Where are the casinos?

  • On the strip: The Nevada Gaming Commission lists 45 casinos as a part of the Las Vegas strip area, with 30-odd having actual frontage on the strip itself.
  • Beyond: In the Las Vegas valley as a whole, from its suburbs to the strip to downtown, there are over 100 casinos to choose from.
  • Don't underestimate the distances between casinos, the strip is 4 miles long. Put some money and time aside for transport.

Best Casinos

  • High-rollers: For the poker players the Bellagio is a favorite. Caesars Palace is great for sports betting. For slots, ARIA boasts one of the largest slot-machine floors on the strip. For a great range of table games, stop by the Golden Nugget.
  • Fun-seekers: Non-gamblers can still find fun at MGM Grand, while Circus Circus offers entertainment for the whole family.
  • Foodies: Vegas is a surprising foodie heaven; check out the eatery scene at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for a mouth-watering spread.

Casino Nightlife

  • Next to gaming, Sin City is perhaps best known for its party culture.
  • Best of both worlds: known for more than just lax public drinking laws, many casinos offer free drinks to gaming patrons.

  • Thousands of seats are filled each night at the dozens of world-class shows in Las Vegas.
  • Don't miss the resident performers that have been a staple of the Vegas experience for decades.
