United States Nevada The 11 Biggest Casinos on the Las Vegas Strip By Andrea Bennett Andrea Bennett Andrea Bennett is TripSavvy's Las Vegas expert. She's been writing for the site since 2020. TripSavvy's editorial guidelines Updated on 12/15/20 B. Tanaka / Getty Images One of the Internet’s favorite things to do in Las Vegas is to rank casino hotels. (In fact, the resorts do sort themselves into categories, which have much to do with their size, the number of offerings under one roof, and their general level of luxury.) But ranking them would be like comparing apples to oranges—or in the case of Las Vegas, astoundingly wild approximations of Venice (such as in Venetian and Palazzo) to, say, Lake Como (Bellagio) or Rome (as in Caesars Palace). In other words, there’s not a single best place for anyone; there are a lot of best places for many different kinds of travelers. For instance, if you love the idea of checking into a resort and never having to leave, Venetian—with its huge variety of restaurants, great nightlife, tons of shopping, and a serious gaming floor—might be perfect for you. However, if proximity to lots of different experiences and a short walk to the city’s events arenas is your thing, ARIA or Cosmopolitan might be your best bet. That said, the following list is generally organized to spotlight casino resorts whose casino floor square footage is particularly impressive. But if it’s size you think you’re after, Vegas gaming newbies should keep a couple things in mind: Some casinos that aren’t the largest in size may have some of the features you want, like a fantastic sportsbook, or the most private poker room, or the fanciest high-level slots—look for such features.If you’re planning on gaming, sign up for the casinos’ rewards clubs, such as M Life Rewards (MGM), Wynn’s Red Card, Venetian’s Grazie, and Caesars’ Total Rewards program. Each comes with great benefits with easy-to-rack-up rewards. 01 of 11 Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Courtesy of Mandalay Bay View Map Address 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, USA Get directions Phone +1 702-632-7000 Web Visit website The gold-plated palace at the south end of the Strip is the focal point of a resort complex that also features a sprawling pool playground, aquarium, and events center.
