Which Are the Best Hotel Suites in Las Vegas?

September 26th, 2011

So many want to experience Las Vegas the way celebrities or high rollers experience it. Given that even the ‘average’ Vegas hotel room is absolutely great and way above hotels in other places, one can only imagine what a very expensive suite can offer its guests. So, which are the best hotel suites in Las Vegas?

Clearly, if you have a large budget you can expect to enjoy mind-blowing ‘types’ of accommodation in Vegas, in the form of suites, ‘villas’ and ‘mansions’.

A classic, highly favourite Vegas suite in the 3000/4000 a night price range (prices are very fluid in Vegas, so you can find it for less or a bit more, depending on how busy the place is, the specific time of the year and how much money you have spent in that Vegas hotel group, is Sky Lofts at MGM. Often considered ideal if you require a 2 or 3 bedroom ‘grand’ suite; many TV celebrities stay here. They may not be accessible (either in terms of price or actual availability) when there’s a peak event at MGM Grand, such as a national sporting event, or in Las Vegas in general, such as super bowl weekend or ‘march madness’. Sky Lofts are often considered as one of the best suites in Vegas, offering guests their own butler, and turn service up to 5 times a day.

Other Vegas suites favourites are at The Palms, these days picked by the younger clientele, and Planet Hollywood Towers (also often picked by a younger clientele): the latter can actually be more affordable than the rest; moreover, their modern, ‘funky’ décor, coupled with 8feet HD projector TVs, make it a younger-clientele favourite. These days, if you want beautiful yet relatively affordable suites, you can also opt for the super-comfortable Mandalay Bay or Cosmopolitan suites, both suitable for younger guests seeking the wow-factor at manageable prices in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than, say, Sky Lofts at MGM.

A top ‘grand’ favourite amongst the best Vegas suites is the Mirage Villa which, as the name suggests, is more than ‘just a suite’ (if one can even say that, since all ‘grand’ Vegas suites are simply fantastic). The 3,500 square feet Mirage Villa is a little special: for around 3,500 dollars a night you’ll enjoy 3 bedrooms, a gas fireplace for the romantically-inclined, a ‘cooling’ mist system and, as ‘pieces de resistance’, your own private lap pool and golfing area!

If you think you’ll manage to book the ‘best-ever’ suite in Las Vegas, you may however be disappointed. This because the very top Vegas suites, the ones which are worthy of a Hollywood movie about the world-elite in Vegas, are only accessible to the very top casino high-rollers, those who gamble amounts of money beyond our imagination. Let’s say that 10 or 20 thousand dollars a night spent gambling would not automatically put you in these suites!
