Especially popular among families, the modern, 816-room Red Rock is great for travelers who want a self-contained Vegas resort experience. Nearly 30 minutes from the frenzy of the Strip, this desert oasis nonetheless offers Vegas-level glamour -- it boasts snazzy rooms, an impressive pool complex, a renowned spa, 10 restaurants, 10 bars and lounges, a multiplex movie theater, and a 72-lane bowling alley. The resort has smaller crowds and more space than the crowded Strip mega-hotels, plus it is in the middle of the natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon. The JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort Spa and Golf is a luxury off-the-Strip pick with a much quieter atmosphere, but far fewer dining options.

Tucked behind the storied Flamingo, this popular time-share hotel gives guests both the quiet, laid-back feel of apartment living and quick access to the high-energy entertainment of the Las Vegas Strip.

The Eastside Cannery Casino Hotel is a mid-range property in North Las Vegas, far from the major attractions. With that in mind, the hotel has its own sizable casino complete with table games and a bingo hall, along with several restaurants and bars featuring live entertainment. There's also an outdoor pool and hot tub. Public areas reek of smoke, though the 307 rooms fare better. They're surprisingly large, reasonably pleasant, and have nice floor-to-ceiling windows. Free Wi-Fi and a lack of resort fees -- not always common in the Vegas area -- make this a decent deal for budget travelers who don't mind being off the Strip. Just up the street, the massive Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall has far more amenities and similar rates, but the rooms are smaller.

The Platinum Hotel and Spa is a three-and-a-half-pearl residence-style property that's a short walk from The Strip. Its 255 air-conditioned suites are big one-bedroom apartments plus full kitchens, multiple flat-screen TVs, washers, dryers, and electric fireplaces in the living rooms. The off-Strip location keeps the overall atmosphere quiet. Free afternoon wine, plus happy hour drink and food specials at the bar, add value to a stay here, but the restaurant only gets mixed reviews from previous guests. Leisure opportunities aren't too numerous, but the hotel has an indoor/outdoor pool plus a full-service spa and a fitness room. Other amenities include a dog run, Wi-Fi, and valet parking. Travelers looking for a property with a livelier vibe and an on-site casino might opt for The Palms Casino Resort instead.
