Best Boutique Hotels in Las Vegas

Downtown's first ground-up resort in decades is 21-plus throughout, which changes the whole energy. Stadium Swim's six pools face a three-story screen, the world's largest sportsbook sits downstairs, and Fremont Street is out the door. Boutique in spirit — focused, opinionated, and unlike anything on the Strip.

The Nugget has held down Fremont Street since 1946, and its pool — with a three-story waterslide through a shark tank — remains one of the most fun in the city. Rooms in the Rush Tower are the pick. Classic downtown character at prices the Strip forgot decades ago.

Chef Todd English's 74-room hotel put a boutique flag in the Arts District, with the Pepper Club serving his greatest hits downstairs and Main Street's galleries, vintage shops, and breweries in every direction. It's the stay for a Vegas trip built around food and neighborhoods instead of casinos.

Vdara is the Strip's quiet corner: an all-suite, non-gaming tower between ARIA and Bellagio where every room has a kitchenette and the rooftop pool stays mellow. You're two minutes' walk from the biggest resorts when you want them — and sealed away when you don't.

The Signature's three all-suite towers sit behind MGM Grand with their own entrances, pools, and — rare for Vegas — private balconies. Kitchenettes and soaking tubs make longer staycations comfortable, and the Strip connects via a corridor when you're ready for it.
