Las Vegas hotels

Hands down the most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas, this is true resort living – and most of its devoted guests don’t leave the hotel while they’re here. Wynn and its sister resort, Encore, look out onto their own par-70 championship golf course – the only one on the world-famous Strip.

Big, sunlit atriums, lakes, waterfalls and even dragons guarding century-old pomegranate trees outside the first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in North America keep this resort feeling surprising. It’s the largest Forbes Five-Star resort in the world, and from the top service to the no-details-spared design, you’ll see it at every turn.

One of the best-located resorts on the Strip, Aria is part of the vast CityCenter complex and is connected by a walkway to Park MGM (which looks right out to T-Mobile Arena and has the popular Dolby Live concert venue). It is refreshingly modern, with its streamlined design and natural materials inside two sleek glass towers.

Its seven SkyVillas and 400 Sky Suites on the top floors of the 50-floor hotel have their own separate entrance, pool and lift. Other resorts are just catching on to Aria’s details for tech-savvy travellers, like in-room tablets through which you can control the room’s features, order food from the hotel and make spa appointments.
