Heading to Vegas for an adventurous getaway but not quite sure where to stay? Our favorite hotels in Vegas are a bunch of eccentric, over-the-top, and fitting choices for the city of uncensored fun.
Here you'll find hotels that have a shark-filled pool, the strongest light beam in the world, a legal topless beach, and similar features focused on guilty pleasures.
15. Wynn / Encore – The Giga Resort Of Vegas
This gigantic resort covers 215 acres (87 hectares) of land northeast of Las Vegas Boulevard. Together with the adjacent Encore, the Wynn complex has 4,748 rooms, making it the 7th largest hotel in the world!
It's also Forbes Travel Guide's favorite. They gave more Five-Stare awards to Wynn and its sister property, Encore than any other resort and casino in the world. Pretty cool.

14. Luxor – The Iconic Pyramid Tower And Movie Star Of Vegas
This one needs to introduction. Luxor has been a symbol of Las Vegas since its opening in 1993. The emblematic pyramid-shaped tower is named after the city in Egypt, the ancient Thebes, and needless to say, it plays on the Egyptian theme inside and out.
Because of this, the hotel has appeared in numerous films, including the 1996 film Mars Attacks!
Another epic detail of the hotel is the Luxor Sky Beam, the strongest beam of light in the world. It shoots up from the top of the tower straight to the sky, making it visible from all of Las Vegas – in case you get lost.
Will Smith filmed the 1998 video for "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" in Luxor's lobby in front of the sphinx.
Since its opening nearly three decades ago, it has undergone a couple of renovations, and you will likely find an updated room compared to the last time you visited.
One of the biggest advantages of Luxor is the four outdoor pools that you can use after a long night's out.
13. Mandalay Bay / Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas – The Luxurious Vegas
Mandalay Bay is a 43-story luxury resort and casino right on the Strip. Four Seasons Hotel is located within the Mandalay Bay Tower, occupying five floors (35–39).
The five-star and AAA Five-Diamond ratings are no coincidence. The luxurious rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Strip and the mountains and signature marble bathrooms.
The Mandalay Bay Shark Reef aquarium is home to 2,000 animals, including sawfish, giant rays, sea turtles, piranha, jellyfish, crocodiles, and sharks.
You will have access to Mandalay Beach, an 11-acre (4.5 hectares) pool area with a giant wave pool using 1.6 million gallons of water.
Then there is the European-style pool called Moorea, where I've heard females are allowed to be topless. In case you were interested.

12. Bellagio Suites – Dolce Vita In Vegas
Inspired by the Lake Como town of Bellagio, this hotel is famed for its tourist attraction, the Fountains of Bellagio. It's the third-largest in the world after, in recent years, The Dubai Fountain and The Fountain at Okada Manila have taken the crown, yet it remains one of the biggest spectacles of Las Vegas. Another exclusive is the Cirque du Soleil show 'O', based in the hotel's theatre.

7. Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Bold & Bright
There is no way around it; this brand brings controversy as well as bling that's ever so fitting with Vegas.
The tower's golden facade sparkles during sunsets and the building sticks out of the Las Vegas skyline as an eccentric non-conformist, and there is a very good reason behind that.
It's a non-smoking, non-gaming outsider among the swarm of casino hotels.
So if you are looking for a luxurious hotel without the gaming crowd but with a state-of-the-art spa and insanely good views of the Vegas Strip, then this one is the one.
And it's got an amazing outdoor pool too!
6. Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino – Shark Pool Adventures
As you might imagine, with a name like Golden Nugget, this place is all about fun vibes and adventures. How about a three-story tank filled with sharks with a waterslide running through it?
If that's too extreme, you can just swim in the lagoon-style swimming pool. Or grab food at the Chart House restaurant while looking at the marine life inside the 75,000-gallon (284,000 liters) tropical fish aquarium?
The 2,400 rooms are spread over four towers. The most luxurious one, Spa Suite, is located in the Spa Tower, and it has floor-to-ceiling windows, giant mirrors on the ceiling, and an oversize marble bathroom.

The 9,000-square-foot, two-story sky villa has got an array of unique features. For example, it's decorated with some of the best works of Damien Hirst, like "Winner/Loser," which has two bull sharks suspended in formaldehyde.
There is also a salt relaxation room to overcome the worst of hangover days. And, of course, you get an infinity-style Jacuzzi overlooking the Las Vegas Strip and 24-hour butler service.
