Las Vegas hotel planning

Pick the Las Vegas hotel around your trip—not the biggest sign.

The Strip covers a lot of ground. Start with what you want to do, how much you plan to walk and what the final hotel price includes.

Travel Guides › Pick the Las Vegas hotel around your trip—not the biggest sign.

Las Vegas hotel searches can produce an overwhelming number of properties. A useful comparison starts with location and trip style, then moves to the full price and cancellation terms.

Quick decision ruleChoose two or three attractions or activities you care about most and use them as anchors when comparing hotel locations.

Location changes the feel of the trip

A hotel that looks close on a map can still involve substantial walking, pedestrian bridges or rides. Think about where you expect to spend your evenings and whether you want to return to the room during the day.

Compare the final hotel total

Do not compare only the first nightly rate shown. Review taxes, mandatory property charges or resort fees when disclosed, parking and other terms on the final booking page.

Transportation matters

Decide whether you expect to walk, use rideshare/taxis, public transportation or a rental car. Parking and traffic can change the convenience of a property.

Match the hotel to the trip

A nightlife-focused trip, convention trip, family trip and pool-focused getaway can have different ideal locations. Use your own schedule instead of a generic “best hotel” list.

Before you book

  • Compare the final total for the same dates and room type.
  • Check cancellation and deposit terms.
  • Look at walking and transportation needs for your actual itinerary.
  • Verify current hotel policies directly with the provider.

Plan it in three steps

Answer the planning question first. Then move into the comparison pages when you are ready.
