Once again, Westgate Las Vegas has set itself apart as a shining example of what Sin City used to be...and can become again. Their respect for guests, entertainers, and the people of Las Vegas has naturally landed them a coveted spot as Best Overall Resort. So ask yourself...what do you want in a mid-priced destination? Whatever the answer, you're likely to find it here. Reasonable room rates, free parking, superlative dining (including one of the city's few remaining buffets), a great pool, award-winning spa, beautifully-maintained facilities, a fully-vaccinated staff, dedicated monorail station, an aggressive sanitation program, huge convention facilities, the world's largest sportsbook....shall I go on? 

Best Luxury Resort - VENETIAN/PALAZZO

You might be surprised to find Venetian/Palazzo ranking higher than Bellagio, Aria, Wynn, or Cosmopolitan as "Best Luxury Resort". The winning edge comes down to atmosphere. There's an undefinable "something" about the massive Italian-themed destination that feels special. Perhaps it's the unique fragrance that wafts through the air or the entertainers who wander around, breaking into beautiful songs in unexpected places. Or the lengthy list of dining options to satisfy every possible craving.

Spread out over two distinct resorts joined by Grand Canal Shops, Venetian/Palazzo is much like a self-contained city. You'd never have to leave and your Vegas vacation would still be more than satisfying. A superb near-central location offers free parking and easy in/out access. Biggest plus: every room is an expansive suite with step-down living areas and lush details. First-class all the way.
