My Las Vegas favorites — the Strip hotels I actually stay at and send my friends to.
I go back and forth between the Signature and MGM Grand — both are great with different amenities. The Signature is all suites and quieter, and connects right into MGM Grand for the lazy river and restaurants. It's also non-gaming and non-smoking, so...
The Signature at MGM Grand
A center-Strip classic — huge, iconic, and the pool scene is unreal. Great pick for a first Vegas trip.
Caesars Palace
I took my family here after my wedding and they loved it — such a glamorous stay. The little river inside, like a little Italy, was just beautiful.
The Venetian Las Vegas
Very modern and trendy — the chic pick on the Strip. Terrace rooms overlook the Bellagio fountains, the food scene is amazing, and yes there's a big casino downstairs, it just feels more upscale than the classic floors.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
One of the nicest modern stays on the Strip — beautiful rooms, amazing restaurants, and a huge, classy casino. MGM quality all the way.
ARIA Resort & Casino
ARIA's calm sister — non-gaming and smoke-free, all suites with kitchenettes. You get a quiet, apartment-style stay, and ARIA, Bellagio, and the Cosmopolitan are just a short walk when you want the action.
