 to 750, Wynn’s rooms 640 and Four Seasons’ from 500.
- Check what’s open. Spa Bellagio is due back around November 2026, and The Spa at Encore’s wet areas are temporarily unavailable.
- Think about location. ARIA, Bellagio, Waldorf Astoria, Nobu Hotel and The Venetian put you mid-Strip; Wynn, Encore, Fontainebleau and Crockfords are on the north Strip, and Four Seasons is at the south end.
Best luxury hotels for couples, families and non-gamblers
- Couples: Waldorf Astoria for quiet and afternoon tea; The Cosmopolitan, Forbes Recommended, for terrace rooms and dinner at é by José Andrés, which holds one MICHELIN star (see our Cosmopolitan review); Bellagio for fountain views. More in our list of romantic hotels in Las Vegas.
- Families: Four Seasons for kids’ amenities and Mandalay Bay Beach, The Venetian for suites with sleeper sofas, and casino-free Vdara, whose suites have kitchenettes. See our family hotels in Las Vegas.
- Non-gamblers: Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria, Vdara and W Las Vegas have no casino.
- Food lovers: Wynn for Wing Lei; MGM Grand for Joël Robuchon, which MGM says holds the Southwest’s only two MICHELIN stars; Caesars Palace for Restaurant Guy Savoy (one MICHELIN star, Forbes Five-Star).
How to book luxury for less
- Go midweek or in summer. In 2025, hotels ran 88.8% full on weekends and 76.6% midweek, and July, August and June had the lowest average rates of the year, per the LVCVA. Our guide to the cheapest time to visit Las Vegas has the month-by-month view.
- Count parking. Wynn, Encore and Fontainebleau park hotel guests free; Bellagio, ARIA and The Venetian charge $20 a day, and Waldorf Astoria is valet-only at $45 (as of October 2026). Our Las Vegas parking fees guide covers the rest.
- Use the loyalty program behind the brand. World of Hyatt works at The Venetian and The Palazzo, Hilton Honors at Crockfords and Conrad, and Marriott Bonvoy at Bellagio and The Cosmopolitan. Caesars’ FAQs say Diamond and Seven Stars members don’t pay resort fees.
- Buy the entry Five-Star category. The way into a Forbes Five-Star stay is the smallest suite: a 640-square-foot Wynn Tower Suite King or a 745-square-foot Encore Tower Suite King, which still come with the breakfast credit and complimentary parking. Compare it with a top room at a Four-Star hotel on the same dates.
- Book refundable and recheck. Rates move, so hold a cancellable booking and rebook if the price drops. Our resort fees guide explains what the fee adds.
FAQ
What is the most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas?
Wynn Las Vegas, by third-party ratings. Wynn and Encore together hold five Forbes Five-Star awards (both Tower Suites, both spas and Wing Lei), more than any other resort in this guide. For luxury without a casino, the Four Seasons and Waldorf Astoria are the alternatives.
Which Las Vegas hotels are Forbes Five-Star?
Forbes Travel Guide’s Five-Star hotels in Las Vegas include Wynn Tower Suites, Encore Tower Suites, ARIA Sky Suites and SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand, all suite products inside larger resorts. The spas at Wynn, Encore, ARIA and Four Seasons are Five-Star too. Wynn, Encore, The Venetian, The Palazzo, Four Seasons and Crockfords are Four-Star hotels.
Is Caesars Palace a 5-star hotel?
No. AAA rates Caesars Palace Four Diamond, and it isn’t among Forbes Travel Guide’s Five-Star hotels in Las Vegas. Its villa collection, THE VILLAS, earned AAA Five Diamond in 2025 and holds a Forbes Four-Star rating, and Restaurant Guy Savoy, inside the resort, is Forbes Five-Star.
Is Wynn or Fontainebleau more luxurious?
Wynn, if ratings decide it: Forbes rates the hotel Four-Star and its Tower Suites, spa and Wing Lei Five-Star, while Fontainebleau isn’t on Forbes Travel Guide’s Las Vegas star list. Fontainebleau is newer, opened in December 2023, with seven pools on six acres and LIV nightlife. Both let hotel guests self-park free.
Are Four Seasons and Waldorf Astoria casino-free?
Yes. Both are non-gaming and non-smoking. Four Seasons has its own entrance and elevators within the Mandalay Bay complex, whose casino is next door, and Waldorf Astoria is part of CityCenter, a free tram ride from ARIA and Bellagio.
Do luxury hotels in Las Vegas charge resort fees?
Yes. As of October 2026, expect $55 plus tax a night at most of the hotels in this guide; Nobu Hotel charges $54.95 plus tax, and Four Seasons hasn’t confirmed its fee. Some fees carry real perks: Wynn’s includes self-parking, and Waldorf Astoria’s includes house-car rides within three miles.
Luxury rates move with the calendar like any other Las Vegas room, so price your top two picks on the same dates, fees included, before you commit.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
