Las Vegas non-gaming hotel recommendations

[+ Archer]

At the end of October, I have to go to Las Vegas. A non-gaming hotel would be my first preference. One particular hotel I'm interested in is Jockey Resort Suites Center Strip. Has anyone stayed there?

 

Thank you for your help.

Hello Archer,

 

The rates can vary as it hugely depends on when you come here. Here is my recommendation from the best to the "worst"...

 

1. Mandarin Oriental - City center's new diamond, excellent place to stay!

2. Signature MGM - Off the strip (1 block) but extremely nice, great service and the rooms are excellent.

3. Trump hotel - Nice condos as well I found it a little bit overpriced but sometimes you can get good deals, it really just depends on what dates you are looking for.

4. Four Season's hotel - next to the Mandalay Bay. A little bit overpriced and their rooms are not as nice as other 4 Seasons....

5. Hilton Garden (in between Circus-Circus and the Stratosphere)

 

It all depends on your budget and what's important to you... These are the 5 best non-gaming casinos so check out the rates and then decide which one you wanna go with!

 

Enjoy your stay!

Hi Archer,

 

I just returned from a quick three-day respite in Vegas. Decided to give the Trump International Hotel a try this time. What a great idea this turned out to be. The hotel is new, very clean and well maintained. The large suite style rooms are well furnished and elegantly designed. The staff at the hotel is unfailingly polite - it reminded me of the demeanor of a cruise ship staff in that everyone greets you with a smile and a kind word. Overall, I would give an overwhelming endorsement of this fine hotel for those seeking a non-gaming atmosphere, but still located on/near the Strip. For me, the lack of smokers and loud slot machines makes the beautiful lobby (and the entire Vegas experience) even more comfortable and relaxing. Here's hoping you have a great trip to Vegas later this month!

Hi Archer, Peter provided you with a few good suggestions in his list. Let me add the Renaissance hotel, a non-gambling and quiet property located next to the Wynn golf course and just a block from the monorail and the Convention Center. That's where I stayed last time without being inconvenienced with a noisy and overcrowded lobby when getting to my room.

 

Cheers, Steven ~

Agree with Steven. You don't get the large crazy crowds as the ones on the strip. I was there for a medical conference last month and was pleasantly surprised with the accomodations.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. Looks like there are several good hotels to choose from.

the Jockey place you asked about is certainly in an unbeatable location - right on the Strip between the new City Center and the Bellagio, but it appears, from the outside, to be aged and tired.....it seems to be one of those places you hear about where the owner will not sell for ANY price, despite a location that has got to be among the most valuable in the country...and yet this dump of a place hangs on amid the glitter of City Center and the Bellagio.....the land it's on (a couple or three acres??) has got to be worth, I don't know, $40-50 million????

I just wanted to add one more - Vdara. It is brand new and is really flying under the radar. I stayed there in June and it was great, especially for the bargain basement price that it was going for.

If you stay at the Vdara, try to avoid the "death ray" poolside:

That happened to me! I ran to the shade for a bit, and my drink cup did melt out by my lounger. It was great - I texted a picture of the cup to all my friends at home. Not a big deal - nothing to get all lawyer-ly over (This guy has a pretty good life if the biggest thing he can find to complain about is that he got too warm for a while.) Of course, I'm Canadian so I am not going to complain about "too much sun".

I highly recommend you also consider "THE Hotel"... It's adjacent to Mandalay Bay Hotel/Casino, but is much more sophisticated, elegant and quiet with its separate entrance, larger suites, and highly attentive staff. It feels very much like an upscale boutique hotel. Website: http://www.mandalaybay.com/persona/THEhotel.aspx?CMP=KNC-Google-thehotel_Corp

I applaud the guy who began this thread and the ones who responded. This brief guide will definitely help me in deciding on the lodging (quiet and non smoking) when I visit Las Vegas sometime in 2011. Thanks to all...!

I stayed at the Renaissance hotel when I was in town on business for a week. Fantastic room and the staff was very accommodating. One of the most comfortable Vegas stays I've ever had. I prefer smaller places like this over the mega hotels where everything is a huge trek. I remember one stay at Mandalay (not the Hotel, the regular Mandalay) where I found myself thinking about what I'd need to take with me from the room for the whole day even if I was just meeting someone in the lobby, since the journey back to the room could take a good half hour.
