Between the glitz, the glam, the endless buffets and those seas of slot
machines, megahotels in Las Vegas quickly can blend together.
Still, to be clear: Not all Vegas resort destinations are created equal.
Some properties excel with casino offerings, while others shine in the
food and beverage department. Some have great spas, while others are
great for nongamblers.online casino software
Here are 12 of our favorite casino hotels where guests can roll the
dice, eat like royalty, party like Rhianna or Ed Sheeran and take in
some unforgettable views as they play:
1. Best casino for sports betting: Caesars Palace
The sports book—that part of the casino where you wager on sports—inside
Caesars Palace is a sports-lover’s paradise that draws huge crowds and
delivers a tailgating-style experience during big games to the
15,580-square-foot corner of the gaming floor.
The book’s pride and joy: a 138-foot LED video wall that comprises six
oversized 12-by-15-foot screens, 12 50-inch plasma screens and
20-by-50-foot LED board with up-to-the-minute betting lines on all the
games.
The configuration gives the casino’s oddsmakers the option to carry
dozens of sporting events at any given time. Renovations in 2017 added a
bar and 140 comfy chairs, and with a new app, bettors can order food
off a limited menu and have everything delivered to their seats.
Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd., S., Las Vegas, NV 89109; +1 (866) 227-5938
2. Best casino for slots: ARIA
ARIA doesn’t only boast one of the largest slot-machine floors on the
Las Vegas Strip; it also offers one of the most exclusive high-limit
slot rooms anywhere in Nevada.
That high-limit room, dubbed SPIN, has some machines that cost up to
$5,000 per pull. It was designed by New York-based architect Peter
Marino, and it has a separate area to exchange slot tickets for dollars,
private bathrooms, a full-service dining area and a staff of butlers to
cater to every guest’s needs.
Overall, the resort is home to nearly 2,000 slots, including current-day
favorites such as Anchorman, Wheel of Fortune 3-D, The Simpsons and The
Walking Dead II. The casino hosts a slot tournament several times per
year.
Newer spots have come and gone, but the poker room at Bellagio remains a
favorite among veterans and amateurs alike. The cavernous space near
the sports book has 40 tables in all, often a healthy mix of limit and
no-limit Hold ‘Em (with a daily tournament at 2 p.m.), Omaha and more.
Players can get drinks, food, and—believe it or not—back and neck
massages delivered tableside (yes, while they’re playing) at any time of
day or night.
The highest-stakes games are held in a back area dubbed Bobby’s Room,
named after Bobby Baldwin, the 1978 World Series of Poker Champion who’s
now an executive for MGM Resorts International. Peek back there
late-night and you might spot pros playing for millions.
