The Cosmopolitan
The Strip's cool kid. Best dining collection in Vegas, the only balconies on the boulevard, and a casino floor that was literally designed to keep you from gambling.
"A boutique hotel-within-a-hotel at Caesars Palace — Japanese-inspired design, Nobu restaurant access, and a quieter, more curated experience inside one of Vegas's biggest resorts."
Overall Rating
Nobu Hotel is a boutique hotel-within-a-hotel concept inside Caesars Palace. The 181 rooms are Japanese-minimalist in design — clean lines, warm wood tones, and a level of calm that's rare in Vegas. You get full access to Caesars Palace amenities while staying in a quieter, more curated wing.
The Japanese minimalist rooms are a genuine departure from Vegas maximalism. If you want calm and design, this is your spot.
Only 181 rooms. Book well in advance, especially for weekends and holidays.
The rooms are genuinely beautiful — Japanese minimalist design with warm lighting, quality linens, and a peaceful atmosphere. Smaller than standard Caesars rooms, but the quality is higher.
Access to all Caesars Palace pool complex — the Garden of the Gods. One of the best pool complexes on the Strip.
How this resort holds up in peak Vegas summer (June–September)
Guests have access to the Caesars Garden of the Gods pool complex — a significant summer advantage. The Nobu hotel tower is well air-conditioned and the smaller scale means less walking in the heat.
Opened in 2013 as a collaboration between Nobu Hospitality (Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, Meir Teper) and Caesars Entertainment. It was one of the first celebrity chef hotel-within-a-hotel concepts in Vegas.
Design-conscious travelers who want a boutique experience with Strip access. Nobu restaurant devotees. Couples on romantic trips.

Nobu Hotel is the best boutique option on the Center Strip. The design is exceptional, the restaurant is world-class, and the Caesars Palace access means you're not giving anything up. Worth the premium for the right traveler.
Caesars Rewards

The Strip's cool kid. Best dining collection in Vegas, the only balconies on the boulevard, and a casino floor that was literally designed to keep you from gambling.

The fountains are the reason Vegas exists. The rest of the resort is trying to live up to them — and mostly succeeding.

Vegas's most famous resort is also its most confusing to navigate. The toga party ended in 1990. The labyrinthine casino floor never did.
