Located atop the ARIA Resort & Casino, the 442-room ARIA Sky Suites is a luxe, more serene alternative to the many party-oriented hotels on the Strip. Its suites are chic and modern, with a wide array of high-tech amenities such as tablets to control lighting and curtains, extravagant bathrooms with jetted tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows -- some offering panoramic Strip views. Service is top-notch here, with personal concierges, a private lounge with free drinks and snacks, and free airport transfers in a limousine. Guests get access to all of the features at the ARIA Resort & Casino, including all of its restaurants, the spa, the pools, and the gym, plus, the Sky Suites has its own private pool. It's worth comparing rates with SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand, a luxe option with a similar concept.

A $180 million renovation completed in 2011 turned the once-dingy Tropicana into one of the nicer mid-range hotels on the Strip. This storied hotel is one of the oldest in Vegas -- it was built in 1957, and once had mob associations -- but today it is clean, modern, and even somewhat stylish, with South-Beach-inspired decor and a sprawling pool club and nightclub, Bagatelle Beach. The casino isn't as large as others on the Strip, but the central location makes it easy to gamble elsewhere -- the hotel is connected via pedestrian bridges to MGM Grand and Excalibur. The basic contemporary rooms have fresh tropical style; guests should stay in the Paradise Tower to be close to the Strip or the Club Tower to be close to the pool. But note that prices tend to be a bit higher than at other mid-range options such as Treasure Island and New York New York.

Big, elaborate, and packed with the kind of luxuries you see at the Bellagio and the Wynn, the 3,068-room Palazzo has some of the best and biggest standard rooms on The Strip. Its world-class Canyan Ranch spa, 10 pools, busy casino, and name-brand fine dining all connect to its sister property, the Venetian, via a haute couture mall. It's less theme-y than many Vegas hotels, but right at the top of the list in terms of glitz and extravagance. As is typical with Vegas hotels, a daily resort fee is added to the room rate, but it covers parking and Wi-Fi. For a luxe property with a more party-focused atmosphere, consider Encore at Wynn.

This large Hilton hotel is a three-pearl timeshare property that offers 1,239 spacious studios and multi-bedroom suites. Suites are spacious and well equipped, with full kitchens, living rooms with dining areas, and even washers/dryers; studios have kitchenettes. Though there's no casino here, it has a solid set of features, including two attractive outdoor pools and three hot tubs, modern fitness facilities, and a large spa with six treatment rooms. The biggest downer here is the location and some guests cite it as a big inconvenience -- it's a bit far from the Strip and about a 20-minute walk from most of the main hotel-casinos. Those wanting to be closer to the action might want to opt for Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations, also a timeshare property, located right by Miracle Mile Mall and Planet Hollywood.

First opened in 1946, the 3,626-room Flamingo Las Vegas is one of the most iconic hotels on the Strip. In addition to all the Vegas basics -- including multiple dining options, a huge casino, top-rated shows, and a number of wedding venues -- this upper-middle-range hotel offers a few great features: a bustling party pool, a spa, on-site shops, and the popular Wildlife Habitat, complete with exotic birds, turtles, and fish. Rooms, however, are hit or miss -- non-renovated units are somewhat dated and basic, while renovated rooms and suites have stylish contemporary decor and upgraded technologies. Rates are some of the lowest on the Strip, but those on a budget may want to bear in mind that a resort fee is added at checkout. Families may prefer the Mirage Hotel & Casino, which has nightly fire-and-water shows, and largely well-maintained rooms.

This 1,117-room, 4.5-pearl property is the result of an $80 million renovation, completed in Fall 2014, of the former THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. The revamping brought striking desert-inspired art installations to the lobby and chic, white furnishings in the suite-style rooms. There's not much in way of entertainment or dining on-site, but it's connected to the huge and lively Mandalay Bay. For guests or business travelers wanting a quiet retreat still near the Vegas hustle and bustle, the Delano is a prime pick.

A gorgeous, upscale, lakeside resort 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Luxurious in its details, from the in-room amenities to the fireplaces by the stunning lake-view terrace. Recreational options include two sprawling pools, a full-service spa, a fancy fitness center, and a tennis court. The service is excellent, but the dining is limited.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is a pleasant four-pearl property located across from Fashion Show Mall, a not-insubstantial walk from The Strip. It's 1,232 air-conditioned rooms have tons of built-ins, kitchenettes, velvet-chaired sitting areas, and fabulous city views (some of The Strip). Unfortunately, the two restaurants -- a poolside snack shop and a fine-dining eatery that serves American food -- are only mediocre, and the property lacks a casino. Other features include a pool, a fully-stocked 24-hour gym, a spa, and a gift shop loaded with Trump-branded merchandise. The property’s otherwise serene ambience is disrupted throughout the day (and night) by rumbling trains and their blaring horns, though. For quieter stay with luxurious rooms and equally numerous features it’s also worth pricing out Wynn Las Vegas.

Occupying the 35th through 39th floors of the Mandalay Bay Resort, the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is an oasis of calm in a city known for its frenetic energy. Guests at the Four Seasons can look forward to decadent Art-Deco inspired rooms with huge marble bathrooms, sophisticated on-site dining, a renowned spa, and the luxury hotel brand’s signature “anticipatory service.” Though there's no dedicated casino here, the Mandalay Bay's is an elevator ride away. The only downside is the hotel's location on the Strip’s southern end. Travelers who’d prefer a more central Strip location should check out the equally luxurious Mandarin Oriental.

Several blocks from the lights and sounds of Downtown Vegas, the 406-room Main Street Station offers a quiet, Old West-inspired atmosphere. A cheap buffet and a casino with 20 times odds in craps and 800 video poker and slot machines attracts an older clientele. But rooms are basic, and there's no pool, fitness center, or fine dining.
