Pet-Friendly Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip: Dog Fees and Rules (2026)

Pet-friendly hotels on the Las Vegas Strip are easy to find: MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment take dogs at most of their Strip resorts. The fine print varies. Pet fees run from nothing at Four Seasons to $200 per dog per night plus tax for an ARIA or Vdara suite (as of October 2026), weight limits differ by brand, and Bellagio and The Venetian don’t take pets.

Every fee and limit below comes from the hotels’ own pet policies, checked in October 2026 (plus tax unless noted; Caesars adds a refundable $100 nightly deposit). Our page on how we review hotels explains how we verify policies.

Pet-friendly hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and nearby: fees and limits (as of October 2026)

Fees use each hotel’s own wording. Treasure Island is left off on purpose because its own pages disagree (see below).

The Cosmopolitan	Yes, every room	$100 per dog per night plus tax	2 dogs, any size
ARIA, Vdara	Yes, designated rooms (Vdara: Studio V Dog)	$150 (rooms) or $200 (suites) per dog per night plus tax	2 dogs under 100 lb combined

Rio	Yes	$150 per night, per dog	2 dogs, 50 lb or less each
Westgate	Yes	$150 per reservation, non-refundable	2 dogs, 60 lb or less combined; breed limits
Trump International	Yes, pets	$125 one-time fee	2 pets under 25 lb each
Golden Nugget	Yes, limited rooms (call)	$80 per pet, per night, plus a $100 per night deposit	2 dogs of 2–34.9 lb or 1 dog of 35–50 lb
Downtown Grand	Yes, Grand Deluxe rooms	$75 daily fee	Not stated
Courtyard Las Vegas Convention Center	Yes	$20 per night plus $100 per stay; no resort fee	50 lb

MGM’s fees are per dog, so a second dog doubles them; all-suite Vdara and W list both rates, so ask which applies (our Vdara review covers its dog-friendly studios and dog park). Caesars, Resorts World, Virgin and Downtown Grand don’t say per dog, so ask whether the fee covers two. At most hotels, book the actual pet room: Caesars allows dogs only in rooms with PetStay in the description, and MGM asks you to book the dog-friendly room type or call.

Yes, The Cosmopolitan is pet friendly, with one of the simplest policies on the Strip: no special room type, no health records required and a Pupjoy gift box at check-in (subject to availability). There’s an outdoor dog run, and Luxe Pet Hotels, less than a mile away, offers guests daycare at $65 (normally $75). Dogs left alone must be kenneled, and the hotel doesn’t supply crates. More in our Cosmopolitan review.

The lowest nightly pet fee we found at any Strip casino resort: $50 per dog per night plus tax for a standard room and $100 for a suite (as of October 2026). Two dogs must weigh under 100 pounds combined, so one large dog qualifies.

Check Prices on Booking.comRead our review

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Expect a designated outdoor dog park, relief areas outside and a dog menu through the concierge; Luxor’s FAQ bans cats and other pets outright. Excalibur and New York-New York charge the same, and New York-New York adds a 10-minute Doggie Butler check-in visit for $25. Our Luxor review covers the rooms and the rest of the resort.

Yes, Park MGM is pet friendly. Book the dog-friendly room type or call, and you get a designated outdoor dog park, dog walking through an outside vendor and a dog menu.

Yes, MGM Grand is pet friendly, but The Signature at MGM Grand, a short walk away through The District, bans dogs for guests and visitors alike. More in our MGM Grand review.

Yes, Caesars Palace is pet friendly, and it has pet-friendly rooms, but only the room types labeled PetStay: the Augustus Premium Room (650 square feet), the Augustus Executive Suite (760 square feet) and the Augustus Premium Suite. Nobu Hotel inside Caesars Palace has 350-square-foot PetStay rooms, but its fee isn’t listed separately.

Pets are welcome in the outdoor areas of Veranda and PRESS but not in dining, pool or spa areas, and can’t be left alone in the room. We couldn’t confirm the resort fee, so check the total before you pay.

Book the dog ahead: $90 + tax per day in a standard room beats $115 + tax if you add the dog at check-in, a $25 daily saving ($115 − $90), as of October 2026. Rio, with free self-parking, charges $150 per night, per dog. Westgate’s brand-wide policy sets a flat $150 per reservation, or $37.50 a night over four nights ($150 ÷ 4), but it caps two dogs at 60 pounds combined and bans breeds including German Shepherds, Huskies and Pit Bulls.

Check Prices on Booking.comRead our review

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Downtown Grand, a block off Fremont Street, takes dogs in Grand Deluxe rooms for a $75 daily fee and allows them on the Triple George Grill patio. Several big downtown names say no (see the list below); compare the area in our guide to downtown Las Vegas hotels.

Big Las Vegas resorts that don’t allow pets

These resorts say on their own websites that pets aren’t permitted, though trained service animals are (as of October 2026):

• Bellagio: “Dogs are not permitted on the property.”
• The Venetian and The Palazzo: a no-pet policy (see our Venetian review).
• The Signature at MGM Grand.
• Wynn and Encore, Fontainebleau, SAHARA and The STRAT.
• Palms, off the Strip.
• Downtown: Circa, The D, Golden Gate, Plaza and El Cortez, which charges a $300 cleaning fee if it finds a pet in a room.

• Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas: Hilton’s own listing says “Pets not allowed,” with service animals welcome.

Reported, not confirmed: a third-party pet-travel site says Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa doesn’t accept pets; we couldn’t check its official policy.

Check these before you book

• Treasure Island: its own pages conflict. A newer pet-policy page describes dog rooms with a fee and a refundable deposit, but the hotel FAQ, last updated May 30, 2025, says TI doesn’t permit pets. TI stays off our list; call ahead.
• Flamingo: its FAQ says PetStay takes dogs and cats, but Caesars’ PetStay page says dogs only, so plan on dogs only unless Flamingo confirms otherwise.

Pet-friendly hotels without a resort fee

Skip the Strip and you can skip the resort fee too. The Courtyard Las Vegas Convention Center says on Marriott’s page that it charges no resort fee, and its pet fee is $20 a night plus $100 per stay for a dog up to 50 pounds. Hilton describes the Embassy Suites Convention Center as a “pet-friendly, non-gaming hotel” with no resort fee, though its pet fee isn’t in our research, so ask when you book. The all-suite Residence Inn Las Vegas Convention Center next door also advertises pet-friendly suites. Our guides to hotels near the Las Vegas Convention Center and Las Vegas hotels without resort fees cover the rest.

What a pet-friendly stay really costs per night

Your real nightly cost is the room rate plus the resort fee, the 13.38% Strip room tax on both, the pet fee (plus tax where the hotel adds it) and any refundable deposit held on your card. One night’s add-ons before the room rate (as of October 2026):

Stay	Resort fee + 13.38% tax	Pet fee	Add-ons per night
Luxor, one dog, standard room	$45 + $6.02 = $51.02	$50 plus tax	$101.02 plus tax on the pet fee
Caesars Palace, PetStay room	$54.95 + $7.35 = $62.30	$100 (no tax stated)	$162.30 plus a $100 refundable deposit
The Cosmopolitan, two dogs	$55 + $7.36 = $62.36	2 × $100 = $200 plus tax	$262.36 plus tax on the pet fee

Three nights at Caesars Palace add $486.90 (3 × $162.30), plus $300 in refundable deposits (3 × $100).

Hotel	Area	Resort fee	Parking	Booking.com
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas	Center Strip	$55 + tax per night	Self-parking $20/day for hotel guests; valet $40/day	Check prices
Luxor Hotel & Casino	South Strip	$45 + tax per night	Self-parking $20/day for hotel guests; valet $40/day	Check prices
Park MGM Las Vegas	Center Strip	$50 + tax per night	Self-parking $20/day for hotel guests; valet $40/day	Check prices
MGM Grand Las Vegas	South Strip	$50 + tax per night	Self-parking $20/day for hotel guests; valet $40/day	Check prices
Caesars Palace	Center Strip	$54.95 + tax per night	Paid self-parking and valet; free for Caesars Rewards Platinum and above	Check prices
Paris Las Vegas	Center Strip	$54.95 + tax per night	Paid self-parking and valet; free for Caesars Rewards Platinum and above	Check prices
Horseshoe Las Vegas	Center Strip	$49.95 + tax per night	Paid self-parking and valet; free for Caesars Rewards Platinum and above	Check prices
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas	Off-Strip	About $50 + tax per night (reported)	Free self-parking and valet	Check prices
Golden Nugget Las Vegas	Downtown	$46 + tax per night	Free self-parking for hotel guests; valet $20/day	Check prices

Drivers should add parking: hotel guests pay $20 a day to self-park at most MGM Strip resorts, and Caesars Rewards Platinum members and above park free at most Caesars hotels (as of October 2026). See our guides to Las Vegas resort fees and parking fees.

Service animals vs. pets

Trained service animals aren’t pets, and hotels handle them under separate rules: Caesars uses a separate ADA policy with no PetStay booking or fees, Westgate exempts them from fees and weight limits, Golden Nugget exempts them from fees, and MGM exempts service dogs from its public-area restrictions. The no-pet resorts above admit them too.

Emotional support animals are a different case. Bellagio, The STRAT, Palms, Circa, The D, Golden Gate and Plaza say they aren’t service animals, and Westgate applies its dog fee to emotional support dogs.

Are dogs allowed in Las Vegas casinos?

Mostly no. Pet dogs can usually pass through on a leash, but pet-friendly casino hotels in Las Vegas keep them out of gaming areas, restaurants, pools and spas; service animals are the exception.

• MGM Resorts: citing health code rules, no dogs other than service dogs in public areas, including restaurants, bars, the spa and pools, except when passing through.
• The Cosmopolitan: no pets on the casino floor or in gaming areas, restaurants, bars, the pool or the fitness center.
• Caesars PetStay: dogs may walk through designated common areas on a leash. Flamingo’s FAQ keeps pets out of its casino, and only service animals may use the Caesars Palace and LINQ pools.
• Resorts World: no dogs in the casino, restaurants or spa except when passing through.

Walking your dog: Strip hours, Fremont Street and the heat

Caesars’ pet FAQ says pet owners may walk pets along the Las Vegas Strip daily between 5 a.m. and noon, matching a Clark County ordinance the Las Vegas Sun reported in March 2012 that banned pets from the Strip outside those hours and exempted working animals. We couldn’t verify the current county code, so ask your front desk. Our guide to walking the Las Vegas Strip covers distances and bridges if you plan to cover ground with a dog.

The same FAQ names Charlie Frias Park and Western Trails Park as the closest off-leash dog parks to the Strip, and PetStay welcome packets point to relief areas, walking routes, groomers and vets.

Are dogs allowed on Fremont Street?

We couldn’t verify a current Fremont Street Experience rule on pet dogs, so ask the Fremont Street Experience or your hotel first. Circa, The D, Golden Gate, Plaza and El Cortez don’t take pets; Golden Nugget, on Fremont Street, and Downtown Grand, a block away, do.

Heat safety

Las Vegas logged 77 days at or above 100°F in 2025, and the Southern Nevada Health District advises scheduling outdoor activity for early morning or evening and never leaving children or pets in vehicles. During an Extreme Heat Warning, the National Weather Service says to avoid outdoor activities, especially during the heat of the day.

How to choose a pet-friendly hotel in Las Vegas

• Two dogs on a budget: Luxor, Excalibur or New York-New York.
• Caesars Rewards member: Horseshoe, Planet Hollywood or The Vanderpump Hotel, at $75 per night.
• Small dog or a cat: Four Seasons takes both at no charge; non-gaming Trump International, beside Fashion Show mall, takes small pets for a one-time $125.
• No casino: Vdara, W Las Vegas, Four Seasons or Trump International.
• Driving in: Virgin Hotels, Rio, Golden Nugget or Downtown Grand, all with free guest self-parking.
• A week or longer: Westgate’s per-reservation fee.

FAQ

Does Las Vegas have dog-friendly hotels?

Yes. Most MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment hotels on the Strip take dogs, from The Cosmopolitan and MGM Grand to Caesars Palace, and so do Resorts World, Four Seasons, Virgin Hotels, Rio, Westgate, Trump International, Golden Nugget and Downtown Grand.

Is Caesars Palace pet friendly?

Yes, in PetStay rooms only: up to two dogs of 50 pounds or less each, for $100 per night plus a refundable nightly $100 incidental deposit (as of October 2026). Book a room type with PetStay in its description.

Is The Venetian pet friendly?

No. The Venetian Resort, including The Palazzo, has a no-pet policy; only service animals specifically trained to perform a task for a person with a disability are permitted.

Is Bellagio pet friendly?

No. Bellagio’s FAQ says dogs are not permitted on the property, and emotional support and therapy dogs don’t count as service animals. Vdara and The Cosmopolitan, linked to Bellagio by an interior bridge, do accept dogs.

Which Las Vegas hotels allow large dogs?

The Cosmopolitan has no size limit, and MGM’s other dog-friendly hotels allow one dog under 100 pounds. Virgin Hotels lists no weight limit. Caesars PetStay hotels, Rio and Golden Nugget stop at 50 pounds per dog.

Are there pet-friendly hotels in Las Vegas without resort fees?

Yes, off the Strip. The Courtyard Las Vegas Convention Center charges no resort fee and takes a dog up to 50 pounds for $20 a night plus $100 per stay, and Hilton calls the Embassy Suites Convention Center pet-friendly with no resort fee. Among the casino hotels, Downtown Grand ($39 + tax per night, waived for Nevada residents) and Trump International ($39 + tax per day) charge the least (as of October 2026).

Pet rooms are specific room types at most of these hotels, so confirm the room and the total with the hotel after you book; prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
