Mandarin Oriental
If you’re looking to get away from the buzz of the busy casinos but still lap up plenty of high-end style, book yourselves a stay at the Mandarin Oriental. Situated right in the centre of The Strip, the super-luxe hotel offers proximity to all the action of Las Vegas while still feeling beautifully sophisticated.
There’s also plenty to impress couples at the hotel, too, with a secluded pool area and an award-winning multi-level spa on offer, plus a range of exceptional dining options – don’t miss cocktails-with-a-view at the Mandarin Bar or a romantic dinner at Twist by celebrated chef Pierre Gagnaire. The rooms and suites aren’t too shabby, either, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, spa-like bathrooms and chic style.
Four Seasons Las Vegas
Also perfect for couples seeking a classic hotel stay in the heart of Las Vegas’s excitement,Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is beloved for its high-end boutique accommodation, old-world elegance and stellar service.

With metallic patterned wallpaper, granite bathrooms, plush furniture and all the mod-cons, each are ideal for a loved-up city escape. Though tempting, don’t spend your whole stay in your room. Channel your inner silver-screen star at the hotel’s palm-fringed rooftop pool, sample delectable cuisine at one of the many fabulous dining options available, enjoy a nightcap at the indoor-outdoor cocktail lounge or be pampered at the Forbes Five Star Spa. And, if you’re looking to indulge in the Las Vegas lifestyle, hop over to the adjacent Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino for a flutter at the roulette table.

A hotspot for entertainment, nightlife and eclectic accommodation, this new kid on the block is full of youthful energy. From its location in the midway of The Strip, you can take in amazing views of the iconic Bellagio and its famous fountains, but there’s also plenty to see inside.

The Mansion at MGM Grand
For a truly unique stay that’ll make you feel like A-listers in the 1930s, go all-out and book a getaway at The Mansion at MGM Grand. A private enclave styled to resemble yesteryear Tuscany, this enchanting luxury hotel resembles an 18th-century villa while still being attached to the more well-known MGM Grand.

And with 29 individually designed Mediterranean-themed residences (including 21 atrium villas and 8 private garden villas), The Mansion will have you searching through your contact list, looking for any sort of connection.

Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace
Mere mortals will still feel like celebrities when they stay at Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace, just down the road from the VIPs-only Mansion at MGM Grand. Branded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, this Japanese-inspired hideaway is tucked away on the top 12 floors of the extravagant Caesars Palace. Offering the best of both worlds, Nobu Hotel offers a tranquil, minimalist home-away-from-home plus access to one of Las Vegas’s most cherished casinos – just in case you can’t resist a cheeky bet.
The hotel’s 200 rooms and suites are undeniably romantic, combining Japanese décor with natural stone, bronze and black lacquer accents in a way that feels glamorous but not over-the-top. The service does punch above its weight, though, with staff happily organising anything from restaurant reservations to show tickets for guests. If you’d prefer not to stray too far, there’s the aptly named Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis to visit, plus an incredibly luxurious spa. Home to an arctic ice room (complete with faux snowflake canopy) and a tea lounge, Qua Baths & Spa promises rejuvenation. Want more?
