This city is on a hot streak, thanks to world-class entertainment, electric live shows, incredible dining, professional sports, and — yep — the fact that some things can only happen here. Las Vegas is riding high with T+L readers, and the competition is as fierce as ever, as Vegas has welcomed several high-profile hotels in recent years. Meanwhile, tourism to the city is at record-breaking levels, as visitors are flocking back, ready to splurge. 

How Voting Works

Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Nearly 165,000 T+L readers completed the 2023 survey, an increase of nearly 25 percent over pre-pandemic voting levels. A total of more than 685,000 votes were cast across over 8,500 unique properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.).

Hotels were classified as either resort hotel, city hotel, or safari lodge based on their location and amenities, and they were specifically rated on the criteria below:

  • Rooms/facilities
  • Location
  • Service
  • Food
  • Value

For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores are averages of these responses.

What Readers Loved

For all the excitement in the city these days, some familiar award-winners took top honors in this year’s voting. Consider The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (No. 3), which scored higher this year than it did in 2022, thanks to superb service and a fabulous in-house dining scene. “Love this property and all it has to offer,” said one fan, who pointed to the resort’s Block 16 Urban Food Hall as particularly enticing. Holding steady at No. 4, the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas drew nods for the way it seems to float above the fray. “It’s the only option, in my view, for people who want classic luxury without the circus and chaos of the Strip,” one commenter said.

One surprise this year was the No. 2 property, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, which didn’t rank in the top 10 in 2022. The CityCenter property impressed readers this go-round with its serene, hotel-in-the-sky vibes — not to mention “exceptional customer service and a very nice spa,” as one reader said.

This year’s top property, though, is a familiar one for World’s Best voters, who sing the praises of the Wynn Las Vegas, year in and year out. Read on for more about the legendary property — as well as further details on all the top hotels in Las Vegas.

The Winner

This luxurious Las Vegas Strip resort has been a reader favorite for years, thanks to its all-under-one-roof approach and phenomenal service that never fails to impress voters. “Excellent service and great casino hosts,” one reader said. “Elegant rooms, great food, and a beautiful pool,” said another. “The best spa experience I’ve had in my life,” noted yet another, who booked two stays at the Wynn last year. At the same time, there always seems to be a new reason to visit: the new evening show narrated by Anthony Hopkins, the throwback-chic supper club Delilah, a food festival–style weekend arranged in partnership with Opus One Winery. That kind of innovation may explain why the Wynn has such ardent fans. “We’ve stayed there 50-plus times,” wrote one well-traveled voter. “It’s our favorite Vegas hotel, with the best service, food, and overall experience.”
