Key Takeaways
The standard rooms are smallest at the Hilton (400 square feet). Crockfords and Conrad’s standard rooms are a bit bigger (550 square feet).
Hilton is going to be the most affordable option, and Crockfords is going to be the most expensive / exclusive option. All of the hotel rooms are equally as new and have very similar layouts.
If you’re contemplating between Conrad vs Crockfords and paying out of pocket for the room, we’d recommend saving the money and choosing Conrad — the standard rooms are so similar.
If you’re looking to redeem a free night certificate that allows you to choose either, go with the Crockfords.
What Is Resorts World? What Are The Hotels Here?
Resorts World Las Vegas is a massive integrated resort complex located on the Las Vegas Strip. The layout of Resorts World is designed to offer a variety of experiences, entertainment, and accommodations all within one extensive property.
Here’s an overview of the layout and the presence of three distinct hotels within the resort:
Main Complex
At the heart of Resorts World is the main complex, which houses all the iconic features you’d expect at a casino resort, including the casino, entertainment venues, dining establishments, shops, and various recreational amenities.
The layout is designed to allow guests of each hotel brand to experience the unique offerings of their chosen accommodation while seamlessly enjoying the shared facilities of Resorts World.
The casino floor is the central hub, featuring a wide range of gaming options, from slot machines to table games. The District is the shared shopping/dining/entertainment hub.
Each of the hotels can be accessed from the main floor near the casino and a majority of the restaurants. If you enter from the hotel parking, you’ll be closest to the Hilton lobby.
If you enter from the Resorts World Dr. entrance or The District, you’ll be closest to the Conrad Lobby.
Let’s dive into the different hotels that make up the glamorous Resorts World property.
Hilton Las Vegas
One of the three hotels at Resorts World is the Hilton Las Vegas, a brand that you probably already know. Hilton caters to a diverse range of guests including families, couples, etc.
Hilton has its own dedicated tower within the complex, with its own entrance and lobby too.
In total, there are 1,678 guestrooms and suites ranging between 400 to 3,300 square feet. Expect residential-style furnishings, modern light fittings, and an environment design to bring comfort to your stay in Vegas.
Guests at Hilton have convenient access to the shared amenities of Resorts World, including the casino, dining options, and entertainment.
Conrad Las Vegas
Conrad Las Vegas is a luxury hotel brand within the Hilton portfolio, providing a more elevated and sophisticated experience. We’d say Conrads around the world tend to cater to millennials and upper-middle-class folks who appreciate architecture and trendy aesthetics when it comes to hotels.
Conrad has its own tower within the Resorts World complex, featuring 1,496 guestrooms and suites all ranging between 550 to 2,800 square feet. Rooms are designed by KNA Designs, which means lots of warm woods and modern fixtures.
As the largest Conrad in the world, this premium experience offers contemporary elegance with elevated amenities and state-of-the-art tech conveniences.
Conrad guests can enjoy all the shared facilities of Resorts World.
Crockfords Las Vegas
Crockfords, Hilton’s ultra-contemporary and luxury hotel brand (LXR Hotels & Resorts), occupies its own exclusive tower within the Resorts World complex.
Unless you travel to the EU a lot, you probably haven’t heard of this brand. Crockfords is one of the first hotels to debut in the U.S from LXR, Hilton’s collection of bespoke, independent luxury properties.
You’ll even find a dedicated lobby bar at the Crockfords. Not many hotels have this neat little feature.
Crockfords offers 332 guestrooms and suites, all ranging from 550 to 7,000 square feet. Not only are the rooms going to be spacious but they’re all designed with the guest experience in mind.
- Guests will enter from an exclusive entrance and grand lobby for a private check-in experience
- Depending on the room you pick, from superior rooms to ultra-luxe palaces, each elegant accommodation features custom bedding and a spa-inspired bathroom with a double vanity
- Your Crockfords stay includes priority access to resort venues, 24-hour Luxury Ambassador service, and more exceptional amenities that other Resorts World hotel guests don’t get
Unless you’ve got money or you’re celebrating something special, you’re probably not going to find yourself booking a room at Crockfords.

The Bottom Line: Hilton, Conrad, or Crockfords?
The choice between Hilton, Conrad, or Crockfords at Resorts World will depend on your preferences and budget. Each hotel offers distinct experiences, catering to different needs. Here’s a summary of things to consider:
- Hilton ($$) – provides a more affordable option with comfortable accommodations, making it suitable for those looking for a budget-friendly stay. Standard room sizes are 400 square feet.
- Conrad ($$) – as the mid-range choice, strikes a balance between luxury and cost, offering a more upscale experience than Hilton. Standard room sizes are 550 square feet.
- Crockfords ($$$) – the most expensive, caters to those seeking the utmost in luxury and exclusivity. Standard room sizes are 550 square feet. This lobby is going to be way calmer and less busy than the other two. The decor is slightly upgraded at Crockfords, plus you get more perks as a guest there.
When making your final decision, consider the size of the room you want and how much you want to spend. Here’s a quick peek at the cost comparison between the hotels for a Thursday night stay in March:
- Hilton: $149, plus $45 resort fee nightly
- Conrad: $169, plus $45 resort fee nightly
- Crockfords: $259, plus $45 resort fee nightly
All of the standard rooms are very similar in terms of layout. All three hotels boast relatively new accommodations, as they were constructed around the same time.
However, if you’re looking for a villa or premiere suite, this is where the options begin to differ more and you’re going to want to do more research on which of these fits your needs more.
Conrad or Crockfords
If you chose Hilton as your hotel of choice, you can stop reading here. But if you’re debating between Conrad and Crockfords, one of the questions people get stuck on is whether Crockfords is worth the additional cost.
Here’s the same example of the cost differences that I looked up for March:
- Conrad: $169, plus $45 resort fee nightly (or Pay with Points: 80,000 per night)
- Crockfords: $259, plus $45 resort fee nightly (or Pay with Points: 227,000 per night)
Between the Conrad and Crockfords, the basic room sizes are exactly the same – 550 square feet. The layout is tremendously similar, too. They both offer the same toiletries too (Byredo, our fave!).
If you’re paying in cash: The fact that you’ll save almost $100 per night (or a boatload of points if you choose to pay by points) definitely makes me choose Conrad over Crocksfords.
If you’re using a free night certificate that allows you to stay at either: Go with Crocksfords!
