Wynn and Encore Las Vegas
When you stay at Wynn’s award-winning Tower Suites, you get to enjoy a luxurious boutique hotel Las Vegas experience. Enjoy an exclusive registration area, dedicated elevators, daily breakfast credit, morning coffee and tea service, twice-daily housekeeping, a private pool deck with cabanas and much more. Plus, whenever you leave your Tower Suites enclave, you're still immersed in the opulence of Wynn and Encore, with chic lounges, decadent spas and all the Vegas fun you want.
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas offers a serene respite from the CityCenter and center Strip action that surrounds it. Guests here enjoy signature Waldorf service in a quiet, non-gaming, non-smoking environment complete with gourmet dining, three pools and an award-winning spa boasting stunning Vegas views. If you want a luxury boutique-style ambiance while still being incredibly close to major Las Vegas attractions, this is the hotel for you! It's an easy walk to Aria, Park MGM, Cosmopolitan and The Shops at Crystals, plus you're only a half-mile from the T-Mobile Arena. If you're a tea fan, don't miss afternoon tea at its iconic Tea Lounge.
NoMad Las Vegas
One of my favorite hotel-within-a-hotel concepts in Las Vegas is the The NoMad Hotel, a hidden gem tucked into the larger Park MGM resort. A stay at the NoMad has all the perks of a fantastic center Strip, smoke-free location, paired with boutique-style luxury—enjoy a dedicated entryway and lobby, VIP access to the NoMad pool, plus rooms that welcome you after a long day with grand style, playful comfort, and classic Vegas glamor. I especially love that this is a pet-friendly hotel and that the rooms have hardwood floors and amazing Strip views.
Aria Sky Suites
Exquisite amenities, fab views, private lounge check-in and an exclusive pool make ARIA Sky Suites another enticing hotel-within-a-hotel concept on the Las Vegas Strip. If you like the personalized, boutique Vegas experience and center Strip location of the Waldorf, but still want your accommodations connected to a big resort and casino, this place is definitely worth a look. With suites starting at 1,500 square feet, it's also a great choice if you want plenty of room to relax after a long day (or night) of Vegas indulgences.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas
The best-known hotel-within-a-hotel oasis in town, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is nestled within the sprawling South Strip Mandalay Resort & Casino complex. It's one of a few non-gaming and non-smoking hotels on the Strip, offering the best of both Vegas worlds: luxurious resort-like serenity paired with the pulsing energy of the Strip. Don't miss the weekend brunch buffet at their Verandah restaurant—the poolside terrace, fresh air, tasty bites and strawberry mimosas are the perfect way to recharge after a late night.
Need to know
A boutique hotel experience in Las Vegas is not a pipe dream! Quiet, luxurious, personalized, smoke-free stays on the Strip await if you seek out suites at 5-star resorts or hidden hotel-within-a-hotel concepts.
If you're trying to decide between the properties I've outlined above, here's what I'd suggest based on your needs:
Wynn and Encore Tower Suites — Perfect if you want suite perks plus a huge 5-star resort. Also very convenient to the Vegas Convention Center.
Waldorf Astoria — Stay here if you want a quiet standalone luxury hotel.
NoMad — Top choice if you're traveling with pets! Also can be a great value depending on the time of year.
ARIA Sky Suites — Prime center Strip location, with fabulous dining options on-site. Perfect location for foodies.
Four Seasons — Super close to the airport so it's great for a quick luxe stay. Also a good location if you'll be spending time in Henderson or catching a game at Allegiant Stadium.
