Classiest Strip Hotels

I saw this list on Easy Vegas.
Cosmopolitan, Aria, Wynn/Encore, Bellagio, Venetian/Palazzo, Mandalay Bay/THEhotel, MGM Grand, Caesars

I assume they are in order of classiness. What would you change about this list in content or in order? I thought The Mirage ranked higher than MGM Grand. JB may have limited his list to hotels with casinos but what if you included non-gaming hotels like Vdara or Trump?

i would include the 4 seasons by mandalay Bay

I wouldn't consider Trump a strip hotel as it is maybe a 10 minute walk from the Fashion Show Mall off the strip. If you want class without snootiness I think Wynn/Encore is your best option. I have never stayed at the hotel there, but have eaten in a few restaurants there and it was top notch service the entire way. Bellagio, it just seemed me and my wife were looked down upon because we are a bit younger (early 30s at the time) when eating at Prime before seeing "O" THEHotel is becoming Delano Las Vegas in 2014, but my wife and I had our honeymoon there (we had reservations at Mandalay Bay and got upgraded) and quite frankly, that was the finest room I have ever stayed at anywhere I have ever traveled.

Anyone try the new "Nobu" hotel?

I would move Caesars to after the Belagio and drop the Venetian/Palazzo to after Manadalay Bay leaving MGM Grand last on that list.

I would eliminate Cosmo entirely. The physical place is nice, but is filled with young urban trash every night.

1. Wynn Encore
2. Venetian Pal
3. Aria / Vdara
4. Bellagio


Anything below that starts to have class problems, if you are looking for class.

I think this is the worst place to be looked down at. The lowest tables are the $25 tables which is fine, but wow, full of 30K milli's if you ask me. I hate going into this place.

I think it might be an unordered list. It depends on what one's standards are. The Botox Barbies would all vote for Cosmo, but probably have never gambled there. Aria seems to have little to offer and I would not position it ahead of Wynn/Encore or Bellagio. Many had complained last year of a Bellagio nose-dive in food quality and value for price.

A place like Mandalay Bay actually has three hotels and so its appeal might be diluted. It also has several establishments that get misdescribed such as spas and beauty parlors so the voting might be skewed depending upon which establishment was actually patronized.

Alot depends on what is being valued. For pure gawking, its hard to beat The Venetian. Dealers are good there but slots are unimpressive.Drinks are exotic. Bellagio is more likely to adjust minimums though some people prefer the Wynn and feel able to ask for table minimum changes there too.

WynnCore then Bellagio. Cosmo / Aria are quite chic but less classy. Velazzo next. I would put Caesars over MGM, and MGM over Mandalay Bay, and the Mirage with Mandalay Bay.

Thanks, I would never have considered the Four Seasons. It looks like they are actually connected to the Mandalay Bay Casino. MB has a link to Four Seasons on their site, but M-life does not acknowledge them. Anyone know if there is any comp agreement between them?

Easy Vegas is Michael Bluejay's, not JB. I was excited for a second that JB had his own site ( other than vpgenius, which he started).

Speaking of vpgenius, I can no longer use this great site due to server error. Am I alone?

Thanks - I was about to point that out. Not to derail the topic, but I did start a site some time ago, vphelper.com, with return tables for several video poker games. It is basically a stale project though.

My sincerest apologies. I am not sure how I got y'all confused.
