Best for travelers who want the Las Vegas tower experience, observation-deck dining, thrill rides and a lively, value-minded casino stay.

Best for travelers who want new, upscale rooms, multiple pool options, a full-service spa and a large integrated casino-resort within Resorts World.
When The STRAT wins: Choose The STRAT if you want the observation deck and 800+ foot Top of the World revolving restaurant, tower thrill rides (Big Shot, SkyJump, X-Scream), a compact Strip location at the north end, and a more casual casino-and-entertainment vibe with seasonal pool experiences.
When Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World wins: Pick Conrad if you want modern, higher-end rooms within a large integrated resort, more pools (five outdoor), a full-service spa, extensive dining options (about 20 restaurants), and larger conference/casino spaces.
