Las Vegas has one of the broadest hotel mixes in the United States, from large casino resorts on the Strip to quieter properties near the airport, convention center and downtown Fremont Street. This BB72 list is built for scanning the whole city before narrowing by location, brand or budget. Use it when you want to see the full hotel set rather than only a small promoted selection.

For first-time visitors, the main decision is usually location. The Strip keeps entertainment and major resorts close together, Downtown works well for Fremont Street and older casino hotels, and airport-area stays can be practical for short trips, rental cars and early flights.

• Downtown Las Vegas: good for Fremont Street, older hotels and nightlife.
• Airport and south Strip: practical for rental cars, business trips and quick stays.
