"The SuperBook is the best sportsbook in Vegas. The hotel is fine. Elvis played here for seven years. The location is close to the convention center."
Overall Rating
Westgate Las Vegas has one claim to fame that no other resort can match: the SuperBook — the largest sportsbook in Las Vegas, with a 220-foot-wide screen, 350 seats, and a reputation as the best place to bet sports in the city. If sports betting is a significant part of your Vegas experience, the SuperBook alone justifies a visit.
The hotel itself is solid but not exceptional. The rooms were renovated in 2016 and are comfortable. The casino is well-run. The location — off the Strip but close to the convention center — is convenient for convention attendees and accessible via the monorail.
The Westgate is also notable for its history: this is where Elvis Presley performed 837 consecutive sold-out shows from 1969 to 1976. The Elvis suite is still available. The International Theater where Elvis performed is now the Westgate Cabaret.

How this resort holds up in peak Vegas summer (June–September)
The Westgate's off-Strip location means less summer foot traffic and a more manageable pool. The SuperBook is air-conditioned and a good escape from the heat. But the lack of indoor connectivity to other properties means you're relying on rideshares to reach the Strip.
The International Hotel opened July 2, 1969, as the largest hotel in the world at the time. Elvis Presley performed his first Las Vegas engagement here in 1969 and went on to perform 837 consecutive sold-out shows through 1976. The property was renamed the Las Vegas Hilton in 1971. Hilton Hotels sold it in 2012. It was renamed the Westgate Las Vegas in 2014.

The best off-Strip resort in Vegas. The views of Red Rock Canyon are spectacular. The pool is excellent. The casino is the best locals casino in the valley.
Reopened under San Manuel Tribal ownership with a $690 million renovation. The art collection is the most impressive in Vegas. The rooms are exceptional.
Rio Hotel & Casino is in the middle of a major transformation — refreshed rooms, renovated pools, new exterior lighting, and a new identity under Dreamscape Companies. Still off-Strip, still all-suite, still home to Penn & Teller.
