Ranking Las Vegas Casinos

Which casino is best?  That depends on what you want.

Below is a list of casinos that are grouped together by price.  Which is best?  That’s up to you.  Some have different price points and offer different things.

Each offers a different experience and whether the value is there is up to you.  Some are luxurious and beautiful but too far away from the main drag so you’ll be isolated.  Others are cheaper but might not have the club you’re looking for if partying is your thing.

The list is ranked from highest median price to lowest.  Prices include Friday night, Saturday night, resort fees, and taxes.  No parking.

Tier 1:  The Top

These are the highest priced casino resorts on the Last Vegas Strip.  They’re beautiful, probably some of the nicest and most ornate hotels you’ll see in the US that’s not on a beach.  With that comes a high cost to everything from parking fees to restaurant prices to bottles of water in the gift shop.  Be prepared for the most expensive – and best – of everything.

Tier 2: The Heavy Hitters

These are the next group on the list where you can save just a little but still be surrounded by beauty.  These are places you could photograph for hours and not be disappointed. Vdara is connected to Aria and shares the casino/restaurants/shows/etc.

Tier 3: Nice Starter Properties

If you’re a first-timer in Vegas, this is a good group to start with.  The casinos and rooms are nice and they have amenities like restaurants, nice pool areas, shows, and large casinos.

Tier 4: Fun Bags

This group won’t win awards for being posh, but they more than hold their own when compared to off-strip properties and are well worth the money.  All are major casino properties and have fun personalities to boot.  These are good options for first-timers looking to budget.  Except Circus Circus.  Don’t stay there.
