Circa Resort & Casino
Price Range: $$
Circa Las Vegas is a refreshing addition to the lively Downtown/Fremont Street area. It is the first new hotel built in this area in over 40 years, blending classic Vegas charm with modern amenities.
Circa offers 34 floors of contemporary rooms and luxurious suites, equipped with Alexa-enabled devices for in-room concierge services.
The hotel features a two-level casino filled with practically any slot machine or table game you can imagine, along with the world’s largest sportsbook, a three-story venue with a massive 78-megapixel screen.
The hotel’s entertainment is highlighted by the Legacy Club Rooftop Cocktails on the 60th floor, and the Stadium Swim pool amphitheater, which features six pools and a 40-foot-high screen for sports viewing.
Traveling as a family with kids? Sandly, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Circa is one of the rare hotel casinos in Las Vegas that limits its guests to adults 21 and older.
The ENGLiSH Hotel
Price Range: $$$
The ENGLiSH Hotel is a $30 million, four-story, 74-room boutique hotel located in downtown Las Vegas’ Arts District, which opened in February 2022. It is named after the renowned chef Todd English, a four-time James Beard Award winner, who is a partner in the venture.
Departing from the typical Las Vegas casino hotel experience, The ENGLiSH Hotel aims to attract a selective clientele with its adult-only policy (21+ only!) and pet-friendly accommodations.
The hotel offers a small, ultra-private pool and outdoor lounge, and prides itself on providing an elevated culinary experience powered by Todd English’s food and beverage program, along with Michelin-star-quality room service.
While the hotel is on the pricier side, at least they don’t charge a resort fee.
The Golden Nugget
Price Range: $
Situated right on Fremont Street, The Golden Nugget is super easy to find — just keep your eyes peeled for the hotel that’s bedazzled with endless lit-up lightbulbs. It’s impossible to miss.
The Golden Nugget is the most “Strip-like” hotel and casino downtown. Its lower room rates and free parking make it an attractive choice for families and budget travelers seeking a mix of casualness and convenience.
The Golden Nugget offers accommodations across three different towers: Carson, Rush, and Gold. Each tower provides various room categories, with the Gold Tower featuring the newest remodeled rooms as of 2014. All rooms sport dark color schemes and modern furniture, but the Gold Tower rooms are notably snazzier.
