Where to stay in Las Vegas
In Las Vegas, short map distances can hide long indoor walks, pedestrian bridges and large resort grounds. The right hotel depends on the venues, shows, convention halls or restaurants you expect to revisit.
Start with the area
Four practical bases in Las Vegas.
Compare exact placement along the Strip as well as the route from room tower to street. Downtown and off-Strip options offer different rhythms, but transport should be part of the decision.
South Strip
Best for
Stadium events, southern resorts and airport access.
Trade-off
Central and northern venues may require transport.
North Strip
Best for
Convention access and newer resorts.
Trade-off
Well-known landmarks are farther apart than they appear.
Downtown Las Vegas
Best for
Fremont Street and a compact entertainment district.
Trade-off
The experience is distinct from the Strip and requires a ride between them.
